ORIGINAL: KG Erwin
I picked this up off the web. Every point is true:
Cats respect your personal space. They do not jump on you when they're obviously not welcome.
Cats come with built-in potty-training. You don't have to teach them to respect the carpet.. they just do.
Cats don't yowl at the moon, the doorbell, the sound of other cats, or the garage door opener.
Cats tend to keep their stank-ass breath out of your face.
Cats don't get all worked up if you leave them alone for a few days.
Cats don't take **** from people. They have strong personalities.
Cats are small enough to share the bed with, even if you've got somebody else there with you.
An addendum -- cats don't bark at odd hours, keeping both you and your neighbors awake.
One more item -- cats are capable of giving themselves their own baths.
KG...I love my cat but I gotta draw the line somewhere. He doesn't sleep with me. I think he prefers it that way too. He sleeps on my bed when I'm not in it, but when it's sack time he finds his own spot. He NEVER sticks his face in mine in the morning. He's smart and knows that would result in something unpleasant.
My cat may not take s h i t from other people but he takes s h i t from me. I'm the boss and he knows it. He does what I say. I may have to say it a half-dozen times but he eventually gets the message. (Until the next time, that is.)
He doesn't bark like a dog but he sure makes a hell of a lot of racket at night sometimes. Sounds like he's doing carpentry work or something. I have to get up and yell at him occasionally. He just slinks off, satisfied that he made me have to get up.
And yep, he knows where to crap and is very considerate about that. It's the damn hairballs and vomit that drive me nuts. My one wish is that he would throw up in the litter box instead of a new strategic spot every time.
My cat and I get along great. We're buddies and he's more like a dog than most think cats could be. I'm pretty realistic about my cat. He's as good as a dog but he sure isn't purrfect. (Sorry bout the pun, couldn't help myself.)
