Why do women love cats?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Ever since the thread that resulted from someone, with beastliness aforethought, maliciously running over a cat, I've been wondering why women love cats?

I adore cats but know many women who don't! I seem to have acquired 4... I find them to be great company but at the same time they are fairly low maintenance and self sufficient, as long as they are fed and watered etc.

I grew up always having cats, ranging from 1 to 5 at various times, so I guess I just can't imagine not having cats around the house.

My fella says that if I walked down the street and there was a cat on one side and a million quid on the other, I'd notice the cat first.

The difference between a cat and dog?

Die falling down the stairs at home and a dog will lay loyally at your side until someone turns up.

A cat will lick its lips and eat you.

Ah, but that is the one thing you do have to do to keep your cat isn't it? Stop feeding them or they find a better food source they bugger off, neighbour's cat living with us to testament to that.

Toxoplasma gondii...

It's a brain parasite that causes the cat's prey to become attracted to cats.

This allows the cat to catch and eat the prey, in turn this allows the parasite to develop, it is then expelled in the cat's faeces where it ingested by the prey species completing it's life cycle.

Research believe's that in humans it causes an exaggerated attraction to cats.

It is estimated that between 30 and 50% of people in the developed world is infected...

So basically if you love cats it's because you have licked your cat poo fingers...

That's very offensive, why should you be able to shoot cats??? You are a sick person wishing to cause the death or serious injury and pain to an animal. It is against the law for a reason, it is wrong. Maybe the RSPCA should pay you a visit to discuss your cat murdering views. Also maybe the police should call round to discuss your wanting to shoot innocent things and check you don't have a gun. Think before you post.....

I don't wish to hurt them, like I don't wish to hurt the rats or rabbits I shoot. The aim is a quick painless death.

I would never shoot a cat as it is illegal as you said.

Cat's, like squirrels, parakeet's are an invasive species. They decimate native birds, small mammals and reptiles.

Unfortunately selfish people like yourself, inflict cats on the British wildlife and people with total disregard.

I have had pets attacked and property damaged by cats being on my property against my wished.

So I suggest that maybe you should get off your high horse and think before you post...

Some men love cats too. I have family members who are male -including my adult son-who bought cats.

I like a lot of animals;cats are,in general,relaxing and easy to look after(unless you get a psycho cat who wants to attack everyone in the house,for fun). They go off and leave you alone until they want feeding,or they sit with you,sleep and purr.

Dogs are lovely friends; I love my little puppy,but he's a dim-witted,destructive,needy beggar. Oh and the cats kill mice,he's scared of them.

I also like tropical fish,but I think I would kill them.

Another 'mad cat lady' here. I have 3 currently and have had up to 5 at a time - am possibly thinking of 2 more when we get back from holiday - and always go to a cat shelter to get my pets.

I like them because they're independent, gorgeous to look at and stroke, have an air of mystery about them, are less responsibility than a dog (though I also like dogs) and great company. Sounds ridiculous, but having always had cats they've been a comfort at points in my life when I've been feeling down.

Oh - and I'm very aware that some people don't like them - as is their right - and am at great pains to speak to my neighbours, confirming I have no issue if they need to chase them (*humanely*!!) off their garden, e.g. squirting them with the hose and am also happy to clear up any mess they leave - I've also offered to buy deterrents. However, we're lucky to have understanding neighbours and our cats have never caused any problems.

So I take it you don't eat meat or wear leather shoes, belts etc...

There is a need for balance, no it's not perfect but at least I have the strength of character to be able to kill something and put it on the table, unlike people who pretend they are superior because their meat comes from a factory.

I take you would be happy to pay more for food to cover the cost of contaminated food due to rats.

Rabbits cost the UK economy an estimated £100 million a year in damaged crops, they also cause countless horses and other animals to be destroyed due to them breaking a leg after stepping into a warren.

How would you suggest we deal with these injured animals.

Rabbits are another invasive species.

It's funny how so called animal lovers only love the animals that fit in their neat little box.

Total disregard for nature...

Hunters and farmers are not perfect and don't pretend to be but in general they do far more for conservation of British wildlife than those high and mighty animal lovers in their armchairs...

It's natural to eat meat. I don't wear leather no,but I do give my dog rawhide treats. I understand that some animals are treated as vermin,because they get in the way of human life. I'm getting a cat to catch the mice that want to poop on my kitchen. Unfortunately you live in an area where nature wants to live too. You have the gun so you win. How many rats and rabbits do you kill per year? Is it enough to keep the population under control?

Human beings are an invasive species!!!! We kill off natural habitat to make way for us to live, travel, work ect. We have killed off hundreds if not thousands of native wildlife. We introduced rabbits, grey squirals, parrots, deer and countless other species into our countryside. We killed off wild boar, wolves and native wild cats. That's just this country, countless others throughout the world.

