Cats vs People

sorry cats

cats

yeah, cats.

I was apologizing to the cats

this was the first thread fwiw

am abstaining, cats are very nice but i think their partisans can go a little too far

can't vote for people because of holocaust etc

Cat, hello where's my food, oh and i shit in that tray in the kitchen, clean it up for me and i'll see you same time tomorrow.

dogs > people > cats

I like cats, though, don't get me wrong.

people > dogs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cats

Cats are cute but can't see the attraction beyond that

can't vote for people because of holocaust etc

lol

can't spell holocaust without c-a-t-s
makes u think

The only time I am tempted to believe in (a benevolent) god is when I contemplate the existence of cats.

In my experience? Cats, no question. Still haven't worked out the whole people thing, but cats are easy enough to get along with.

I am probably going to end up whatever the male equivalent of crazy cat lady is. All riddled with toxoplasmosis, basement full of catnip under grow lights, every interior surface covered with hair...

Uh interior surfaces of house/apt, not THAT crazy.

i love cats, but if you're a bird then cats must be worse than hitler

Cats are only following orders

hitler's willing executeyaaaahs

cats who have some dog-like qualities are where it's at. cat who will play fetch, seeks out your company, and knows via just a stern vocal reprimand that he's doing wrong>>>>people.

cats are cool irl, but in my dreams they fight me. still cooler than people overall

I think we can all agree that kittens are way better than babies though, right?

dogs > > people > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > cats

If cats don't win this one I'm blowing up the world

how much dynamite you got sunny?

if cats win this after dogs lost the last poll im going to go on a pol pot style indiscriminate sb rampage

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Victory!!

But you can't fuck a cat. Well, I guess you can, but you really shouldn't.

never been so disappointed in ilx tbh

^^^^^

oh, i've never been prouder.

^^ agreed. cats rule so hard. dogs rule too, but a lot less than cats. people, continue to eat fried chicken and vote repub

this is really the key:

cats who have some dog-like qualities are where it's at. cat who will play fetch, seeks out your company, and knows via just a stern vocal reprimand that he's doing wrong>>>>people.

if you have a "bad" cat, then you don't know how to work with cats. you made a mistake by getting a cat. I've never had a cat who didn't like to play -- yes, even playing "catch" in their elder year. In fact, cats will dote on their owners to the point of annoyance!! Like, like Robert De Niro says in 'Meet The Parents', you can basically shout any dog down. They are pussies. At the same time, for better or worse, you *can't* shout a cat down!! Now, this could be bad if you have a bad cat -- but that's probably your fault anyway. that you have a bad cat. If you have a good cat, he won't leave you alone even when you want him too. now amount of "go aways!" will dispel the friendly beast

xp - jus so u know, my cats can & will go to absurd lengths to eat any chicken, fried or otherwise (fried chicken rules anyway tbh).

oh *fried* chick def rules. it's just not an everyday staple. more like a once a month treat. for me + the kittehs

mah kittehs get baked chick on the reg. Me and the kittehs don't eat da fried so much, I leave that to the Christians that patronize tha Chik-fil-A and a vote for tha Repubs and close ona the Sundahys so they cana prevent the abortions..

My cats vote Republican.

They also eat their own vomit. What can you do?

most cats (and dogs) rule.

not really true for people. this guys's got the right idea. (3m15s in)

Your cat might have already infected you with toxoplasma gondii and now you are just a puppet for a colony of parasites that have taken over your brain =^_^=

all equally horrible

all equally overrated

Postmortem predation, toxoplasma gondii, 33 species of bird extinctions, piss that smells like ammonia, cat litter trays, disemboweled mice in your kitchen ...

Those fuckers back in the day that decided to domesticate cats rather than sloths or the smallest spider monkeys, didn't look at the big picture.

plants ftw

that toxoplasma shit has been debunked numerous times:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/22/toxoplasmosis-brain-cancer-cat-owner_n_1822231.html

At least show a good example of a debunking, not some HP rubbish.

that debunks the idea that the toxmoplasmosis that cats give cat owners causes brain tumours, not toxoplasmosis transferrence itself

The hubris of humans thinking that they are immune to what every other species on the planet isn't because?

http://www.vet.cornell.edu/FHC/health_resources/toxoplasmosis.cfm

Because cats only shed the organism for a few days in their entire life, the chance of human exposure is small. Owning a cat does not mean you will be infected with the disease. It is unlikely that you would be exposed to the parasite by touching an infected cat, because cats usually do not carry the parasite on their fur. It is also unlikely that you can become infected through cat bites or scratches. In addition, cats kept indoors that do not hunt prey or are not fed raw meat are not likely to be infected with T. gondii.

In the United States, people are much more likely to become infected through eating raw meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables than from handling cat feces.

you don't seem to understand what 'debunk' means

infected meat is more likely but cats are still a toxoplasma vector, evidently

in terms of this thread that is still a net + for cats because from an anthropocentric perspective, other people are a far more lethal vector

i'm not arguing that transference doesn't happen, just that the frantic, scaremongering tone of all the 'your cat is making you crazy!' articles is unwarranted.

so yes, fine, forget the word 'debunked.'

Is that you talking now?
