Cats vs. Dogs

[Positivist]

Why do cats and dogs fight?

[Deicide]

My rottweiller is friendly with cats. Well.. with my next door neighbours cat at least.

[Book O'Dead]

Why do cats and dogs fight?

It's all political.

[hatzel]

The answer is right here (http://www.spiritual-short-stories.com/spiritual-short-story-901-Like+Dogs+and+Cats.html), my pretties...or so it is said...

[Book O'Dead]

So. In conclusion, I wish to thank Presidents Barf and Meow for gracing us with their august presence at this, the official signing of the Declaration of Eternal Amity between the two species, the Felines and the Canines. The Porcine and Bovine species could not send their presidents here today because, as you know they are presently attending a Vegetarian summit with representatives of the Vegan society of Humans, soy burgers will be available after the main conference, um, etcetera...

Be that as it may, we are all happy to be here and, and, yes I know...
I know I speak for all of us here when I say that we may be born predators but we know how to stick together, especially against that treacherous species the Ro-Dents!

Let the signing ceremony begin...

We should have a poll to see the dog person/cat person ratio on revleft. Personally, I'm a dog partisan.

[Positivist]

Yea that would be a good poll, if we have a majority of cat people than the revolutionary cause is certainly lost, and Hatzel I appreciate the story, it all makes sense now! Oh yea and if possible does anyone have a class based analysis of the dog, cat struggle?

Dogs = workers / proletariat, diligently fetching sticks, house-trained, leashes and locked up at night

Cats = Bourgeous or at least supporters of, lazy, entitled, comes and goes as they please

Very half-assed, but what think ye?

[Positivist]

Pretty good, and then maybe mice are the peasants? (Less combative with cats, but still oppressed by them.)

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

Lenin had cats, and cats say Mao.
I think we can all agree now, that cats are the proletariat.

cats, unlike, dogs don't have a hierarchical pack structure and also unlike dogs they reject the bourgeois chain of command and work ethic. they are living autonomism.

[Raúl Duke]

cats are anarchos and dogs are M-Ls.

Dogs > cats.

Dogs are a prole's best friend.

Dogs and cats "hate" each other because they misinterpret one another.

Dogs and cats generally have different social styles. A dog is a social animal, which must exist in a hierarchal society while the cat lives an independent life, mostly outside of the lives of other cats or animals. With such different social styles, a dog and cat will misunderstand each other at the beginning, even if the dog has friendly intentions at the beginning.



When a dog first sees a cat, particularly if it has never seen a cat, it will go bounding up to the cat. The dog rushes to the cat with different social expectations than that of the cat. The dog will expect to be able to sniff at the cat's hind end as a social exchange and the cat does not want any of that. Other social behaviors that the dog may do that will turn off the cat include the wagging tail.



The problem with the wagging tail is that its movement means different things to the dog and the cat. To the dog, the wagging tail is a social greeting that usually indicates happiness. To the cat, the wagging tail means displeasure and even anger. When the dog rushes to the cat with a wagging tail, the cat may interpret this as hostility. In return, when the dog sees the wagging tail on the cat, it may interpret this as a sign of friendliness when in fact the cat really feels hostility.



When the dog tries to sniff the cat, the cat may react by running off or attacking the dog. If the cat attacks the dog after the dog's friendly or not so friendly approach, the dog's attitude towards the cat and even other cats has been altered to the point where the dog may appear to hate cats.



Dogs may hate cats, particularly when the two animals misunderstand each other from the beginning. Not all cats and dogs hate each other. You can find photographic evidence and anecdotal stories about cats and dogs cuddling together and otherwise getting along.



I love dogs. I think they are the best thing ever.

Here's a pic of my dapple miniature dachshund. He's pretty much a total badass.

Nah, I think cats get a bad rap because most of them tend to be unionized. Thus the unionized dog labor views them in contempt:

Clearly this is revisionism, thanks for your opinions on the matter comrade Khrushchev.

Wanna know why dogs are friendly? They constantly have to re assure to themselves you're master. Cats have evolved to be with humans.

Cats are a bourgeois excess

Dogs are the proletariat's best friend. After Skynet became self-aware, they were great aids in detecting terminators that had infiltrated human encampments.

I'm not sure who's put in the more progressive light here, but regardless i have to put myself into cat person territory, though i do like dogs too..

You guys have it all wrong. There is no greater commie cat than Pinky the cat:

Aren't they 'wilder,' though? I've heard that cats could return to a completely feral state pretty quickly, whilst it's pretty much not going to happen with dogs...

It doesn't appear that these dogs 'went feral' at any point, as they don't seem to have been domesticated en masse...here I'm talking about 'rewilding' domesticated animals e.g. by releasing pets into the wild...

[bricolage]

domestic cats still manage to catch birds and rodents even if they are a bit shit at killing them sometimes. as far as I know domesticated dogs don't really have this skill any more.

I've seen tons of dogs do this.

One of mine will hide, track a bird, and snatch it clean out of the air.

Another can out-run squirrels. The squirrels tend to leap up to something right when he's about to get them, though. He's still caught a few. He's given plenty of squirrels heart attacks.

The exception, I guess, would be the show-breeds.

Ahh, I misunderstood your question. Here's something from Nat Geo on feral dogs ... http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/08/0821_030821_straydogs.html

ah ok, my mistake.

My Dachshund kills anything that moves. He would definetly eat it if I'm not there to shoo him away from his kill.
