@Donotbelieve that's so cool, then you know my pain that they aren't around. He was a pain, but I sure loved the little guy!

My niece's German Shepherd is terrified of my sister's cat. Her cat was declawed in front.
I don't know that I've ever seen a dog slink through a room like that? Also the cat later attacked the crap out of that dog who then launched herself into the nearest lap.

You may think that, but in fact the cat will remember for months afterward and extract humorous revenge at a time of its own choosing. This you're either going to find your expensive new TV gets knocked off the shelf or you'll have your eyeballs clawed out one night. Note: cats have quite a dark sense of humour.

@Jnei

Oh, my! This reminds me of the time my neighbor thought she could make my moms cat dance, even though she was warned not to. Later when sitting at the table the cat tackled her ankle and left some nice scratches. Had to laugh at my neighbor's reaction and remind her that she had been warned. She didn't try it again.

@Jnei Yeah? TV? Just how big a cat are we talking here? On a tangent, I stared down a tiger once. He comes to bars and makes a face at me letting me full well know he didn't appreciate my insolence. Yeah, I appreciated the barrier. Then I told him to get some thumbs.

@Hicks66 That's what you think. Somewhere, that tiger is biding her/his time, waiting for the right moment... (and why worry about getting thumbs when you could just domesticate an ape to do stuff for you?)

@Jnei Oh yeah? Well I'm going back to the zoo, give that tiger the finger and tell him you sent me!

Incorrect. They know it.

@Jnei oh for damn sure!!

I know a few Cat Dads who would argue that.

Also remember as my siblings and I learned - cats are not exclusively girls and dogs are not exclusively boys.....

I have had dogs and cats. Still have cats -- by choice. Would never own a dog again

When my daughters were growing up we had both a cat and dog. The dog was the son I never gave birth to, a golden retriever. He was the BEST DOG EVER. He was cowed by my tiny 3 pound kitten. She'd groom him, that was a wicked hairball. I wanted to implant a recording device in the dog because my troubled child told him all her troubles. That would have saved me some time and energy, but I found out anyway. My oldest is trying to convince her new husband that they need a golden. He has two cats, and he's not sure on the dog thing, They have a baby coming in May. So girls do have the dogs, and guys do have cats. I love my kitty girls because they are OK with my crazy hours. When I retire I want to get a dog.

@HippieChick58 Not long ago I had a conversation with some females of the human race and they noticed that male dogs likes to give love... while female dogs want and crave displays of love. My ex GF went thru 2 females cats that really adored me... wanting to sleep on my chest... males cats never did just the females. But my daughter had 2 female cats that were adorable. There was one that if you left a door open she will go in and close the door behind, later to see her little paw trying to get it open with no luck... the other one will go to you and give you that look of... "the idiot did it again, go and open the door for my idiot sister please".

Me too!
