Sammy dog has been gone now for, 3 years on the 20th Sept. I miss him still.<br> Sooty, the cat from next door, who p1ssed on my tools in my garage and who screamed at night whilst having a turd or fight outside my place has been dead for 6 weeks, and nobody misses it.<br> With dogs, you get (the spelling is going to be bad Ian, and I oppolagizwe, appolijise) affection, companionship, love and the best welcome you could get from anything or anybody.
Cats = fleas, fur balls, dead mice brought into your house, smelly urine in "my" garage, fish from my pond "clawed" out to be murdered and nothing else.
<br> I dont like cats!
<br> What are they good for?

girls who like dogs are a bit odd, in my (no doubt twisted) opinion, and those who like cats are more likely to be saucy. see, there is reason within my madness…
June 24, 2005 at 20:29 #92120Only people who are really insecure in themselves have dogs. If they don’t have a dog or a hamster they are probably the most stupid thing in the house ..

On this issue, I agree with you sweetheart.<br>
June 25, 2005 at 08:43 #92123I’m fond of a little pussy round the house, though an old dog can be fun to.
June 25, 2005 at 14:00 #92125Welcome back Dungheap ..
June 26, 2005 at 00:02 #92126yes, wb Dung.
Dogs are just too free with their affections. One purring cat cuddlign up under your arm is worth twenty dogs lolloping about your nether regions with their tongues salivating.
June 26, 2005 at 00:10 #92127Oh – and I agree with NV about ‘cat-birds’ and the sauciness quotient. However, i do wonder, somewhat worriedly, how he finds these links.
June 26, 2005 at 08:55 #92128Agreed LM – vermin.
June 26, 2005 at 12:12 #92129I love cats and dogs. Each animal has its own place. When I am able to spend more time at home I will have another dog.
June 28, 2005 at 12:08 #92132For all you cat haters out there, I hear that a little anti-freeze in a bowl of milk at the back door works wonders!
PS Howdya attach a pic to a reply?
June 29, 2005 at 16:47 #92134I love cats (and have one, who is thoroughly house trained). As far as dogs go I’m not a fan, and the smaller they are the worse they are – especially those little yappy disgusting balls of fur. At least with a cat you don’t have to follow it around picking up shi te.
June 29, 2005 at 19:18 #92136Being brought up with a racing pigeon man for a dad i have learnt to dislike the wee buggers. I can still remember watching my dad walk out of his loft and seeing his face one morning after the tom cat from next door had broken in and killed all the birds in that section. Wiped out all his good stock birds and his loft has never recovered. He always used to keep his Jack Russell indoors when he saw the cat was in its garden but after that episode he never did, hence the said cat soon lost a tail.  <br>The destruction they have done to us and to the wildlife around is beyond belief. Give me a dog anyyyyyyyyyyyyy day of the week. <br> The reason you don’t have to pick up your cats shi-te Mesh is the dirty wee gits do it in other folks gardens:angry: <br>

July 6, 2005 at 12:11 #92141Soba,
As a fellow member of the pigeon racers union I concur wholeheartedly. Cats have no place in civilised society as too many owners do not/cannot control them.
Can you imagine if people walking their dogs took a little detour into your garden and let their dog take a crap on your lawn. Nobody would stand for that but somehow its ok for them to let their cat out all night to wander where it likes crapping where it likes and shagging/killing what it likes.
For people who keep birds/poultry/small animals as pets in their garden or who take pride in their garden to have things ruined by a neighbours cat should not be tolerated. If the owner cannot keep the cat in their own garden then it should be tied up when out or kept indoors.
July 6, 2005 at 15:51 #92142Hiya,
I always remember the Jack Dee stand-up routine regarding dogs, cats, and how their very nature is polarised in their attitude to you putting up a stack of shelves in the house.
The dog will be wide-eyed, slobbering, staring inanely, and thinking;<br>"I love you. I don’t know what you’re doing, but I love you. I really do."
In the same scenario, the cat will be regarding you with barely concealed disdain, thinking to itself;<br>"Call those shelves? Pah. I’m not risking putting my books on those!"
I love cats as they are infinitely more deep, characterful and sarky than 99.9% of dogs. I’d have said 100%, but my late-lamented Einstein did his bit to besmirch the good name of cats by ramming his head through letterboxes having mistaken them for catflaps, knocking a mirror off a wall to see the other cat hiding behind it, giving himself bronchitis by hoovering up large clumps of dust from under the radiator when hunting for silverfish, and so on.
