Why is it so much easier to love our four-legged friends than other humans? nt

1. They don't talk back and you don't have to cook for them. n/t

[zanne]

6. Yup.

And if they do begin to speak, you have a bigger problem than just other people.

[cwydro]

11. Actually

I DO cook for my dogs. I make their food for them.

Started during the pet food scare and saw such a change in my 12 year old, that I have continued doing so...She is like a new dog.

16. Clearly you do not own cats

My cats talk back to me and although I don't have to cook for them I'm expected to feed them at a certain time, certain brand and mixed a certain with dry food, wet food and Evita's teeth food.

And even though I can't speak Meowese I can tell when those 2 furballs are talking back with their tone of meowing

17. delete

25. I do have two cats...and two dogs. The cats ignore me. nt

[cwydro]

2. They can't talk?

No seriously, they are just love wrapped up in fur (credit for that to another poster in another thread).

They are uncomplicated, they live for the love you give them, they are always happy to see you, they would give their life for yours.

What's not to love?

3. Two words; unconditional love n/t

:)

[AggieGal]

8. That is the best part of having a pet

[AggieGal]

10. dupe, sorry

[Zoigal]

4. They love us

unconditionally despite our faults, bad moods, etc.
They are loyal beyond all reason.

[sarge43]

5. They're not hypocrites; they're honest. n/t

[AggieGal]

7. Animals don't put you on ignore

[Courtesy Flush]

15. Cats do n/t

But they're still easy to love

[DS1]

9. Vicariously hunting rodents through my cat connects me with my inner Mitt Romney

[MissMillie]

22. lol

:thumbsup:

12. One thing I love about my parents' cats

is that it doesn't matter how long you're gone, whether it's 15 minutes or three hours, they're always excited to see you when you come back.

They're good listeners, too. :P

[Inchworm]

13. They still cuddle

When you are reeking of beer and cigarettes and can only open one eye at a time.

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

14. because they love unconditionally n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Because they go for the stupid cheap fucking laugh.

And it makes me want to puke.

[asthmaticeog]

23. I know what you mean.

I once puked from laughing too hard. :hug:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. That depends heavily on which human we're talking about. -nt

[EFerrari]

20. Because the spoken word never comes between you and your love.

:)

[TZ]

21. I understand that very much as well....

:hug: :hi:

[regularguy]

24. I find it easier to love other humans.

:shrug:

[MedleyMisty]

26. Humans suck

My cats don't hate each other based on fur color or their current place of residence or what reproductive organs they have. My cats don't torture and kill each other. My cats aren't wilfully ignorant or hateful or evil. They are good and innocent.

[raccoon]

28. Humans are so into oneupmanship. It seems to me that gets into so much

interpersonal interaction.

[Orsino]

27. Their dominance games aren't subtle...

...or the ones that affect us aren't, and they aren't capable of inventing the convoluted plots we inflict on each other. Makes 'em seem like little angels, and they might as well be.
