99.9999999% of the population shouldn't be allowed to own pets. They're not dolls. You don't have the right to treat them like humans. It's cruel. Cesar Millan is the first person I've seen that understands dogs and it seems the majority of the Internet (and world) is convinced he's cruel to animals... -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I've managed to catch one of his sessions, and the behavioural psychology he applied to the dog on that show is the same as what is used on people. -- |

If it is the same, theres a reason, adult Cats happen to have the same emotional level as a 2 year old human, as do some breeds of dogs. They are little people. Mine sure as hell is. -- |

All I can say is if it acts like one, why not treat it that way? It asks to go outside, I let it (if its safe). It wants attention, I usually give it to him. Same as I would for a child. -- |

My cats go outside freely. One day they will be hit by a car. Until that day they will have lived a good life, chasing mice and birds, climbing in trees. There's not a single scratch on our furniture indoor. Except my youngest kid's bunk bed. That's Lolli's favourite place for a nap. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

My cat lives outside. I let him in when I actually lived at home, but I don't think he goes in much these days. I'll have to have a talk with someone about that, what with winter coming on and him being a fairly old cat. He has two favorite pass-times, depending on whether he is inside or outside. If he is inside he will sit by the door meowing loudly until someone lets him out. If he is outside he will sit by the door meowing loudly until someone lets him in. Stupid kitty.

I'd never had a cat door before, as I've always rented, and my cat spends most of her time indoors anyway. But now that we're living in a house with one, I haven't been able to teach her how to use it, and so have to leave it propped open with a box.

If our cat meows too loud for too long, he gets "The Shoe". I wont explain what that means. In capitalist America bank robs you. |

We have nice neighbours. We actually adopted our older cat from relatives to our neighbour. And the neighbours sometime give food to both our cats. The other neighbour seems to like them, too. She grows things in her garden and she might have noticed that our cats chase field-mice. There's a field-mouse year coming up. People are recommended to hang up nesting boxes for owls. Another way would be to let cats chase the mice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

They prefer that UK 
). I do let him go out a lot though when its warm out. And then he usually sticks near to the house. Pretty much just keeps an eye on his territory. If another male cat wanders in he takes it quite personally. Normally hes such a nice sweet, docile cat, but if another male cat comes near he flips out. Actually acts like a male cat instead of a wuss.
