Favourite Things: My Cats

So, I was on the phone tonight with my mom (who owns 2 Springer Spaniels and "half owns" a Golden Retriever) who made the comment  ".... I'm not much of a cat person ...." and it got me to thinking... HOW CAN YOU NOT BE?

So, in retort, I am going to list 10 reasons why I am NOT a dog person.... nothing personal to all you dog lovers ;-)

10. They make your back yard unusable. Seriously, all that beauty and you are afraid to step one foot in it for fear of stepping on a 'land mine'

9. One word... Drool. (Ew.)

8. They need almost as much attention as a baby. Who has time for that?

7. They are DIRTY (rolling in dead animals, or their own poo, etc.) which leads me to my next point...

6. They STINK. Everyone knows what "wet-dog" smells like and it is NOT pleasant.

5. They are scarier than their owners like to admit or think, even the little ones. When a dog comes running at you and jumps on you not only does it hurt, but for a moment (even if you know the dog) you think, 'should I be protecting my jugular?'

4. They think everything is a chew toy. Um, hello, my heels may be leather but they are NOT rawhide.

3. Their owners. Much like how every person thinks their children are perfect angels, dog owners are almost worse, I don't know why that is.

2. They are deceivingly cute. Which annoys me more than anything.

1. They bark. The incessant need for a dog to bark DRIVES ME CRAZY.


Now, don't get me wrong, there are a few pups out there I can tolerate, even like, but I am most definitely a cat person!!
