I didn't realize cats and islam had such a connection. Thanks. I have had both cats and dogs over the years, despite being crazy allergic to cats. I don't see how anyone could think that cats are cleaner than dogs? A cat poops in a box, paws at the litter in the box and then walks all over your counter tops etc. Dogs let you know that they'd like to be let out and do their business outside. Dogs can be trained to happily stay off furniture etc. Cats pretty much do whatever the hell they want. -this is fine, I actually respect cats and think they're awesome animals, but I definitely don't think they're cleaner than dogs. Plus, as thundara well knows, cats make you cray-cray: Aside: What's up Vijor? I'm sorry you have to put up with 8bit. I'm not sure I agree with your assessment that 8bit needs to get to know the cat first. We don't even do this with people, why would we with pets?
