'do not like cats' = 0 votes

WP has 24,317 members

Members who dislike cats would probably not respond to thread

QED 2,4288 WP members hate cats?

Me, indiffrent to cats as pets, but strangely find quirky cat pic's funny, go figure.

I love cats. It's very easy for me to make friends amongst cats :D

Unfortunately, I don't have one these days, but my neighbor's cat likes to visit quite often.

I like cats, they have a lot of guts, but nowadays man made materials are better for stringing a tennis racket.

I wuv em wif all my heart.

They're all different and have their own unique physical traits as well as their own temperments.

Cats are like choclate, you never know what kind of cat you're going to get.




Take a look at Nora for instance, she plays the piano like a pro!

I love cats. Unlike dogs, they don't require a lot of maintenace, they seem to live longer, and they can even be potty trained. (In the most literal sense too!)

Depends on the cat. Much like people - Some animals I like, some I dislike.
I love my cat, but she just pisses me of sometimes. Especially now that she's getting older, more whiney and started to drool all over me.

cats are awesome,theyre better than anything.
am not sure that those with aut/as would have a cat more than non spectrumers because they're one of the most popular non humans around,they're more of a lap pet than dogs so that would especially appeal to anyone who has some sort of problem or unwant of human contact for whatever reason?

am dont connect with humans,but am friends with cats,and get followed around by them like how cesar millan [the dog whisperer] does by dogs,have always had a profound connection with cats even when am interacted with nothing else.

it seems unfair that such wise and slinky and attractive beings could only live an average of 15 years.

agrees.
it isnt fair,they should be ageless like the gods they are,and deserve to be treated as,and it isnt fair that they often get things like cancer,nothing worse than seeing a cat friend with cancer [or some other illness that gets worse and is going to kill them] and knowing there's no way out of it for them other than to die,because vets say chemo is more suffering than its worth and operating isnt always suitable for different cats.
At least they arent like rats,they're one of the best friends can have,but they only have a few years or less of life and often suffer with terminal cancer at the end.

Quote:
more whiney and started to drool all over me.

she could have a mouth or tooth infection/problem of some sort as this one of the causes for when a cat starts to drool.and if it's a senior cat,it could even have dementia,or it could be because of pain or learned behavior [the whining that is,not drooling].

GFB drools,and he really soaks with it,but its not a physical problem for him,he likes to suck and kneed the wet spots he makes like a kitten,he acts like a kitten all the time,am recommend getting a big thick towel and using that as an anti slobber mat if do not use anything like that already and a check up at the vets as that is what GFBs human did.

Tony Attwood says that cats are really dogs with Aspergers. He may be onto something. :lol:

My user name and title are testament to the fact that I love cats! I am a member of an Internet site devoted to Siamese cats in particular and cats and pets in general. My favorite types of cats are Siamese, tabbies, and calicos.

Cats are fabulous, I have too many of them.

In general, I prefer animals over people, but cats are still my favourites. I have a bit too much in common with them for them NOT to be!
