Thread: Are cats the choice of pet for the intellectual person?

    Are cats the choice of pet for the intellectual person?

    Hello,

    Do you think people who own cats as their sole choice of pet, are mainly intellectual types? Do cat owners, known as "cat people" tend to be deep thinkers, like artists, writers, music lovers. What do you think? Are people who own cats as their exclusive choice of pet, tend to be more quiet and deep thinking? Yes or no, maybe or no opinion.

    I voted no again

    I've known some smart cat owners ... and some very stupid ones! Same goes for dog owners.

    Nope.

    I'm a deep thinker and quiet, and I've never owned a cat in my life.

    For anyone's information the same poll is in the "Cat General" thread, and, of course, this is read by cat lovers. I think the general feeling is that cat people ARE different in someway. Anyway, this is just a fun poll and not really anything official. We are all pet lovers, and that makes us all wonderful people!!

    I tend to be one of the intellectual, deep thinking, artistic, writer, music lover type people.

    I'm deathly allergic to cats.

    I own eleven dogs.

    Hmmmmmm......

    I voted "no", obviously.

    As you can see, DJFyrewolf36 I have a wide assortment of pets! I love them all. Or as you say I wuv my babies! All my babies!

    Besides, this is Pet Talk where we all have something in common, and that is the love of animals of all kinds. So I think that makes us all special! Don't you? I love hearing about all the pets, everybodys pets. Sometimes I just like reading about them. It is always so interesting and sometime it is funny, and sometimes it brings tears to your eyes. Thats what I love about Pet Talk, thanks to Karen and Paul, it is for pet lovers of all kinds. Who can argue with that?

    LOL No, we cat lovers are not snobs. I happen to love German Sheppards, but I just cannot care for one now. What I have is a 19 pound Tabby cat who thinks he is a dog. I love the line KFAMR wrote about the cat staying at attention if a mouse went by. The last time a mouse was chased by my cat, he broke 2 lamps and pulled down a window shade. By the way, my nephew, who is a Sgt. in the Army, sent me this picture, so I assume these dogs are to be used in the army. I still laugh when I see it.

    I was going to say pretty much the same thing.

    Except I'm not a writer. ::wink::

    And I have 6 chinchillas instead of 11 dogs.
