Are Cats Pointless?

[eyebrows]

Well.....Cat Owners.....

Why?

[tigwig]

what are you talking about?

[Ice.Maiden]

Why what?

[theonlyone]

No , as one of ours is a ratter ..also cats bring a lot of joy in to peoples lives ..fickle at times but normally come back to a nice home ...

[LoftyLottie]

They bring companionship and love to a lot of people and caring for a pet makes us wanted and needed. If cats are pointless then so is every other living creature, including humans.

By the way, what a stupid pointless question.

[smudge]

No, & following on from theonlyone & LoftyLottie's nice posts - our Milly caught a mouse in the garden this morning & presented it to my husband in the dining room!Luckily, he's on holiday this week & managed to put it outside before I came into the room! Aaarrrggg!

P.S. Catching mice on our behalf, is good enough reason to own a cat for me!

Un;ess they are on a farm where they can help to control vermin, then YES.
Those that are kept in an urban environment are useless articles of adornment. They foul gardens and kill song birds.
A dog owner (mostly) walks a dog under control, a bird owner keeps it in a cage or similar etc etc. A cat owner just lets it roam to do it's own thing.

[Ice.Maiden]

Lol - actually IaP - eyebrows are there to stop sweat (and rain, etc.) from running down from your forehead into your eyes.

[LoftyLottie]

Humans roam and do their own thing snug, and in my opinion cause a lot more damage to wildlife and the environment than cats! Perhaps we should keep a lot of humans in control on leads. Well it might help keep the yob culture under control!!

I think mine is............
But she has the Monkey family well trained :o)

[LoftyLottie]

Ooh, and yes it is true that road traffic causes far more bird deaths than cats, so lets ban cars (driven by humans)!

[hollie1586]

cats have boring personalities........dogs are alot happier!

[nightmare]

There is no such thing as a cat OWNER.
You own a dog, but a cat - no.
A cat condescends to let you provide it with food and shelter, thereby saving it extra effort.

[China Doll]

If you humanise them for two seconds then cats are your cool friend, fiesty, independant, good looking and in control. Dogs would be that freind that agrees with you regardless of what you say and tries too hard. Give me cats any day.

(Only exception to the rule is my mothers dog who I quite like, that's it).

[LoftyLottie]

Boring personalities hollie! My cats are far from boring, and just as involved with us as the dogs. They respond as much as dogs, but actually don't do anything they don't want to do, which (in my view) is far more intelligent!

[4GS]

Cats are God's bestest ever creation, I never met a cat I didn't like, I'm not too fussed about dogs though

[mally m]

I hate cats!!

[LoftyLottie]

That's quite acceptable mally m, but it doesn't make them pointless!

[garner]

I wonder why some people dislike cats so much.Is it because they cannot control them and cats can way people up?
