        I like dogs too, but cats are just the nuts...

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          How come cats dictate your life, but not dogs?

          I've never had to take a cat for a walk.
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            yes, but your cat will obliging jump up and down on top of you till you get out of bed at 6am to give him his food.

              Neither,

              Keeping dogs or cats, or any animals for that matter is little more than animal incarceration and cruelty. It's not necessary in this day and age.
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                I can live without them myself. Unfortunately for me, Mrs Gonzo is keen on cats and now we have moved out of London it will take all the "putting my foot down" that I have in me to restrict it to two of them.

                I think I am closer to my agricultural roots in my attitudes - animals should be kept for food and / or for work, but they have no use beyond that.
