Clearly not all women, I hate cats

I don't think it's a woman thing. Maybe it is. I'm a woman, and I don't have strong feelings for or against cats. More evidence needed.

I don't agree that it is women alone. As a man I can say that I too am obsessed with pussies.

princess-lala

I don't like cats.

My friends all love the pussies though :pac:

I didn't say all women now...the ones that do just seem to be obsessed.

Cat pictures and sayings on walls, extraordinary amount of cat paraphernalia etc...

Dogs are way cooler than cats. Cats are kinda boring but dogs are fun.

Women love stroking their pussies innit?

Yup. What's the "smelly" thing about? Never encountered a cat that smells.

No, its the fact that they toilet inside. Its usually the house not the cat that smells.

If trained properly a cat won't either, we always had cats at home growing up and they always went to the door to show us that they wanted to go outside to toilet.

Dogs are dependant. much more hassle.

If you have kids, you don't wan't the problem of a dog.

Don't get me wrong, we had dogs as kids. diff time then. Women stayed at home & looked after the show.

Wouldn't work now in most households.

Price you pay in the modern world.

OK, well then the next time I need a wash I'll clear my throat, build up spittle and cover my body with it, let it dry off and consider it done. Then will hock up a ball of my own hair for good measure. Or not. I happen to dig cats, but they're a long way from "clean". They have the potential to transmit many more pathogens to humans than dogs do. We've been around the latter for so much longer so have accommodated our mutual immune systems to a much greater extent.

Well that is very unusual in fairness. Most people have those disgusting boxes.

I probably am a bit obsessed with my cat. I just think he's as cute as a teddy bear and he's so playful he makes me laugh. The way cats can climb and leap from great heights is fascinating to me too.

Look lads, Id much rather if a burglar with eyes on me money and car keys walked into a German Sheperd in the dark of night than a Tabby :cool:

None of these things are the cats fault now are they?

I'm surprised the poor creatures tolerate us at all considering in the middle ages they were killed by our idiot forefathers based on nothing but superstition.

All too often in the bloody kitchen and then they think the cats are "cute" when they walk all over the kitchen surfaces.

I don't blame the cats, cats are generally pretty damn cool. It's more the self declared "Cat people" that freak me the fcuk out. They usually espouse the whole independent/selfish/emotionally remote vibe as being a good thing about cats. The cats seem to have little say in this however. Most cats I've met in my life have been actually very affectionate and "loyal" with it. Their owners seemed to miss, or ignore this however, in favour of their worldview.

TL;DR. cats are cool, cat people are all too often good examples of what they think a cat represents. See above. I usually prefer their cats to them. Given how many cats "stray" to other owners, I reckon the cats feel the same about this type.

I have to admit I'm mildly obsessed with my cat. But not cats in general. I actually disliked them before we got her. The only reason we got cat instead of dog was because when we first moved to Ireland we were renting and the rental had a small back yard. We got cat as thought Little Kiwi should have a pet to care for. Neither of us liked cats and were quite aprehensive before she arrived. Everyone in family fell instantly in love with lovely natured, funny, affectionate, sweet, clean cat. 18 months later bought house in country and got dog.

If house was on fire and I had to choose between saving cat or dog, it would be cat without a moments hesitation.

Men like cats too.

This cat, for example, is a decorated war hero:

I know of numerous such conversions. They're lubbly.

Who mentioned "fault"? Just pointing out the obvious holes in your "hygiene" thesis.

I'm surprised the poor creatures tolerate us at all considering in the middle ages they were killed by our idiot forefathers based on nothing but superstition.

And were equally venerated for being demigods among the ancient Egyptians. So what? It's not as if cats are reading history books, they have more sense.

Dogs have been equally maligned depending on culture. Islam is very iffy about dogs as but one example. Their wild cousins the wolf, went from demigod to pariah and has been wiped out in many areas, including this island of ours.

Me, I'll stick with my take, which is cats = well cool, cat people = bless/wtf/gtfo/best avoided.

May not be their fault, but it'd give me good enough reason to never have one.

I'd happily have a dog in the house, but never a cat. In saying that, cats are good at keeping vermin away, but they can do that from outside.

I love cats. And they don't smell. My cat goes to the door when he needs to take a piss or do a crap. I like dogs too, but cats are just better - smarter and more aethstetic.

A cat keeps clean by licking itself, what's wrong with that, I don't see it as unhygienic to do this.

I'd prefer that any day to a dog licking it's balls and then licking my face.

Actually dogs, specifically terriers are far better ratters than cats. Most dogs of any decent nature are bloody good vermin killers. "Purebreds" of the British bulldog type, among other Krufts type inbreeds that can barely walk without wheezing are to be avoided on this score.

Actually just caught a snippet of that Krufts fiasco. A bunch of banjo playing inbreeds being celebrated? GT everliving FO. Thankfully cats haven't gone down so far down that rabbit hole of insanity.

I like both dogs and cats. I don't know anyone with those litter trays though.

Whenever I see my cat, we smash heads together as a sign of affection. I love the little guy.

10 Downing St is also home to the 'Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office', the top job for a British cat. The post is currently filled by 6 year old tabby Larry.

Famous Chief Mousers from the past include Wilberforce who served during the Thatcher administration and Humphrey who worked with three different PMs in the 90s.

Really? OK. Interesting logic disconnect. As I said about cat people...

I'm defo feeling Gandhi's vibe about Christianity here. Paraphrasing of course.

OH is a man. He is also a bit obsessed with cat. Cat likes to lie on him vertically and make herself as flat as possible with her head on his chest. She also seems to particularly like doing the figure eight thing around his legs.

You've not spent a whole lot of time around cats if you've never seen them licking their bum holes.

geckovision

Dogs aren't a hassle if you want a dog and can look after it. If you can't, don't have one.

Always had dogs growing up. Great companions, so affectionate and loyal and what they can be trained to do is unreal.

What annoys me is when some who prefers one over the other starts posting about how cats for example, are better etc. Seriously grow up.

Some people will have a preference. Shocking isn't it? It's like dogs are Android and cats are Apple!

What is it with people's need to pick sides over stupid things like this?

I like both, but prefer dogs overall. Would have a cat or two in the event I couldn't own dogs.

Maybe you can point out where I said I never saw them licking their bums, the difference is they won't try and lick your face afterwards.

I want to get a dog, but i'm not currently in a position to care for one as one should. So i've been looking at getting a cat. They're more self sufficient. But, it just doesn't seem right a single guy getting a cat as a pet...

Why?

I'm a single guy and I have 2 cats.
