Cats have been touted at times as the "ultimate killing machine." Found on ( www.earthlife.net/): Cats are the essential hunters, their combination of power, speed and patience make them the ultimate killers, at least as far as terrestrial animals are concerned. As hunters ourselves we have always admired them and the freedom of their individuality. Cats are the most purely carnivorous of all the mammals. An adult domestic cat requires a minimum of 12% protein in its diet, whereas an adult domestic dog can survive quite well on a diet that contains only 4% protein. An insightful quote about cats: Cats don't bark and act brave when they see something small in fur or feathers - they kill it. - James Gorman Found on ( www.australasia.isan.org/): Cats - arguably the most powerful of all predators - are sleek, elegant and truly built for the kill. All felines, from the domestic 'moggy' to the Siberian tiger, belong to the same family and the basic cat design is extremely successful. But within this fascinating group there are clear differences in killing style. These variations on the classic pattern mean that each of the cats is built to be the ultimate killer on their particular block. Go buy your dogs some cornmeal... And hope there are no hungry cats nearby! ;D

First of all, I like dogs more than I do cats! Yes, we have a cat that brings comfort in certain times when you just like affection; HOWEVER, I would prefer the dog's affection over a cats' anyday!
A CAT is nothing more than an independent, self-righteous, "damned-if-I-will", beast just wanting to be pampered and will not come to you EVERY time you call them. A DOG on the other hand, will come to you even if it is in severe pain from arthritis (my old dog I had) and will do anything it can to make sure you are happy, whether it is drooling on you or not.
A cat will INDEED, for the most part, fend for itself and will survive, where a dog will flat-out starve to death.
Although both animals will eventually tear up your furniture, a dog will remember after his discipline not to do it again, BUT a cat will do it again and again... running away laughing while sphinkting in your direction. I have a quick remedy for that though...
A dog barks when someone drives up, because it is their JOB! A cat will go under the couch and wait for the chaos, whatever it may be, to end, then lick themselves in places only a few other armwrestlers I know wish they could lick...

Dogs HAVE to come with you if you can't find a kennel or pet-sitter! Come on now Bob, when was the last time you left your cats alone for more than one day? Last time I went to a tourney with you, you tried to convince me that they should come as good luck - I know what was really going on!

Allen: dog's lick there too, as well as other places, in addition to drinking out of the toilet. And THEN they lick your face! I didn't realize you liked it that way! Must be a Southern THANG! Hi Allen!

So what you are saying is that we should ban pitbulls and cats? Ok. Not many domestic housecats in the news for chomping on 5 year olds... I say ban pitbulls because they're just too ugly. Now, you wanna see a cool dog? Check out borzoi: www.britannica.com/eb/art/print?id=4599&articleTypeId=0. Borzoi, aka Russian Wolfhound. My sister-in-law breeds them. Very cool dogs. Faster than Corey Miller, more powerful than Chris Chandler. And Allen, they'll even lick your face without your having to crouch down...

Hi Allen! Hi Allen! ;D No, it must be a BOB thang! I didn't say anything about licking one in the face after they lick themselves. The affection I am speaking of is the one a dog will give, unconditionally. A cat does not and WILL not give the same affection (laying in your lap or by your side) if it deems it doesn't want to. My point is, no amount of training you give a cat, it will do only what IT wants to do when it wants to do it. BTW, you know full well a cat drinks from the toilet bowl as well. The funny part is, more often than not the CAT will fall into the toilet and track it all over your house afterwards and by you caressing it saying, "Awe, you poor wittle titty-tat, you got all wet. Let Daddy Bobby-Wobby take care of that for you..." A dog's lick is more sanitary than a cat's. I don't like for either one to lick anyone for I know what they like to eat... Hi BOBs!!!!

Nope, defiance against the one who feeds and houses it. Would you really call that intellect? I guess if it is done to you you would surmise it a wise ole cat and worship the cat-litter littered paws by dabbing them with Egyptian cloth? ;D I don't like for either one to lick anyone for I know what they like to eat... A few too many encounters with coprophagic dog breath, Allen??? No, I just know what they eat and it isn't strawberry shortcake either. You on the other hand would let your cat lick the milk from your cereal bowl while you're still eating from it, just because you love the cat. Awww...so appropriate. I understand though, your soft side demands that type of nurturing; maybe Bob P. or his cats can help sanction it? Hi Bobs!

Now Mr. Hester, I pretty much agree with darn near everything you write(great minds must think alike:)) However I can't agree with this FALSE statement. My cats will lay on me until I move, and then they will just come back when they see I'm done moving around. That whole dog's mouth being clean deal, maybe just another urban myth? Don't let any cats sleep on you at night, they may suck the air from your lungs ::)LOL. Oh, and one more thing. Do you guys who say cats are not affectionate ever think that maybe they just don't like you? Maybe dogs are just too stupid to dislike you
