Do people really like yapping dogs?

[Rpa07]

We have a cat that we procured from our communal dustbin; We have since registered and insured it. Horrible little fecker that will meow for something and hiss at me when its got it. Much prefer dogs but the missus wouldn't tolerate anything that could bite higher than your ankle.

Merry Xmas everyone!

My cat was a rescue that made us fall in love with it in the pound then when we got it Home acted like it was feral - BUT 4 years on she is chilled and a great character, Still gets a bit ----y but that is usually me winding her up!
You’ve done your bit by rescuing - you’ll get your reward (T+Cs apply)!

Might have been a bit harsh calling her a little fecker, she's tame as anything but don't understand the occasional hissing thing. Would still prefer a large dog but circumstances don't make that possible at this time. Once again, merry xmas all, I'm downing the rest of this eggnog and going to bed x

Happy Xmas. Just been woken up by our meowing cat with a mouse which it has just dropped. Mouse now loose somewhere in the house! Dogs not barked yet.

We got some nice neighbours with two yapping dogs, terrier & spaniel. Left home alone, or with latch key kids left to look after them, with the run of their garden. They bark at a sparrows fart, and carry on ALL day. Complained to them & council. This summer, they decide barking wasn't sufficient, and started to eat a hole in the fence. Which was great, 'cos I could squirt the hose at them, and give them a good soaking.

Owners seem to have taken note, with holes in their fence and bedraggled mutts. Merry Xmas

squirt the hose

Try a Karcher, much better

My wife doesn't nag. I'm sure she's an alien but I'm not complaining....
Talking about women.... Just watched Doctor Who... he turned into a woman. She pressed one button and buggered up the Tardis.... I'm not suggesting anything....

I have not tried using that drastic solution on our neighbours
In Wales we assess the size of the neighbour before soaking him

..In Wales we assess the size of the neighbour before soaking him

That's just too personal here... Could you not just ask him if he hangs to the left or right...

cats rely primarily on their nose to sense their environment. their eyesight is fairly sharp but they usually cannot see things clearly beyond 10 to 15 meters. (more towards the ultraviolet range)
to a kitty a laser dot looks as big as a baseball does to us.
their hearing is quite sensitive too.
many things can offend kitty's sense of smell and their natural reaction is to hiss a warning.
household cleaners such as bleach, amonia, and strong perfumes or colognes will also, menthol products can actually irritate them enough to swat or nip you.
