I disagree. Cats are evil because long ago they made a deal with Satan. My kids cat (notice I didn't say "my" cat or "our" cat should thank her maker every day I don't feed her to the coyotes. Yesterday it sat on the couch, looked at me, dug her claws in, and ran for the door. If I had had a coyote handy....
If you want a good laugh, take a piece of masking tape and loop it sticky side out forming a little sticky cylinder. Stick this to your cat's face and sit back to Watch the show! Most times it lasts several minutes.
Cats are evil because harley-riders are jerks. Or ...ricer-drivers. Or ...overweight cops. Or ".. I never met anyone's redheaded ex-wife I didn't hit on. It's taste or lack of it, like local politics. A dog will get up and walk away, where a cat will stay and entertain you until you become boring. Pus sies are like that. Hello Kittie!
Cat person here. Grew up with dogs...like them too but, I love my kitties. If you treat them with respect, and as an individual, you will get along just fine. We have 3 in the house are all are lap cats. Have one that follows me everywhere...just because she wants to be near me. Sleeps with me too.
Mr E has three cats, two of which are adorable. Then there is Katy...she is an ancient black domestic with cataracts. The other night she jumped onto the bed (EEK!)...in the dim glow from the monitor her eyes were glowing eerily white... she looked like she had just crawled out of the Pet Semetary!! She then let out this creepy howl and proceded to walk across Mr E's face (ok, that part was funny!!) before she curled up on my pillow. I kept praying, "Please don't die on my head...please don't die on my head..."
