Off Topic Cats or Dogs

I have always been an animal lover.

Both my mother and father had pets when they remarried. My father had a whippet and a yorkshire terrier, these both got on with a loveable ginger tom.

My mother had a fantastic white poodle that I bought her many years ago.

Having always lived in a flat it is difficult to have pets. This is good in a way as dogs can be a problem for looking after if you go away. With a cat just have a cat flap and you leave the fridge open so they can help themselves to milk.

 

Dogs , they need walking and often take you to the pub

 

Nothing against dogs but I'm a cat person myself. We always had them at home when I was young and my old mum still has a few. They don't need quite as much attention as dogs, and are generally a bit easier for older folk to look after.

The occasional frog, mouse or small songbird brought in can be a nuisance, and at this time of year moggie hair can set off my hayfever. But being a flat tenant I don't have any pets of my own.

 

I've had 2 dogs, both mongrels with a lot of Border Collie. Nowadays mongrels are called silly names like cockapoo, or labradoodle, and cost a lot of money. I know someone who just paid £500 for a mongrel, aka a Chorkie/. Work it out for yourselves. Just got a cat now.

 

I've had both, no comparison in my view. Cats are just after food, dogs are man's best friend.

Planning on getting a couple of dogs when I retire.

 

I used to take my dog to Selhurst when we played there. Couldn't have done so with a cat.

 

I prefer dogs as long as they are cooked properly.

 

Hot dogs?

 

Theres probably a joke looming about @baraettmattesvensson liking elderly pussies ?

 

Particularly ginger ones.

If I was a dog I'd be a Labrador, cuddly and adorable.

I was in Sweden once and went greyhound racing. The first race was run by wippets, that was a very strange experience.

 

In Whitstable at the moment and there are dozens of our four legged friends enjoying the weather.

 

Did you beat any of them?

 

Got stuck in the traps mate.

 

Dogs every day of the week, but my cat lived for 19 years so I was upset when she called it a day

 

Cat's for me .

Nothing against Dogs , but Love Cat's . If you give them attention , they give it back .I will just add though that IMHO the first few days interaction with the Kitten is VITAL for bonding a relationship , otherwise they can be quite aloof .

I think you get longer to bond with a Puppy .

 

I have always gave pussies a lot of interaction.

I can feel a Mr van Gerwen joke looming.

 

Mrs Slocombe has done that one to death.

 

You’ve always had to pay a lot of money for pussies

 

Here’s a picture of a dog called Chippy.
