Do you hate cats?

Britain's favourite pet is a "detestable" creature, second only to rats according to a poll of gardeners.

Three hundred million wild birds and mammals are killed by domestic cats every year and their toilet habits in other people's gardens don't endear them to neighbours.

Yes, I think cats are overrated by far. Everyone who owns one is infected with a parasite, their house stinks (though every single owner will swear "My house is clean" and they don't realize that it stinks), and they have a creature that sheds hair everywhere. At least you can own a non-shedding dog.

My biggest gripe is people who let their animals - dogs or cats - run around loose and it seems that cat owners do that routinely. Even PETA says that cats should be kept in a home or under control so that they don't die from getting hit or catching a disease. My city/county has a cat leash law that I think is great.

[Dakar]

Don't give us the stink argument so long as you own dogs that you have to bathe.

[Cody Dawg]

What? Me no understand post that you left dogs bathe.



Dogs that I have or take care of go to the doggie beauty shop once a week and get a nice bath, quiet and calm, and have a great time. They come back smelling great. Try doing that with a cat.

[residentEvil]

yes, my kitty litter area stinks. i never say it doesn't. and for the most part, it is still confined to the basement where is litter is but, smell travels.

but, the shedding is under control as i got a short hair and keep him groomed. he sheds far less than any dog that has ever been in my house.

my cat is only an indoor cat; i don't trust anyone outside the house to be nice to a pet and i don't wish for him to be run over either.

my kitty is just fine, thank you very much.

Yeah and how great would they smell if they didn't get their little fancy schmancy baths?

[Cody Dawg]

residentEvil: So your cat lives in a basement for his entire life? Why?

Dakar: They point is that dogs CAN be bathed without a problem. Not cats. So people let their cats stink because it's a big deal to bathe them routinely.

where did i ever say he lives in the basement his entire life?

i said his kitty liter is in the basement. and he is an indoor cat.

"it" refers to the smell

[Cody Dawg]

So you admit that it smells?



THAT is the smell that I'm talking about - the putrid smell that hits your face and makes your eyes water when you walk into a cat owner's home.

Cats have a unique smell, but I've never detected it from just entering a house. Not like a dog.

The litter box on the other hand. You do need to be careful about that.

Edit: This thread alone may be the reason I reach 5000 today.

[Cody Dawg]

This guy really hates cats, but he points out that cat owners are even worse than cats:

Cats are evil, nasty, vile, disgusting, horrid creatures. And some of their owners are not far off. These cat-lovers, these sad lonely individuals who go into a pet store to buy cats, don't give a fig about how their decisions will affect other people or local wildlife. I hate cats. We need a government-led systematic mass extermination of these creatures. We could call it the Feline Solution.
Sandeep, UK

Dakar: That's exactly what I'm talking about...the "unique" smell (of piss) that cats have. I smell it every single time whether I walk into a cat owner's home or a pet shelter where the cat section is.

the kitty liter area smells, yes. the cat himself does not. i keep him clean.

the amonia smelling stentch that you dont' like is controlled in my house. an owner that keeps that area clean makes for a much better smelling home. it won't be perfect, but there is no eye watering here. your experience is from careless owners.

[Dakar]

Pet stores that carry just dogs reek too.

[Cody Dawg]

You THINK he doesn't smell. Trust me, he does.

Every single cat owner says that - I said it in the first post - so you're no different.

You would be wrong.

I don't live at my parents' house. They have a cat. I don't. THEIR HOUSE DOES NOT SMELL!!! Please stop making these BLATANTLY WRONG accusations. AND NOT ALL CATS ARE INFECTED WITH TOXOPLASMOSIS!

My parents have ALWAYS kept their cats indoors.

[Doofy]

I can honestly say I've never been out walking along the pavement (sidewalk) and stepped in cat crap. I cannot say the same about dog crap.

Plus, cats don't need washing. They have the intelligence to keep themselves clean. Unlike dogs. Who need gaying up at "doggie beauty shops".

And you don't read very well either; I said I keep him clean. He does not smell. Course, if I want to stick my face in his ass after taking a ****, sure...he smells.

