Yeah, but it\'s a cat.
-
my thoughts exactly
i mean cats - they are so damn useless
and selfish too
-
I happen to own 3 cats... Besides that, I don\'t see just how useful certain humans are, even some on this board (not to name names), but that doesn\'t mean I\'m going shove a screw up their ass and carry them around like hannibal lecter. However, I am rethinking that policy in light of how useful certain people *think* they are to society you bunch of resource consuming wastes of space. ;)
-
I love cats
-
Well I totally agree RYU.Maybe some of those cat haters should get one of them and up size it,Take it to a zoo and try to put it on a lion????People who hate cats are so brave to be against something that goes all the way up to there ankles.......WOW.Let me tell you this,If I had the choice of killing an animal or a human i would kill the human.Animals are instinct,people are assholes.
-
I don\'t hate cats, but I have to say that I think some people love them way too much. I mean it gets weird when you run into a "cat person" who just luvs their kitty kats, and their cats LUV THEM TOOOOO!!!
Bleccchhh. I don\'t understand it. I mean cats are pretty dumb, they just have predator instincts that make them look like they\'re smart. They have no ability to love a human, as far as I\'ve been able to tell. You can own a cat for 10 years, feed it, pet it, and support it, and then one day you try to pick it up and it will ram it\'s claws in to your arm. Next morning you\'ll find that it\'s crapped on your rug.
Dogs are smarter and at least they will react intelligently to your emotions and show some loyalty to you if you help them out. That\'s just my opinion.
-
An animal is an animal no matter how you position them (cats and dogs) in their role in society (which is nothing to begin with). They\'re pets and they offer companionship to those who treat them well. I don\'t see how that\'s useless.
-
I prefer dogs over cats..
But I do like cats as well. Their independence & pride. They won\'t come running to you when you call their name. They\'ll come if they feel like it.
Cats, lions, cheetahs, etc... Can\'t help but admire em.
As a pet I\'d choose a dog over a cat anyday.

WTF!
You would kill a human before you killed a cat! Are you smokin\' crack?(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.plauder-smilies.de%2Flmaa.gif&hash=9f4df3b5006266ed24e063e750b09e54cc6282e7)

he was talking out his butt
no sane person would kill a human before wasting a cat
:rolleyes:

Is it a muffling tool?

Cats are COMPLETELY useless animals.
Have you ever heard of a Rescue Cat? Never...Rescue Dogs, yes.
Can cats tell a human there\'s a bomb in the briefcase? No...a dog can.
Dogs Rule!
Cats suck. You gotta work for it affection. It likes you only when it\'s hungry. They\'re bad luck :p .
Why are they useless?
While you\'re out mowing your lawn, a tree could fall on you. What would your cat do while it sits on the windows sill waiting for you to feed it? Nothing except lick itself. A dog...well, the dog would get help. Or even pull your cat-loving ass out from under the tree.
And the tree fell on you coz the cat was bad luck. :D

You\'re the perfect example of why humans are assholes. Kill a baby before you kill a kitten? Babies are human, if you didn\'t know.

Here is a shot or muffy as you are stuck underneath the tree dying helplessly wishing you had a dog.

Not all dogs will do that. And another thing, if you had to choose between a dog who saved countless lives and will continue to do so, and some bum on the street pan handling for liquor, SPECIFICALLY for liquor, who would you save?

What does this have to do with killing a cat? But to answer the question, I would get the dog to save the bum. Since he\'s so good at saving people and all.

Most dogs have the capacity to unlike cats. And don\'t give me "Oh they\'re independant and will or won\'t do what they please." My chair is independant too.
And would I save a human over a dog? Hell no. I\'d be jailed. Humans can still be useful. A cat can never be.

I have 2 completely useless cats, Ichabod & Stu Barnes. Ichabod is a 25-pound lump of SH!t who sleeps all day & night. Stu is young & sleek and very friendly. He follows me around like a puppy. Stu gets outside and fights all night and costs me money in vet bills. (the last one was $200 to get his face shaved and an infection drained... D!ck....)
I like dogs too...
That pic is funny, I\'ve been looking for it...

