It makes me mad when my sister (who is an avid dog person) says "Cats kill wildlife you don't see dogs doing that"

Soon after I watched a pack of dogs take down a fully grown Kangaroo - with my sister - I called that poetic justice.

I also get the comments of "Its only an animal" , " I am sure you can WASTE your money on something else" or the classic "Save for something decent instead of spending money on that damned cat of yours"

In my family DOGS rule supreme. My dad spent $1000 on his dog after it got kicked in the face by a cow - for cosmetic surgery to its face! That was not even for setting the broken bones in it head! Just for removing the scar and extra tissue that had grown over it!

I say Cats rule supreme!

I ignore my family if they ever bring up the pet issue. I also don't get offended by ignorance. With the medical condition I have I deal with that every day.

As for Bastet - well she has saved my life more than once - and for that she gets my unconditional love. I can't say that about any human in my life.
