“Unlike dogs they’re not into smelling a**.....”
Actually, we have two cats who actually tail sniff, and then make a really comical face with upper fangs showing. Then again, all our cats were brought to us by a setter-pointer cross; he loved kittens but didn’t care for cats. He considered himself their nanny, and brought them up w/his idea of responsible kitten-rearing (NPI.) He flipped them tail-over-head at least once a day, and guarded them obsessively. Come to think of it, no wonder our cats are all screwed up.

lol. Good one! Maybe my Sammy cat wants to be a Vet and do surgeries on other animals. Which is fine by me. Let him bring in a little income--lol. Pull some of his weight around here. :-D. All 12 lbs of it.

You’ve obviously never had a cat or you wouldn’t say such foolishness.

Ha ha, we’ve had a number of cats and a number of dogs. So I have first-hand experience!

Don’t get me wrong...I don’t dislike cats, but they ARE very quirky, odd, and sometimes vindictive. Dogs just love you. And can learn tricks.

Late to the party, as always. I have no doubt that dogs have bigger brains than cats. Dogs have the intelligence of at least a two year old child. Thanks for pinging.

I laughed at my cat a while back when he fell off a chair,and he gave me a look that could kill.
