Dogs who think they're cats. Cats who think they're dogs (there are, like, entire breeds of those). IMHO, the cats have the right idea: dogs are indisputably better than cats, despite the propaganda from Big Cat.

Editorializing in the post! I've warned you all before about Johnny Wallflower's obvious Pro-Dog Agenda.

Flagged for blatant editorializing. JW's overreaching with his pro-dog agenda, which has been blatant in the past but has now crossed a line that even the mods cannot ignore.

Pro-dog agenda or no pro-dog agenda, the Big Cat propaganda made my day on a day I really needed it. There was some true genius evidenced in that link!

Thanks, Dogman!

There is no "Big Cat" Cabal and that isn't propaganda. That entire page is true fact.

There may be no Big Cat Cabal but it's still probably not a good idea to trust them.

Yeah, but there are also those videos of that guy who is total friends with a pride of lions, and he doesn't have that problem.

Main difference? Living in the wild vs living cages. Also, maybe the guy with a GoPro on his head is an asshole.

I'd just like to mention that I went the extra mile to be Fair And Balanced in this post. For example, my first attempt at opposition research resulted in this.

Dogs are for people who need something utterly servile to dominate, cats are for people that enjoy the challenge of getting a response from an aloof being so much better than you you should be glad just to breathe the same air.

darksong: Gimme that precious baby dogcat.

“She’s almost completely mute. She likes to lie there, observing people and silently judging them all day

Tell me, how do you really feel about cats?

We have one cat and one dog. The cat, a tortie, is rather dog-like, much to the utter amazement of some young children who came over to our house. She used to play fetch, and she is pushy about getting petted.

Our dog is a goofy doggo, and sometimes thinks she is a shark (scooting around on her belly, pursuing anyone who might pet her/get mauled by her vicious teeth [not really, but that's what we pretend]).

It's ok, it's not cat people's faults...they've been mind-controlled!

That incredibly Machiavellian cat is crying out for an FPP of its very own, Two unicycles and some duct tape and janey47.

Here's a completely black kitten with a big milk moustache.

My partner recently rescued two abandoned kittens. First day, she improvised a nipple out of a non-latex glove with some evaporated milk to fill it. Now we have proper bottles and formula, but things still get messy when the wee ones get enthusiastic. Which is pretty much every meal time.

The fun part about bottle-feeding kittens is that at that age you have to coax them to defecate. When I bottle-raised a kitten, I had a shirt that was designated the kitten shirt and it got pissed and shat upon several times a day.
