Killing Our Best Friends

Cat owners are even worse than dog owners, for transposing their own notions onto their pets...
When a cat doesn't come when called, it is not being superior, it really just doesn't get it...same with being on the wrong side of the door - it just can't figure it out!
Ask any vet, cats have the tiniest cerebral cortex! You can even simulate a cat's brain!

I can't remember the last time I read a newspaper report of a child being savaged by a moggy!! :icon_lol:

We have a huge and beautiful Birman cat who is top of the pecking order in our house - this includes all other 4-footed ones, and, especially, humans.

He was on my lap the other day, and suddenly whipped round and started gnawing on my finger!
Take a look at a cat's teeth: they are sharp as sewing machine needles, and have the same action.
They slice through flesh, easily.

After a while I decided to leave, and jumped up with the 20-pound moggy dangling from the bloodied shreds of my right index finger.
Eventually it fell off, I went into shock and had to have an anti-tetanus shot and a full course of antibiotics.

I took it to the vet having decided it must die.
The vet matter-of-factly explained what had happened:
There was a small scab on its shoulder perhaps from a catfight, which must have been a bit itchy, and it couldn't reach.
When I stroked it, I must have disturbed the scab.
The cat leaned round to nibble at the irritation, found my finger, but got no relief, so tried even harder!
The more it bit, the more the scab got irritated by my desperate clutching!

The vet refused to kill it, explained about the cortex thing, and sent me off with a scolding to be more careful, and also watch the cat's diet as it is over weight.

SO cats are really stupid - dangerous too - and I have the scars to prove it.
 
I'm an animal lover and have been all my life. There are good and bad in both animal, and owner. Like any child (figuratively speaking) they learn from the adults that display it and continue to grow on, and from that while building instinct. If the animal has abnormal behavior or displays itself in a (I'll say) crazy fashion, odds are that symptom grows to a more noticeable state throughout life. Humans, as we are, same thing. Psycho is as psycho does. Period. This is in ALL forms of life as we know it today, and we have no control over it. So, an inbred, is an inbred, is an inbred. A progressive cycle that has ruined both man and animal throughout the whole general society, and all forms of life as we know it.

Actually, I'd agree cats can be vicious, but they're not bred to damage like many dog breeds. When my son was small we had a ginger tom who put up with endless indignities, which I doubt would have been tolerated by any breed of dog.

But stupid, not sure about that!
 
I sure hope for your wallets sake that you're not on metered water!!!

I was rolling in tears I was laughing so hard:applause:
