It's the cats against the dogs poll

while I sleep if I didn't vote for cats.

If I stay with you in Boston, I may have some allergy problems but its cool, would be an honor to meet your famous cat lol, I voted for dogs though.

Don't they teach you kids to read these days? :) :) :)

Dont worry about it though, its not that bad, its gotten better with age. Yes, they teach us to read these days but I must remind you I leraned how to read before Gulf War I.

and automatically assume it's bullshit and that if you believe the exact opposite, you'll be okay :). . . . that does work much of the time, but you've got to learn which of us you can trust :P

:). Is the subway system in Boston above or below ground mostly?

In the downtown area, it's pretty much all underground. As you get out towards the edges, it's all above ground.

The commuter rail (out by my place) is all above ground.

Just wondered because I am gonna wanna call to get in touch with people. I have a cell phone.

Once you get to Cambridge area you're above ground. Same with the area out by BU. Anywhere outside of downtown is pretty much above ground and your phone will work.

except for the spot going over the Longfellow Bridge.

:(

Sorry Kleeb.

dumb and dumber.

and when you call a cat it'll come??? No thanks. I'll take my dogs over a finicky feline anyday, no offense.

if it wants to.

It knows it's being called, whether it comes depends on whether it believes it will get something worthwhile out of it.

Whereas dogs...will come for no reason whatsoever.

I voted CATS! Cats are great! :D

"when it wants to"...I expect an animal to come when I call it. I am it's keeper. Our girls come when called. I'll take a dog over a cat anyday...just my opinion.

"Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on `And how do you know that you're mad?'

`To begin with,' said the Cat, `a dog's not mad. You grant that?'

`I suppose so,' said Alice.

`Well, then,' the Cat went on, `you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'

`I call it purring, not growling,' said Alice. "

great! I voted dogs because I have a tighter bond with my doggies but I love my cats too.

but they don't love me back so I love dogs more

I like 'em both

by one or the other of my furkids. :shrug:

Cats 47% dogs 53%

I love the puppies!

:grr:

cata are neat and clean ... so cat's rule .... it would be nice if they didn't treat you like their servant though!

I can't wait until I can be a cat servant again :D

:P

Three "meow" votes here! :D

What will come of this world? One big hairball?

with whats available

Cats need killing.

No one ever heard of a "yellow cat" democrat.

I've lived with both. My family had a dog when I was growing up, and I had a roommate with a cat. I hated cats when I moved in with him, but she grew on me, once I took the time to learn about cat behavior. We had a neighbor with 3 cats and a dog, and the dog LOVED me because I understood it (while she treated it like she would a cat). She believed in reincarnation and swore that I'd been a dog in at least one past life.

I can be fond of a cat, but I bond with dogs. Not to mention that I developed a physical allergy to cats from living with one, so it's DOGS, paws down!!

He's playing with his dolly! :loveya:

I don't mind dogs, but cats are the bomb! So loving, intelligent and never boring!

There are very many differences between cats and dogs.

First of all, dogs care. If the house is on fire, cats will sneak out the back door. Dogs will bark and try to wake you up

Next, cats won't listen. If you talk, dogs will tilt their heads and try to understand you. Cats will scatch you or pee on your leg.

Finally, dogs are cute. They sleep with you, go in cute possitions, and cuddle up. All cats do is pee on your floor, drop dead mice in your slippers, and eat. Oh, yeah, also the annoying "Reowww!!!"

Obviously, dogs are way better than cats.

I knew DUers were intelligent.

It's neck and neck now :D

Dogs actually show love and affection. Cats are cold, sly and uncaring.

I guess the cat who's been cuddled up on my lap all afternoon didn't get that memo about how cold, sly and uncaring he is.

And I call bullsh*t. If cats were really such nasty creatures, they -- all 70 million of them -- wouldn't be such dearly loved pets, would they?

They evolved alongside us. They are the only species that can understand our hand jestures such as pointing. You point at a stick and a monkey will look at your finger. A dog will follow your your finger and get the stick.

A cat is fine. But a dog is really part of the family. They do not distinguish between dog and human. They consider us one of them and them one of us.

I had dogs growing up and in my adult life have had one dog. I enjoy other people's dogs and I ooh and ahh over cute puppies and doggies in the park and thepet store, etc.

But for living in my house it has to be a cat. I love purring, soft, cuddly sleeping kitties in my lap, on my bed, next to me on the sofa.
Playing with stupid stuff like toiletpaper rolls, milk rings, zip strips from the grated cheese envelopes, old mardigras beads.

and mine do look at me very intelligently when I speak to them. They each respond individually to their names. Two of them are quite conversational.


Even my old cat will suddenly take a notion to sneak up on one of the others and do a surprise kamikaze kitty attack.


I like to watch them walk, and stalk things .

I love to hear them purr.....think it is time to let my boys in for the night, I expect they are ready now.
