I had the great pleasure of reading Buba Gump's question before it was removed (and rightly so) by customer care.
He wanted to know why "cat people" are such "militant freaks". I don't consider myself a "cat person". I consider myself an animal person. He said cats aren't people. Of course they're not. But they ARE living things. They feel emotions (not to the extent that we do, but they do), they feel pain, they bring joy. So do dogs. ALL living things should be treated with care and respect. Those people who say "it's just a cat" or "it's just a dog" are ignorant. I hope that one day, aliens take over this planet....and we hear them say "it's just a human". Get the picture?

Oh, another great, all-encompassing statement is "It's just an animal"....well, so are humans.
I'm glad so many people are in agreement here. I also am distrustful of people who don't respect animals. In my opinion, it shows a general disrespect for everything. And people who don't appreciate animals for all that they are seem to be sorely lacking in many essential traits; empathy and love being the two top ones.

It was removed as I was answering.
I thought maybe their Daddy had done something to them and maybe they liked it or possibly their Daddy loved the kitty more than them which would be understandable.

I am an animal lover myself, even snakes and rats etc. I have 2 cats and have learned a lot about them. I think that anyone who hates cats is because they don't really know much about them. though most people on here will say stuff just to try and get a rise out of people so you can't totally believe everything you read on here.

Hi Katrina...very well stated! Unfortunately, ignorant comments always comes from those who have no basis for their preconceived notions. I countlessly come across this with those who make generalized statements without truly understanding the species especially for the exotic cats we have rescued. It's unfortunate for the cats who didn't ask for this or any animal for that matter domestics included.

I get upset by people who get pets on a whim then just get rid of them coz they can't be bothered. Every pet deserves to be cared for responsibly and live it's life free from cruelty. I hope that I am not around when aliens take over the planet.....

You are SOOOOO right! Thank you! I am owned by cats myself, but I agree that all other animals deserve respect. I have serious questions about people who don't respect animals!

I'm not even an animal person and I agree with you. I'm for care and respect to animals. To humans too.
