Is it ok to hate cats and still be a gamer?

[Jondor_Battlehammer]

There is something inherently flawed in anyone who doesn't like cats.

I, for one, have been serving our feline overlords for three decades.

Well said, on both counts.

I must also contest anyone whom suggests dogs are smarter than cats. My sister has a dog that is quite smart. In trying to play fetch with him for the first time, he wouldn't bring the stick back to me, but run around trying to get me to chase him. So I grabbed another stick and alternated between them, as he would drop one to chase the other. This worked two, maybe three times until he just kept both sticks in his mouth.

Smart dog.

The same dog routinely gets mauled by a cat 1/10th his size. And is scared of the cat. The same cat that will place him self just inside the dog door, blocking him from coming in from the wet and cold. Cats are smart, and possible evil, or at least CN.

We also had two rats for a while (the first one was rescued)

From what?

Because I worry that one of my foolish cats will get in the dryer.

It's ok to be a gamer and not like Cats. It's just no NATURAL, though.....

There's an old saying, "Do you like boxes of **** in your house? Get a cat."

I don't hate cats, but my father and about anyone from Hawaii can see and not appreciate the damage they do when people let them out at night...

Stray cats will turn over your trashcans (If that is what you ment by damage). A housecat won't.

I do not own any animal right now. If I did, I like a dog.

[stereotype]
I don't mind people owning a cat, it's just the people I know that own several cats their homes stink to high-heaven. Thus, the more cats the smelliness of the home increases exponentially [I'd say n to the 50th power, 1 not smelly (average)].

We have a cat flap, a back yard, and cats who bury their poo like they're supposed to. If you keep cats inside with no out door access you'll have boxes of poo, but unless you live in flat/apartment there's no need for this; and cats seem a lot happier when they have outside access.

I hate cats. They are worthless self-loving creatures.
Dog is man's best friend!

* Assistance dogs which help the seeing and hearing-impaired. Others are trained to help those with epilepsy and psychiatric disorders, by detecting the onset of the condition so they can seek help. The typical assistance dog is a sociable breed such as a Labrador Retriever.
* The detection dog, which is a dog trained to and works at using its senses (almost always the sense of smell) to detect substances such as explosives or illegal drugs.
* Guard dogs trained to protect property. These are commonly Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds and Rottweilers or mixes of these breeds.
* Herding dogs trained to protect livestock in the range against predators. Sheepdogs are a common breed.
* Hunting dogs that search for and retrieve game. Pointers and retrievers are typical hunting breeds.
* Police dogs, typically German Shepherds, are trained to assist law enforcement officers.
* Rescue dogs that search for missing humans. The archetypal breeds are the St. Bernard and the Bloodhound, although any dog with a good sense of smell can be trained to perform this task.
* Therapy dogs, with friendly and gentle temperaments, trained to provide comfort and affection to hospitalized and institutionalized patients.
* The war dog, used by the military to detect mines and enemy soldiers.

Don't like cats but won't go out of my way to show it.

My roommates have cats. I've nothing against pets but I hate when one of the blasted things jumps on top of the table (dining or coffee) and they think its cute. Countertops are even worse.

As mentioned earlier, dogs require responsibility while cats don't require much more effort than a pet rock or at least a plant. Their cats seem to be dumber than a box of frozen peas but it could just be curiousity i.e. they've snooped around the dryer, fridge and yes, even the oven.

I've come real close to giving them a 9 mm lead supplement or just a nice refreshing bowl of antifreeze. Then again, they could 'accidently' fall into the dryer that 'accidently' turns on for 60 minutes.

"What? I put in a Bounce sheet so their fur would be all soft n static free."

I don't know too many playtpuses (or is that platypi?) except for one by the name of Chris Wissel. Is that you Chris? If so, I can see why no one has been able to get hold of you. You've gone all atomic on us .

Of course, I could have the wrong playtpus, altogether. In that case, sorry and... carry on.
