It's sort of like saying Dog owners are less of a person than cat owners.


Especially the part about patience. Dogs take alot of patience and trust to train. It takes alot to gain that trust as well. Thus being the reason many, many dogs end up in the shelters, because people don't have patience.
Hello K

I cannot understand why this thread would offend you!!???!!The part about patience, let me explain: It's tolerance and patience, as trying to get a cat even to come over by me and sit down is a game of wits. Cats understand, they hear you OK, it's just they in their little independant head do as they darn well please. They are extremely intelligent (did you see the cat in" Riply"s Believe it or not " that eats his food with a fork!? And how about training cats to use a humans toilet? Cats are so smart they refuse to be controlled. They are basically wild animals that choose to live with us. If they decide they don't want to live with someone, it's out the house through the screen door, and find someone else.

PLEASE.. don't be offended and don't ever think dog owners are less that cat owners. Cat people, as they are called, communicate in much more subtle ways than you do with your dog. It's an entirely different world, I have had Beagle hunting dogs, Collie's, and cats. Cats are wierd, different, and it takes a special person to get along with them.

Angel, Sweetiecat, and all my feral friends, and myself, appologize if we have offened ANYONE here. Sorry we cat people are coming off as snobs to you. There was no intent for that, it's just, well, gosh, CAT PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT =^.^=
