I don't really understand the attraction of cats. They're vicious and selfish predators and almost impossible to train out of this kind of thing. Also, they are a big reason why there are no birds in the suburbs and why some small birds are endangered.
My cat won't go outside. YOu can just leave the doors and windows open, and he will only look. He does like to go out in his carrier though. He is a fast and strong persian cat that we never had declawed. Anything that comes into the house, he murders.
If it moves, compile it

Pretty much answered your own question there ;) They're so damn arrogant, that they make you feel all warm inside when they decide to tolerate your presence. Until such time as they get so happy they dig their claws into your legs and launch themselves off of your bloodied thighs. What's not to love? I hear Steve Jobs had the same effect on people. There is a parasite that reproduces inside cats' stomachs (all sizes of cats - housecats to lions) and when it infects, say, a rat, it makes the rat enjoy the smell of feline urine instead of, as usual, running away from it, because the parasite "wants" to get back inside a cat's stomach (via consumption of said rat). There is a hypothosis that the same parasite can infect humans, causing an irrational desire to be around cats. Lots of cats. Thus, cat people. I hear Steve Jobs had the same effect on people.
Look at me still talking when there's science to do When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you

My mother-in-law will be down your way, soon. I'll tell her to drop by.

Paintball gun loaded with naga jolokia-filled rounds. If that stuff can keep elephants out of villages, it'll keep a cat out of a garden. Failing that, I read once that marking your garden boundaries with urine from a larger feline is the way to go, with Lion being the best. Surely everyone's got an old jar of Lion's piss in the cellar?

Well, they (generally) smell better than dogs, they eat less and they make a lot less noise. You don't have to take them for a walk when it's cold and wet and dark - they sort out their own exercise. And they bury their waste - you don't have to walk round with a pocket full of poo if you aren't near a suitable bin. They don't fawn all over you - you have to earn respect instead. And they purr nicely when you do what they want! :laugh:

That's also mankind for you. ;)
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
