I can't believe the amounts people spend, and sacrifice, to keep geriatric animals alive. But for CATS! CATS! the world has gone mad. Dogs, sure, dogs are beings with souls not black satanic hearts like CATS!

Our cats are elderly but still, apart from the diabetes, in good condition. Plumper than they should be but so are many of us. They've given us companionship and pleasure for many years and we owe them. As long as the vet tells us that they are not suffering, we have their backs.

On your second point, Rube: sometimes a human is described as 'dog-like' and sometimes you hear someone called 'cat-like.' I know which one is usually an insult and which one is usually a compliment.
This is because dogs enjoy a good joke at their own expense while cats, famously, have no sense of humor, at all.

When people talk about 'piling on' and other forms of unsavory swinish mob behavior, they are talking about you.

The photo was my cat's idea. He has a great sense of humor.

I would like to point out that I was not dog-piling, I was being catty. It's nuanced though, I could see why there would be confusion.
