    Thumbs down Dogs are good though :-D

    FM BANNED for simply restating the primary reason cats are SUCK, by comparison:

    Give a dog food, shelter, love & companionship and it sees you as an object to worship.

    Give a cat food, shelter, love & companionship and the conclusion it draws is that IT is an object to worship.

    Cats are ungrateful leeching narcissistic opportunists on their best day ever & those qualities are unappealing to me in people or pets.
