    Haha! That reminds me of the time my cat got chased around the house by his own shit. See, I have really long hair and sometimes my cats will eat a hair off the bathroom floor or something. (I try really hard to keep this from happening.) Of course it's got to eventually come out the other end with everything else. One morning I'm sound asleep and hear my cat tearing through the house like he's running away from something. Unfortunately he ran right across my bed and I realized that he had gone to the bathroom and a piece of crap had come out with one end of a hair imbedded in it - but the other end of the hair was still inside him. So when he took off, the crap followed him, and the faster he ran, the faster it chased him! Ah, the joys of pet ownership! :eek:

    Maybe I shouldn't have told this story. :o

    That's happened with one of my dogs when he was a puppy. Only we had to follow him around with a bag, then help him finish things up.


    EWWWW!!!!!! :eek:

    I have two large dogs, a large husband and a cat in a small apartment. I personally feel that apartment dogs end up with a much better life than many house dogs.

    With a house, it's easy just to let a dog out and have them entertain themselves. Many are left outside and therefore left out of the interaction with their families.

    Having my dogs in an apartment means they're getting a lot more time with me. I have to make sure they get their exercise, so they don't get bored. A bored dog can be a destructive dog. Plus, they really like having the play time with us - even just on the short bathroom breaks.

    There are plenty of dogs that are actually well suited for apartments: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/apartment.htm :)


    BTW - people who don't pick up after their dogs piss me off as well. I always have bags in my backpack, so if I see someone walking away from their pups waste, I can hand them a bag and tell them to clean it up.


    LOL! Oh, I love it... 2 large dogs and a large husband ;)

    I see what you're saying about dogs, I've just never had a dog and I just can't imagine being in a confined space with one... other than when I look after my friend's mini-dachshund (who is completely hyperactive and crazy but very cute).

    People who don't pick up after their dogs... SUCK!

    Naah - its reality if you have a cat. Its probably happened to everyone at least once. We caught our poor little dude and just very carefully snipped the hair - I'm sure its the safest thing to do unless you're just leaving it alone. If the hair is still connected you might injure them inside by doing anything else like pulling or something.

    Used to be strictly a dog person, but I married into a cat...who is now a daddy's girl. :cool:

    I'm a dog person :)

    nothing really wrong with cats, but I'm allergic to them.
    Won't let the light escape from me.

    Both. My folks have always had dogs and cats. My ex was really allergic to fur, so we never had any pets at all. Now...what the hell...I may get both ;):D

    Too bad so many people are allergic to our furry little friends. I found out too late.

    Earlier this year I found out I'm allergic to three things: Grass, CATS and DOGS. :(

    However, I will probably always have pets, so.....

    This fall I get to start on my five year long jouney through the experience of allergy shots. :eek: Boy am I glad I'm not afraid of needles. :p

    I'm allergic to both of them.
    I grew up with cats though.
    Cats are cool.
    They keep to themselves.

    I don't really like dogs.
    They always want attention.
    Always right in your face.
    Never can put any food down near them.
    Much to much work.

    lol..i remember seeing tinsel coming out of a cat's ass...



    Given how much my cats like to eat Christmas ribbon and how indigestible that stuff is, I could totally see how this could happen....

    I'm getting another cat...or kitten soon! Can't wait! :)
  • I have a cat named mama juju. she's the best and a lifesaver too!
    I've had two dogs that I had to take back to SPCA. I love dogs, but damn their a pain in the ass.
    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    Getting a dog is what finalized my decision with my husband in choosing NOT to have kids. I love dogs, but they are WORK.

    Yep. I travel a lot and I know how needy and demanding dogs are. Cats are perfect (for me) because they can be very independent and self sufficient when they need to be.

    A dog person, cats are way too quiet. Dogs tend to be very smart and great security. My daughter wants that weiner dog that's low to the ground, that's a great dog.

    Having a weiner dog barking at birds or the wind? Yeah, that sounds like fun! :p

    My semi-silent cat makes too much noise for me at night. I can't imagine anything louder than that!

    As far as security goes, I'll trust my own instincts an if that doesn't work I'd take ADT or Brinks over a loud dog anyday!

    My doggies have spent most of their lives in apartments. We taught them NOT to bark. However, they do let us know if someone is at the door by doing little growly growls.

    Definitely a cat person. Cats are way smarter. Got a Siamese.

    I have always been a dog person and I have two but when I was young we had a cat twice and they were really cool. Certian Cats are cool. I like the Calico type. I am not into the long hair fluffy type, they are for girls and gay men. lol
    Like Deniro says in Meet the Parents, you have to earn a cats respect, not like a dog for the most part. Except for mine, the one does not like anybody at first and the other loves them all.
    I think my daughter would like a cat. Maybe I will adopt one for her.
    definitely doggies. Cats are of SATAN!!!! :eek:
