Amen...I agree!

People think cats are clean because they clean them selves all day. BUT they step in a dirty cat-littler pan, lick their @SS and then there entire body...that is not clean!

Dogs eat their own crap and sometimes roll in it. They also lick themselves clean in that area as well. They also carry more human-transferable diseases than cats do.

Actually dogs have less germs in their mouths than cats and cats do carry disease that humans can get...such as Cat Scratch fever! So I would say that there are flaws on both sides. However cats still are nasty little creatures...all in fun! :)

Another cat security job: Since the late 1970's there has been a refuge for cats behind the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. Shaped like two miniature Parliament buildings, the cat houses provide shelter for about ten to twenty cats. Each cat has its own bowl which they eat from twice a day. Every two metres there are miniscule round-shaped windows which the adorable cats climb out of every morning, eager to be fed. Recently, the local citizens banded together to pay for vet care and food. They figured that the cats bring in at least as many tourists to the Hill as the lying sacks of liberal crap in residence there.

nope, you are WRONG.... I have a wonderful dog & many wonderful cats.. each are different, like people.

THere are some nasty people, but I would NEVER characterize all as Nasty.

There are some nasty dogs, but I would NEVER characterize all as Nasty.

There are some nasty cats, but I would NEVER characterize all as Nasty.

People, dogs & cats are the result of how they are treated, trained, loved etc.

I am going to bet(well, not much lol) your mom had this opinion of cats? often our parents mentality of pets, snakes, food likes/dislikes carries over strongly.

You're wrong.

A cat scratched my forearm bloody when I was child. My "crime" was an attempt to pet the feline monster.

It's possible that this love of cats is a failing of B-16. To my mind, cats are very good at providing moving-target practice for hunters.

Cats also love munching their own puke.
