This thread can be anything it likes EXCEPT CATS. :lol: :lol:


I'd like cats more if they didnt crap all over my garden. Even better if their poo wasnt such a delicacy to my dog :shock:

I hate dogs. And cats. Also hamsters, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, horses... in fact anything that needs looking after that isn't one day going to be able to fetch me a cup of tea and a slice of cake. All pets are obsolete technology in my opinion. :lol:

 

Blimey, you really are a bundle of laughs :booty:


And here you go, [mention]fastbob[/mention]

Dogs are big kids who do all the stuff kids do. Sometimes charming, sometimes embarrassing, a bundle of both good and bad personality. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes joyous. Sometimes impulsive, sometimes nervous, sometimes confident (even overly so). Complex ol' things.


Cats are simple.


Cats are just that 'friend' that take you for granted :lol:

Where did you get the impression I'm not keen on women? :scratch:

Ironically, cats crap in your garden because you haven't got a cat .

I bloody agree.


I'm a keen gardener and veg grower and I don't understand why cats feel the need to dig a hole and crap directly on to the veg I'm growing!!!


On the plus side, Opie seems to be deterring them! :thumb:

Oh it was only a vague impression. All that stuff you said about your Mum in " Hell on Earth " wasn't very nice but I suspect it was supposed to be tongue in cheek.

Perhaps it’s not cats and dogs I hate so much as cat and dog people: the juvenile anthropomorphism; the assumption that everyone is equally fascinated by whatever mind-numbingly tedious thing they do; the fact that so many of these people appear to have more meaningful social interactions with their pets than they do with their fellow human beings. But if you dare to say it – dare to say that when you go round to someone’s house you are not totally enamoured of having their f*cking mutt climb all over you, slobber over your clothes and repeatedly ram its nose into your groin – you’re immediately treated like a social pariah. It’s probably more acceptable to admit an unhealthy interest in small boys than it is to say you’re not a cat or dog lover.


Take Bob’s reply to my post, which I should have though was quite clearly light-hearted: I get personal insults, including a fatuous accusation of misogyny. How am I supposed to respond to that? If I say what I think, I risk tacitly confirming his further charge of superciliousness. But equally I have to be careful not to generalise Bob’s humourlessness to all animal lovers: perhaps he just has haemorrhoids.


:wink:

@MarkW run out of benzodiazepines again? :D

 

Well seriously - what the f*ck is wrong with these people? I get fed up of smiling politely when at the more extreme end of the spectrum you have people referring to their pets as their 'children' when what they really need is f*cking sectioning under the Mental Health Act.

It could be worse, they could call them their "fur babies" :lol:

I don’t think this’ll go down well in some quarters but this is my take on it-

People love their pets like they’re human because it’s a basic human need (for most people) to feel loved (and for many to be wanted and needed) animals can fulfill this function without the risks of any of the other damaging aspects of humans, you attach whatever level of importance you like and anthromorphasise away to your hearts content, the animal will agree with you.


In a way they’re an upgrade from a human relationship because you get all the love and affection you need for very little return. Unlike a person who will be demanding of your time and attention, occasionally disruptive and likely to require a lot of thought and input. You could if you were being hard nosed and not wanting to be arsed with other people say they are more efficient than humans on delivering a good relationship. You just have to set aside the notion that human interaction is somehow superior.

Judging the animal as lesser than a human so the person must be too is what leads to the snears.


I’ve shown and bred dogs for years, currently I have four dogs (MarkW would hate it here) we all anthrorphasise the hell out them and enjoy it (although I will say we wouldn’t dream of doing that in front of other people). In the morning I’m greeted by multicoloured fast waving tails and this enthusiastic entourage of fans follow me about tinkled pink to see that I’m still me (and alive to feed them :D ) for a few minutes everyday before they settle down and bugger off to do whatever they want to do. It’s a great way to start the day.


And don’t get me started on the dogs (and strangely some cats!) that have saved human lives.

