Cats are better than dogs in *every* way

I've heard more than once "OK, but can your cat protect you from a burglar or mugger?"

When I get that F1 Savannah, yes, yes it can.



Not sure I can think of a dog I'd put up against a cat that big, lord knows I'd pee my pants and run away. Not only can it eat my face, it can do it while I'm standing.

I think I would rather buy a horse! Or a boat, for fucks sake.

$17,000 for a damned giant cat........ridiculous.

However, as an owner of a regular domestic cat with who is naturally well-behaved with normal curiosity and a love for climbing, I'm not sure I want a cat with higher intelligence and greater need for stimulation. Even my little cat, I can imagine the damage she could wreak if she were so inclined. That large cat looking for fun? I don't think so.