We have done this because we are a nasty, greedy, self obsessed species who believe that everything that is lower on the food chain has less of a right to live therefore we are free to kill it.

Maybe we should be free to kill other humans who get in our way or damage our property? Oh that's right, it's against the law as we have rights!!!

Most pet owners are responsible and do all they can to prevent their pets interfering with other people's way of life!!!

I'd also be interested to know what pets you've had killed and property damaged by a cat???

. Think maybe someone has upset thy neighbour, so your shooting the wrong species???

If you don't love cats and most animals then something is up. Like people, they have their own personalities, so some are more lovable than others, depending upon you.

I would say I am an animal person rather than a cat person.

I love cats- I have 3, all rescued.

I have a dog too- also rescued.

If I had the space I would have other animals too.

I have female friends who don't like cats, but generally the "feline" thing would be a feminine trait, in My opinion (other opinions are available) so I think maybe that is why more women have an affinity than men.

But as ever- not all cats are particularly feline and some men are more sensitive!

100% right! Rabbits came from Australia, pheasants from India, Grey Squirrels from the US and all imported for "sorting reasons". Cats too orginated from Egypt. The Victorians shot all the Do-dos because they just stood there!

I never said pets killed, I said attacked. My chickens were attacked more than one occasion whilst out of their run roaming in my garden. The damage was caused when a cat got into my she'd and then couldn't get out out. It's stinking urine and excrement ruined property of mine, in my shed.

To top it off the owner asked to borrow a blanket to take the cat home and never returned it.

I don't have any problems with my neighbours as none of those a joining my property have cats...

Trust me if I could get close enough to throw water over a cat so it never came back, I would be totally happy with that result...

"I don't wish to hurt them, like I don't wish to hurt the rats or rabbits I shoot. The aim is a quick painless death.

I would never shoot a cat as it is illegal as you said.

Cat's, like squirrels, parakeet's are an invasive species. They decimate native birds, small mammals and reptiles.

Unfortunately selfish people like yourself, inflict cats on the British wildlife and people with total disregard.

I have had pets attacked and property damaged by cats being on my property against my wished.

So I suggest that maybe you should get off your high horse and think before you post...

Cats do what is natural to them. Men with guns,shooting any living creature,and killing it aren't. You have a right to shoot animals just because you were given a license;it doesn't mean it's right.

So I take it you don't eat meat or wear leather shoes, belts etc...

I take you would be happy to pay more for food to cover the cost of contaminated food due to rats.

How would you suggest we deal with these injured animals.

Rabbits are another invasive species.

It's funny how so called animal lovers only love the animals that fit in their neat little box.

Total disregard for nature...

Hunters and farmers are not perfect and don't pretend to be but in general they do far more for conservation of British wildlife than those high and mighty animal lovers in their armchairs...

We have done this because we are a nasty, greedy, self obsessed species who believe that everything that is lower on the food chain has less of a right to live therefore we are free to kill it.

Maybe we should be free to kill other humans who get in our way or damage our property? Oh that's right, it's against the law as we have rights!!!

Most pet owners are responsible and do all they can to prevent their pets interfering with other people's way of life!!!

There are still Scottish wildcats. Pretty sure rabbits have ways been. They have as much right to be here as horse. Horses are not wild animals now and we brought them here.

Actually horses are wild.

We have domesticated them.

There are managed populations of Exmoor, Dartmoor, Welsh Mountain and Scottish Highland ponies.

"Cats are simply effeminate dogs"

You have obviously never owned a psycho cat.

"Toxoplasma gondii...

It's a brain parasite that causes the cat's prey to become attracted to cats.

This allows the cat to catch and eat the prey, in turn this allows the parasite to develop, it is then expelled in the cat's faeces where it ingested by the prey species completing it's life cycle.

Research believe's that in humans it causes an exaggerated attraction to cats.

It is estimated that between 30 and 50% of people in the developed world is infected...

So basically if you love cats it's because you have licked your cat poo fingers..."

Erm, ever wishing to enlighten, I think latest estimates is that everybody harbours said parasite and experts believe it's linked to schizophrenia.

Further to your other posts, I don't think you should allowed to shoot cats, unless they're attacking livestock you're raising such as chicks etc, but I do think owners should be held accountable for them. Afterall if a pet dog wondered in and out of peoples gardens at will the owner could expect a visit from the gendarmes.

We use horses to hunt foxes. Less foxes,more rabbit warrens for horses to fall down.

I know of a hamster who got into a neighbours house and chewed cables.

The modern European rabbits originated in Spain 4000 years ago. They were brought to the UK to be farmed for meat and fur, the current population is decend from the escapees.

Rabbits were introduced to Australia in the 1850s.

What's not to love about a mini sociopath who treats humans with utter contempt yet still gets their every need pandered to?

You have to admire such chutzpah.
