Well we don't know if Aiken is gay really. He has never really stated
whether or not he was. I do know that the Aiken fans don't appreciate those
cat people who have posted on his Web Site against him. What Aiken said in
that interview was stupid and obnoxious. I guess he feels fame gives him the
write to speak out against cats. I don't always agree with PETA but I do
agree with them on this one. They have every right to post that ad.

Precisely. His response should have been to adopt another cat and make
sure he lavished it with love. He's still a mincing little Queen in my
book. But then I don't like his music anyway.

I have read and re-read a lot of posts and even contacted PETA for a
response. I have no doubt that Aiken knows what he said because he has
stated it more than once. If you make a mistake a couple of times saying
something publically that is fine. But when you say it countless times then
that is disturbing. Clay did state the following:

"I think cats are Satan. There's nothing worse to me than a house cat. When
I was about sixteen, I had a kitten and ran over it."

It may have been accidental but he did add insult to injury when he said
there is nothing worse than a house cat. As a cat lover I was disgusted by
Aiken's words.

Just because a person is famous does not mean he immediately becomes

articulate
and well-spoken. Aiken is certainly not the first famous person who didn't
think about the impact of what he was saying before saying it.

Whether he likes it or not, Clay Aiken has become a role model for many
people (please don't include me in that bunch, I think he's a weird little
twirp) so he should learn not to say things that his stupid fans could
emulate. There are enough cat haters out there without confirmation from a
celebrity (still can't understand that)...

Thanks for posting this, Rona. As I said in my post, I had just gotten

it
from
another board and didn't know if it was true or not.


That's why I added the little thing at the top of my post--my comments
weren't directed to you at all.

But the comment about
cats being Satan, well is strange for sure. I think most of us aren't

haunted
by cat spirits as Satan. I think most of us who are *haunted* by such a

thing
would be inspired to do good, make life right for another cat, in the

spirit of
love, not Satan.


Agreed. He certainly could have used better words to describe his fears.

I
think, however, that the use of the word Satan from a southern American
Christian (likely fundamentalist), describing something s/he doesn't like

or
is afraid of, is probably pretty frequent. I would say this is especially
true of a person who seems to be rather over-dramatic.
