Haven't found one of Gandalf yet.

But here's one of Pippin and Gimli violating Food Hygiene regulations in our kitchen.

I've got three cats: Max, Bear, and Rusty. Max is Bear's mother, but for some reason she's terrified of him and always runs away from him. My dad thought Bear looked like a grizzly the first time he saw him, so I named him Bear because of that. I think Bear is friendlier than most dogs. My grandma named Rusty, because his fur looks like rust. Rusty is an outdoor cat, and he is a plague to all of the little rodents and birds of my neighborhood. He's the kind of cat that'll rip your face off if you try to pet him. I used to have pictures of all three, but I have no idea where they disappeared to.

Hah, cute cats Green Gandalf. I have a cat, his name is Joseph, he's very smart for a cat.. or that's what i think. He meows at the door when he want's to go outside, then he meows next to my window when he wants to get in, if i don't respond he will try other sides of the house untill someone lets him in He often meows in front of my door when he wants me to go play with him, he likes it when i throw a ball or something and he'll go and grab it with his mouth and bring it back. He doesn't dislike water for some reason. Oh and he gets very angry if he doesn't get what he wants, if he meows and gets no response he will put his paws on my feet, if then he gets no attention he bites me

My sister has a cat that opens doors. Fully closed doors. The cat just jumps up on the door handles and does its magic. Noone taught the cat to do that.

Well, in the past I have had at least, 10 cats. Most of them were road kill and one of them had this unfortunate, microwave accident... Let's just say, that kitty isn't wet anymore...

Or simply explode, given how a microwave works. A woman once put a dog in a microwave to dry it off and the dog obviously died, so she sued the company for not warning her.


As for cats, this is perhaps where it gets embarrassing for me, because we have loads, but we love in the countryside, so they love the freedom, but don't worry, we take good care of them, even if there are loads. We've had some die either because of running in front of traffic or sadly, rat poison left out by the farmer (despite our cats helping get rid of the rats)

I'll try naming them all.

1.Loopy, 2.Plod, 3.Snowy, 4.Snowball, 5.Reubens, 6.Dali, 7.Barney, 8.Einstein, 9.Zack, 10.Dylan, 11.Merlot, 12.Tia, 13.Maia, 14.Fluffy, 15.Woof, 16.Bagsy, 17.Lucky, 18.Yoshi, 19.Toby, 20.Amber, 21.Rembrant, 22.Rusty

22 cats, they're never in all at the same time, but they cost a lot to feed, but we look after them well - even somebody called the RSPCA thinking having too many cats is bad, but they were satisfied. All of them have been neutered, except Toby and Woof. And yes, we called a cat Woof. We also named a few after alcoholic drinks, like Merlot and Tia (after Tia Maria), we used to have Baileys and Guinness. Dali and Rembrant we after the artists, Dylan because of Dylan from The Magic Roundabout and Zack after Zack Wylde, frontman to Black Label Society.

I'll see if I can dig out any pictures:

This is Maia (she is perhaps one of the craziest cats you'll ever see. She has a strange imagination and finds the weirdest things fun, she'll even jump onto your back and then start rolling round like a loony):



And Merlot with Snowy (as a kitten) sleeping on top of her. (Merlot is actually Maia's daughter and she too is very insane and has a strange imagination. She is very intelligent as well and sometimes purposefully gets a reaction out of you)

@ Green Gandalf your cats look very much like these.

http://www.scottishwildcats.co.uk/

The Scottish Wild cats will be bigger and much fiercer. They are genetically different from domestic cats (which are all descended from the Egyptian wild cats) and are highly endangered, only about 400 Left scattered around the north of Scotland, when they used to cover the whole of the UK.

To try and put that in perspective there are 3000 Komodo dragons, 6000 blue whales, 50000 Asian elephants, 2400 Black rhino, 1000 Hawaiian monk seal, 2000 Florida manatee, 4000 tigers, 2500 giant pandas, 20000 polar bears. (Stats taken from various sources around the internet)

It’s thought that in 10 years the Scottish Wild cat could be extinct. I find it inconceivable that the UK who spend so much time and resources in conservation around the globe would let its own wildlife get in such a state.

I used to have a cat... Called her "Pufuletz"(aka "Fluffy")! She was one bad cat, let me tell you that! To be honest, she was more of a "dog", on how she acted! Heck, even the neighbour's dog was scared of her! A massive beats, really fat! She could belly slam you to death! Pufuletz looked like a biigg ball, and all she did was just lye around, "miao-ning", sleeping, or eating. I miss that cat

Haha, i forgot to mention something about that, our cat was always locked in the kitchen at night, then one day he taught himself how to push the little button on the door that opens the kitchen doors (not a regular door) and he always got out, so now he doesn't get locked up anymore at night And another funny thing i forgot to mention, he will sit in front of the refridgerator for hours meowing if he's unhappy with the food in his bowl (wich is more often than not very good food such as fish or shrimps)

My cat opens the bathroom door when I take a bath or a shower! Really. It just happened last night. Dunno where he learned how to do it.

Why is this relevant? Sure, dogs contribute more than cats to Humans, but this doesn't make them better. A calculator is probably more useful than a dog but that alone doesn't mean anything.

If you use more tenable methods of comparison across a wide field of aspects then you'll clearly see that cats are superior. The most obvious reason for this is because domesticated dogs practically rely on Humans: if you don't feed your dog it'll starve, if you don't walk it it'll get fat etc. Cats on the other hand have brains and do these things themselves if you ever forget so that alone puts them above dogs. If this alone isn't enough then just look at nature, there are many types of big cats and probably all of them could totally own all members of the Canidae family so again, cats > dogs.

So if you consider lemmings to be useful then by all means, dogs rock, but for everything else that counts, cats!

Good luck. I keep him locked up in an air-tight safe with 41 reinforced solid steel layers protecting him. I keep him there 362 days a year. Btw he is 6 years old. He looks that way because sometimes I forget the combination on his safe and forget to feed him, preventing his growth...Might be lack of oxygen too.

WARNING: DO NOT PLACE PETS INSIDE ANY KIND OF AIRTIGHT COMPARTMENT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. WILL CAUSE EATING DISORDERS, BUTTER CRAVINGS, UNDERDEVELOPED BODIES, AND EXTREME CUTENESS IN THE PET.

You know, my friend has a cat (his name is Butterball), and that stupid thing comes in at 10:30 in the morning, mieous at you, eats his food, and gets the hell out of there until the next morning. If you try to pat it, it hisses. All that cat wants from you is food. If I had a cat like that, I would shoot it or send it to a laboritory...

Quote: "Atleast my dog cares about me. THIS alone surely means dogs > cats! Evul cats only use humans to get food. How is this any good?"


They don't care about you as such, they are just mindless drones that are merely taught what to do at any given situation; they rely on you. If a cat doesn't like you then it will happily run off and catch its own food, walk itself, dispose of its own poop and many other things. If your cat likes you then it'll allow you to pet it and it'll sit on your lap, these are things you must earn from the cat. Thus building a relationship with a cat takes time and patience, by this token I could compare a dog to a prostitute.

My cats get excited when we come home, some come up to greet us. Fluffy and Merlot, when you've been away for a while get the grumps with you and they, and Dali all come up to give you sympathy when you're sad.

That's more 'caring' than dogs that don't even wash properly.
