Of course you're entitled to 'express an opinion', but what you cannot do is make assertions as to my stance on pets when you don't even know me (or what pets do or do not have).

You express an opinion that dressing pets was mean, I suggested is was also mean to own pets (as opposed to animals being free). Apart from a childish 'whatever', from that you wrongly concluded I had something against pets and accused me of being jealous (of myself, bizarrely). That's not an opinion, that's an accusation.

I was not criticising pet owners, I was posing a moral question...

BTW: As for 'coherent', Look it up (although I confess to mispelling it originally).

Would a "fair play" answer be ok then

You do have a point...

Also can you please not use so much confusion (opposed to me) when you write. You know i'm younger than you, so therefore you have are smarter and have more knowledge than me... (Damn that makes me sound dumb)

Alas, when you say

(or what pets do or do not have).

I presume you mean pets "you" do or do or may not have. You make it sound like you "do" have pets now whence before you apparantly didn't... Make up your mind

OK. I apologies. I forgot about your age - although you shouldn't put yourself down in any way because of it. Age isn't a defining intelligence factor (I know kids much smarter than me and adults as dumb as a bag of frogs).

As for pets, and to clarify, I've had several pets over the years. At the moment we have a cat - I would have a dog but now's not the time. Cats pretty much look after & entertain themselves, dogs need a lot more of your time, something we don't have at the moment.

I don't think i've met those people yet You also seem to know a LOT about war time and your History knowledge is so brushed up! How that defines people to be smart or not so... a mystery to me...

I hate to contredict you, but cats ruin furniture They scratch and bite and claw at feet for fun. Whether that it their idea of fun... or they just like seeing humans in pain.

Nevertheless, we took in a stray cat in our area around halloween time. His owner (teenager obviously) had tied a firework to its tail and it blew. The cat didn't trust people for nearly a month after that and was starving due to it

So we fed it... and gave it food, toys, bed, housing and most importantly a name Such a thankful little cat that it would let you do anything (but only those who had "adopted" it) Unfortunately the little darling had no road sence and was run over recently. Our dog found him on his nightly walk

Anyway... I will stop rambling on now but i wish you hope with the future!

cats arnt that bad rach

that is a really sad story

Rachel: i did not no that you had put a picture of Patch on here and i also did not no that the cat had had a firework attatched to it... Was that the cat called Tabby that we took in and then got ran over?
