[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a sick of cats thread here, too?[/quote]

Someone started one today but it immediately died because cats are not actually everywhere. Cat owners generally don't let their cats outside in this day and age (it's illegal a lot of places) and cities have done a good job of addressing feral cat populations. I cannot remember the last time I saw a cat outside of a home -- it's been years at this point.[/quote]

Whereas I cannot go 10 feet from my front door without encountering a dog (with strong odds that the dog will be on a long leash, using my yard as a toilet, and run right up to me to stick his nose in my crotch).

Thus, this thread and its long life. Cats are not actually a problem.[/quote]

Someone's "outdoor cat" scratched my on-leash dog as we were leaving our own property, so I'm not sure how "not actually a problem" this actually is[/quote]

I am sorry for your dog and hope he is okay! Some cat scratches are really bad. But this is the first I've ever heard of that happening to a dog so I really do not think it's a problem. That must have been an unusually aggressive cat to approach a dog like that. And a scratch is pretty much all a cat could get away with -- cats are only good at attacking other mammals who are a lot smaller than they are (they are better at attacking birds because of their weight advantage, which is why cats should not be let outside and usually aren't).[/quote]

I knew how to clean it and treat it, and it missed her eyes , so it was okay. It shouldn't have happened, because cats don't belong outside.

Your logic that they're "only good at attacking other mammals who are a lot smaller than they are) doesn't hold up. A feral cat attacked my kid on her way to school, too. Scratched her face but, again, mercifully, not her eye.

They shouldn't be outside attacking anything. Period. Control your animals.[/quote]
