I have a very beautiful, adoring, naughty, independent, “puppy cat” called Billy. He’s a Rag Doll feline, bred for beauty and love of humans. Never been happier.

I like dogs and cats.

And horses and cows and sheep and blue tongued lizards. Each has an indescribable beauty, each has its place and each is an expression of the bounty of life. I am not religious, but there is something so spiritual about nature and the way animals other than humans relect it. They are so genuine in what and who they are, so connected with their natures, unashamed. By the way – dogs love everyone, it is what they do. But earning a cat’s love is a beautiful thing. They make you feel special.

That’s a sinister-looking moggie, Anna!

My two cats are much better at looking cute for their food.

I have this as my laptop’s wallpaper, to remind me that no matter how well I do in life, there’s a being for whom I am nothing more than a source of food.

jo@64,
I’ve been without a dog for a few years now since my last chihuahua died. (Life is a bit easier with chihuahuas cause you can take them places and get away with hiding them in/under your shirt.) Nevertheless, I do have to adsmit to a certain relief about not being constrained in my movements now I no longer have a dog. While I truly miss my little fellow and accasionally fantasise about talking the real estate owner into letting me get another one – one of my neighbours a few flats up has a silky terrier – I prefer to chat to dogs that don’t belong to me, But I knw exactly what you mean.

Cats are EVIL – why else do they associate with witches as familiars ?

You say that like there is something the hell wrong with that. There is nothing the hell wrong with that. I say there is something the hell wrong with you – you and your little dogicide fantasies and unfounded cat slander. Say different and I will shapeshift you into a lump of tuna quivering in my cat’s bowl. You’d be wondering about the fishy goings on then, let me assure you.

A couple of my acquaintance once had a cat which they attempted to raise as a vegetarian by feeding him rice and lentils. They were not successful in this endeavour and the pussy did not grow up to be as big and strong as old Vladimir #30. My ex also reports having encountered a couple who attempted something similar with their cat, who consequently (a) was very skinny and (b) would have been even skinnier had it not been for the native wildlife it devoured.

This is very important. Is that the single malt or the womble? Kinky womble references should be accompanied by youtube links, at the very least.

My favorite dog moment.

We’re all seriously try to convince a mate he’s too drunk to drive. He’s finally pointing to where he thought his car keys where when his dog turns up, tail wagging to break the sound barrier, dragging along in her jaws the remains of our mutual mate’s last drinks. Six very chewed plastic rings with two cans of VB still left. “Hey! Still cold!”

If yer wondering what happened next – well we responsibly didn’t let the dog drive. Very boozy Scooby-Doo on the beach moment.

My favourite cat moment.

So we’re fucking away one night and I look up to see one of the house’s cats curled up on the pillow next to my head, watching the proceedings like a jaded old theatre critic.

I swatted him away and refocused for awhile. Suddenly we could hear a distinct rumbling sound that we weren’t generating. We looked up and there were all three of that house’s cats now comfortably ensconced around us (Yes, he’d gone and rounded up the others) – observing the floor show while purring on in a way best described as sardonic. “Call that a tail?”. Very kinky Tobermory moment.

We grew up with cats and dogs in equal numbers and I love both but have regretfully decided against dog ownership because it entails greater responsibility and higher vet bills. This will be the last cat I own too, because despite my best efforts he still exacts a toll on the native wildlife (as do the local dogs, it was only a fortnight ago I had to step over the disarticulated forelimb of a ‘roo at our local headland, the work of perfectly well cared for local ‘pooches’). The clincher was the night I felt something scamper over my foot and assumed it was yet another mouse only to find the next morning that my beloved cat had brought in an exquisite, intact, and now moribund feather glider.

Cats are EVIL – why else do they associate with witches as familiars ?
They are also extremely unintelligent – otherwise they would be able to discern my loathing for feline kind, rather than assaulting me with their purring, attempted lap sitting and other crimes ?

My (sadly defunct) fox terrier was frequently terrorised by bloodthirsty cats as a pup, and grew up with what can only be regarded as a healthy hatred of them, and while he lived returned the favour (with a bonus) so effectively that I didn’t have to deal with the monsters invading my domain – and he was more effective at rodent extermination than any moggie I’ve ever encountered and pretty good on starlings too.

Unfortunately he died of cancer at 10 and the neighbour’s cat has returned and constantly tries to ingratiate itself to me. But I know of the dark, satanic rituals which were so obviously a product of cat practice and in all probability lead to poor Toby’s early death – and one day I will have my revenge.
