Each has a personality, and some cats are dog-like, while some dogs are cat-like. She's not doing animals any favours by dividing them into camps. Hmmm. The word "fatuous" was coined to describe this kind of thinking, Diane. I think you understand its nuances, being as how you have an undergraduate degree in English from an unnamed university. It means facile stupidity, sloppy thinking on the part of someone who could do better with a bit of reflection. Dogs and cats are already divided into "camps" because they belong to separate, unrelated species. It is not the doing of a woman in Houston, as much as you may yearn for a fresh angle from which to disparage her. Charlie |

"Charlie Wilkes" wrote Tweaker is an extreme puppycat. One thing about him and other cats like him though... they really need to stay indoors, even more than other cats. I think Tweaker knows this, because he doesn't really try to go outside unless I'm there to stop him. He walked straight up to my tenants' pit bull when they first me, and he responds to all dogs that way. The biggest danger here is raptors. On this island, all the ferals are black... natural selection at work. I'm really glad you keep him in. He is a dollbaby. |

And he is without a doubt the most good-natured cat I have ever known. He's extroverted and loves to meet new people and dogs. I am planning a trip to AZ/NM sometime in April, and I look forward to taking him along. Presumably I can fly with him as a carry-on item. He'll love it, especially if people take an interest in him.
