Twelve Batmans posted:All my neighbors have dogs and usually in the mornings when I'm out walking mine we'll run into each other and then our dogs get to run into each other and be happy and socialize and it looks like they're having a real great time. Basically I've never seeing a similar situation with cats. They are all sweet and friendly animals. I'm sorry you live in a ghetto and are too much of a coward to confront your neighbors. The neighbour's idea of dealing with that is to baby-talk to the dog saying 'No barking~!' before they leave. As you can guess it doesn't help. Suburbs are worse than the ghetto sometimes. esperterra posted:10000%, people who think cats are no effort pets don't get it. training your cat ends up with a. a cat who behaves and b. a happy cat who loving loves you b/c you've bonded with them on a level where they're fine communicating with you Plenty of dog owners are just as bad about this and treat them as fun toys that you can put away in the backyard when you're done.

Owning a pet is an inherently abusive act imo. unless it's like a goldfish or tarantula or something.

My favorite way to selectively breed cats is to shoot the ones that come into my yard.

Basically, what I'm getting from this thread is untrained animals suck, and trained ones don't. Good job goons, we figured it out!

The claw on a cat isn't equivalent to the fingernail on us - it's more similar to the furthest knuckle out on your finger and everything past it, that's what gets cut off when declawing is done. It'd basically be like removing the ends of your fingers. Genetically clawless cats would probably be the same, it'd just be like being born with parts of your hands missing.

These threads (and encounters with people in real life) always bother me, when you get the people that like dogs but don't like cats. Because they're never just "Ugh, cats suck, dogs are way better", they always go psycho like "Dogs are way better, cats SHOULD ALL BE KILLED loving DISGUSTING FREAKS" It's really weird, like calm down man, cats aren't going to replace dogs, don't worry

Though I have met people afraid of one or the other for various reasons. Personally I just think it's just funny with mess with people who get some weird identity built around the animal they own. Cats and dogs are actually both good and fine and it's especially nice when they're raised together to be friends.

I've had people actually want to start a physical fight with me because I like cats, and people accuse me of being gay because I was single with a cat instead of a dog(even after explaining that would be cruel in a tiny apartment with no place for the dog to go outside). Then again I'm really biased, as I live in southern California near the border, so there's this weirdly desperate macho culture around here, although it's better in recent years

Dogs are, as far as I can tell, kind of a creepy substitute for people who can't have/don't want children. Basically similar levels of commitment. Anyone who refers to themselves as their pets mom or dad is all the way hosed up though. The animal is an animal, no matter how badly you want to anthropomorphize it and it has a mother and father already. Weird poo poo.

I'm ashamed to admit that I jokingly refer to my kitten as my "son" sometimes, but in my defense he thinks he is, he tries to nurse on my shirt when it's bedtime I'm probably garbage though

My cat gets to go outside for an hour or so every day and he never leaves the backyard. He has no interest in doing anything but chilling in the garden or eating grass. Then he comes back in at the same time, by his own choosing. I open my kitchen door and he strolls in. If anyone enters the yard or opens the gate he'll retreat to the house. Does anyone else have a cool and trustworthy cat?

All I can imagine now is that episode of Monk where he runs into the inventor that creates square-shaped watermelons, which in turn reduces shipping costs.
