Cats are all that and no bag of poo for you!
-they don't bark
-no need for a human walker with a 100' lead so the dog can get all up in your yard.
-no need to mark every lawn
-non biters
-can't see em or know they exist
-eat mice
-eat small anything that moves or at least bats it into submission
-can be left alone forever- they don't need anyone basically.
Who wants a cat?

We love cats. Down through the years, our seven cats knew how to get anything they wanted, including opening doors and turning on water faucets.
We also love dogs. Three of our five dogs (all large retrievers) were too mild mannered and accommodating to cause anything any harm or get into any trouble at all. The other two were just dumb!
Loved them all. None of them was interested in watching tv, though. Picture of two of the smart ones.

the super smart ones can do many things! i knew a german shorthaired pointer that could climb the chain link run fence, scale the top & leap over. after we had to put him in a more enclosed space, he taught himself how to open the latch on the kennel gate. VERY smart creatures, probably much like your 2 babies

Free cat TV channel on UTube TV. Our Himalayan will sit for hours if we let her watching until she falls asleep, and falls off the chair arm.

-non biters
Tell that to my daughter, who was constantly being bitten by her roommate's cat...
But then again, that cat was an @sshole...
She'd be sitting in your lap, calm as could be, getting petted. And just like that, she'd snap and start clawing and biting you... Freakin' psycho...

And let’s not forget the counter, when u own a cat, they surf the counters. Anyone who says their cat doesn’t do that is delusional, unless of course they made the cat so fat it can’t jump that high.
While ur sleeping ur litter box is on the tables and counters.
That’s the reason I hate potlucks.

Cat Diary
Day 983 of my captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.... for now.

We had a cat for 14 years and he never got on the table or counters.
He could scale our 6' fence so I know he could have jumped on the counters if he wanted to. I guess he just wasn't curious enough to try. We have cameras set up to watch when we're not at home.

We once had a poodle like that. She got where we couldn't leave her at a kennel if we traveled because then she wouldn't eat. This was over 30 yrs ago. She was super-smart!

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.
6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, holding front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold cat's head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.
7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.
8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with its head just visible from below spouse's armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force cat's mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

“Henri, le Chat Noir: The Existential Musings of an Angst-Filled Cat” is now a book by Will Braden. . .
Henri can be found in his YouTube videos, sharing his cynical observations of his world.
Videos of Henri capture him in various situations that cause him much angst or ennui — like going to the vet or witnessing a Halloween party. Then there is the “other” cat he must endure in the same house. Henri thinks of that cat as “The Imbecile” — that word sounds perfect in French. . .
You hear Henri’s thoughts as voiceovers in (subtitled) French which makes the videos even funnier. Henri sounds so aloof and put upon. (I don’t speak French and I think Henri is from Seattle, but French is perfect for angst-ridden Henri’s thoughts.)
Henri is disgusted by his owner — who does not own a tuxedo. Henri is, of course, a tuxedo cat.
If you need a laugh this morning, find Henri the Existential Cat with a search that will take you to his videos on YouTube.

PS: I was trying to title this post “What is that cat thinking?” but I bumped submit, too soon, accidentally causing that dangling ‘what’ that cannot be edited.

Cats are all that and no bag of poo for you!
-they don't bark
-no need for a human walker with a 100' lead so the dog can get all up in your yard.
-no need to mark every lawn
-non biters
-can't see em or know they exist
-eat mice
-eat small anything that moves or at least bats it into submission
-can be left alone forever- they don't need anyone basically.
Who wants a cat?
MEOW
Forget this on list.
The prowl, they crap in neighborhood flower beds, they don’t bark so they get break, the kill hundreds of song birds, the kill baby rabbits.

Dogs will love you unconditionally, cats could not care less. If cats could text you back, they wouldn’t.

You are confusing feral cats and pet cats. Domestic cats, if let outside (not a good idea) generally kill weak and diseased rodents and birds. The feral cats help curb rat and rabbit populations.
If dogs were left to be feral they will pack together and attack humans. I could tell you stories about what I saw dogs eating in Iraq (it's what you think).

Agree, but not all house cats are not kept in house only. See plenty prowling at nights with little collars on. How many feral dogs do you see around squares? That would be none. How may feral cats see around squares….
I disagree that house cats only kill diseased birds and rodents.

Feral cats eat what they kill. House cats kill but seldom eat their kill. As for killing mostly weak or deseased, that is a canine trait, seen in wolves pack hunting separating the old, young, sick or weak. Wild cats hunt by themselves and kill what ever they can to survive.
House cats do pose a threat to wild life when they are out and about, doing what cats do, hunt and kill. They are not bad, it is their .

Someone / anyone grousing about a cat / dog reducing the wildlife population should take a walk along Corbin Trail and count the gators.

We have never allowed any of our cats outside. If you see a cat out and about with a collar take a pic, most likely lost.
Our 4 pound declawed Himalayan wouldn’t make it outside. Has zero skills to hunt, track, or play with a toy.
She does beg, sit up, and comes when you whistle. Sits at the door when she hears the garage door open waiting for you. She is so tiny jumping on our bed is out of the question. Just turned 11, still looks like a kitten.

Alligators need to eat, too. If house pets reduce the items on natures buffet, then don't be upset if the gator invites "fluffy" for dinner.
