Stan says Cats Rule!!!

[lostinbeta]

I vote dogs. I love my Rottweiler. His name is Zeus (for short actually...lol). He is da bestest doggy in da world!

Oh yeah, and cats hate me. Everyone who has told me that their cat is so nice and doesn't bite and scratch, well their cats bit and scratched me. Either they all lie, or cats hate me. Considering some of the people, I lean towards the cat theory.

[reverendflash]

Well, Stan thinks he is a dog!

:P

[lostinbeta]

My sisters cat thinks shes a dog and her dog thinks she is a cat. It is very funny to watch them. Considering the dog is a Rottweiler that acts like a cat. And if anyone knows that kind of dog that is, knows that they are kind of big.

Funny stuff I tell ya :)

[upuaut]

I love my dog. Cats are too independent. You could be you, or anyone else.. they rarely care. Dogs on the other hand create lasting bonds with their owners. My dog Poe is a member of the family... though he still has to wait till we're done to eat.

When I get a chance I'll re-upload the pictures I have of my dog. Once you see him you'll swear off of cats forever. :)

Dogs rule.. cats drool..

nuf said.

[lostinbeta]

Well vote on the poll david. Unless you have and it just isn't updating on my side. I need more people backin me up...lol :P

[reverendflash]

That is why Stan is so great...

He is definitely my cat...He comes when I call, I have never seen him get mad at anyone...

But he won't get up on your lap...at all...

I hate it when pets just won't leave you alone...( I have a friend with a wonderful dog who won't stop trying to play ball)

Dogs are cool, but not in the City...

The only grass around my house is sold in dime bags
:goatee:

Rev

[lostinbeta]

Haha, I hear you on the city part. The only grass I had was in my back yard, but my mom dug about 3/4 of that up to built a stupid pond. But out house is big enough for our dog to play in. Specially when we run up and down the steps over and over :) (he likes that game)

[reverendflash]

lol-

dogs do love to run...

my friend with the needy dog just lives up the street. I wouldn't do that to a dog... I mean he walks her 3 times a day, plays ball constantly, and is a very caring owner, but still...

He says, " if you want to lose weight, just own a dog in the City."

Rev

[dexa_007]

I must say ... I prefer dogs. Cats give me the "evil eye." :evil:

J

[lostinbeta]

Sometimes I think it is impossible to lose weight in the city. With all this fast food floating around it's just too tempting to pass up :P This coming from a walking stick.....haha :)

[reverendflash]

no problem with me and fast-food...

I am a classically trained chef...

I just hate to go shopping...

Rev

[lostinbeta]

Hey Phil: I never really stated the stereotype on cats, I just stated my theory that they all hate me, which is true thus far. But now that I think of it, none of the cats I have ever met were like yours, they were all too independant. That isn't to say that ones like yours aren't out there, I just haven't met them.

Also, I feel for your loss. When I was younger my favorite dog, Thor, died before my eyes. He was misdiagnosed by the Vet and ended up getting cancer, and we couldn't treat it. He got so sick that we decided to have him put to sleep, he died the night before he was supposed to go in, he had a massive seizure and started flopping around on the floor, and then he just stopped. We had him cremated and we still have his ashes.

Ok, to keep this thread from NOT getting even more depressing....

Rev: Classically trained chef eh? My brother is quite the chef himself :) You seem to have quite the diverse background, which is definitely a good thing.

[reverendflash]

Yeah, I spent the first 15 years of my professional life trying to figure out what I wanted to do...:elderly:

Went to chef school at 30, bought a computer to write my notes...

the rest is history...well, with a trip to design school...

I have a deal with my girlfriend...I cook, she shops:P the blue hairs who take up the entire isle talking to their one last friend who is still alive drive me nuts:evil:
same reason I don't drive in the City...

She lived in Queens for 10 years (originally from Jamaica), so she is used to it...keeps stress levels down:x

Rev

[lostinbeta]

Very interesting indeed.

I am 18, I already know what I want to do, but I decided to try and get into a 4 year college and no one accepted me (which is weird since I graduated with a little over a 90 average), so now I am waiting and am going to apply to vocational schools I suppose.

I want to do Graphic and Web design by the way:)

[reverendflash]

I wish I had known that at 18...

I dabbled in Graphic Arts, but back then everything was done by hand, so in design school I had to re-learn most everything except typesetting...

what a pain...sometimes I think it was easier to glue and paste...:elderly:

Rev

[lostinbeta]

Glue and paste is definitely fun:)

I think I like Graphic design better than drawing because I am much better at it. I can draw, just not as good as a lot of other people out there. I am a little above basic, but no where near advanced.

You still have to go back and do the regular art though, it is sometimes relaxing and more fun to do if you are in the right mood =)

PS: I think we totally went off topic here :o

[reverendflash]

was there a topic?

sorry about that, I do that all the time...

my bad:x

Rev

[lostinbeta]

I have a habit of straying off subject myself. As you notice, I strayed only because you mentioned you were a chef, and you mentioned that because I mentioned fast food. See all my fault :)

[Raydred]

I like Dogs because im alergic to cats... =T

[lostinbeta]

That is a completely legit reason:)

[telekinesis]

<bark src="dogs_own.php" width="100% height="100%></bark>

[lostinbeta]

Actually that would be....

