T.J. I didn’t take it as anything bad, no worries. I just was clarifying my remark. I like cats but mostly outdoor cats. Although kittens are a total blast to play with. Kitten + laser pointer = loads of fun. 🙂

Mike Wynski, I was just making some general observations about cats after reading all the cat-related comments (I love cats, and pets in general) – I wasn’t intending to respond particularly to your remarks, it looks like I put my post in the wrong place, which seems to be something I tend to do – sorry! no harm intended. 🙂

I should give my standard disclaimer: * I’m just an average girl living in this world, not meaning any harm or upset to anyone. Wishing you well…

T.J. I was just responding to the criminally insane person who was threatening to kill someone over their opinion. NOT responding about cats. 😉

Overunincalifornia, why do you think that about Espi? Any particular reason?

Exactly what I was thinking too… poor kitty. Veterinarian: Your cat’s been hit by a car, he’s in pain. OT: Yah, I don’t want to spend any money on him, I’ll just take him home and toss him under the bed.

Hi Espiando, I was reading your post about pets and I thought what if you built a robotic one that could reciprocate and guard your space as well.I am not joking,if you made me a cat I would consider purchasing one fron you.xo Ann.

Yea, Espiando, I imagine you would have a lot of experience with masturbation.

No, I just don’t have any use for pets in general. Do you know Jean Genet’s line about masturbation, that it’s the perfect form of love because the amount of affection given equals the amount of affection received? Same thing applies to pets, in my opinion. If I’m investing time, money, and emotional attachment into something, I’d like something resembling equal reciprocation.

Cats are such beautiful, wonderous animals. Cats are functional – they can keep your home free of mice, spiders, and other bugs. Cats are also helpful in terms of emotional support, just petting your cat can calm your nerves and make you feel more serene and peaceful, it can even lower your high blood pressure, this has been documented in medical studies.

Cats have been known to show signs of impending earthquakes and some have awakened their owners from a house fire enabling them to escape. They are fun to watch, kittens are so cute when they play. The world would be a harsher, colder place without cats.

Espiando, I’m guessing you did not have a pet cat in your life while growing up, otherwise you would have love for cats. The only people I know who don’t like cats are those who never experienced the joy of cat companionship as a child, so to them, the cat is mysterious, somewhat unsettling… it’s the fear of the unknown, something foreign and strange to you. Once you know a cat personally, you will love a cat.
