I have a cat for emotional security.

Plus, it's fun to put a kitten's whole head in my mouth, but that's just how I get my kicks.

What is clear is that people get cats as replacemnt humans more than dogs.

i dont want a wussie p*ssie..

same goes for dogs. No tiny b*tches.

Its gotta be big pets, or else ill step on them (deliberately)

Unfourtunately, cats dont come any bigger... so unless I get a permit to raise a huge feline, Ill stick to dogs.

Nobody messes with Velociraptor. (BTW, he's cowed 70 lb dogs into submission several times, and fights like no other cat that ever lived. I mean, he has his own style that puts Bruce Li to shame. He has to be kept separate from our other cats and dogs for their protection.)

Looks fearsome, MtG!

I'll have you know Mary (B*tch Kitty from Hell(tm)) has tangled with a buzzard and won.
