Dont cats deserve love too?
Marley and Me. Beethoven. Lassie. K-9 Cop. Air Bud. Turner and Hooch. Old Yeller. These canines were absolutely beloved by children and adults alike. We even cried when Old Yeller departed this world bound for that big dog house in the sky. After all, All Dogs Go to Heaven. But never is there a mention of a celestial litter box. Wheres the love for cats? Is it that theyre just too cool and aloof?
Or maybe its that we just dont really understand kitties. An article in the Washington Post [coming Monday] has some interesting things to say about how cats really are more expressive than you might think if you just know how to read their cues. Tail up? Theyre happy. Rubbing against a table near you. They like you. So lets remember that an animal should be judged by the content of its character and not the color of its fur.

(3,065 posts)But they have no SOUL. They are aloof and can't do any cool tricks. My cat never responds to his name and his name is C'mere. So why waste the money on a feature film?
I wouldn't go to see it.

He knew he wasn't getting dinner until they were both inside though. I can't have then any more after the last one died of old age, my allergies got to bad
