I have a ginger cat called Micky after Micky Horswill and a black cat called Monty.

BTW

My cats are house cats because I like my neighbours and don't want the boys ****ting in their gardens,

My cat goes out but has a litter tray at home. If he is ****ting outside he must be ****ting 3 or 4 times a day which I highly doubt. Cat's like their own space to ****, if they have their own personal clean toilet they'll choose that all day long and make it their only toilet. Cat's need to free to roam imo, to climb and fulfill their exercise needs. If owners trained their cats properly and provided litter for outdoor cats then ****ting wouldn't be a problem. But dead against house cats.

Does no one call their pets after Sunderland players? I used to have a cat called Julio.
My little dog is named Diego (hence the user name), I thought my lad had named him after Forlan and was quite pleased with that. Turned out he named him after the Sabre Tooth Tiger in Ice Age, still happy though, he is a great little dog :emoticon-0100-smile
 
You've got one of these?

Seriously though is it a boxer that you've got? I can't quite make it out from your pic.

No mate, he's a staffie but was born with a dodgy tail so is often confused as a boxer. He's soft and daft as ****e and it's such a shame they get bad press as they're lovely dogs.
 
All dogs are good dogs mate, it's just the knob heads that bring them up wrong that give certain breeds a bad name.
That's not quite true mate some dogs will rip the **** out of anything that moves without any provocation bit like a sheep dog rounding up sheep when it hasn't even seen one before.

A lot of instincts are in the various breeds of animals mate, my point was that most (pet) animals can be successfully trained just like any dog can be trained to be savage very easily. It's all about the owner IMO mate.

That's exactly what I am saying mate its not wise to trust any really no matter who the owners are. <ok>

My dog is as friendly as you could get, but I still always keep him on a tight lead if young children are about because you just never know..It could be a case of him just wanting to play, but if he was to snack at one even in fun it would be dreadful..

It may be as much as 30 years ago. At that time I was showing dogs and very interested in the 'hobby'.
(I showed Cavaliers and a Bulldog).

The specialist 'Dog Press was harping on about a new trend of bringing in from The USA a breed called Pit Bull Terriers.
There was much consternation about this, enough to have The Kennel Club warning Parliament through their 'Liaison Committee' of the potential problems.

Subsequent events gives you some idea about the outcome.

The eventual arrival of The Dangerous Dogs Act also got The Kennel Club in a tizzy when they explained the flaws to our Lawmakers.
Their suggestions for improvements were also ignored.

As a funny aside I believe that The Republic of Ireland introduced their own version of a Dangerous Dog Act.
This included a list of what the Irish Politicians considered to be dangerous breeds.
Near the top of the list was --- The Bulldog.
Any one who has ever met a Bulldog will know that will they MIGHT drown you in saliva or gas you from the rear end, they are, physically incapable of inflicting severe injury with their teeth.

Yes i know mate. Mine is a staffie and if you walked into my house he'd lick you to death, not bite you, but, i can't let him near any other dogs and he certainly never gets near any young children unless he is on his lead and even then i keep it tight. I just wouldn't take the chance even though i doubt he would do anything.
