My dog (Husky/Pit Bull mix) found an abandoned kitten while we were on a walk. She raised it like it was her puppy, and now they are great companions when I'm away from home.

Also, I toilet trained the cat. No cleaning a poop box for me! Don't hate.

I don't like animals other than fish but having a cat has its perks: free rodent control, they take a crap outside (if you get the right ones), and they don't bother you.

I had about three stray cats that used to hangout in my backyard when I bought my house. I wanted to get rid of them. I asked an older gentleman how I should do it and he said" if you get rid of the strays , you'll get
Mice". I went fifteen years of various stray cats but no mice. As soon as the strays died off , I started to see my first mice. That's what cats are for. The moral of the story - appreciate free Kitty.
 
My local IGA has an entire aisle (one side) of cat related supplies. I have to buy my taco seasoning and shells separate because they dont carry the stand and stuff kit. Cats got mind control over Deebo. No thanks.

As long you treat your pet right I am cool with whatever you have, but I have no idea what makes an adult male want a cat over a dog.

It's just unnatural for grown men to want cats. It's one thing if you have a family, but single straight men who own cats are just creepy. Usually either serial killers or rapists.:eek:

Oh yea, and no one should own an animal that craps in a box in their house anyway.

You've never needed to diaper your incontinent dog. The stench is enough to knock you over.
 
My brother's GF dumped him and moved out, leaving him with her childhood cat. He didn't want her, now I take care of her. She is awesome. The only annoying part - I decided to take this indoor cat outside one time about 2 months ago and now all she wants is to be outside. She is 17 and can not handle the outdoors on her own. Now, to avoid her incessantly whining while standing in front of the sliding glass door, I am guilted into hanging out with her on a super long leash for hours on end in the backyard. Granted, reading/doing computer work poolside isn't bad. I hope she gets her fix this summer before it gets cold.

The cat is awesome. Very loving. Still, doesn't compare to having a dog. The old guy was a Husky, too. My favorite activity with my dog was enjoying the outdoors and I sure as hell can't go hiking with my cat.

I thought you were like 60. I was very wrong.

I figured coming out as a cat guy would make me seem even older than I am. That's funny, I thought you were a grumpy old 60 year old as well before that whole poker game. We are probably the same age.

Which remind me, we need another one.
 
I had a cat when I was a kid, Mesha, story goes we had to give it away because it kept attacking us kids, especially my younger sister. I was of course young too so I can't remember who really provoked these attacks, but I'll trust my parents on it. Haven't had a cat since. What I do have is a lifetime of knowing other people's cats. I would generously say only about 30% of them were cool, genial animals. Unlike @Robertelamin's cats, most of them sucked, openly disdained you or straight-up threatened your life. I've also had a lifetime of owning and knowing other people's dogs. 99% of them were always genuinely happy to see you and all of them treated humans like living gods.

He can try Chick-Fil-A. They finally have one in CT. That can be his new fetish and he'll go from a 100% chance of getting triple bypass to about 95%.

You're digging a deeper and deeper hole.

A feral cat had kittens in my neighbors yard and they started feeding them. I said it was a bad idea, there will be a lot more. So of course it became my problem. After catching and adopting out about 15 kittens and young cats while getting the last few ferals spayed and neutered, I now have three cats. A mother and two of her kids.

The mother cat was a feral but became a great cat. She goes out in the morning and comes back in at night. She keeps the squirrels out of the garden (killed a few), brings me snakes and other creatures. Her kids are a pain in the ass on the other hand.

Don't forget to dress up your cat when you're done.

I've always thought that if a dog were human sized it would just want to play with you still. If a cat were human sized it would just murder you. Cats are plotters.

The only thing cats have going for them is that they're miniature versions of lions/tigers/etc.

I initially didn't even want to bring up her name since I thought that would be the especially embarrassing part (I didn't give it to her). Hint: it is one of the most frequently used derogatory terms in current online political debates, especially on the Cesspool. And no, her name is not "" or "."

Heh, at least that'll make it easy to get her out of a tree if need be. Yoink!
 
I don't understand why anyone would willingly invite an animal to live in their house. There are cat people and there are dog people and despite their differences, they're exactly alike in that they live in some degree of animal filth.

No matter what you say about how clean your cat or dog is, it is an animal and it rubs its butt on everything you own. And when it's not rubbing its butt on your stuff, it is looking for stuff to throw up on.

All of you have couches or beds that have animal upchuck particles mixed with animal butt particles on it and that is gross.
