I am fairly new but I must ask the following question

[thefloyd]

How many people in the Lounge or Du for that matter own cats.
I never heard so much talk about cats.

[KitchenWitch]

1. No one hear owns a cat

Their cats own them!

[xmas74]

2. I think most of us are owned by a cat.

My cat died recently so I'm no longer a member of that club.

[KitchenWitch]

5. I am still owned by Tinkie

even though she has crossed over!

:hi:

[xmas74]

6. She still owns me too.

I did pretty much what she wanted in the first place.

[BlueJazz]

30. Cats are Cool....Although I once saw a very funny bumper sticker...

"Want your house to smell like a pile of Shit?...Buy a Cat!

I've got 2 Rabbits and love them but they chew the house apart.. :)

[no name no slogan]

53. I've seen a variation on that

"Want to keep a box of crap in your house? Own a cat"

:)

[AtomicKitten]

3. Mine tell me not to answer you.

and to inquire why you are impugning their existence.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

4. People here HATE cats! It's a wonder a flame war hasn't started yet!!

Just kidding!

[In_The_Wind]

7. I was a happy cat owner until 10 years ago.

I still love them!

[khashka]

8. We all hate cats passionately

We're just very good at disguising it.

Khash.

[xmas74]

11. You are still here?

Help me get to 10,000 please.

[khashka]

13. Back briefly

gone soonly.


10,000, huh? you're on, girlfriend!


Khash.

[xmas74]

16. 47 more to go

I tried to post pics of men in kilts to tj today but everything came up w/ an illegal code(even my photobucket account). It was not fun.

[Az]

9. Cat owners are just more vocal

Its like having a baby. Everyone better agree that your baby is the cutest baby in the world or there will be trouble.

[LisaL]

42. Babies are ugly. Cats, on the other hand... are the cutest things

on the face of this planet.
:evilgrin:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

10. uh oh...

I taut I taw a puddy tat...

[SarahB]

12. I don't have a cat.

But I am cat friendly. (Well, their less annoying than dogs anyway.)

[khashka]

17. Now SarahBelle that is an outright lie!

I happen to know you own a very handsom TomCat all of your own!

My innate discretion stops me from naming him though - he might be recognized.

Khash.

[SarahB]

43. LOL!

I always think of a Tom Cat as someone who indiscriminately spends his seed all over. He's a lot fussier about is taste in women than that. He's too respectful of women (and a little too neurotic- I mean that lovingly because I am far more so) to fit that description.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I love cats.......

but no longer have any......


:shrug:

[yellowdogintexas]

15. This Cat Central!

and we love them dearly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I am mother to two tigers

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. Mr. Thefloyd

Do you have a cat? Do you like cats? This is important before I go to your other thread and provide my photo that will have you drooling.

[thefloyd]

23. My mom had a cat

when I was younger and I hated it. With a passsion. Of Course the stubborn son of a bitch live 19 years.

[Evergreen Emerald]

49. hahaha

serves you right! Tenacity and stubbornness are some of the endearing qualities of cats.

[AirmensMom]

20. Four of them own me.

No one owns them, though.

:hi:

[chknltl]

21. Ex cat owner, still love kittys....

Currently besieged by pitt-bulls. Kitty unfriendly environment I am afraid.

[SeattleGirl]

22. I am owned by 3 cats

Baby Cat, a long-haired calico.
Katie Cat, a long-haired black cat, and spawn of Baby Cat.
And my "old lady", Miss Kitty, The Queen of the Universe. I've had her for 15 years.

[BamaGirl]

24. We have 2 cats who think they are in charge ;)

There are many cat lovers here at DU.

[NNadir]

25. I don't have cats, but I'm raising 2,337,750,258,418,144 lovely bacteria.

I have no preferences among any of them. They are all special to me and all are very cute.

I'd post all of their pictures, but there isn't the bandwidth.

[2nd_class_citizen]

28. Am I crazy for thinking that would make a great bumper sticker?

LOL :D Definitely the funniest thing I have heard all evening.

[NNadir]

31. I don't have time to comment. I have many more bacteria since posting,

and I am trying to give each new one the attention and love it deserves.

[marzipanni]

58. I hear they love to take up residence on and in keyboards.

Convenient, as you can tend them while posting on DU!

[AlCzervik]

26. they'll suck you in and have you wanting one yourself

i want one, hell i've posted pictures of my Dads cats here.

[NV Whino]

27. If you don't love cats,

we will tombstone you.

Seriously, DU seems to have a huge membership of cat lovers. Go to the Demopedia and look at the pet pages.

On edit: not too long ago I had a lovely Siamese mix named Pink Floyd, more commonly known as Floyd.

[NMMNG]

29. I don't own a cat, I merely live vicariously through my best friend's cat

[caty]

32. I have three.

Oh, didn't you know? You must have at least two cats to post on DU. Better hit those shelters and get caught up on your cats.;(

[HEyHEY]

33. I own many, but not for cats...for food

[SoCalDem]

34. MANY cats..

:) welcome to DU :hi:

[Jamastiene]

35. No one "owns" cats.

They own us. Three cats own me.

Welcome to DU, btw.
:hi:

[MrScorpio]

36. No cat here

I don't know what you're talking about

[enigmatic]

37. Mrs E and I are owned by one kitty

[shockra]

[Awsi Dooger]

41. Cats and conspiracies

Those were/are the two topics that amazed me in their frequency and fervor on DU. I don't read the feline threads, so I'm clueless regarding the cat conspiracies.

[OneGrassRoot]

44. 4 indoor cats here.......4-5 strays call backyard home

Wish I had a building out back to house all strays ~ dogs, cats, any creature needing help. Would love to adopt the homeless babies from the Gulf. Huge applause and thanks to all of you who did!!! :applause:

[RebelOne]

45. No cats here. I'm a dog person.

I am owned by a Rottweiler and a little foster mutt that looks like Benji.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

46. We live with 3 cats

We don't own them; we are slaves to their every wish and whim!

Simba, Monty & Morrissey:

[LynneSin]

47. DU helped me when Abbott first adopted me

I was coming home from work one night and he just latched on and came into my home and said "I'm bunking with you buddy!"

I use to snark at cat owners until I became one of them!

[baldguy]

48. Cats don't have owners.

They have servants.

[MissMillie]

50. I am servant to 3 cats

Millie, Siouxsie and Cosmo

They bring much joy to my life.

[wildhorses]

51. Gracie adopted me

and I have been forever grateful. She keeps the mice and the snakes away. I feel much safer having her around. She is very stand offish and in NO way whatsoever could I say I owned her. She comes and goes of her own freewill. I am honored that she always chooses to come back to me. I love her and, I think she loves me too.
I miss my Levon who left me in Kentucky. He got mad at me for moving one too many times. I like to think that he took up with one of the many neighbors that were available...

[Rising Phoenix]

52. so you noticed...

I think I am one of the only non-cat people on the whole board...

[swimboy]

54. I'm one too but our numbers are small.

[pdx_prog]

57. Nope.....no cats here.....don't need one, don't want one..

[Shell Beau]

55. LOL

I have 3 dogs, but the cat lovers here are much more vocal than the dog lovers.



I love both cats and dogs. But dogs rule! :P

[Allenberg]

56. I'm owned by two cats.

I'm beginning to question my position on the food chain. :hi:

[bigwillq]

59. I don't own any cats.

But Cats are cool.:hi:
