Exactly.

We get visited by lots of cats, all of whom are very loveable and friendly and willing to chase pieces of grass. They are the perfect antidote to a shitty day.

[Pookie]

Sorry, I've never been a big fan of cats.

But last night we spent a couple of hours trying to protect fledgling blackbirds from the bastard cat that lives next door. He ended up killing four of them, despite our best efforts.

[sonicl]

Well blackbirds are far more useless than cats.

Unless you're a piemaker, of course.

[Pookie]

Blackbirds make the most beautiful sound, and we've been watching the fledglings since they were born.

They can't fly when they leave the nest, so they're easy prey for useless domestic animals.

It's not the same as if an animal took them for food. Cats just kill them.

Cats are not as clever as dogs, despite the cartoon propaganda that portrays the dog in a negative light.
I can talk to my dog and he understands me. Cats, do not understand or do not reserve time to bother to even try to understand.

[Cantankerous]

my cats are quite clever. i just really don't like dogs. they smell horrible, their saliva (unlike that of a cat, who have specific enzymes in their mouths) is unsanitary AND they feel the need to slobber all over your couch and lick your face, they piss in the house, they bark for no particular reason, chew up your furniture, tear up your wood floors...
i do like welsh corgis though.

People always say that about cats, but nobody can tell me why that's supposed to be a good thing.

I like dogs. If I go into a house and there's a cat and a dog there, I'll always make a fuss of the dog first.

[Pookie]

[jon boy]

Of all people, I knew Nefeli would talk sense.

i also think weiner dogs are cute.
once i held a chihuahua and it was so warm and cuddly and it was trembling and i wanted to snuggle it in a reassuring way but i wasn't quite sure how to go about it.
