    I still think all cats need to die. I've hated them since I was very very young. Give me my dogs any day.

    humans appearantly love to make idiotic assumptions.

    naming cats and assuming that they don't already have names of their own fall equaly into this cat-igor-y.

    cats, like all small furry creatures with big sharp teeth, are both psychic and have their own lives to live. they don't come when their called because they know we're full of shit. would you?

    well mine do, they both seem to love me and i love them.
    I name my cats, I think trees have spirits and if people think that idiotic so be it, it doesn't make any difference to me

    themnax, i completely and utterly disagree with you. you too, ganj. i'll never understand why "Dog People" utterly despise cats. i think they're both awesome. i've decided that for Dog People, as opposed to those who just like them, dogs are a penile extension and proof of their own self-appointed god status.

    Cats come when you call them. I don't know where the ridiculous lie that says otherwise comes from. Obviously they comprehend something about human language.

    my moms cat always came to us yelling "Pandora come here" but it was only because she knew that phrase (always uttered with the same inflection) meant we had a bug for her to play with. She came with the same zeal when we shook the container of Pounce Treats

    Yeah, generally a hamster is more responsive to its name than a cat.
    ...and cats are just nasty little buggers for the most part. Some people take them wayyyyy too seriously.
    I always try to name pets things that sound funny when shouted...like "murderface".

    cats, like humans, don't "always" anything. i didn't mean to imply or imply aggreement with those who claim, they "never" come when the're called.

    but do YOU ALWAYS come when you're called?

    i do maintain however that little furry creatures have highly developed psychic senses and usualy have a pretty good idea what we're up to.

    cats are like any natural wild creature, and ourselves, in that they have the full frontal lobe and thus not physiologicly 'domesticated. unlike domestic dogs and cattle which are. and it is precisely this that MAKES THEM attractive to me, and to most people who don't feel they have themselves to be the center of anyone's universe, even that of nonhumans from the same planet they share their houses with.

    dogs make a great emotional dildo for those who are emotionaly attatced to the idea of having to have companionship. cats and more exotic creatures make better companions for those of us who are less so inclined.

    (yes i am saying people who prefer dogs to cats are more likely to be or become emotionaly co-dependent, they also tend, to be more inclined to support and wish to participate in the concept of hierarchy)

    in other words, i love cats more precisely BECAUSE, like many natural wild creatures, they tend to be anarchists. some, most, are well bahaived anarchists, but anarchist, in the positive sense i use that term none the less.

    we're a community in our house. kai's cat is never more than 10 feet away from her, and sits on the lid of the toilet when kai's taking a bath. dave's cat IS incredibly clingy, too. even cats can be conditioned to clingy socialized behavior. i know, because all of our cats have ended up very doglike. it gets tedious. i love them and all, but not having them underfoot would be nice. and yeah, i do always come when called by my friends or family. that's even in my own home. my mother trained me well.everyone else can go hang.

    The answer to this, obviously, is to stop killing off the wolf population.

    coyotes, owls, hawks, other birds of prey. but no, the overpopulated human race HAS to kill of all the rival predators. fuck people who hate cats. that's just stupid. 'course, it's utterly ridiculous and a little insane to worship them, too.
