Why is it the best thing you can say about a cat is that he's just like a dog?

[Dixon Carter Lee]

We were at a neighbor's house watching the Oscars last night when our cat appeared at the screen door meowing, wanting us to come out of that scary place that had the dreaded "house cats" he doesn't like. "Aw", said all, "he's come to protect you. And he follows you around outside too, doesn't he? He's such a cool cat -- he's a dog!" Why don't we do that to dogs? We don't watch a German Shephard do something cool and say "What a pussy!". How come the best thing we can say about a cat is that he acts like a dog?

I'm just riffing, not really looking for an answer here. Feel free to hijack this thread and flirt with someone who has no real intention of ever fucking you.

I'd say that's the worst thing you could say about a cat.

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Not with me you nutball. I'm still on the cat rant. Grr.

 

[Temptress_1960]

Hey, I was on topic!!

The flirting was just habit.

 

[honeylick]

I thought that was a "cat walk".

LOL I second this... We have a cat, bless her heart she isn't all there, quite a moron. We often say she is like a dog. Not a compliment at all.

Hey does anyone have the quote from "Meet My Parents" when Robert De Niro was saying how you have to earn a cats loyalty but a dog freely gives it away?

Well, if you have a cat who acts like a dog, and, let's face it, the personality of a dog is usually more appealing to people - natural selection has ensured that - then you have a pet who doesn't stink like a dog, who can't bark like a dog, who doesn't take up much room like some dogs, and who has an appealing personality.

It's the best of both worlds.

I have a cat who acts like a dog.

I have a dog that thinks she's a cat, washes her face like a cat, etc.

A cat who thinks she's a dog, she fetches, she sits up and begs and she speaks if you tell her to.

And a dog that thinks she's a bull.

Go figure.

you are right, thats an insult to dogs. Dogs are better because they are smart, loyal and entertaining.
Cats just sit there and have a very cold demeanor.

Cats are not pets, they're roommates...

Nah. Cats are more like people. They have personalities.

Isn't there some joke abou Adam and Eve and dogs and cats? Shit. I used to know how it went, now I've forgotten.

 

[bad kitty]

FOUND IT!

Jack "The dog is an emotionally shallow animal. See, Greg, if you yell at a dog, his ears will go down and his tail will cover his genitals even if he's done nothing wrong. It's very easy to break a dog. But cats make you work for their affection. Cats don't sell out like dogs do."

 

[peachykeen]

Ah, wait, I found the joke, it was in an email from my mom...



Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal." And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased.


And dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."

And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.

And Adam and Eve learned humility.

And they were greatly improved.

And God was pleased.

And Dog was happy.




And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other.

No animal ever asked so little, and gave so little in return...

I love it. So true!

*gasp*

Heresy.

Cats are too smart to grovel like dogs do.

 

[markb325]

Ok you want a strange cat? Go out and find you a Maine Coone. They will beg like a dog, and talk back to you when you scold them. The only thing you have to watch for is the hair when they start shedding. *mutters about long hair cats*

 

[LadyG]

My tabby does that and fetches as well.

She also opens cupboards for the mutts, knocks stuff on the floor for them and growls when someone comes to the door.

She was a dog in her past life. I know it.

 

[Magical_Mother]

Cats are always on the wrong side of the door.
