Hey Gunner... how about this quote?

" I love cats... they make the best chow mein!" -- Ron

Is that why they rub their stinky ass against your leg? Nothing to do with the Bush doctrine of arrogant domination under the guise of friendliness?

I think that licking your own ass with a stupid smile on your face describes most voters.

"Think of it as your elder brother kicking your ass for letting in the cat.

Just curious, How does one get their cat into the water to retrieve a duck that they just shot. Is it with a underhand or overhand throw? My dog just jumps in by himself and he alerts me when someone comes on to my property. The only thing my cat responds to is the can opener. By that definition, I might not be conservative, But the liberals don't want me or you hunting.

Cats make great reactive targets.

All you need to know about cats and dogs, liberals and conservatives:

The Dog is NOT the liberals pet.

BINGO! That's why I have Dobermans, they work guarding. Plus they keep the tax man away.

Why not? Based on the majority of his posts, he would certainly have pets that eat songbirds, and not mind at all living in a trailer that smells like cat shit.

I like cats very much, but I also keep in mind my OWN quote when considering to adopt another:

"My old dogs have always cared about me, but all my old cats ever did was crap outside of the litter box."

I also knew a guy who wanted to save how many words he had to speak at home: He named his cat "Dammit."

All meant in good humor,

E.B.

tail, keeping the monitor dust free.< They say having a cat is soothing to your health. I don't know about that but I DO know my dog would give his life to protect me or my family; unlike cats which are inherently cowards. But, what-the-heck, if you like freeloaders (not being critical of only the Republicans here Gunner) go for it.

dennis in nca

I know guys who used cats to train their coon hounds.

I don't even want to know....

Speaking of the tax man, the original reason why dogs tails were cut short was so that the tax man could tell a working dog from a pet. Working dogs were not taxed, pets were.

or "Cats..the other white meat"

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Well, the guy that invented Dobermans was a tax collector & needed a guard dog with short hair & cropped ears & no tail to protect him from people that didn't like the tax collectors . There is not much to grab on in a Doberman. Oh this was about cats, dobes like cats ;)

I don't hate cats, nor do I wish harm on cats. But I like dogs that are well trained and well behaved. .

Long ago a neighbor of ours owned a Doberman. It was a mean dog that my Mom wouldn't let me near. He decided to go after another neighbor's cat one day and ended up with some nasty scratches and half his nose shredded. The cat was unharmed and unfazed. I don't believe that Doberman had much to do with kitties after that.

Thinking about that cat reminds me of the killer bunny rabbits in MP and the Holy Grail. The dog still scared the hell out of me, however.
