I like cats. I really do. Especially with a nice red wine sauce...
Errr... Was that outloud? :]
Seriously, I like cats, but everyone of them seems to have one REALLY
stupid flaw. The like to rub there sides against the front of my legs,
WHILE I'm walking. And usually right as that leg is about to move forward,
thus launching the little furball across the room... <sigh> :]
At least most dogs I've met have enough sense to get OUT of the way :]

These dogs have a brain that only has several thoughts running through it's
head... Usually some version of "What's that? What's that? What's that?
GOTTA PEE!!!!" :]