of his two talents, which did you teach him first?
as for the kill a human or a cat debate. well if someone was trying to hurt MY dog, I\'d cap there ass with no regret, but as for a strange cat or dog, i\'d just put the person who hurt the animal in the hospital, but deffinetly no murder....hmm, I don\'t really sound like the good buddhist, that I try to be.
-
Now first of all I have to get this said.... if you were stuck under a tree and your dog was there it would only lick your face and if you were still there a week later it would probably start eating you.But having said that I\'m not anti-dog I think any living animal has the right to live.I just think who ever said that has watched to many episodes of Lassie!!!! Only a dog that has be hell trained would do that.Anyway like I was saying before I wouldn\'t kill a baby over a cat because a baby is innocent ,but replace baby with someone who hangs out in gangs of ten looking for one 15 year old to put in hospital with severe head injuries and leaves them retarded or paralised.You could bet your ass I would not think twice about killing the person.And when was the last time a cat flew a plane into a building.I think it\'s time you pulled your cat hating head out your ass and realise that some people deserve to die more than animals.And yes I did say SOME.

those of you saying cats are useless give examples against dogs who save lives.. how about dogs who sit down and jerk off all day.. Video, your dog is useless, and should be killed.. :rolleyes:
Cats offer companionship for those who may not be able to handle a dog. Old crippled people on the verge of death (such as Videoholic) might need a cat as they might not be able to take their dog for a walk everyday.. or cleans their rolled up sweater after the dog has had its way with it
get over it people.. Cats lower stress, simple as that.
-
I am certainly a dog person too. Cats are useless. Dogs even had a sexual position named after them, that just proves how superior to cats they are! Plus, I\'m allergic to cats, as I have said before. This makes me despise cats! Has anyone played that Cat-A-Pult game? Thats fun if you hate cats!!! PM me if you want me to mail it to ya!
-
i like the game and i like cats
but saying a cat is useless is stupid..

I hardly think any sane person would do that.
But if I saw a person getting beat up and someone beating a poor helpless animal, I\'d help the animal.
That\'s just me, I hate animal cruelty.
The link was funny though hehe :). It was just a joke so I don\'t get why people get worked up by it.

Look PS2_girl, being the great guy that I am, I went out and found a place you can go to. It\'s a support line/number.

Do you think your cat gives a damn about you? Cats are probably the most unloyal pets you can have. Honestly, I think a goldfish is my loyal than a cat. The cat only needs you because you know how to use a can opener and clean out a litter box... Which brings me to this... ALL PEOPLE WHO OWN CATS HAVE STINKY ASS HOUSES! Man those litterboxes just make the whole place reek, really sometimes I can\'t stand it, you let your cat sit in a sandbox in the corner of your living room and take a **** right there. It\'s almost mind-boggling.
You want loyal? How about a true story of a dog who visited a train station for 4 years by himself, because he was looking for his dead master who was transported out of that same train station in a casket. Honest to god there\'s a statue of that dog in that train station. Thats loyal.
In my book, there\'s only one good pussay.

Cats = useless
Dogs.....they rescue people, search for survivors, trained to sniff out bombs, snakes, drugs, criminals....some are being trained to sniff out skin cancer....
Cats, they cause allergies, trip people up from the top of stairs.....evil. And they steal baby\'s breaths. This is true. They were once thought to steal baby\'s breaths back in the 17th and 18 century. It turns out that cats like to cuddle up to baby\'s faces for warmth....sometimes causing suffocation.
THEY KILL BABIES! :eek:

yah :rolleyes:
when was the last time your dog sniffed out anything but your ass? (i bet you liked it too)
dogs are stupid and can be trained, end of story
dogs run away and get hit by cars.. dogs cause heartbreak and little girls (like Racer) cry..
dogs bite people, kill people, steal peoples babies etc. etc. you dont mention that do you? you are using example on non-household pets.. so you might as well uyse examples of wild animals
hell, i bet dogs have caused more household deaths than cats have in the past hundred years..

at least the ****ing cats stick around! dogs run off and kill themselves, they will starve, die, and rape unsuspecting pillows
ok.. lets get on with talking about the animals ****..
the only stinky houses are houses with people who dont clean their trays out properly.. ive lived with many cats with litter trays and none of my houses have stuink
and what about cats that dont use litter trays? they go outside? do you need to pick up the **** after the cat? do you ever find a cats **** on your couch? in your bed? all over your face after sleeping next to your dog? i dont think so..
do you find comfort and enjoyment out of walking your dog to the park and having to carry a small plastic bag around picking up its ****? you like carrying that **** around like it was a bag of cookies? do you feed that **** to girl scouts? (if you do.. i must insist you send me a video)
what about babies? how useless are they.. they **** themselves all the time, the room that their nappies are kept in stink, honestly, you just sit there and let a baby take a **** on your lap.. WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING A BABY
:rolleyes:
like i said, i am actually a dog person.. but stop being idiots..

