Do you trust A CAT?

Something not quite right about these creatures, furtive, scheming?

not good hiding behind nature argument when in nature you'd never have such a population of cats

irresponsible owners who don't fit their cat with a bell should be fined, a lot

Dunno bout killing them but cats have attacked plenty of babies , everyone used to have a cat net on their pram - in the days when babies were allowed fresh air !

Not only bird murderers but mega jealous too.

What a mean thing to say. But that's dog owners for you, I guess.

[Calderyon]

Quite many Catits in this thread.

Horrible people.

[Twosugars]

Cats do no have to.

Dogs do what they are told to cause they are mindless creatures.

they're not mindless, they're one of the most intelligent animals on the planet
close to apes, as research have shown
they care about us and they want to help us and protect us
cats are selfish, are with you only bc of food and shelter, dogs are with you bc they "love" you

[Twosugars]

What a mean thing to say. But that's dog owners for you, I guess.

mind you, I've known some decent cats in my time, former neighbours' cat, Pinky (imaginetively named after his pink bumhole) was a nice cat, didn't chase birds (but that probably bc he was lazy), spent some nights at our place too (it was originally owned by the previous occupiers of our house) which goes to show he was attached to the place, not the owners
but he was a decent cat unlike most of other cats

[Calderyon]

Wow you really hate cats a lot.

[Calderyon]

I can relate to cats, dogs I could never. Well maybe some of quieter ones.

I guess humans always like to have a servant ie: someone to do do things for them instead of doing it themselves.

[Twosugars]

tbh only bc of what they do to wildlife
if that could be controlled I'd have no problem with them

so it's not about cats, but you :laugh:
there're plenty of quiet dogs
I guess humans always like to have a servant ie: someone to do do things for them instead of doing it themselves.
they see it as cooperation, give and take, as should we

only humans have a concept of master-servant dynamics, dogs don't
we should see ourselves as guardians of our animals not masters

[Calderyon]

I just find cats more interesting and challenging than silly dogs.

[Calderyon]

tbh only bc of what they do to wildlife
if that could be controlled I'd have no problem with them

They have to do that in order to survive. They don't do it for fun. It's their nature.

Cat's diary

Day 983 of My Captivity

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously a moron. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…

How to give a cat a pill:

1.Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

2.Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

3.Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

4.Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

5.Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

6.Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7.Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

8.Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil, and blow down drinking straw.

9.Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink 1 beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

10.Retrieve cat from neighbour's shed. Get another pill. Open another beer. Place cat in cupboard, and close door onto neck, to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

11.Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of Scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot. Throw T-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

12.Call fire department to retrieve the damn cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbour who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil-wrap.

13.Tie the little @!!@#@#$%'s front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy-duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of steak filet. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

14.Consume remainder of Scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and remove pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

15.Arrange for RSPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

Not all cats are bad as long as the owner has them trained , but overall I agree Dogs are more loyal and useful & intelligent .

Are they really more intelligent though? I mean does doing what the human tells you to do make you more or less intelligent? :laugh:

Vitale Shreve and Herculano-Houzel both said that it’s difficult to study intelligence using behavioral studies, which typically involve on animals performing tasks or solving puzzles. Also, few studies have directly compared dog and cat cognition, and in fact, only a handful of researchers study cats at all. Vitale Shreve said until scientists find the right methods to investigate dogs and cats together, it’s really not fair to make comparisons.

“There’s this perception of cats being untrainable or maybe hard to work with,” Vitale Shreve said. “Cats display a lot of individual variation and have distinct personalities, which make it hard for researchers to understand them.”

In summary, intelligence is a nuanced and complicated thing

What about that cat in America who saved the toddler who was being bitten and dragged away by a dog? It saved that little boy from serious injury. This proves how much love and loyalty the cat felt for his humans.

And my 16 year old arthritic cat was killed in my lounge by a dog that chased it through the cat flap, so dogs can kill things too.

I don't understand why so many people think if you like dogs you have to criticise or detest cats and vice versa. Both dogs and cats are wonderful in their own ways and both have wonderful characteristics- you just have to spend time with them and truly get to know them as individuals, and they just need to be handled and respected for the species they are by human beings.

I say love all animals.:lovedup:
