I am not a HUGE Cat Fan, but I have two now, I live in SD, and I actually like the female, as she comes to sit on me wherever I am, which is fun, because my "Chihuahua" is usually already there.
I LOVE dogs, and now that our last litter of 8 have gone to great homes, we only have 4.
Three BIG outside Watch Dogs, and the indoor/outdoor Chihuahua.
We have a high fence, but the Chihuahua can sneak under when she wants too, and one of the dogs can run up the wall and over the fence, both ways!!!!
Something to See!!!!!
One of the things I like best about the DR is you can have animals if you want.
It's "Nice" all year long, and they can be outside.
My cats go where ever they want to.
I bet they like that!
They are "Working Cats" as they keep our house & yard free of rodents, and lots of other "Creatures"!
When the front gate is open, the dogs will run around outside, until they get bored, usually a few minutes, then they come back and just lay around.
For me, I never had a dog, unless I had a big yard, or a cat that didn't get to go out.
People love to "Humanize" their animals, especially,"Cat People".
They like to say it's "better" no to let cats roam free."Better" for who, the CAT???
Ask the cat how he/she feels about THAT!!!!
I am not a "Fan" of Zoo's for the same reason.
Some reason you need Zoo's to preserve endangered species.
I say,"Let a species go extinct"!
Been happening for hundreds of millions of years!
Better to die in your natural habitat,than in a "Cage", no matter how Fancy the cage!
Or "Porch" as in the post above!
"$HIT" is good for your lawn, and, the world's entire Ecosystem is based on "Eating $HIT"!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
To paraphrase Michael Douglas,..."$HIT", for Lack Of a Better Word,...Is GOOD"!!!!!!!
Don't $HIT for 5 days, and you WILL Agree!
