Some people mainly don't like them as they're allergic to cat hair. And they do tend to leave hair wherever they sleep, as well as having the tendency to scratch at things (not that similar things don't happen with indoor dogs).

I guess that's mostly it, really?

I personally like both. I have a dog and two cats... they all live outside under the veranda in kennels with each other (seriously, one of the cats dribbles and malts like crazy...).

Cats are ok. But I'd rather have a dog.

Everybody has their opinions so why does it matter what other people think really? To me the only opinion that truly matters is my own.

I don't get why everyone just doesn't get a cat and a dog. It's cute when you see them sleeping ontop of each other or play fighting.

It was the best response to your strawman post about pet neglect. I guess it was your only course of action after losing the cats showing affection discussion.

Well I am a lodger currently with a cat present in this house. It doesn't barely give a damn for your attention. Whines for hours for food. Bites/scratches in the middle of a playful session. Hair balls everywhere. they just don't seem to do anything but act stupid to some silly situations (which is about the only fun). I see no advantages over a dog except low maintance... to the point where they are boring.

Don't see how that was a strawman post. And this entire time I've been claiming that owners erroneously assume affection when the behavior in question doesn't warrant such a conclusion. I don't have to do this with EVERY behavior either. Once I show this happening at all then I have proven my point. But hey, sue me. I care more about animals than I care about using them to validate my sense of worth.

Lots of people don't have any business owning either, let alone both. Regardless, thinking it's cute when they sleep together is a pretty bad reason to get an animal.

I Never said that was a sole reason to get one.. I just said it was cute. Obviously 70% of people out there shouldn't own any living thing let alone a kid or dog. This includes people who get a dog then put it in a kennel for 10 hours a day, leave their dog outside in the backyard 24/7, never wash their dog/cat, lack of feeding, people who shout and chase their pets when they do something wrong.

And now an appeal to emotion. Desperation. I understand, have to save face somehow.

I think it's because cats are the guardians of the underworld.

:lol: Desperation? This is coming from a person whose idea of a reply is a cute pet photo. In any case, I've been arguing for the well being and safety of pets right since the beginning of this thread, something I don't recall you even addressing once. The health and safety of the animal is the entire point, and it's pretty telling that you think discussing such a thing is an act of "desperation".

"Think of the Kitties!" :roll: Weren't you arguing that cats who follow their owners, constantly rubbing against them, purring, and kneeding their owners, dont actually care about their owners, and would rather be off by themselves? Your initial point was "They don't want friends, they don't want companions." Strange how you now claim that's somehow related to an argument regarding their health and safety.

And we've reached Ad Hominem from you. It's like watching someone go through the 7 stages of Grief. Just bail dude, it's your only course of action that results in you not looking more foolish.

No, my initial point was that wanting a friendly animal is a piss poor reason for getting a cat. Try to keep up.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You do realize that what you just wrote is also an ad hominem attack, right?

Cats are friendly so long as you care for them with love. Herp Derp, animals dont love you if you beat them. I know you're old geezer, but use your brain.