Dogs are stupid and can be trained? Was that a stupid remark or what? When you get trained to do a job, is it coz you\'re stupid?
Or did you mean to say, "Dogs have the intelligence capacity to be trained whereas my chair and cat does not, although I have more use from my chair."
I knew you\'d see things my way!
My dog is actually quite smart. He fetches the news paper from the mail box, as long as its in the plastic bag. He gets my slippers or shoes (yeah, he knows the difference). He doesn\'t need a leash to be walked. He stays within six feet of me always.
And even if one\'s dog only knows STOP/NO/SIT/STAY - the dog still has potential to help their owner. Let\'s say you\'re mowing the lawn....and a large tree branch fell on you (coz a black cat crossed your path last night and cursed you with bad luck). Now you\'re laying there, unconcous and pinned under a large branch.
Your dog would know that you\'re hurt and try to help in some way like bark to get someone\'s attention to help your cat loving ass, or pull you out from under the branch.
A cat, sitting on a window sill would just lick its paws and balls waiting to get hungry.
*************
Yes, dogs have hurt people. But they have also saved and helped people as well.
BTW, the first intelligent being to ever go to space was a DOG! :D
Aren\'t you proud? Dogs rule. Cats useless.
Can\'t argue with results. You\'ll lose.

But did the dog know what the freak was going on?
I can\'t stand it when people get all caught up in lesser-animals. We should respect all of God\'s creations, but none more highly than another.
Trees do a lot more for people than animals. If the world didn\'t have plants, we\'d never be here, without dogs or cats, so what?

Bravo.
I\'ll stop with the cat bashing.

most dogs ive ever met would most likely come up and rape you, before saving you..
but thats great.. it really is.. like i said.. im a dog person, but saying that cats are useless/should be shot etc. is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard..
Aren\'t you proud? Dogs rule. Cats useless.

:rolleyes:
you people seem to think that dogs are around soley for practicle use, when in actual fact they are around for the same reasons as cats.. to provide a companion..
dogs = companion, as long as you are energetic and want to put in the effort
cats = companion for those unable/unwilling to put in that effort
cats are also more trustworthy.. i wouldnt let a toddler within 10 yards of a large dog etc. etc. the pros and cons are endless, get over it..
-
The "useless" comments are in jest (yet true). I used to own a Turkish Angora cat. Hell, it was so independant that I only knew I owned one when it was hungry and meowed like a crying child when it wanted food. Otherwise, it was sleeping 18 hours a day.
I owned a dog before that cat. I was glad the cat ran away, despite the first quality 3 years as a good cat, it suddenly became aloof. Last time I\'ll ever own one.
Then my brother got a cute little puppy. When he left, he gave Rocky to me. Man, what a fun dog. Sometimes he walks himself. I\'d say GO and he\'ll run off, mark his territory, crap on someone\'s yard...and Rocky knew to bolt once that happened. Coz I ain\'t carrying his crap back home. :D I\'d casually walk back home pretending it wasn\'t my dog. Rocky always took the short cut home. So I was an accessory. ;)
It doesn\'t take that long to train a dog.

that really is a touching story..

You guys are arguing over apples and oranges.
I own a chimp, a dolphin, and a midget named Rolo. They are all smarter than your dogs.
BTW, On the subject of "saving lives" when was the last time you heard of a pet cat maiming someone? I think their have been like 4 serious dog attacks in my area this year.
-
Cats are relatively small and can be easily kicked to the side. Dogs....on the other hand, are larger and therefore can cause a more serious threat. But to answer your question about cats attacking their owners.....here you go. Enjoy! ;)
Extreme aggression toward owner - cat
Q: I\'ve read your web page on cat attacks and aggression, but I think my situation is a little different. Let me explain. I\'ve had my cat, Jessie, for 4 years now. The first 3 have been absolutely wonderful with her. She seemed happy. We played all the time and she slept with me every night. One day, she totally turned on me. She hissed and spit, lunged at my legs with her claws while letting out this horrible scream. She slashed me up pretty good. I thought it was a phase and talked quietly to her to try to calm her down. A couple of days passed, and she seemed ok, until it happened again. This has been going on for a year now. Now I can\'t walk freely in my apartment without her wanting to attack me. It seems her favorite place to go is under my bed. She\'s under there most of the time. But if I dare walk in my bedroom, she comes flying out with that scream and slashes at my legs. I love my cat. I don\'t want to get rid of her, and I don\'t favor the idea of having her declawed. (I personally think it\'s cruel.) Is there any advice or suggestions you can give me on this situation. Thank you for listening. Marybeth
A: MaryBeth- If you live in area in which a veterinary behaviorist practices (usually big metropolitan areas or near veterinary colleges) it would be worthwhile to consult with a behaviorist. Extreme aggression directed towards people is best treated by someone who can evaluate the possible physical causes and who is familiar with the possible psychological problems as well. Physical causes include problems such as chronic pain, ischemic damage in the brain and some neurologic defects. Psychological problems include extreme anxiety, redirected aggression, fear and several other potential problems. If a cause can be identified, either physical or psychological it is easier to predict whether or not treatment will be beneficial and obviously easier to choose the treatment plan most likely to work.
Good luck with this. I wish I could give you a more specific answer but this is another one of those problems that requires an examination and detailed history taking.

