Cats: Good or Evil?

(I thought this was on the FP? Well I’m putting it back. – promoted by On The Bus)

I’m all doped up on pain meds, so  I am not commenting much. But since I am all doped up on pain meds…..and surfing the toobz….seeing these videos back to back brought up the eternal question in the title.

“I am not a cat man, but a dog man, and all felines can tell this at a glance — a sharp, vindictive glance.” — James Thurber

“I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.”
– Hippolyte Taine

“A cat is more intelligent than people believe, and can be taught any crime.”
-Mark Twain Notebook, 1895

“I love cats because I love my home and after a while they become its visible soul.”
– Jean Cocteau

“There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats that enables one to come off as a sane person.”
– Dan Greenberg

  2. which would cause some tense moments to say the least, but when he wanted to start a hate group against black cats I put my foot down.

    I go away to eat, and somebody has drugged buhdy and taken over the blog.  A coup! But is the CIA involved?

    I’d be really careful calling cats evil. They might take offense to it, and they can be a little vindictive, being natural born hunters who can see in the dark when you can’t.

    Most critters are good in the main. Except Wasps, who are evil psycho bastitz with democracy sacs.

  3. wakes me up every damn day. But I love him anyway.

    I’m sure that in Catemies (cat academies) the Professor reassures the youngsters “Surely we are the pinnacle and purpose of creation. Are we not provided a rich diet, gathered from the world over by our servants, who themselves volunteer to serve us? And have we not the human, so massive in form, to open the door, and close the door, and open the door, and close the door, and open the door, the door forever, at our mere whim and cry? And to rebuke the dog that chases us?”

    Pretty ironclad, doncha think?

    My dear Glover, an 18-pounder that would chase our neighbor’s Irish Setter away from his own dish and eat his food in front of him, used to wake me up for his early morning meal by first doing a couple of kneads, then a meow, and if that didn’t work, he stick his nose in the corner of my eye. Worked everytime.

    revealed to me when a Siamese launched himself from a closet unto my head when my psyche was in an extremely tenous shape for a few hours, is that all cats are fully aware of the consciousness of every other cat, ever.

    That they are a field together, and they know it.

    Dogs have masters… Cats have staff. I think that sums it up pretty well.

    I never owned a cat as a kid – my father couldn’t stand them. We had dogs. BIG dogs – mostly German Shepherds. I didn’t get my first cat until I was well into my 20’s.

    He was a really good dude.

    That’s when I figured out that cats are pretty much like all other critters – including humans: Some suck and some are awesome. And much depends on their upbringing.

    I no longer own a dog because in my hometown there are leash laws and I just can’t keep a dog tied up or in a pen, etc. And I really don’t like most small, “yippy” dog breeds that might do well indoors.

    So now I own three cats. Two are manxes (little or no tail) and one I rescued from a dumpster when he was so small, I didn’t think he’d make it. I fed him with an eye dropper – He now weighs 20lbs. He’s a red tabby named Mr. Pink. (He was kind of pink when he was a kitten)

    Mr. Pink growls ferociously when someone knocks on my door. He’s a great “Watch Cat”! He’s actually a real “love pig” though once he knows ya.

    So buhdy, if you ever get a chance to raise one from a small kitten – which I really recommend – I think you might change your mind about cats. I did!

    Oh, I had a great idea… I think it is anyway… If you have any extra pain meds (sorry to hear you’re hurtin!) left over, send ’em to Rush Limbaugh.

    I bet he’s just one Oxy away from falling off the wagon. 😉

  5. that all cats are slightly annoying.
    You may love them, but they’re slightly annoying.
