Of course they will still do stupid things that annoy you when you aren’t watching.
Like get inside?

No. Like allow themselves to be dressed in an opposition jersey and handed pish.

Other examples, people pretend to speed up and run over cats,
I've got a mate who speeds up and swerves at cats on the road, swears it's the best way to avoid hitting them.

I always thought cats were a bit dull compared to dogs. Fun to pat and play with but not much connection with humans. That changed when Mrs M moved in with her cat and realised they were just as fascinating and intelligent as a dog.
Our two cats will join us when we are gardening or sitting outside and make of point of being in the same room with us - one even goes on walks with us.
I like their independence and the fact the relationship is a bit more equal than with dogs. A cat will greet you when you call it's name, but won't just sit there waiting for orders like a dog.

We've got cats and dogs, and they're all great, but cockatiels are also a lot of fun if trained well.
We've got a cat and dog as well, along with the chickens, ducks and geese, but the wife wants a parrot (of some description) to add to the menagerie.
I suggested a Kakapo but will probably have trouble getting one (great "pets" apparently for want of a better word). Very cool critters.
My flatmate and I did have a Cardinal Lory in PNG for a while (flatmate rescued it, Lory had clipped wings so was fucked on its own). Smart as, and funny as well as being a misogynist. In spite of being a female, she just hated women. Really funny jealousy thing. When we left PNG she got sent to the Bronx zoo, so I went to see her there on a work trip, but they had sent her away due to being a psycho and attacking everybody and everything in sight.
Loved that bird.

@snowy bugger you didn't get to see the bird at the zoo. Would have been interesting to see if she remembered you.

Apart from wanting to see her, I was intrigued as well. Would have been over 25 years so she would have been about to shuffle off this mortal coil. Could well have been more Norwegian Blue than a PNG Crimson.
I'm guessing yes to remembering, but I am anthropomorphic.
I would then have to decide whether she attacked me (like everybody else) because she had no idea who I was, or because of the "why did you leave me, you prick" factor. Hard to know with women. Birds ay.

I could have just posted this in the bitches thread seeing as you lot have turned this into some weird cat vs dog which I'm sure we've had before.
How I get accused of derailing threads I'll never understand.This is about huge roaming cats that could rip our throats out at any minute people!

@r-l sorry, back on topic

@dogmeat I'm not one to be anti homosexuals (I don't like the word homophobic) but really? Oh well, if that is the way they feel...good for them.
I have seen lions mating in the wild though and it is quite a brutal affair, those two seem to have calmed things down a bit.

@Virgil can we have some sort of nomination for weirdest and creepiest post cos I’d like to offer up this one right here.
