Why is it so much easier to love our four-legged friends than other humans? nt |

And if they do begin to speak, you have a bigger problem than just other people.

I DO cook for my dogs. I make their food for them.
Started during the pet food scare and saw such a change in my 12 year old, that I have continued doing so...She is like a new dog.

16. Clearly you do not own cats |
|
My cats talk back to me and although I don't have to cook for them I'm expected to feed them at a certain time, certain brand and mixed a certain with dry food, wet food and Evita's teeth food.
And even though I can't speak Meowese I can tell when those 2 furballs are talking back with their tone of meowing

No seriously, they are just love wrapped up in fur (credit for that to another poster in another thread).
They are uncomplicated, they live for the love you give them, they are always happy to see you, they would give their life for yours.
What's not to love?

12. One thing I love about my parents' cats |
|
is that it doesn't matter how long you're gone, whether it's 15 minutes or three hours, they're always excited to see you when you come back.
They're good listeners, too. :P

When you are reeking of beer and cigarettes and can only open one eye at a time.

My cats don't hate each other based on fur color or their current place of residence or what reproductive organs they have. My cats don't torture and kill each other. My cats aren't wilfully ignorant or hateful or evil. They are good and innocent.

27. Their dominance games aren't subtle... |
|
...or the ones that affect us aren't, and they aren't capable of inventing the convoluted plots we inflict on each other. Makes 'em seem like little angels, and they might as well be.
