Do you like cats?

This is the lovely Bella....my friend's cat. She is my little buddy every week when I visit. (and yes, that is where the name comes from...lol)

I love cats. I can't have one at home for several reasons, but I really enjoy visiting friends who have cats.
One of my friend's cats really took a fancy to me. Although she normally avoided people she didn't know, on my very first visit at this friend's home she came to sit on my lap. When I was gone, my friend told me that the cat was looking for me in all rooms of the house. When I came back a year later the cat remembered me and was always at my side as if I had never been away. This cat really had adopted me. I was sad when my friend told me that she had died.

I think people who call cats disloyal or unfriendly don't know cats very well. Cats are more like people, they are able to like and dislike things and people. And they are brutally honest. You can dominate a dog, it will crawl back to its master even after a beating. You can bribe a dog, and it will do all sorts of things to humor you. A cat won't. If it doesn't like you, it won't take even its favourite food from your hand. It will never relinquish its own free will just to humor a human being. But if it loves you it will go to great lengths to show you its love.

Of course there can be nice dogs and mean cats, but on the whole I've seen nice character traits in more cats than dogs.

My mate hates cats because he's terrified of them. Their eyes freak him out, whereas I personally love staring cats down. It's infinitely more satisfying than staring down a dog.

Agreed.

I've deployed this scenario many times. Since cats take staring into the eyes as a primal threat. Although for some odd reason, I always get a cold chill (goosebumps) myself when deploying the eye-to-eye staring lock with cats. Couldn't really tell you why though.

Yes/No. Sure they're cute and cuddly, but as you said they're leeches. Whereas a dog really 'loves' you and is more of a sporty/energetic type. And cats claw you more often than your dog would bite you. :P

I love cats...they're delicious.....

Don't think you would see a cat doing this. Tears to my eyes every time I watch it:



Cats are scavengers. I think a cat would eat another cat in these circumstances.

Not all cats, we have a siamese cat and he behaves pretty much like a dog, thats why we like it.

I did like cats until we did the "Black Light Test".

All cats use the litter box to do their thing. All litter boxes have germs from the cat doing its thing.

When the sun goes down turn off all your lights in the kitchen so it is completely dark. Then turn on the "Black Light" You can see all the paw prints where the cat has been, probably right after the litter box. And the kitchen is the place where you prepare food.

Sorry no more cats for us! :)
