Cats are:

usually quiet
very independent
fierce hunters
stealthy
curious
adventurous
don't like to be bothered
hate humanity

See any similarities?

Needless to say, I fucking love cats. But maybe that's just me...

I like any pet with an obvious personality. But I'm too preoccupied to take care of them half the time. I think a cat would probably be my ideal pet.

Being the temporary home for two dogs is fun, but I sometimes think I'm not attentive enough for their clingy nature.

TalkingAnimals! The guy who's making this is amazing.
I like this video, mwahaha:



Or this one - the first time I got a really creepy vibe from a cat:

(made in Japan of course. The masters of horror movies with no sounds.)

I love cats, hugely.

I love cats! used to own one til i found out i am major allergic to the dust that he collected while sleeping in god knows where. Had to give him away to my parents in the summer house. Sad day :/

Ugh! Fucking cats! Everywhere you look on the goddamned internet there's a fucking cat doing this or a cat doing that.

I loathe the little shit-pawed monsters.

You have to scoop up their liquid fecal matter into a bag and haul it outside. "Oh, but it clumps!" You're fucking sad and will die alone with your cats.

You can't roughhouse with them like you can with a dog. "But look at the way he chases a feather around". Not only will you die alone with them, they'll gnaw your face off when they get hungry.

How a straight man calls his dog "DUKE, get your fucking ass over here before I kick it!" How a "straight" man calls his cat "Snoookums, come here princess, daddy has a chicken snack!" Put your nuts in a vice Nancy and join Broadway like you always wanted to.

Yum! Nothing like enjoying some bacon and eggs while the little shitty pawed mouser hacks a yard long hairball up at your feet.

And I don't know if it's because the little fucks know I hate them, but every time I sleep over at some girls house who has a cat, the little fucker always ends up asleep on my face. But I'll tolerate one kind of pussy in exchange for the other!

And nothing says clean fresh smelling house like a cat-pissed on sofa! Ummm! My eyes are watering just thinking about it!

Goddamned cats!

If I were to get a pet, it would be a cat. I love dogs too, but they're too much work to own.

I just have to say that I was a cat in a past life, I'm pretty sure. We even share that same blank facial expression. It's like the "I dare you to give a fuck" expression. It drives my mom mad (funny side note: she can't STAND cats).

The bengal takes it another level, often having that look I recognize so often coming from myself: That 'WTF is Wrong With You/Are You Really Going to Continue Being That Stupid?' look of disdainful inquiry.

briesas (I'm too stupid to get the mention tags to work): Yeah, they're incredibly athletic perpetual kittens. And too smart. And too interactive. It's really like having a furry toddler around the house... one that can leap on top of the fridge, anyway. And the constant mrows, trills, chirps, etc. "Hey dad I was goin in the bathroom an I sawed a mouse an it was all squeak an then I chaseded it an it ran but I'm fast an I caught it an it got scarded an I batted at it an it ran away again but I's too fast an it..."

There is this creepy neighbourhood cat which will walk right up to you and rub itself against your legs until you pet it - it will then start trying to follow you home, deliberately walking in your path so you stop and give it another pet :/

Cats are manipulative. Dogs are stupid. I prefer birds.

Dogs are stupid.
Regardless of whether this is true of some dogs, people still don't fuck with the person at the park walking a healthy adult Alsatian.
The Alsatian living with us now has deterred what could have been several robberies. The nature of where we live attracts a few curious cat burglars every couple of months, and a house alarm isn't quite in the budget.

Used to be a dog person for years (still kinda am) but once I got my cat last summer, I've switched. He's like a small dog in a way. You can play fetch with him even. On the plus side, he doesn't shed. But he does lick his own balls just like any dog.

I like dogs and cats but dogs are too much work. I like dogs in a family setting, but when I'm living on my own, like I currently am, I am not capable of giving one all the attention it would need. I've thought about getting a cat, and I might if I move into a bigger apartment, but then I realize my roommate is basically a cat and I really don't need another right now.

Cat Small to medium-sized cats Felidae Whiskers Carnivore


That's our cat when we first took her in from the streets. Since then, through the gracious hospitality of my ISTP, she's had flour sprinkled on her, baloney tied to her tail, gotten up close & personal with jalapenos, onions and paint, and had a little taste of everything we eat (that is she has no choice but to clean it off of herself). To my ISTP's utter astonishment, she overwhelmingly preferred her can of Friskies to the bit of wild-caught salmon he offered. I have never seen him more offended. I think he was actually kind of hurt.

She's an awesome mouser and roacher. They *never* stand a whiff of a chance with her. She keeps our household from descending into apocalyptic chaos.

What's going on in the background there?

And LOL to the salmon!

yuck, cats. I don't enjoy being scratched, bitten, ignored and generally being treated like shit until they want something from me (like, attention but ONLY on their terms, or food).

I have enough of these characteristics in myself that I don't need to see it in any one else.
