OT: What is this fascination with cats??

Whay are there so many cats on here. statman, ketjoebennemom, SDS, etc. There is a reason "Man's best friend" hates cats.

Awww---I know you're just trollin', but I'll jump in anyway. ?

No big mystery ~ people have been fascinated by cats since the beginning of time. ?You either dig 'em or you don't. ?

(Personally, I adore dogs, but hate the poop-patrol.) ?;D

it's my way of making up for going to cat hell...we had a mane coon cat for several years before we had kids and he decided to go kookoo at the in-laws house (ie, shatting on white carpet, shatting on white floor mats on white carpet, etc) so after a tussle i won with claw marks on my hands, we gave him up to the local shelter...i do know he was picked up by some unlucky old lady (think of that spongebob episode..."i know you want some cookies, missus tupsy&quot so it eases my guilt somewhat....i raised that crazy cat, took him home a bit early from momma's litter, made him use the litter by laying in front of him and placing him back in the litter box until he had his first little turd and cried and pawed at it like it was a roach, fed him milk from the bottle., freaked out when he lost a tooth and cried all the way to the vet because i thought i injured him (we were playing pull the sock out of my mouth, i won), took him to the vet because we thought his eye was slashed, ended up being a hair in his eye, laughed hysterically whenver he saw balloons or flower bouquets because it made him cringe under the bed for days..all that stuff...very emotional

plus dogs give me allergies, and we won't ever get one cause you know how dogs are, they wait all day just to see you...might as well lock my own kid up in a room all day, come home and watch him jump on me and beg for food...no thanks...cats could care less, which is the way i like it...low maintanence

from an email......about differences of men and women

Women love cats.
Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

I dig cats but they keep jumping out of the hole before I can get dirt on them.

;D ;D ;D that was really good ;D ;D ;D

have you ever seen the catman, now he likes cats.. personally im a dog person.

i dont have anything against cats its just that when i was born (5 days before christmas) we got a puppy or already had one and it was a rott. and her name was Princess. Then after maybe 5 years we were goin ot move and my dad didnt want the dog hair over everything so he gave her away when my mom was at work. (now you have to understand that this was my moms pride an joy right there (besides me) and my dad just took her to the anmimal shleter :'( >
So i guess it was beause i grew up with a dog.


the first or second christmas after living here we got a cat. Her name is Kitty.
Then after our 8th year which is now we got another rott. named Roxxie.
We let her see the cat and the cat about had a heart attack. She stayed in my mom and dads room for a month and didnt see her unitl then.
