Though I’m a dog person, I was conned into taking on a cat that turned out to be the meanest thing I’d ever seen. Still I kept it. But then I started dating my eventual wife, and the cat — which attacked everyone who entered my apartment — was getting to be a liability. I was just wondering what to do about him when, one day, he got sick. Took him to the vet who gave me some pills — and the next day he died. I swear those pills were supposed to cure him, but I gotta admit, I wasn’t too broken up about it. We have a dog now.
Cats and dogs can be best friends (mine are), but you have to get a puppy and let your calm, unflappable cat teach him that it is the pack leader. Any other scenario just won’t work!

The ’it’s just a pet’ culture is disturbing.

I’d never give up my pet or expect a man to do that either.

A good way to start a committed relationship is to watch someone casually cast aside another commitment…

I saw a TV documentary that demonstrated that house cats are gradually becoming more like dogs.
