Susan,
You've said it exactly. I think that dog people like the attention and
companionship. I love dogs as well as cats, but cats give us more freedom
(well, not with the checkbook), plus we're just cat-people. Like Caroline
pointed out, there are many many dog people, but most people I meet
Hi guys,
I could not help but add my two cents here on the
subject of people who are convinced, or announce
openly that they do not like cats:
I noticed early on, that the people who proudly state
that they do not like cats,always speak from the
aspect of misinformation on every level. THESE ARE
I have also noticed that in my dog clients, they always make a point of telling
me how much they dislike cats.
Especially the clients w/ purebreds.
I just bite my tongue, of course.
The cat clients seem to be more compassionate about ALL animals.
And hey, I can bite my tongue w/ a dog lover
I think I inadvertently started this whole debate about dog-lovers vs. cat-lovers and I so didn't mean to do that! I just meant that, sadly, if you need to quickly draw attention to an animal plight that people need to rally behind, a lot of times, it's easier to do so when the plight involves

Hey guys,
Love this thread about people who don't like cats. What Glenda says is so
true. I once saw a saying on a sticker that read, People who don't like cats
have never been loved by one. So now, when I run into someone and we're
casually talking about cats and they say they don't care

Well spoken Glenda--I liked your musings. I find everything you've said very
true. As for that compassionate chip or gene or something missing, my sister

WHENEVER, you can speak up for animals, WHEREVER, you

I read all the information posted-thank you for being an advocate for
animals of all kinds, not just our feline friends. I also passed on
information to others.
Ha! That would have been a funny email to HR!
