Lazer pointer + ceiling fan + cat = hilarious.

Fixed your maths.

While dogs can be just as annoying as cats when it comes to having company over, only a cat knows just the right moment to strut into the middle of a room...flop on the ground and shoot that one leg in the air...and clean its posterior region for about 20 minutes. Awkward silences all around.

Not that the eventual dog ass dragging race isnt freaking hilarious when the inlaws come to visit.....

Doge person here, at least they show love and appreciation.

My daughter has a tortoise.

My cat caught a grey parrot once.

Just offered the damn thing to me while it was still wriggling, misplaced love but you know a Dog won't do something so selflessly while being smart enough to act in their self interest to that degree.

Throw a stick, and the servile dog wheezes and pants and stumbles to bring it to you. Do the same before a cat, and he will eye you with coolly polite and somewhat bored amusement. And just as inferior people prefer the inferior animal which scampers excitedly because someone else wants something, so do superior people respect the superior animal which lives its own life and knows that the puerile stick-throwings of alien bipeds are none of its business and beneath its notice.

The dog barks and begs and tumbles to amuse you when you crack the whip. That pleases a meekness-loving peasant who relishes a stimulus to his self importance. The cat, on the other hand, charms you into playing for its benefit when it wishes to be amused; making you rush about the room with a paper on a string when it feels like exercise, but refusing all your attempts to make it play when it is not in the humour.

Whip a dog and he licks your hand - frauth! The beast has no idea of himself except as an inferior part of an organism whereof you are the superior part -- he would no more think of striking back at you than you would think of pounding your own head when it punishes you with a headache.

But whip a cat and watch it glare and move backward hissing in outraged dignity and self-respect! One more blow, and it strikes you in return; for it is a gentleman and your equal, and will accept no infringement on its personality and body of privileges. It is only in your house anyway because it wishes to be, or perhaps even as a condescending favour to yourself. It is the house, not you, it likes; for philosophers realise that human beings are at best only minor adjuncts to scenery. Go one step too far, and it leaves you altogether. You have mistaken your relationship to it and imagined you are its master, and no real cat can tolerate that breach of good manners. Henceforward it will seek companions of greater discrimination and clearer perspective. Let anaemic persons who believe in "turning the other cheek" console themselves with cringing dogs -- for the robust pagan with the blood of Nordic twilights in his veins there is no beast like the cat; intrepid steed of Freya, who can boldly look even Thor and Odin full in the face and stare with great round eyes of undimmed yellow or green.


Part of a piece written by H.P Lovecraft.

I've always preferred cats to dogs. There are many reasons for this, such as the fact that cats are a LOT less hassle than dogs due to their independence and ability to take care of themselves. Cats also tend to be more cleanly and smell better. I also find that, in general, they're a lot smarter than dogs as well. As if these weren't enough, I'm also mildly allergic to dogs.

Although cats are much maligned for lack of loyalty, I've found that not to be the case. As an example, the cat my family had when I was growing up would mope around the house meowing and wondering where his human was every time I went off to summer camp.
