By the Pound; Not the Count

Hello,

Since the average kitty weighs about 5 pounds, you will need to own 8
kitties to equal a 40 pound dog.

Truly

According to Jesus, in John 8:32, truth will set you free.

Well, most Torties are female and are supposed to bring good luck...

Your statistics are as fictional as your anecdotes.

You might try checking your "truth" sometime: the last I heard, most cats
were in the 6-10 pound range - mine are in the 7-16 pound range, mostly
around 9 pounds.

In any case, an average cat can deal with a 40 pound dog pretty well
because they are far better armed.

We don't own our cats - we serve them.

Where on earth do you live, that five pounds is "average" weight for a
housecat? Agreed, cats in the U.S. seem to run a bit larger that their
UK counterparts, but the smallest cat I ever had weighed nearly ten
pounds, and she was TINY!

It would be four, not eight... and why is that a bad thing?

Huh? Don't they teach the multiplication tables in school anymore?
(4 x 5 = 20, not 40!)

I was scratching my head at that, too...

Hello,

Wishful thinking perhaps?- or "do you mean" barn cat?

During the Black Plague in Britain the Maltese cat literally saved
Europe from extinction. Regardless, this breed rarely appears on the
charts that hang in veterinarians' offices.

When the Plague first broke out, its cause was unknown; it was
eventually determined to be carried by fleas. Fleas, and presumably
the disease, had been around for a long time, so why should there
suddenly be an epidemic? The cause was the cats--not what the cats
did, but rather what they did not do. Over time, England had bred
their cats to magnificent sizes. Beautiful for show, they had become
useless at catching, killing and eating vermin.

The British feline was no longer able to get into the small spaces
where rats and mice hid. The rats proliferated, and their fleas
brought the Plague.

The small Maltese Cat has tiny ears, tiny paws, a short tail, short
legs, short fur, and the solid color and appearance of a gray rat. It
has a somewhat flat face with round, green eyes, and a loving
expression. In (an unknown year--what was it, please?) the English
imported large numbers of these Maltese cats. They were not recognized
as a special breed, and for centuries remained just the Maltese cat.
In recent history (years???) the Maltese breed has been recognized in
America, but currently seems to have been forgotten and for most
purposes is extinct."

History repeats itself . . . We never get any smarter, we just get
older . . . what will save us from the Plague next time?

How many of us have 5 lb cats? My lightest weighs 6+ lbs. Most are in
their teens and three of them would make a 40 lb d-thing. For what it
is worth, the 6+ lb owner, Tanada, has the d-cat terrified of her. She
has trained him to leave her alone.

Pam S. who figures that three cats could easily take out a 40+ lb d-g.

Five pounds is a teeny cat. Even Bootygirl weighs about 7. Funny thing
is even
Bosley (24 POUNDS NOW!!) is afraid of her.