But his coat is clean, shinny and free of stentch. If anything, his coat smells like downy cause he will curl up in my fresh laundry between the time i take out of the dryer and put it away. And oh, he smells of cat nip right now too; had an accident two nights ago

[Dakar]

Ah yes, the subject where me and Doofy agree. Warms the cockles of my heart it does. Or maybe thats the taco grande I had last night.

[Cody Dawg]

Oh, I've been out walking and smelled cat crap. I can smell the rank odor.

Yes, dog crap stinks too. Never said it didn't. Both dog owners and cat owners need to clean up after their pets. The truth is that you can have dog parks - try that with cats - and dogs can be taken to the park to play. At least they're smart enough to come back to you when called (usually).

Cats DO need washing but the problem is that even if you washed them they'd lick themselves and start smelling like a cat all over again. Ewwwww. Dogs are the same way. But you can wash a dog whenever you want. Not a cat.

Dogs usually like to go to the groomer. They enjoy it as much as some humans going to the salon themselves.

Some cat owners also let their cats run around loose (outside) which makes them bad pet owners.

[Dakar]

Somehow you're successfully making dogs come off as prissy and pretentious, something I don't think I can ever recall seeing done.

[starman]

Cody, seriously, where do you come up with this crap?

Cats smell? Oh, and dogs DON'T?

Next you'll be telling us that all those trip to the dog groomer makes their sh*t smell like Dolche & Gabanna.

I said "stepped in", not "smelled".

My cats come on a whistle. All I have to do is stand outside the back door, whistle and wait a minute.

My cats smell like new born babies. OK, new born babies who've been eating cat food, but new born babies all the same.

Yep. Mine are running around loose outside. Well, if you can call sitting on the window ledge looking in at me "running around loose".

That doesn't make me a bad pet owner.

Doofy: So you can take your cats to the park and let them loose out in the wide open and they will come back to you after running around for a while?



Anyway, what's wrong with having a small dog?

Like this one (he's on a chair I got for him so that he can look out the back to the gardens):

[Cody Dawg]

By the way, we don't have:

1. Seeing eye cats
2. DEA cats
3. Cancer detecting cats (through smell)
4. Cat-9 (vs. k9) officers
5. Guard cats
6. Agility cats
7. Tracking cats (vs. bloodhounds for example)
8. Hunting cats
9. Swimming rescue cats
10. Sled cats

[Doofy]

Technically, yes. I've never tried taking them to a park, since I have 100's of acres of fields (11 of them mine) just outside the front door which aren't filled with muggers, hypodermic needles and used condoms.

But I can stand anywhere on my property, look at one of the cats half a mile away and give a whistle. The cat's ears will perk up, s/he'll look in my direction and then come running as fast as possible. This works for all of them except Squeak, who doesn't go out anyways.

They smell bad and crap all over the place instead of making their own toilet facilities? And they don't purr. Everything should purr.

[starman]

By the way, we do have:

1) Dogs that attack people for no reason (personal experince)
2) Attack dogs
3) Dogs that sh*t in the park
4) Smelly dogs
5) Dogs that bark at night

[Y3a]

Dogs are larger and leave BIG piles of pupe everywhere. Dogs DO SMELL, and there ISN'T a non-shedding dog. ALL Animals shed. Even humans.

If you keep you cat litter in an area without lots of air moving all the time your house WON'T STINK. swap the litter every day, and scoop da pupe. Peoples houses that smell like cat pee have let th litter get too old and the cats have pee'd elsewhere. I hate giving my hound a bath every 6-8 weeks so everything it lays on won't smell like dog stink.

My cats ALWAYS ate less than the fat Basset does. My cats were more entertaining than my dog is.

I HATE walking the dog every damm day, rain or shine, in the bitter cold and the disgustingly hot summer days too. I have a hound, and IT likes to follow smells, and sniff everything. You almost have to drag the dog away. Cats will exercise themselves inside without coaxing.

A. I had a cat bite me last year - it was on my porch and bit me for no reason - which required 24 rabies shots because it could not be caught. (The owner was sued by my insurance company for $4800 for the costs associated with it and I never saw that cat again.)

B. #2 is redundant

C. Cats crap everywhere and their owners rarely clean it up

D. Cats cannot be bathed easily and dogs can

E. Cats howl and yowl and screech at night all of the time - especially when in heat

Get a better argument, starman.

