What is it about cats?
Cat names... Cat signatures... Posts about cats...

Cats are everywhere!!!

Why?!?

Is there some secret cat-society here? What's the deal?

Where are the dog-people?

1. I'm a dog person
But I don't have a dog right now.

As soon as I do, I'll have an avatar and sig file, count on it!

2. Yes.
Our cats have us so well trained, we promote them as a matter of habit.

And it's infectious. All it takes is a few more adorable kitten threads and you become one of us. :7

5. my cats love me
They greet me at the door like puppies when I get home, and they want nothing more than to play and be petted/cuddled. Plus they clean up their own mess :)

13. My boyfriend's parents have a cat.
It sits on me.

If it wants to be petted and I don't pet it, it hits me! POW!!!

If it doesn't want to be petted and I pet it, it bites me!

7. Liberals love cats
for their orneriness. I love dogs too, but I live in a condo and the commute makes my day to long to keep a dog.

12. Cats are definately hornery...
And I can respect that.

But it doesn't mean I have to like it! :)

9. Dog: "You know, I've really got it made here. I have a master who..."
"feeds me, cleans up my poop and provides me with a nice comfortable home. My master must be a god."

Cat: "I've got it pretty good myself. I have a master who feeds me, cleans up my poop and provides me with a nice comfortable home. You know, **I** must be a god!"

And so it is -- some of us live to serve. But dogs are cool, too! :toast:

15. I'll resist for as long as I can!
I once saw a young wild mountain lion. (Believe it or not, it was in NW Iowa!) It looked at me, and I looked at it. It seemed to be thinking, "Yup, I can take her down, if I wanna. Might be a close match, but I could still do it."

I once saw a coyote. It looked at me, and I looked at it. It seemed to be thinking, "If she decides to take me on, I might be in trouble! So, I'd better not provoke her, just in case."

17. cats are
lovely, soft, cuddly, loving, and friendly.

yet at the same time they are mysterious, aloof, and imperious.

its the dichotomy that gets you.

oh, that, and as the quote (i forget from whom) puts it,

"god made cats that man might have the pleasure of petting the tiger."

32. I'm a kitty and a dog person.
I have 2 cats and a dog here at home. For some reason most of the pictures I have are of my cats. When my son was visiting in July I asked him to take pictures of my dog so he took a grand total of one.
