Cats or Dogs?

Well I'm sure whomever Mr. A Lincoln or Mr. R Nixon are that they will understand there votes being cast aside.

By the way L., The cat world lost one of it's larger realatives today. The police in MN had to euthanize a Mountain Lion that was hangign around residential neighborhoods who had apparently lost all fear of humans and was confronting people. They suspect it was rabid. Too bad to say the least.

was that the one that was sighted down in the south metro, luv? that they got the pics of with the motion detector attached to the camera

They're not sure if it's the same one, they suspect there are more than one roaming around but it could be. That thing was big.

Oh, how sad, and what a loss. :(

They've found some rabid skunks around here this year.

Hey! That cat is ADORABLE and don't you forget it! This one might be more to your taste, though. :)

P.S. What about Colette, E.A. Poe and da Vinci? Don't their votes count????

There is a new cat featured every day. And just to show there are no hard feelings, here's one for Luv2Fly:

Let me state here and now that dead people can't and don't vote.

thank god you clarified that :)

however, in honor of luv bring up presidential pets, i seem to recall a cat named socks living in the white house. of course there was the dog named buddy too, but i don't think he counts.

Tell that one to Richard M. Daley.

And why would Buddy not count?

because i like cats better than dogs, of course. :)

Thanks for the pic L. Although I must admit that although greyhounds are lovable creatures and very good pets, they are nonetheless ugly as sin. But they are damn quick. One of the neighbors who lives near me has one and he roams around to get petted and fed. She's a really nice dog and I must say the rabbit population seems to have mysteriously dropped off a bit :>0

I happened to like that one because I'm strongly in favor of pet rescue work, which made the greyhound beautiful to me because it was alive. :)

Good point L. :)

Take care! :)

You too L. Lionne Take care

Cats.....So full of hatred :(

They're very good with ketchup, in fact! ;)

ccom!

ccom!

Definition, please!

sorry. that's an acronym long-understood by most of the cooler crew.

cleaning
coke
off
monitor

i'm gonna have to be careful when i get me a laptop :)

I'm getting there! :)

well, considering i'm the one that coined it, its not in popular use. of course the other one was that someone else used was gggl, you fill in the l: gonna go get l____

we were all chastised for thinking it was something other than lunch. of course since the topic of the week was sex....

:)

Which does not, of course, excuse his unreasonable and illogical preference for dogs.

But my first pet (from when I was 2) was a cat, and cats have been a constant since then. :)

exactly, l. i wouldn't get a dog unless it was a dog; one that could say, stand up and put its front paws on your shoulders when you got home. and its just not fair to a dog that size to keep it in the city (or on most suburban lots these days either)

I am so very sorry Ian :(

I guess your opinion is valid.

Of course. ALL my opinons are valid. Just ask me! ;)

ares, we are partial to black labs and German shepherds. And we don't have a big enough lot for them to run (in a fenced area, of course) or at least we do, but a) it is mostly vertical, and b) over half of it is covered with water, so....

Get out your hankies!

oh, the fence won't stop a german shepherd anyway. the former neighbors had one before my brother bought the house, and cody would jump over the fence.

of course my brother's philosophy is to get a newfoundland, put it in the yard, and if it doesn't think it has enough room it'll move the fence.

Heh, newfies are big gorgeous lugs, aren't they? But...and here's another reason I vote for cats, the bigger the dog, the shorter its life. :(

Whereas, cats can live 18-20 years or more. I just can't take it every 7 years or so!

Another pro dog argument. I have never heard of a dog causing toxoplasmosis.

http://www.avma.org/care4pets/antoxo.htm

There are two populations at high risk for infection with Toxoplasma; pregnant women and immuno-deficient individuals. In the United States it is estimated that approximately 3,000 children are born infected with toxoplasmosis every year. Although the majority of infected infants show no symptoms of toxoplasmosis at birth, many are likely to develop signs of infection later in life. Loss of vision, mental retardation, loss of hearing, and death in severe cases, are the symptoms of toxoplasmosis in congenitally infected children. Ideally, women who are in frequent contact with cats should be serologically tested for Toxoplasma gondii before becoming pregnant, because, if they are already seropositive, they are not at risk of acquiring a primary, acute infection during pregnancy.

Everybody knows that cats steal babies' breath.

A German Shepherd just killed his owners' three-year-old today in Lincoln. Tore the toddler to pieces in less than two minutes.

It is an old wives tale. I was being silly, silly.

A vicious lie perpetrated by dog lovers!

And re the toxoplasmosis thing, the only way to get that is if you get cat feces in your mouth or if they come into contact with meat, and the meat is improperly cooked. Just how hard is it to avoid those two things, hmmmmm? Just consider it the feline species' contribution to natural selection. ;)

Two more votes for cats in fairness for this unwarranted attempt at slander! ;)

Dog mauls 4-year-old boy to death
