Cat in plane

I assume the purpose is to drop them at altitude to see if they really
do always land on their feet?

I hope this is a joke. Cats are not likely to try to hump your leg,
drool on you or your stuff, have terrible breath, fart like hell, or
crap indiscriminately. They beat the hell out of dogs. This is a very
touchy subject, as you might well imagine.

Hmmm, the wife's cat sneezes on me all the time, has terrible breath,
trys to chew on me when attention is wanted and farts on a regular basis.

Sounds more like a which is better, Coke or Pepsi, proposition.

What clinches the cat versus dog debate for me is the sure knowledge that
when a cat is looking at you, it's only trying to figure out how to eat
you -- if only you weren't so danged big!

No, it's not. It's trying to figure out why you can work the can opener and it
can't.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

My daughter contends that cats spend most of their time with their brains on
"standby" to preserve what few neurons they possess. Thus a cat that appears
to be studying you is in reality just zoned out.

No cat has ever gone out of its way to attack me without provocation.
Dogs did twice when I was a child.

More people are killed by dogs every year in the U. S. than by sharks
and poisonous snakes combined. That clinches the cat versus dog debate
for me.

Well, there are "dogs" and there are "DOGS."

Everything from a tiny Peek-a-poo to a giant Rottweiler is counted as a
"dog". I, for one, regard the breeding of giant dogs for in-home use to be
goofy in the extreme. It's cruel to the animal, and can result in
disasters like you mention.

The equivalent in the cat world would be to try to keep a full-sized cougar
in your home -- which few are dumb enough to try.

With good reason, I might add. Back to my original point.

One of the dogs that attacked me as a child was a Cocker Spaniel. Size has
nothing to do with the canine inclination to violence, as anyone who has been
bitten by a Chihuahua could tell you.

No, it wouldn't. House cats and cougars are different species. Unlike
domestic dogs and cats, cougars have not been subjected to thousands of years
of breeding by humans for tameness. Apparently, we still have a way to go
with dogs.

Your original point was that you could read cats' minds, and this amazing
power informed you that cats harbor secret carnivorous yearnings for humans.
Pardon me if, absent any evidence that this is so, I have my doubts.

How many people keep sharks in their house as pets. I think you are
comparing apples and oranges.