Ankle biting and sudden attacks are most often associated with predatory aggression. Cats have a strong natural desire to hunt. Inside the house, there isn\'t much to satisfy this desire. Mice, grasshoppers and other attractive prey are scarce indoors, so they have to make do with what they have --- ankles and other moving body parts of their human companions.
In some cases it is possible to provide a more appropriate toy to satisfy the predatory urge. Toys that work are furry balls on a string, wand, or attached to a small fishing rod for efficient "casting" and interesting motion as it is reeled in. .A radio controlled car may work to exercise cats who are not afraid of them. Some people just tie a toy on a string to their belt to provide a better target then their ankles. This also provides a lot of exercise which is a good release of the pent up energy in many kittens.
Most cats will outgrow this behavior by the time they are a couple of years old and are much better if given alternatives objects to attack and sufficient exercise. . If your cat doesn\'t respond to this, it might be a good idea to consult with a certified animal behaviorist to make sure that predatory behavior is the problem.

Cats just don\'t like me, naturally. Every time I look one in its eyes it\'s asking for a fight. Or perhaps I was scarred for life this one day:.......
I was 7 years old and it was a hot summer day and I was just walking around in the backyard in nothing but some swimming shorts, eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was just mindlessly walking around when all of a sudden the ugliest stray cat, with one eye, started walking towards me. I figured it would be hungry so I decided I may tear off a piece of my sandwich. But the foul beast started running at me! I was kind of in shock and just stood there, and the cat was jumping at my sandwich like a dog! For some odd reason it just started hissing at me for not giving it to him (which reminds me, I hate cats that hiss)and he threw a paw with his claws out at my ankle! This freaked me out and I started slowly stepping back when it made one last jump and slashed me across my chest, leaving 4 slashes about 4 inches long. Luckily I didn\'t catch rabies.

Hey Gman, when was the last time a pet cat killed someone in an attack. Of course, I\'m not downplaying ankle-biting and leg-scratching, they could be deadly.
-
Let\'s see...the cat\'s mouth is too tiny to get a good grip on an adult\'s flesh....teeth are too tiny...muscles aren\'t strong enough to take down an adult....it weighs less than 15 pounds.
Never.
And neither has a dog of equal size and weight.
So...therefore, small dogs and cats have NEVER been able to take down a full grown human.
Your argument is weak.
Make the cat slightly larger...say a lynx or bobcat, yes, they have killed adults before.
Yet still, a cat is too dumb to be of any use other than catching mice and small birds.
PS - cats have killed human babies. But just about anything can.

^^^When did the argument get into specifics? You guys say that cats(in general) are useless and that dogs(in general) are not.
I was just pointing out the fact that dogs kill a hell of a lot of people in addition to saving them.
BTW, Don\'t get me wrong. I have a dog and a cat. I just don\'t think cats are useless.

Never.
oh ok.. so our arguement about cats never killing someone is invalid?? damn.. im an idiot idiot idiot *bangs head*
of course! if a cat was as big as a dog, it WOULD be as deadly! i am such a fool
:rolleyes:

Yes, imagine a cat as large as a big dog.
Lynx, bobcats, leapards and cougars.....they have killed humans. The leapard and cougar are as large as Rottweilers, Mastiffs and St. Bernards.

Idiot? I agree. ;) Ya see, take a dog of equivalent size to a house cat, I can tell you that no dog of that size has ever killed a human.
Come on....let\'s keep the debate going. Me rikey! "A winner is ME!" :D
Next?

