My dogs
Offline They hate flies. Yes I believe they actually HATE flies. I have observed my two little dogs and they chase a fly and will not suffer one to live in the house. If a fly lands on them they jerk towards it and you can tell they take it as a personal affront, as if they believe they fly is intentionally tormenting them. We know the fly is not purposefully attacking them but they are dogs and do not know this but they do have the base instinct I believe to have a vendetta against something that appears to them to be very purposefully tormenting.
Neither of them eats a fly, they chomp them and spit them out, look at them a few moments and move on. I wonder what emotion is going through their head when they have just chomped one. I know it's fleeting but I imagine it is some kind of satisfaction.
Yea I'm kinda bored, guess I'll go to bed.

Cats are better than dogs.
=
Of course. We use bomb sniffing cats in Iraq and Afghanistan, drug cats to help us catch drug smugglers at our airports, and track down escaped convicts with bloodfelines sniffing out their trail for us. Cats are very useful to us humans. I mean crap, look at all the blind people that use seeing-eye kitties to cross the road.
But seriously, yeah cats poop in a box without training and they don't demand any real amount of affection so I guess they do have that going for them. Oh yeah, they normally stay clean without us having to bathe them.

BLASPHEMER!!!! Everyone knows all dogs go to heaven, therefore all cats go to hell and thus all cat people go to hell.
rob the dog my ex took also chases flies. She will literally track them through the house. Of course she chases and eats anything that has wings birds, bees, bugs, airplanes you name it. The dog in my picture, now deceased, preferred big game and ignored most bugs but had a vendetta against bees.

I have had cats, several actually.
Dogs have way too many points up on a cat.

Even rats are better than cats, and yea I would like to have one of these and may yet get one considering they are legal again.

I have met the guy that trains the rats. Roger Abrontes, Danish and he is funnier than hell. He has a manner and delivery that is similar to Victor Borga. He gave several lectures at the APDT conference I attended in Portland, OR. Had everyone roaring with laughter. I think he could train a rock to do tricks.
Robj101 - you did not mention what breed your dogs are. It may make a difference.
hmm lets see, people have guessed, part chihuahua, pomeranian, dashund and terrier. Those are the top four, yea they are mutts. I absolutely love to brag on my dogs shamelessly.

personality type but I like fish - in a tank. An ecosystem right there in the lounge room is cool. I'd have a dog if I was retired but leaving a dog alone all day seems wrong to me. Dogs like company. Cats - I'm ok with outside cats but ummm. They eat the weeny, endangered fluffy wildlife the cars don't run over and the foxes have not yet eaten here in Australia so I can't be too keen on them. Most our wildlife is pathetic given there haven't been any natural predators in Australia since the Rainbow Serpent was a pup. They just sit looking furry, waiting to be eaten.
Birds are a good reason to not have cats. It's always nice to see wild birds doing their thing when I'm out in the countryside. We have a lot of bright parrots in oz - great to see them with their vivid coats on. I can't look at them without appreciating the obvious truth jesus made them so colourful especially to give me a personal trinitron moment of realisation about his wondrous greatness - not as an advertisement of their genetic suitability to impress the chicks.
Thanks, lord. You rock.

That is the best that you can manage?
Of course cats can detect bombs. Cats smell things that go boom! And say “fuck this, I am out of here”. Find a place with cats in it and you know there will be no bombs nearby.
When dogs smell explosives, they think “if I get closer, then someone might throw a smelly sock at me”.
Drug cats? Tell me again how you impress a cat with a smelly sock?
Blood hounds? My brother used to have one. The term “you can't smell your own BO “ was invented for that specific breed. Nasty smelly dogs.
Blind people? WTF are they doing crossing the road in the first place? That is a fairly dangerous act for those of us who can see.
Well, I can say for certain that there are no engineers in hell. Think about it for a second and you will know why.
There are seven cold places and seven hot places. Any engineer worth his salt would install a heat pump. Then Hell will look like this place:
Oh, BTW, that really is a photograph of hell. 2,000 years ago, that was a land fill. Those convicted of religious crimes by the Sanhedrin were executed and their bodies were dumped there so as to not soil important ground. Like all good landfills, it was pretty much on fire all the time.

And I remember that I have authorities on the matter of bomb cats.
Not only did my brother have a bloodhound (for finding decayed human remains) but he also had bomb dogs. In fact, he trained the Turkish national police bomb squad. BTW, when traveling under a UN issued passport, he told me that Fidel Castro will speak English as long as there are no cameras around.
Also, I know the guy who invented the way to cut steel lamp posts with detcord.
I am waiting on replies to email from both of them. However, I am willing to say that I doubt that either one has ever seen a cat near a bomb.

It sounds like you are proposing that since cats can't be or are too difficult to train in tasks that can benefit mankind this makes them superior to dogs.
Cats and dogs have been domesticated in the same way but dogs have been useful from the beginning and continue to be so today.

Rob, have your neighbors ever complained because your cats were purring too damned loud in the middle of the night?
Neither have mine.
=
Nope and they haven't complained about my dogs purring either
I had one of my neighbors cats in the garage once. I had the door closed and it woke me up in the middle of the night when I heard it crashing around trying to get out and the dog was going nuts. Thought someone was breaking in so I'm charging into the garage half naked with my .40 locked & loaded. Between the pre-combat adrenaline rush and the cold outside (it was winter) I couldn't get back to sleep for quite some time.
What drives me nuts about cat people is many seem think it is ok to let their cats run around the neighborhood at will. When I took my dog for a walk I always got a nasty letter from the HOA because I walked her off leash even though I kept her heeled and away from anyone she didn't know. If you have to leash dogs you should also have to leash cats...... and kids.

Jack Russells only count as half dogs.
Lot of vids of dogs killing snakes but whats the point when a rabbit can do it.
Have to clik source then paste it in.

This is far more useful than killing a snake or two
FAIL!

By seconds I'm sure.

So a dog barks at a bear.
In other news, a British police man said "Stop! or I will say stop again" .

Hey! if you want to deal with bears, you could try a bear proof armor:
Or you could try staying away from where bears are.
Your choice.

lol A little impractical for hunting in. Although, I think you do have a point about cats, they are a lot more fun to hunt. Always wanted to go lion or leopard hunting.