Back when I was on Facebook I had a childless vegetarian 'friend' who referred to her rabbits as her children. When one of the festering things died she went on and on about how heartbroken she was, and posted a long emotional post asking for advice on coping with her loss. I posted a recipe for rabbit stew, which precipitated an immediate 'unfriending'.


:lol:

I’m with you on this

However Missus Mickly is set on getting another cat, despite the heartache and pain leading up to and following the last one’s passing.

Oh I completely understand why people love their pets; my issue is with people who can't understand why I don't love them.


If I greeted visitors to my house by leaping on them stark naked, clawing at their clothes whilst slobbering and rubbing my dick all over them they'd probably have something to say about it. But fail to show unbridled joy when their dog does it to you and you're instantly a pariah. Then there's the overwhelming urge to vomit into the aspidistra as you watch them kiss their dog on the nose or let it lick their face.


:puke:


And God help you if you've got young kids and ever move to intercept one of the bloody things as it comes barrelling towards you. I recently saw a toddler and his parents absolutely terrified in our local park as a huge dog came hurtling at them. The father instinctively stuck his foot out to try to fend it off, at which point the owner (who was under the common delusion that "It's OK - he's friendly" makes it all alright) went completely mental, accusing him of animal cruelty despite the fact that his dog clearly ran into the guy's foot rather than it having been kicked. He turned to me for support, and got none whatsoever.


Plus around here there's also the twice-daily delight of the turd-strewn walk to school with the kids, the relentless yapping or barking at anything and everything all hours of the day and night, the pissing up the side of my car...


And then there are cat lovers. Not the normal people who just happen to have a cat (in my case because I think it's good for kids to learn how to look after a pet) but the socially maladjusted who talk to the bloody things as though they can understand (hint: they can't - it just makes you look deranged) or who bore the shite out of you with interminably tedious stories about their antics, or show you endless photographs of the sodding things the same way new parents show pictures of their babies. And then there's that special moment when you discover that the person whose house you've been eating at for years lets the cat sit on the kitchen work surface, which is fine apparently, because Mr f*cking Snuggles or whatever the bloody thing is called is 'one of the family'.


:o


Pets can obviously be good company for the elderly, but for anyone who is not elderly and who thinks that the relationship they have with their pet is a suitable and sufficient surrogate for human interaction, I'm sorry, but the problem is with you, not with the rest of us.


And as for horses... Jesus! One of our senior managers has a riding stables, and regularly regales me with anecdotes about how intelligent they are. They're not. Horses are f*cking stupid. They've produced nothing in the way of literature, and such art as they have produced (when encouraged so to do by their demented owners) would be considered simplistic and excremental even by Cy Twombly's low standards.


On the other hand, having eaten them a few times I can attest to their being quite tasty.

That's just called poor socialisation training. Dallas is trained so she won't charge into you as soon as the door opens and jumping up is a huge no-no . All things taught from day one of her being with me.

On the other hand, it's interaction nonetheless. In some way us and our pets (particularly thnigs like dogs, rats, pigs etc) are very good at communication despite being differing species. We (in theory) understand when a dog is upset, warning us it is going to bite that little shit child pulling on its tail before it does, we teach it to wait, sit, not jump up, be a service animal so we can use its strong points (sniffing) etc. Pets teach people about life and loss. They are another type of companion to just humans. When mine was a puppy she was a comfort for me after a bad time.

Most f my experience of animals recently had been people who’s dogs are not under control at the park. And I mean almost all of the dogs at the park are not under control.

My son has been knocked down by a friendly dog and I am terrified of some random mutt hurt my kids.

It may be the minority but it does not seem like it. And even if it was the minority that is no comfort to me when my child is terrified.

Then there is the dog mess everywhere, again an minority but a sufficient one that it is everywhere!

At least with dogs most owners clean up their mess. People own cats knowing that their animal is going to crap wherever it likes in other people’s gardens.

One of the worst offenders for the behaviour I described above was from the huge Dogue de Bordeaux belonging to one of my friends. To be fair though, as he's a journalist for the Daily Star it was just as likely to be him doing it as the dog...
