No you don’t. You secretly admire their ‘f**k you’ attitude to anything and everyone.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
As soon as a water pistol based sentry cannon is available, we will be installing one in the back garden.
It will hopefully stop the foxes from shagging there in the summer too..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I was born in the year of the cat, so I should have some of their characteristics. I do admire their ability to walk away when that's the right thing to do, despite being armed to the teeth.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNo you don’t.

Yes I do. I hate them whilst secretly admiring them.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNo you don’t. You secretly admire their ‘f**k you’ attitude to anything and everyone.
I also torment them when I've had ten pints of ale by buzzing them with my remote controlled chinook

They'll fight if they need to. A few years ago a notorious cat hater in our village managed to grab hold of a 3 month old kitten that was playing about in his garden. The cat hater is now known to everybody as ‘scarface’.Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostI was born in the year of the cat, so I should have some of their characteristics.

I think you'll find they enjoy it, otherwise they'd just wander off and go to sleep somewhere.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostYes I do. I hate them whilst secretly admiring them.

A couple of years ago we had a 10 year old kid and his mum from down the road knock on our door. The kid had 4 nice red lines down the side of his face and was crying. His mum was furious.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThey'll fight if they need to.

"We want to have your tabby cat put down as it attached my Toby (or whatever his name was)" she went on.
Now admittedly the cat was the neighbourhood bruiser and could be a little mean but would never do anything like that. My wife knelt down to Toby and said "Are you sure you didn't do anything to make the cat hurt you?"
"Well I might have pulled the cat's tail....." came the reply....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Cat - Yes. And dogs, horses, snakes, chinchilla's, rabbits, guinea pigs ( hi Pogle
) in fact pretty much all animals, and they seem to like me most of the time.
The only ones I really dont get on with are spiders.

Spiders dont really have personalities. The only spider I ever knew with a real persona was that one from Harry Potter, you know , the talking spider. And Shelob.Originally posted by DaveB View PostCat - Yes. And dogs, horses, snakes, chinchilla's, rabbits, guinea pigs ( hi Pogle

My friend would disagree.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostSpiders dont really have personalities.
They can be quite "bristly" at times.
And that "creepy thing they do with their legs" is just a show.
When unobserved, they actually tap dance their way along.
Which explains why they are often found near or in sinks.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.