Ah....specifics to keep the playing field fair. You know full well that a 150 pound dog can kill a human. So you say that an 8 pound Chihuahua is just as deadly?
Let\'s use common sense here, kids.

you.. are a complete idiot if you missed the cynisism and sarcasm in my post..
-
Bah! You rolled yer eyes at me. I saw no winky-wink! See this ;) To me, that could mean you\'re being sarcastic or funny or both.
But :rolleyes: is more like "you\'re an idiot". That\'s what I do when I roll my eyes at people. :rolleyes: ;)
-
nono.. i wasnt trying to be funny.. the :rolleyes: does in fact mean what you think it does..
but you failed to realise its signifigance.
you are saying that dogs are more dangerous because of their size.. true
but that is completely irrelevant to the overall fact that dogs are more dangerous. END. OF. STORY.
it just pisses me off when people think they are winning an arguement when we are arguing two different points.
the simple fact that you think cats are useless means that you have lost this arguement already, there is nothing to argue about, and anyone who considers them useless is an utter idiot who is ignoring obvious facts because they want to feel better about themselves and their dogs..
(compensation problem :p)

Cats are useless.
Tell me the usefull things about cats.
Soft fur? They make the pet owners feel better? Dogs can do that too and THEN some.
I know the reasons why people get cats over dogs. The fact is, they\'re still not much use. I\'m not saying they\'re a waste of space. Heck, I owned turtles too but like cats, they\'re useless. Yes, people get dogs not for service but purely for owning an amusing pet. I won\'t argue with you on that issue. But still...........cats = useless. They have their purpose. And that\'s to be ones pet. That\'s it. Whereas a dog, it\'s a pet AND can be more!
I told you before, you can\'t argue with results.
You should watch the movie "Cats and Dogs".
Most of the dogs did they\'re own roles, very few animatronics. Cats....on the other hand....were mostly done by animatronics. Why? It would take ages for a cat to be trained to do one scene. :D

True, SOME dogs are more dangerous. That\'s my point, bubba software.

Yeah funny..
Cats > Dogs
:fro:
-
the arguement was never are cats better than dogs.. because i wholeheartedly believe that dogs are better.. for my needs..
but i have a grandmother who isnt energetic enough for a dog (of any size or kind) and who loves her cat to just sit on her lap for most of the day.. she finds comfort in having something like that to love
it has been clinically proven that a cat owner will not suffer from stress to the extent as a cat-less owner.. that includes owners with dogs.
cats can offer companionship in different ways to dogs, they both have their pros and cons..
and why do you think that being able to be trained to do routines and simple tricks as a sign of intelligence? dogs can be trained to fetch a stick, so they are more intelligent then cats? bull ****ing ****.
Labrodors have the least amount of intelligence of any dogs, but they get the most important job of guiding a blind man through the city etc. is this because they are smart? no its because they are trained to do certain things.. trained..
just because cats are lazier than dogs does not make them less inteligent.. i would put my money on cats being moreso than dogs.. but hey.. who cares, its irrelivent in the end
cats offer companionship on a level that dogs cannot, and dogs offer companionship on a level that cats cannot..
ugh.

i never argued against that but you fail to see how that is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THIS ARGUEMENT
-
You brought it up. So I backed it up.
-
wha?? i did nothing of the sort, you went off on some fairytale talking about why cats are less dangerous when it was completely irrelevant to the point that cats are less dangerous around humans..
"duuuuaaaaaaahhh, get a big cat and then they would be more dangerous, duuuuuaaaaaaah"
ffs you cant get through to some people..

dogs bite people, kill people, steal peoples babies etc. etc. you dont mention that do you? you are using example on non-household pets.. so you might as well uyse examples of wild animals
hell, i bet dogs have caused more household deaths than cats have in the past hundred years..
You said it\'s irrelivent to this argument but you brought it up.
TA DA!!! :D
-
i only brought up the fact that it was irrelevant.. you then said you backed it up.. but you did no such thing in this case.. you backed it up well before i mentioned this
stop changing your arguement as you go..

Ah good job there, Einstein. A Chihuahua is less dangerous than a 150 pound dog. Pass this guy a nobel prize.
AGAIN, I am going to say that the argument has never been all cats are useless and some dogs are not. Why get into specifics now?
-
awwwww.. Gohan!.. i was kinda hoping this debate was over :( and you had to bring it up again!
:mad:

We recommend this trouser hanger. The trouser hanger 9000 ist modern, new and time-saving. Its nonslip coat enables to hang wet clothes because the colour doesn\'t come out onto them.

And your point was that cats have never killed people and you\'re insinuating that dogs are generally more dangerous. But that\'s not fair to argue that since there are so many different type of dogs with unique personallity traits. This may sound strangely PC but you really can\'t generalize dogs since they are considered the mammal with the most varying breeds of any species and many of which have their own unique personallity.
Cats all pretty much come from a cookie cutter image : Small, docile, aloof yet affectionate, curious and lazy/useless. :)

FINE! I\'ll hang it up......
Dogs rule. :p

Wow :p I made this post cuz I thought the pic was funny, and it turned into a whole cat-dog reference section :nerd:
Cool, I guess :hat:
