Reply #33: You're judging all cats by one cat? Should I judge all dogs by a dog that maims/kills a person? [View All]

The cats I've had in my life (probably a total of 15 or 16) have all had their own personalities, true, but the overwhelming majority were affectionate, friendly, wonderful animals. If you don't think they're part of our family you are sadly mistaken. I have great communications with my cats -- we carry on "conversations," they run to the door to greet me when I come home, they sleep on my pillow, they purr, they seek me out for petting, etc. etc.

I get really sick and tired of the way so many "dog people" seem to feel they can express a wish that cats be hurt or killed. That is disgusting. Just because I'm not a dog person, and tend to often find dogs somewhat annoying and have no desire to have one (yes I've been around plenty of dogs and we had one when I was a kid) doesn't mean that I don't wish all dogs well and hope they all find people who will take care of them properly.
