Cats figured out that you'll feed them anyway.

He doesn’t like dogs. It was just PR. I don’t know what he likes. Golf, I guess.

I must be very confused then because I have dog’s and cats, love them all. Gus my lab and Woodrow my cat are best buddies. They all hate Maggie the Jack Russel.

My dog doesn 't stalk my goldfish,
he curls up beside the brooder while the new peeps grow (I think he likes the heat lamp),
he let's us know if someone has come visiting (strangers are a different bark than for friend or family),
he greets us with kisses when we get home from anywhere no matter how long or short the separation,
he smiles,
he was born 9 or so years ago at the neighbors house (that is no longer there) and he patrols that area still
often seen sitting like Balto surveying his charge .. the mayor of the neighborhood (we live rural and that 'perch' is on a hill .. very picturesque),
when my Filipina wife came to the house for the first time two years ago, Bubba instinctiveky knew she needed more than just me and my relationships and adopted her as his resposability,
and his name is Bubba, some black Lab lookin' Heinze 57.

I may be even more confused, I have a cat that thinks he’s a dog and a dog that thinks she’s a cat. Maybe it all balances out and I’m completely normal?
The “bi-petual” classification in the article cracked me up! LOL

Cats. If you understand them, they are not boring...

I used to consider myself a dog person, but (over the years) I’ve had both.
Dogs are friendlier, more loyal, and better for guarding the home. But they are also needier, nosier and dirtier.
Cats are cleaner and quieter, but very independent—they will only pay attention to you when they damn well want to. And, yes, they are awesome at catching mice.
I currently have a dog, but feel guilty about it as I don’t (can’t) spend as much time with it as I should. As a result, I think its rather lonely.

>> My dog doesn ‘t stalk my goldfish,
My cat doesn’t engage in non-stop “serial barking at nothing” like my @#$%^&* neighbors’ dogs do.
Dogs bark-bark-barking antagonize my neurosis and interfere with my aloof introverted neurotic creativity. :-)

You got it! I’m not a psychopath (at least, my psychiatrist says I’m not *quite* there yet :-) ), but listening to a Jack Russell terrier barking in the distance will get me to devising clever but cruel forms of animal torture in my head...

What about people with birds and a dog?
Birds make excellent watchers, because they give different vocalizations depending on what they see. I can tell who is coming home by my birds who look out the window and start to great the different members of my family. They also comment on the wild life in my back yard, distinguishing between scary hawks and owls, and friendly deer and possums, etc.
The best calls are when it is something they have not seen before.
The dog doesn’t even wake up.

I *like* those kinds of dogs just fine.
It’s the ones that bark just because they can that drive me nuts.
Actually, I blame their owners. A lot of people with dogs are really inconsiderate about their damned animals barking. They must think people around them ENJOY the “sweet music” coming from their pwecious neglected mutts’ throats.

...but listening to a Jack Russell terrier barking in the distance will get me to devising clever but cruel forms of animal torture in my head... ...rivaled only by those small yapping dogs who bare their teeth and throw themselves at the window glass when you walk by their owner's car in the parking lot. I always wondered what they would do if the glass disappeared while they were 'performing'...the dog HAS to know I could remove his head like a 40-watt bulb from a defective socket.
Lighten up, fang...not interested in your master's car, or anything in it.

Maybe it doesn’t know... keep in mind that that little 40-watt bulbhead doesn’t hold a whole lotta brains...
