any of you ever tried..

Not meaning to offend you cat lovers... but...

Invite a cat into your life.

Especially if you want to introduce yet another openly defiant creature that has no sense whatsoever as to the order of things... Ingracious and ornery. Your home is the one place you should at least try and introduce some hint of functional order. If you are comfortable taking orders from a cat, by all means, get one.

I mean... the nerve... the cat I grew up with was satan incarnate. It would tolerate you petting it... get bored... and maul you on a whim. Yep, that's great! When a dog does that, you put it to sleep. Cats are great around babies too- NOT.

Just saying I'm not a cat person. I'm highly allergic to them anyway, so that doesn't help. I have actually met some very excellent cats, but they are quite rare.

Interesting too- undomesticated cats model the behavior of lions. Male cats will slaughter the entire litters of foreign cats when detected and "conquer" the females. Not the cute little kitty at all...

Not that cats have all bad qualities... I'm sure they are delicious.
