There aren't a whole lot of fish that hop the fence and come poop in your flower bed.

If they did, I might be impressed.

And I can see how that would be irritating....but again, that's an experience I haven't had with cats. If my cats were pooping in someone's flowerbed, I would understand if the person told me they didn't like them....but my cats have never pooped anywhere but their litterbox (they're indoor cats.)

More power to the owners of the indoor cat.

I've never understood why there are leash laws for dogs (a good law) and penalties for not cleaning up after your dog ($250 fine in Phoenix), but cats can roam free.

When was the last time a cat mauled and killed a child and then crapped on the sidewalk?

Well, there is that.

The thing that cracks me up (and I grew up as an avid horse rider) is that there are penalties for not cleaning up after your dog, but no penalties for not cleaning up after your horse. I'm not saying I think horse riders should have to clean up, since it would involve dismounting, remounting and a really big bag....but still it cracks me up.

Reminds me of a riff by George Carlin. He marveled that there's a $50 fine for spitting in the New York Subway system, but puking is free!

My beloved Boris is the most loving, devoted pet. He comes when called - usually running - and arrives with a little vocal trill. He likes to play games, especially peek-a-boo. His most favorite thing in the world is to lay on top of me and nap. He follows me around the house from room to room. If he's sound asleep on the couch and I tip-toe upstairs to check the dryer he's almost always rushed past me to wait at the top of the stairs before I even get halfway up. He knows several commands.

Sasha's more typically cat-like, but I love her anyway. Although she's a little too stupid to truly pull off the alleged feline aloofness.

Cats stay crispy, even in milk

When our neighbors cat was mauled to death in their front yard, I found out that there ARE leash laws for cats. That was what the SPCA told me when I called in to report it and turn in the dog who did it.

I spent way too much time looking at the kitty cartoons. I really do like cats, and would love to have one. I just don't want it to be in the house, not just because of the girls, but our cats were always outdoors cats. Since I don't think it would be fair to the cat, or the neighbors, we won't have a cat. Also PoohDog has a thing about cats. The last one got his nose before he treed it.
