Edge Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I honestly like cats and envy their hunting abilities. It's just that dogs give back sooooo much more. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted September 8, 2016 If I could throw some food and water at a dog and leave it home alone for a weekend I might be impressed...and I've never seen one trained to do their business anywhere but "outside"...even hitting a newspaper is questionable. That said...I've come closer to killing my cat than any dog. Especially if it decides to clamp onto my leg in the dark again... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I've been a German shepherd guy my whole life and will never be without one (or two). I used to hate cats with a passion and then my wife talked me into rescuing a kitten that had been dumped in the desert at 6 weeks old. That kitten had such an attitude and chip on her shoulders, I couldn't help but fall for her. She was aptly named Spazz because she used to wait in the doorway of a room in our apartment and ambush our ankles/legs as we walked by. She's also held her own against four total German shepherds, including being best buds with our old female. A couple of years ago, our new young male and newly adopted female decided to gang up on her and come in from different angles. Both of those big, tough GSDs ran out of the room with their tails tucked between their legs and a "WTF just happened?" look on their faces. Both cats and dogs bring something special to the family in our house, but I'll never be without my GSDs. And I never get tired of seeing that video, PRDATR! Some dogs just need their butts whipped! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeke-BE Report post Posted September 8, 2016 Very few cool cats out there. I grew up with a chilled cat, watched her hunt birds, scared off a german shepherd out of the back yard, and watched her beat the crap out of a couple of white fluffy cats. Other than that I really don't care for cats, I would take a dog if I had land, but hate the smell of them (short hairs for me). I just prefer no pets!

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 9, 2016 I go thru a lot of cats. Some I miss, some I barely knew were there. Cats are almost essential where I'm at. They kill! And kill at times I'm sleeping. I always to have one or two around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, our cats own the dogs; shepherd's, boxers, Heeler, but if it weren't for us masters the cats would be devoured. Most of our 50 some critters came to us by way of rescue. All the dogs, cats chickens a couple horses and a mule too. One of the cats, a Siamese was rescued after being dumped in a mall parking lot a decade ago on Christmas Eve. So of course the ol lady named him Mr Jingle's. He's circling the drain these days so I'm already hearing about a feral kitten at her work place. God help me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
