Cat or a Dog person?

[barq]

Like what? I am getting a vibe here that people who like cats do so because there is less commitment. If you mean cleaning up after them then if you had to then would you still want to own one?

My cat used a litter tray for the first year of his life. To be honest it was pretty grim but I still loved him.

Although I'm a cat person I envy dog owners being able to take their pets out for a walk. However I think I've been a bit put off them by some rather badly trained ones that have variously scared me, bitten me, damaged clothes, pissed on my bike, my tent...

Naughty bunny? More like hare of the dog.

My god, rabbits getting in on the act now

You pulled the rabbit out of the hat

Definitely a dog man (love Border terriers), but as we both work full time, it would be unfair to own one. Mind you, my hens are very cool, and need far less looking after.

I hope I didn't cause offence. You are obviously very commited to your animals and what you have done is to be commended. I agree wholeheartedly with your final comment.

No, you didn't offend. Honest. I was just putting another side to the general 'cats take less looking after' 'cats are more independent' 'cats don't show affection' sort of stuff running through the thread

Waflycat thats the most wonderfully uplifting story I've heard in a long while. glad to hear that you have both survived. Animals (wild and domestic) never cease to amaze me with their ability to interact and bond with us.

Hope you enjoy these cat cartoons

cat man through and through. anyone who says cats aren't affectionate are incorrect, it's just that you get back what you give. contrast that with dogs, that love you no matter how badly you treat them. mistreat a cat and it will bugger off. hardly a quality that deserves suspicion.

I'm a cat man.

Used to have two, but sadly one was put down a few years back so now I've only got the 'wee one' who's almost 17. Got her as a kitten from the Cat Protection League, and she's been an indoor cat ever since (because I live in a top-floor flat).

Last week I had to take her to the vet for the first time since she was a few months old, as she's been getting very boney under her fur. Turns out that it seems to be a thyroid problem, and she's now suffering the indignity of being force-fed a pill every day.

She forgets that she's an old girl - mainly because she still looks like a kitten and she's very small. She still steams about the place on hyperdrive like she did as a youngster, and she's still as vocal as she always was (an ex-girlfriend who's a vet says she's never, ever heard a cat that 'talks' as much and as loudly as she does).

I talk to her as I do to a human (since it's just me and her during the week in the flat), and she blethers back. It's always comical !

Which makes a dog more lovable. I rest my point!

so you only love something if you can mistreat it?

how is mrs carlos btw

My wife has a cat that I feed and clean. Over the years, I have got used to it. It is friendly and quite cute. I have never really got on with dogs - not sure why, but I just don't really trust them and I hate the slobbery mouths. So, if forced to chose, it would have to be cat.

Or that a dog's love for its owner is unconditional?

Llama's are the perfect house pet.

sounds like my resume too Hope `Wee one ' is feeling more him/herself now on thyroxine ?

I have two so its me and the two cats all weekend . One sleeps all day the other sleeps all night so I usually have at least one to talk to

My ex was a vet nurse so if either of the cats get sick I go to pieces and am incapable of making any decisions. Poor Kathy has to be the one to stick needles and pills into them so they both hate her !...

Yes I'm another cat person