[Y3a]

<< E. Cats howl and yowl and screech at night all of the time - especially when in heat >>

"ALL of the time" LOL!! You don't know WHAT you're talking about!

Baying is what dogs do when they hear a car horn, siren, or another dog down the block.

Cats DO NOT crap everywhere, and they DO cover it up, whereas your big stinky, drooly dawg Poops where it gets on the most lawns.

Do dogs relentlessly hunt mice? or catch insects? They do spend a lot of time hanging around being usless babies.

[Kevin]

Cats smell, dogs smell. Though one thing is worse, cat piss is 10x worse than Dog piss.

Cats fecal matter is also more lethal.

That being said, I like most all animals.

I've seen my cat crap in the middle of a street before making cars stop till she was done.

And yes, you can walk into any house and smell if they have a cat OR a dog.

[Dakar]

This is noted.

If I'm ever survive a life-threatening situation, I want the newspaper article to have a quote that reads, "I was cornered. I thought I was dead. But just before I gave up all hope, that's when I spotted the cat's litterbox."

How about this:

Your arguments are nothing more than your personal opinions, which everyone can disagree with. I personally hate dogs. They drool, they smell, and I can't stand them.

All animals stink, including humans.

Ahhhh. Why does this not surprise me? A cat bites the hater Cody "for no reason," she sues for 5 grand.

And why is one of your central arguments that "cats kill wildlife?!" Well geez! Wildlife killing other wildlife! PETA must be incensed at this clear breach of wildlife etiquette! In other news, if it becomes a problem simply declaw the sucker and it'll have a much harder time killing anything. But in my view, sometimes there's nothing like a nice little sparrow on your doorstep as a morning gift in exchange for your hospitality.

Ahhh yes! Wildlife killing other wildlife is a horrible, horrible act...wouldn't the wildlife be far better if we could just train it all!? People wouldn't die in moose accidents - why, they could just cross at the stoplight! Sure we could have guard moose! Clearly, since this cannot be done, moose are an inferior animal to, say, dogs. Clearly.

You are insane.

I would just like to point that out.

greg

[Cody Dawg]

I'm glad you think I'm insane and still responded to the thread.



As far as me suing, I didn't sue anyone. I went to the ER after animal control couldn't catch the cat for a tetanus shot. Five days later animal control required me to seek medical treatment for rabies - or be cited with a ticket. I went to the ER. I was pregnant at the time, also, so it wasn't high on my list. I started getting those shots, one in each arm and in each leg, four at a time, every three days for 6 days, or 24 injections.

About my suing someone, I did not. My insurance company called a month after the rabies series and told me that they needed me to sign an affadavit attesting that the cat that bit me was not mine or else they would not pay for the treatment, which was $4783 after the vaccinations and hospital care because it is not within the parameters of our policy. I'm not going to pay for it personally - why should I? They then contacted the person who admitted that the cat was hers - all by themselves - and made her legally and financially responsible for letting the cat out loose to bite people. I applaud them for that. I actually recall that United Healthcare, the insurance company, sued her homeowner's insurance company for reimbursement which is what frequently happens in these instances.

So, Shortcut, blow it out your @$$. Once again your imagination is running more wild than any cat.

[Kerrigan]

I hate cats, a neighbor's relative brought over a cat for her stay, and the cat would always come out into our yard and bother us. Then, when I was standing on our dock getting into my boat, the cat ran up and bit my leg, so I gently kicked it into the lake, in plain view of its owner.

We can talk.

[Kevin]

I like cats and dogs, though I think Cody's dislike of cats may be a small phobia.

<insert picture of cat with a "racist" bubble above head>



You know I am just picking cody.

Cats do smell, and all but so do all animals.

I have actually gotten cats before BECAUSE they kill rodents. That's a plus in my book.

You're a silly person will silly opinions. All 50 of my precious little kitty kitties smell fine. If someone walks into my home(not often) they smell the smell of love. Doggies on the other are bad, baaaaaad. They bite my kitty kitties and sometimes eat them. We know how to deal with bad doggies.

What brand of cat randomly comes up and bites people? I've never seen one.
But even if it is true, they are just acting on their instincts and don't know any better.

You however do.
