Dog Religion vs. Cat Religion::

Dog: I am fed and looked after by a human, therefore the human must be a God

Cat: I am fed and looked after by a human, therefore I must be God

ROFL!

They are like that aren't they?

in my experience at least...

Mine too!

That's great.  "Dogs have masters.  Cats have staff!"

I have a cat called Marvin.  If he could ever be bothered to acknowledge humans it would be simply to confirm that we are on his earth for no other reason other than to serve his every whim.  The only consession we'd get is that he would acknowledge the fact that he'd occaisionally have to remind us to do things for him because we are too dim to comprehend what is totally obvious to him...

Sometimes I think I maintain our house for the benefit of our two remaining cats. They certainly behave that way.

@Erik.  and that's whats spooky about them.  They don't behave that way, they make YOU behave that way.

It's true, and probably why I like cats so much.  Rather than facile obedience, cats have an air of independence that I admire.  You can't "herd" cats.  That's a good thing.

It's also why I don't like em as pets.

They never make me feel loved or wanted! A little appreciation is all I'm looking  for!

(except for my neighbour's cat.... that one wouldn't leave me alone, and that turned me off too!)

Cats are great creatures.  In fact I prefer them to humans.

I prefer ladybirds...

except they're too easily squashed

i must second that comment. but i have yet to have a dog of my own to know the difference.  

Doggies RULE

With you there, 100%
