haha! And I thought the net was just for porn... This site is delightful! ^^ I wonder what it is about sinks that cats like. I mean, the shape may be comfy, but surely not the hard surface? |

Its just forumla: 1) ads for something to make money (in this case 'kittenwar' book or whatever the hell they're selling) + 2) some lame shitty viral community driven concept to get people to come look at the ad I want to get in this business but I don't know how to do internets. |

Cats have a penchant for finding comfort in the least comfortable places. I get a sore back from sleeping on too soft a mattress, whereas my cat will find a way to sleep soundly whilst straddling the 3"-wide back of a wooden chair. |

i fucking hate cats. like nietzsche said: "what do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?" dogs, however, they know love and loyalty. |

dogs are slaves, cats are free |

did you feed it shrooms again? |

dogs aren't slaves, they actually choose if they respect their owner. if your goal is having a 'free' pet, then you might as well get a boa constrictor and let it kill you. |

Hah. Cat's choose whether they respect their owners, too. Their standards just aren't lax as hell. |

If you want respect and loyalty without having to earn either, by all means get a dog. |

Also, in my experience, the majority of people just have no concept of how to approach any animal that isn't a dog. People assume you can push a cat onto its back and rub its belly the moment you meet it, and if you can't, then it's the cat's fault. Try approaching slowly, and without heavy foot-fall, but let the cat see you approach it. When you're near, slowly extend one hand to its face and let it grow accustomed to your scent. If it doesn't recoil away from you, slowly begin to pet it's head as GENTLY as you can, gradually working your way to the neck and back. Stay away from the butt or belly of any cat that doesn't know you really well, and progress from there. Most cats will eventually (some instantly) come around to this method. You have to keep in mind that cats have a much broader range of personalities than dogs. |

and by butt, I mean the lower back by the tail. I can't think of a reason you'd ever want/need to pet the actual anus of any animal. |

if you refuse to feed your cat at all, it'll run away. if you refuse to feed your dog, it'll stay beside you. why do you see homeless people with dogs and not cats? |

Would you not attempt to leave if someone held you against your will with no food? Basically, your argument is that dogs are better because they have no instinct of self-preservation. |
||||||||

that's what i'm saying: dog feels it must stay at your side. cat don't. |
||||||||

this all is a question of domestication and intelligence. no one can say a cat is more intelligent than a dog. sure, a pet is a pet. if it makes you feel good, who cares? but i'd rather have no self-preservation than self-preservation in a pet. this is getting circular: how can you love something that cannot love you? dogs can, cats can't. |

I still feel like you're missing what I'm saying. In fact, 10 years ago I may have been inclined to agree with you. I think it's a gross oversimplification to say that cats simply CAN'T love. My cat is so loyal and loving, it's almost sad. She follows me around the house, everywhere I go, and sleeps on me at night when I go to bed. There is no question in my mind that cats can "love," and that my cat "loves" me. And what is love, anyway? As you said, "if it makes you feel good, who cares?" |

p.s. they're both/all animals. you can't really judge for sure how they work. you can only specify your preferences. one prefers dogs, the other - cats and coming back to topic: cats in sinks espaciulley |

|
|
you're right. i don't know what love is. i'm drunk and i don't want to pursue this conversation any further. still: dogs > cats. i'm lost. |

I think the wise Obie has set us straight. Neither of us can say for sure what's going on in those fuzzy animal noggins, and there's really nothing wrong with preferring one over the other. :) |

i've already broken all the dreams i had. all that's left to break is myself. i'm working on it. |

damn don't say that, now I just feel bad. :/ |

haha.. it's my own fault, anyway. certainly not yours, or anyone else's. i love the feeling of collapsing. |
