1. Purrfect!

I love it!

This is going on my Facebook status.

Thanks!

2. ahhhh.

3. My black cat has asked me to respond on her behalf.

She objects to these aspersions being cast on her kind. She subscribes to the Mark Twain philosophy about the feline race: "If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve the man but deteriorate the cat."

11. I wholly agree.

I just got a chuckle out of it. A non-catlover's sardonic witticism.

4. Equal opportunity hate?

I think I have been very lucky with my feline friends.

10. Me, too

Mine have all been sweethearts.

But the truth is, many people who aren't cat lover don't understand them. You have to have lived with them to gain an intuition about them.

And I ascribe to the "more I know people, the more I love my cat." (And probably vice versa!!)

5. I don't really like that. All the kitties I've had (about 16 over the years) have been lovebugs.

I think most cats are friendly and affectionate if people know how to treat them well and how to interact with kitties.

[hifiguy]

6. Agreed. Both of my kitties have been rescues

and both have been sweet boys who love to snuggle and purr.

7. Both my roomie's kitties have been rescues

My roomie and his now deceased companion rescued them from a drainage ditch when they were about a week old; otherwise, they would have drowned. There was a third kitten who sadly did not survive

Apparently, from what I was told, they either someone put them there to be left to die or they were feral kittens left there by their mother while she went out hunting. They're now 4, almost 5 (brother and sister), and get along with Max, but the female, Sammy, doesn't get along with Ruby.

12. I agree

But only because I'm a catlover. I think most non-cat persons would nod their heads agreeing with it. I just thought it was funny.

I think it's fear--you know, the kind where people who don't understand cats think they're plotting to take over the world.

[Curmudgeoness]

18. Or maybe it is that they don't fall all over themselves

to give you loving. Cats love on you, but not like dogs----they are more subtle.

And they would plot to take over the world, if they could figure out how to open a can. As it is, they are satisfied to leave us share their space.

8. He's just pissed because his bowl is empty.

It'd also be nice if you'd scoop the litterbox too...

9. Poor cats, always getting a bad rap.

I never have figured out where that reputation came from......probably cat haters.

[hyphenate]

13. I think that might be true

But as I said above, I think it's also fear.

[pa28]

14. Oh yeah. I get it now.

I call my cat "cleo". My cat calls me "the help".

I think we're clear on our roles now.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Awwww! So true...

My friend in rescue is irritated when people judge cats by their colors. Two of my three cats have happened to be black... It was only good luck for both of us when they found me.

[Tripod]

19. Very funny!

We have a black cat named Jet!

[baldguy]

16. The neighbor cat is a stone-cold killer who has murdered many birds, squirrels & rabbits.

But he just LOVES to snuggle & get petted by people. And he's not picky about who does it.

[rug]

17. That's not true of all cats.

20. Heil Kitler!! nt