<bark src="dogs_own.php" width="100%" height="100%"></bark>

You left out some quotes:)

[telekinesis]

Grrrr....ruff ruff! Don't make my boxer chase you down like the dirty little cat lover you are...lol just playin, my doggies aren't mean, but cats are! :crazy:

[lostinbeta]

Cat lover? Me? Did you even read this thread? Because if you did you would see you are wrong again :evil:

[telekinesis]

That's why I was just kidding, maybe you are the one to exclude some of the conversation! Or maybe its too late for me to care lol. I saw your post count and at first I thought kirupa added a new data feature that showed your birth year, but then after like 10 minutes (5 posts for you) I noticed you were younger by the minute! A true addict in all of his supremacy!

[lostinbeta]

No, you just said you were playin' that your dogs aren't mean :evil: :P

Anywho, yeah, I gots me a lot of posts. Flex still beats me in posts per day though. I am catching up to that quickly though.

I get the shakes when I don't have my kirupaforum within an hour.....haha

Ok, I am not going to change the subject again :smirk:

[Jubba]

I went to the city yesterday and I wanted to cry. I was walking back to port authority to catch my bus, when I passed a burger king, and not even two blocks later, I passed ANOTHER Burger King...I think that is getting a little out of hand... Two fully functional burger kings not even two blocks apart?!? Oh, well I guess that is just more evidence to my idea that Humanity is becoming increasingly lazy and stupid...I spent my entire day in Central Park with my friend and then I went home...rather uneventful.

Back to the topic: Dogs over cats any day. Just personal preference. Cats aren't all the bad if they behave the way that Phil's did, however I have yet to see a cat that acts like that.

Back off the topic: I'm sooo hungry....

[lostinbeta]

off topic: Around here there is spot where there is a Burger King, a Wendys and a McDonalds all in a row on the same block. Now that is sad!

on topic: glad to see I am not the only one who hasn't seen a cat like Phils, I definitely would love to see one though:)

[eilsoe]

Don't worry Lost, one of my ex girlfriends cat was totally psycho... couldn't get near it, at all! :)

On the other hand, my two cats are sooooo cute :P

[lostinbeta]

My girlfriend has 3 cats, all of them like to disappear when I get there, but there is this one that she said is so nice and the first time I went to pet it (she of course told me not to worry and that it wouldn't do anything), it lunged forward and attacked my hand, it clawed me and like ate my finger. Bringing forth my theory that all cats, no matter how nice, seem to hate me in particular :( And I did do everything my girlfriend told me to do, so it wasn't like I did something to scare the cat.

I like my sisters cat, but that cat thinks it is a dog, maybe that is why? I think it is the only cat that I have met and it doesn't attack me :)

[reverendflash]

even though I have a cat, I was raised wth both cats and dogs...

I do have friends whose pets drive me nuts...a cat that one minute is purring and acting nice, then the next second is tearing up your leg for no reason...

Then my brother had a dog that pee'd on your shoes when he jumped up to say hello...

I guess they are kinda like people in that way, sometimes cool, sometimes in desparate need of severe medication...

=) :cyclops: :evil:

Rev

[upuaut]

most of the time, with dogs, it's just a matter of dominance. If you let your dog walk all over you he will.

http://www.centerspin.com/poenpancakes1.jpg

http://www.centerspin.com/poenpancakes2.jpg

I can hold a piece of steaming hot sausage in front of Poe's nose, tell him to "Wait", and he will still very still and not take the food. Sometimes he'll turn his head away from the food just so that he doesn't have to look at it while waiting. It's very cute.
My dog is great because he's a great dog, and because we are good trainers/owners/parents.

I guess in the end it's just a matter of taste, but I've never understood liking cats over dogs.

[reverendflash]

I look at it like children...

some are great, some are a pain in the a**.

I agree that it is hard to pick any pet over another. I have a friend who has a pet ferret...That's one I have never understood...:P

David, Poe looks like a fun and loyal companion...thanks for the pics,

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

My sister has 2 ferrets, one is evil in every way, and the other one is so nice its unbelievable.

My mom has rats for pets. Try and figure that one out :q: (and yes that is true)

[reverendflash]

well, we had a pet skunk (de-smelled) when I was real young...I thought it was a cat...

For years I didn't get the Pepe' le Pew cartoons...:smirk:

Rev:elderly:

[lostinbeta]

My mom used to have a racoon for a pet, and an alligator, a duck, and I had fancy chicken as a pet when I was younger.

My family always picks the weirdest animals as pets.

Oh yeah, and lets not forget the chinchilla :)

[pom]

Off topic: I'd die for a Burger King right now.

[pom]

On topic: cats any day. I've secretely wanted to be a cat for some time now.

Off topic: I'd like a large double Whopper with cheese, and a Sprite, please. And some Mayonnaise. What do you mean you don't know what mayonnaise is?...

[sintax321]

Dogs are way better than cats. You don't own a cat it owns you. A dog is always happy to see you but a cat could care less.

[reverendflash]

another narrow point of view heard from:x

Rev:elderly:

[kirupa]

Wow, a lot of dog lovers here! I like cats. Cats are quiet, independent, they clean themselves, and aren't overly loud. Granted there are exceptions to all pets, the cats that I had (had to give them away though :( ) were really awesome.

Cheers!
Kirupa :sleep:

[UNFLUX]

and they all are great. They are just like what Phil says
his are...

except they HAVE pissed and sh*t on the carpets. And I
know plenty of animals, no matter what they are, that will do the
same. No matter what, pets are great. Just stick to your own
preference.

Personally, I still think dogs are far better pets. And I can't WAIT
to get one.

sorry phil :P

:goatee:

[lostinbeta]

The way I see it, every animal has a different personality, just like people. A person falls in love with the personality of their pet, not the type of animal it is.

All agreed?
