“To a dog, you’re family. To a cat, you’re staff” - Ken Davis
Dogs are great.....but cats are also great in different ways. Way lower maintenance than dogs - never have to let out to pee or take for a walk. They keep critters away from the house - my house was tree rat central until the little stray cat that we have since adopted showed up - now the little varmints keep to the trees and don’t destroy things anymore (they ate the boots off the vent pipes, causing thousands of dollars in water damage. Not any more - she’ll go up on the roof to get them if she sees them.)
Understood.
Our cats get what they want when they want it.
No waiting
They rule. We obey
Unreal how dogs dedicate their life to humans.
Th
And you wouldn’t eat a cat at some point to survive?
I wonder if they can smell the person through the coffin and ground - because that’s not the first time I have heard of something like this. How else would they know?
The former is not typical, but for affection get a Golden Lab.
Dogs— you are the owner and master.
Cats—- you are less than a pet than a servant.
(We have a "community cat" here in city, thank God, mother of about 25 kittens before she was "fixed," whose residence is in apt 2 across the street. But "Loli" does not like to stay indoors 9even in Winter) - nor be handled - so she has adopted us since God feeds her on our front porch, meaning people leave food for her, and she catches mice and rats, and often eats the parts she likes.
She just likes to eat out at "whole foods." Always looking for food (suspect she has worms) and turns up her nose at dry cat food since she discovered she may get wet cat food if she does.
Years ago, another cat adopted us, as her host/servant moved away. She "mittens" climbed up the porch to our 2nd floor apt and came in, and her new host fed him ("Science diet" I think it was called) and that settled it. The sound of the car opener was his joyful sound.
Not wanting a kitty litter box, I made a flap door out of a piece of plywood which went in a side widow a few feet from the porch, and i taught him how to use it (put tuna fish outside). From that point on he had freedom to come and go as he pleased, and brought home presents of mice, birds, and an occasional snake, which she ate. Yes, he was a real predator, and who also did not like being handled. (I hav him a bath one time, and I hardly ever heard such howling sounds.)
He got an abscessed tooth one time, which the vet said needed a $400 surgery. Instead, I held the car firmly, and (as I had done to myself in the past) punctured the abscess, and used H202 as antiseptic. Cat healed fine. Another time we prayed over the cat for another healing, and she recovered. Thank God.
The main local Facebook page (run by liberals, since they typically lust for power) abounds with posts about lost cats, and admonitions to NEVER let your cat outside, as if somehow they cannot survive. They are far more protected than the unborn, which are treated as sewage or cancerous growths by most of the same liberals who treat wildlife (which is to be respected, but controlled in residential areas) as gods. If I posted that on the local FB page it never would be allowed, nor me on it after warning.
I was wondering that myself. This was the first, and only, time they had been to the gravesite.
We’ve had dogs in the past, but now have two cats. Much lower maintenance than dogs. I just got tired of taking the dog out for a walk in the middle of winter twice a day, dealing with the cold and icy sidewalks.
I read once that a dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 more sensitive than a humans, and even more in some breeds.
We have a doodle that is an epilepsy service dog for my son. She could smell an on oncoming seizure from the other end of the house, through closed doors and would alert everyone. They trained her with a sample scent from someone who just had a seizure. People donate the swabs in closed tubes for the trainers to use
My dog is not a security system. She's an alarm system. Of course, she's 15 pounds, so...
Nope. My son is a Paramedic in Hendersonville, NC. A lot of cat ladies there I guess. He literally has PTSD from going into houses and extracting people who have died and seeing that their faces have been eaten off by their cat(s). I did not know cats did this so quickly.
Thanks for the humor.
That list is what I had in mind when I went fishing by posting the comment.
Stay away from women who take Zolpidem, commonly known as Ambien, is a sleeping pill that can cause sleepwalking and other complex sleep behaviors in some individuals.
Women often turn into crazed nymphomaniacs in the middle of the night and remember none of it in the morning. It is really dangerous as I have had patients tell me that they woke up and drove their car and then wonder why things don’t add up in the morning when they wake up. One woman asked me how her shoes tele-transported to her mothers house during the night.
“OR HUSBANDS OR BOYFRIENDS”
To that I cannot speak with experience!
You would too!
Every meal with my black and white cat is a playful struggle over how many treats he will be given as an inducement to eat the premium canned cat food that the vet recommends and that he actually likes. It is like bribing a three year old with candy so he will eat his favorite food for dinner, swallowing a few spoons of dinner in return for a piece of candy. As with a three year old, for my cat, it is as much about attention and control as about the candy. And when mealtime is over, the cat will sleep it off, curled up a few feet away from wherever I am.
That was awesome.

With few exceptions (i.e., bloodhounds), a cat’s sense of smell is 2x more sensitive than a dog’s sense of smell: https://www.catster.com/lifestyle/is-cats-sense-of-smell-stronger-than-dogs/
Hi
The cats never asked for cars and dangerous people and all sorts of hazards of urbanity
A girl down the street had a young female kitty. The kitty started watching for every time we drove by. Next she started waiting for us in front of our place. She eventually decided to have kittens here instead of at her home. All well and good so we boxed the family up and knocked on the door of the owner to return them. No go. Father there threatened to storm the kittens as he had previous kittens. No wonder mama cat decided to have her family with us instead. After advising the man what would befall him if he ever harmed any of the cats, we took them to our (their new) home. It was an amazing joy watching mama cat raise her kitties. She taught them everything. Five kitties. Tons of joy. 🤩
