I would have a relationship with a human, but in terms of just friendships I believe cats are infinitely better.
And if I did have a girlfriend, she would have to love cats. I doubt that will ever happen though, I usually like people who don't like me back.

I started this thread due to the other one from a few days ago about whether you would die for your cat. There were people on there saying that humans aren't animals and humans are 'superior' to cats. Therefore I wanted to see how many more lunatics there were on here, and I'm pleased to see more have voted Yes than No. So far.
I agree entirely with your sentiment. It's weird how many people appear to find it personally insulting to hear that humans aren't necessarily the greatest thing that ever happened in the universe.

I can't understand why some people seem to think humans are great. We have contributed nothing but crap to the world, and to each other. We might be more 'intelligent' than other species, but we don't use our so-called intelligence very well and physically, I can think of plenty of other species which are far superior to a human.

Humans are far less durable than cats. Hypothetically speaking: if you threw a human out of a ten story window they would be dead, whereas if a cat was thrown out of one they could not only survive the fall, but do so with minimal injury
Have you tried? I know that there's a height beyond
which cats no longer land on their feet, so I'd
guess that they wouldn't do too well, on the landing.
IIRC they loose consciousness beyond thirty stories. But below that they are able to slow their fall and they are a LOT more flexible than we are.
There are many accounts of cats falling from these heights and surviving.

The crazy cat lady is a stereotype. Some old women with lots of cats are crazy. Some old women with no cats are crazy too. There is no correlation between number of cats and level of craziness.
If I really loved someone then I wouldn't make them get rid of their pets, even if they had a tarantula or something, I would learn to live with it because I would know that I would want them to do the same with Flo. If someone has 8 cats and they were made to leave them behind for their relationship with a human, then that relationship is either doomed from the start, or they are both disgustingly repulsive people.
Thank you, Soph. I know that unless someone is a bona fide cat lover, they just can't understand. At that age, I didn't realize that you aren't supposed keep every kitty that follows you home. Sometimes, they would just show up on our porch, as if they knew that I would love them. This man that I mentioned, was a petty tyrant of the worse kind. He would terrorize myself and my sisters, and my mother allowed it because she valued his company above her children's happiness. I wouldn't own 8 cats today, because I am aware of vet bills, and food costs, but I madly love the cat I have.

He sounds evil. I wouldn't own eight cats either because I just wouldn't have the time to give them all the attention I would want to give them. I would happily care for lots if I could though. I love cats.
