:laugh: Talking of cats, the type of rabbit we had as a pet (Netherland dwarf), used to occassionally kill cats. My parents had some in the States and one day a cat had taken one of the babies, the male, who stayed outside in the garden then killed the cat during the night. Embarrasing when you had to tell the neighbours how their cat died.

You've gotta watch those little snappers :) Best I've heard of is my father's Lab who used to kill moles by listening to them tunneling, when she figured out where it was she'd pounce hard with both feet. If she walked of it means a guaranteed kill, if she started digging it meant she'd wounded or (even rarer) missed it completely. Ed

I tend to agree with dogs needing more space than many people provide them, however apartments can be a decent place to keep a dog if it's a Pomeranian or some other frou frou breed and you let it out for some exercise daily. BW
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Those are the breeds i just flat-out don't like. :-O I'd compare 'em to rats, but i've lived with a pet rat, and frankly rats are easier.

Dogs have an even bigger undisputable advantage, they are useful ;P. And don't even think about saying cats kill mice, Sandy, our lab will hunt down & kill mice. As well as going all the normal gun dog things, fetching items, tidying up her toys, taking messages to members of the family, digging (with permission) potatoes from the garden and more... Ed

Cats and computer programmers are kindred spirits[^] :laugh:_
- They are both intelligent.
- They are both naturally inquisitve.
- They are both independent.
- Neither have any respect whatsoever for authority.

What experiments have you been performing :~ ? :) On a more serious note one of my friends from primary school had a cat (well we think it was a cat) that was extremely fat but incredibly athletic and agile, it was able to jump out of the kitchen window from the floor (a distance of ~8ft). But this cat used to have geat fun sitting on swivel chairs, spinning round watching bats and when the bat flew overhead it'd jump up and catch it. But I still prefer dogs ;P Ed

Our family's got a nickname for Chiwawas (if that's how you spell it), Rats on Wheels. Once, we were at the Royal Welsh and this huge pompous lady walked past with one and my sister who was only ~10 at the time called out, look Dad a Rat on Wheels. :doh: You should have seen the look on the womans face :laugh: Ed

You've obviously never had a cat. Dogs have owners; cats have clients.

Yep - never saw a house cat retrieve a duck, herd cattle, or tear a burglar's arm off... You just did not have a big enough cat. One of my college buddies who lived in San Bernardino had a mountian lion as a pet. No one ever burgled that house - EVER.

From an old questionaire to determine if you are a 'Real Man'. (Ran across it quite a while ago, and have never forgotten this question): Do you prefer: a) Cats b) Dogs c) Dogs that eat cats. Of course, the answer for 'Real Men' was c).

Cats every time. Dogs are too excitable and jump up and slobber and bark and crap on the pavement. Remember: a dog is not just for Christmas Day. If you're careful, there'll be enough left over for Boxing Day too...
On the other hand, along these lines, one of my friends told me that 'at least the dog does not bury his poo'. He very much disliked stepping into the 'stealth' turds buried in the yard by the cats.

cats have an undisputable advantage: they don't bark (though mine barfs from time to time..)

No need to start a cats vs. dogs war; simply vote 5 if you like dogs or 1 if you like cats. If you like both, vote 3; if you like neither, move along, folks. I like dogs myself. :) Cheers, Vikram.
