frustrating - why do people think cats are expendable?!?

My boys most definitely show me and my BF love, but they do it the way CATS do, not dogs.

yeah, that's true.


I am a dog lover, always have been. To me a dog is one of the best animals in the world & I could not picture myself living without one. I'm sure if something would happen between my wife & me I could easily go on with out a woman, but I'd still need a dog.


With that said, I also love my cats. I find myself at various times throughout the day thinking about getting home & picking up my "Purry Papi", Lears. The guy is just so loving, he just sits there in my arms & purrs & purrs.

I mean, it's not a mutually exclusive thing. You can love dogs & cats. It's not like sports where you CAN NOT be a Dolphins fan & a Jets fan

AddieBee, I notice that too. Supposedly the author of "My Dog Skip" was anti-cat for many years but became pro-cat later in life because of a gift his wife gave him -- a cat who then had kittens. He then wrote a book about his life with Spit McGee (one of the kittens) and the 3 siblings and other cats. We can only hope that can repeat and repeat with other dog-only people.
