    Don't get too excited...

    I don't know if any other UK ferners have noticed their news feeds being full of "big cat sighting" stories this last week... Wtf going on!? Suddenly all these photos of very large cats roaming in fields, third story I've read this week, a couple of different cases! I'm sure I read that one expert thinks there are around 200 large cats roaming free in the UK. That's scary!

    I've been paying $20 a month to adopt a tiger through WWF for over a year now. It still hasn't arrived.

    Possibly a Maine Coon. They are pretty big.

    Cats are better than Dogs on the whole. Of course there are some of both species that are real dicks.

    It always fascinates me the way people react to cats. For some reason they really rub people the wrong way. Over the years I have seen some absolutely horrible cruelty offences against cats. Deliberate cruelty, whereas dogs have tended to be neglect.

    Your comment for example, I know it was tongue in cheek, but very rarely would you get someone posting something like that about dogs. I also hear people say things like 'I fucking hate cats" but you don't hear people say that about dogs. Other examples, people pretend to speed up and run over cats, but not so often with dogs.

    I think cats, big and small, are magnificent creatures.

    On the whole cats don't connect with humans in the same way dogs do. Yes they can be cute but I would rarely encounter a cat owner that would describe their pet as a companion in the same way as a dog owner.
    A well trained dog can and will accompany you on your travels, your activities, your trips to the pub and be happy to follow and do what you want.Cats do what they want when they want and demand you to pander to them.
    Bad owners give cats a bad rep as well. Not neutering them, letting them roam and shit in neighbours gardens, hunt wildlife etc.
    Yep I wouldn't miss cats much at all.

    Which says it all. In my experience cat lovers loathe the 'neediness' of dogs and love the 'independence' of cats and vice versa.

    I think the important thing for both species is the owner. Dogs demand more attention so I guess the ones that have bad owners stand out more and give the breed a bad name. Because they need socialising a 'bad' dogs issues are more obvious. A neglected cat will just piss off and do its own thing. That own thing might involve decimating the local bird population but it's out of sight.

    In general, dogs are too needy for me.

    I love the personality traits you describes about cats. I find it amusing, and sometimes annoying, when my cats refuse to do something because I want them to do it, and insist on doing something that I don't want them to do. It's their version of 'fuck you, I'll do what I want"

    Roaming cats don't bother me. Probably because I like them.

    We have dogs next door that bark all day. Now that's annoying.

    The dogs next door are probably barking at your cat.

    Get rid of the cat and the problem goes away. 😉
