As a guy, that qualifies you. Once cat is ok, if slightly suspicious. Two cats is catlady status with a gender change.

Orion is exempt because his are all barn cats and work for their living.

I have two cats.
Have to have at least two cats, they are social animals.

I absolutely agree.  Two cats here as well, but the Maine Coon often fancies himself as a dog.

What the hell are you trying to cover up?

nothing .. really .. i have no recollection of anything being covered up so therefore cannot confirm or deny anything.

And people wonder why we have problems with contamination.

Contamination?  WTF? 

A deer dies and rots in a woods, and no one gives a damn.  A farmer buries a dead calf because none of the rendering plants will pick them up and the DNR and EPA is on his back about "biohazards" and polluting the environment.  Remember, a wild animal may have pissed in that stream you swim in or may have pissed on that flower you picked.  OH NOES!  ITS A BIOHAZARD!!!!!  RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!

live in your sterile environment and clorox the smurf out of everything and wonder why the smurf the antibiotics and anti viral meds dont do smurf anymore.


have some dirt and germs people.. a reasonable amount is good for you.

I have a cat, Bitey, who likes to rub his teeth on you when he wants something. HE is fit and works for his meal by keeping the house pest, bird and mouse free. He knows how to fetch, follow, and will sit on my shoulder when I go for a run or walk.  My wife has a cat, Emo Cats, who is a whiney fat bastard. He earns his keep by keeping his food bowl empty.

When alone, Bitey catches small critters and leaves them in my shoes. I read that cats do that as either a gift or if they think you are an incompetent hunter. Emo Cats stands in the window and howls.

They do less attention causing trouble when they are together. When they are together, they stalk each other and fight. Bitey usually wins. If there is a small critter around they work together to kill the little dude. They both know how to open the fireplace door to get a bird that flies down the chimney.

(Fran will probably be along soon to defend her cat and denigrate mine. )

I would think the problem is concentration.
In the wild you might have 100 deer per square mile. A cattle herd is going to be many times that dense.

That makes four catmen in the forum. Orion not included. Bren, sigh, one day you will wake up, someone will give you a dog. The poor thing will love you no matter what. That is when you will realize I was right and you will despise your cats.

I have a dog and a cat, so what's that make me?

Pariah. I guess your normal. Maybe it could be said your are a pet lover.

I, on the other hand, have two dogs and a fish.

The biggest problem in regards to anti-virals and anti-biotics is in livestock.

THAT is why the anti-biotics are less and less effective. What we do for humans (patients) is NOTHING compared to the amount in livestock.


Stuffing the cattle with corn so they can get ready for market faster makes them more prone to disease so they get shot up with all the antibiotics, etc, and then we get more and more more problems with ecoli, etc.

MUCH bigger issue than that dead/dying deer in nature scenario.

Livestock and wildlife are two very different things.

Furthermore, my cats do, in fact, love me. Cats are among the most affectionate creatures on the planet.

They are. I never believed it until I had one of my own.

Bitey earns his keep through pest control, and likes me more than anyone else.

Never actually owned one.
