Well, he’s scared of our cat...to the point of hiding behind the furniture and crying. My DH and I have always had shelties...great little dogs...we had one go off just like you described the pit can do. He does live in a yard with a 5 foot fence, they are very careful with him, but he is a very good dog.

I’d look at the cats in that pit’s life, too. We had a ginger tabby when I was growing up who’d put any neighboring dog into their place. Our female husky mix loved but RESPECTED him, as when play got too rough..*thwap*.

Then again, I’ve seen a tiny calico momma cat who had a tame wolf “beaten into submission”....I’d see the wolf sprawled out with this waif of a cat curled up on her side, snoozing.

As usual FrPR, you leap to sarcasm, leaving the costs to be borne by those who can least afford them.

There is a fine social equation here. The hours of pleasure that Pit Bulls give their owners during those brief periods when the owners are being held for trial or are not incarcerated are certainly worth, on balance, the miniscule* harm these attractive pets do to children, the elderly, mail carriers, law enforcement officials, random joggers, and the occasional unwary and provocative small pet owner.

I have already written Barack Hussein Obama to draft legislation demanding that faithful companion Pit Bulls be allowed to share their owners' cells, regardless of race, creed, or color. In fact, my judgmental friend, our government, through the WICC Program, already subsidizes the care and feeding of these magnificent animals. I ask you, can a government-subsidized pet, especially those living in public housing, be all bad?

and I don't give a fig about what those dirty capitalist insurance companies say!
