OT: men with cats

That's no a concern for me, it's the same reason why I've never owned a gun, as has nobody in my immediate family ever. I'm not against guns, but really owning one never crossed my mind, and Nobody has ever tried to get into my home, it's never happened not even once, I'm not trembling in fear of home invasion like most of you. LMFAO, But my cats do make noise when the hear sounds.
Who’s trembling?
I have two dogs, both females. That's another thing I never understood, like male dogs are more masculine to own than female. My dogs are pretty much hilarious in everything they do.
My dog is a girl too. Rescued.

My dogs have ripped apart more snakes than I care to count. Small greenies.

But not this one...the head was already in the building.

This was on the side of one of the storage sheds I had propped open for the dogs to go in and out as they pleased..

After the pic I had to grab it and throw it out of the yard.
My big pup was nose to nose with a similar sized one a few years ago,had the snake backed into the corner of the fence until I called him off. All 20 pounds of him.

We have a cat. Had the best dog ever until he passed. Will not have another because we would compare every dog to him. Springer Spaniel who once dove into Edinboro lake and came up with a fish. Our cat keeps our house and the neighbors yards mouse and chipmunk free.

It seems some dog owners feel it is their right to let their dogs use other peoples lawns as toilets.

Hard to travel when you have any kind of pet.

Not when you have cats, we've left giant bowls of food and water in every room and gone away for as much as a week, and they had no problem living on their own. when we've gone away for 2-3 weeks, we've just had someone check on them once a week, they know how to live on their own for that much time.

We live on a private Lane that is a great place to walk. You can't imagine how irresponsible dog owners are. At one point the five of us back here were going to mount a camera to track it. It's so gross.

Yikes - our cats would die. They need humans 1x/day.
 
Cats are OK only when properly controlled.

Oh my...speaking of gross. I have two labs. My fenced in back yard is pretty good sized but....if anyone has had dogs, they know that they tend to have favorite spots. And my dogs eat well/poop well. Since the snow and all of this, I can't see most of it, so I can't do anything right now. With the weather forecast over the next week, I don't know when it will be cleared up. It is going to be an absolute mess. So I guess this scores one for the kitties, but I still would take a dog every day of the week.

Our's do OK, but you can tell they are pissed, They look at you like "where the hell have you been?'' then run away mad, but they get over it in a day or two, :)
 
FWIW - obviously not dating, but I instantly like any man that's secure enough to own a cat, given the silly reputation that men should own dogs not cats. They're great pets and anyone who thinks they aren't obviously has never owned one.

I'm a huge animal lover - dogs, cats, birds, etc. and they're obviously all different, so I get a bit salty about this subject.

As usual JMO.
I've been owned by cats for 31 years. Love them, their quirks and all. IMO, defensive football players should watch cats to observe their incredible powers of concentration. Talk about being "locked in" on a ball or mouse..... Love dogs, too, but I am allergic to most breeds so owning one is out.

Truth.

I've owned both dogs and cats and adore them equally. I just think cats get a bad rap - certainly different than dogs, but they're very affectionate and also very funny.

Must be the way these species do the mental Calculus of Obedience. A dog cheerfully buys into the three-squares-warm-bed-follow-you-anywhere paradigm. A dog leaves it all on the field (or front yard) so to speak. A dog's loyalty is solid gold.

Cats hold back a little. Or give off a sense of entitlement. "You might own me, but you don't OWN me." If you find that endearing, you're a cat person.
 
Or Gerbils! See Rod Stewart, he was a big Gerbil owner
Here's a fun fact. My son hit Rod Stewart's (and Rachel Hunter's) son. Liam Stewart played in the NZIHL two years ago. My son was playing as a 16 year old developmental player. He was getting the odd shift now and then at that point in the season. Stewart was a grown man who play for the UK national team and in the WHL. He told me pregame that if he got on the ice with Stewart, that he was going to hit him. Sure enough late in the game they were both out there. Stewart got the puck along the boards and Adam just beelined right to him. He launched into Stewart, and bounced right off onto his arse. Don't think Stewart even noticed. While on his rear, he did sweep the puck away so there is that. Proud dad moment.

Liam Stewart is a good hockey player and a funny guy. Very popular with both teammates and opponents.

Anytime someone mentions Rod Stewart or Rachel Hunter I feel obligated to mention that story.

I know his son Sean is always having his dad bail him out of shit, but he is from his first marriage I believe

So Souf, I understand you live in the city proper (if I am wrong please forgive me). Your response leads me to believe you have to clean up dog shit near your sidewalk. I am in the East end, and it is becoming a weekly occurrence, and trending more often. Do you deal with the same shit.... so to speak? Also, do some dog walkers scoop up their dog shit in a bag and leave it in your yard for you? Or is this an East end thing only?
 
This is a Dog guy.

I can only go by what my wife says...... she loves cats, but never would have dated me if I had cats of my own.

I didn't have the good looking thing going for me either. But apparently ugly men owning cats is a deal breaker for her.

If you want to pick up chicks, own a horse. Of course at that price point it is probably cheaper to just rent them (the women).
