In other news...

A cat with anthrax is incapable of transmitting the infection, but a cat's coat, once contaminated with anthrax spores, could in some cases pose a risk to health.

Good point!

I also don't like the way they have too much dignity and no sense of humour, or even fun. Cats, I mean, not their owners.

And I don't like the way we keep and support so many of the blighters that they are actually a blight on the wild animal populations of Britain, killing an estimated 300 million birds and animals every year. Predators are part of nature, but in very small numbers indeed.

I love cats - I've got two at the moment but have had as many as six at one time.

The dignity of cats is one of their attractions - I think you either like it or don't. Only humans have a sense of humour but cats have fun, lots of it, normally when tossing mice in the air to break their backs or play fighting with each other. It only takes 2 generations (less than a year) for Timmy or Tiddle's kittens to revert to full feralness. Sharing your home with a "tame" wild animal is another attraction - even though they always make me feel like I'm doing them a favour.

Well fed domestic cats do catch birds and mice but usually only the old ones. We get a few mice and the occasional bird but not many - and we have loads of wild bird feeders in the garden.

What's wrong with Manbearpig ?

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.

Me too, but I couldn't eat more than one.

The missus is a real cat lover, so I have to tolerate them. We have four and what amazed me is that they all have a very distinct personality. They are very different to each other.
They also communicate quite well, and they have a large vocabulary. (well, larger than a non-cat person would imagine)

I hate the little b@stards
