I guess 10,000 years of domestication has not bred out the killer instinct. :0 As a comparison, new research has indicated dogs were domesticated 30,000 years ago.

Satan copies God, never an original thought.

Dogs were created by God.

Cats, on the other hand...

I have a cat my son dumped on me (via his mother) because he lived in NYC and was lonely so he got this cat....

A little clawed needy monster that can’t get the hell out of the way when I walk. Bothers me constantly, tries to wake me up at 4AM every day and then wants to stick her butt in my face when she tries to curl up next to my head. If you touch her wrong, she bites and then comes back 15 minutes later like nothing is wrong. All she wants are treats. An eating, crapping machine that is too damned nosy.

I’m gonna accidentally let her outside one day and let Mr. Coyote get acquainted with her. It will be a terrible tragedy over which I will lament greatly to my son and wife.

They are perfecting the “morning trip you as you go to the kitchen for coffee Ju Jitsu” even as we speak.

Cats are good exterminators...Roaches are non existent in the house.

One cannot breed out instinct.

And an instinct that is necessary to feed oneself is not a neurosis. Sounds like the vegans might be trying to classify human behavior with respect to animal slaughter/consumption as “neurosis” by extension here.

Ever see a cat go spastic for no reason, out of the blue? Neurotic? I believe they are psychotic sometimes.

“A total of 100 cats, from two different shelters in Scotland were used in the experiment, whilst the other animals were examined from zoos and animal sanctuaries in the UK and USA.
‘They’re cute and furry and cuddly, but we need to remember when we have cats as pets, we are inviting little predators into our house,’ psychologist Dr. Max Wachtel told 9NEWS.”

I’m convinced that none of the “researchers” has had a cat, as they seem to know very little about cats in a good domestic setting. Just look at the “subject” cats!

They're also psychic. They know when they're going to be fed.

Here we go. Statistical skewing via poor sampling methods. How many cats WANT to be caged or stay indoors?

Pacing, pacing, pacing not unlike the parrots in cages that pull out all their feathers and repeatedly bob.

I have the sweetest cat in the world. He is outside 100% of the time in the summer and I have no idea where he goes. he comes home to eat. When he does he sits in my lap and purrs like crazy. Then he’s out and about.

Winter or storms he stays in (for snow, too) otherwise he’s gone. Snow Leopards are #1.

There’s actually an hilarious book published that purports to be the secret murder plans of a housecat.

I can attest to this fact.

My boy turned the gas on my stove one night while we were in bed. Filled our entire house with gas. How it didn’t blow sky high I’ll never know other than to say by the grace of God we are ass still alive. The knobs get pulled off the stove now when we aren’t cooking.

And our cat.....he’s still plotting our demise.

"Cats ARE neurotic - and they're probably also trying to work out how to kill you"

Cats sound an awful like my ex-wife.

I didn't like cats until my wife and son decided "we" had to have one. A quarter of a century later, I'm a cat apologist.*

I consider cats to be - on the average - dumber than dogs, but more interesting to have around. Too many people have cats when they aren't equipped to accept a cat's idiosyncrasies, and both they and the cat end up in a standoff.

I suspect that cats (and dogs) are probably less neurotic and malevolent than the people they have to deal with. While every cat I have known had what I term "a cat's temper," I've never had a cat come close to doing me actual physical harm for no reason, whereas I can't say that about dogs.
