I'm fed up with Animal Planet and USA Network. (Bit of a rant)
Why?

Every year they play the dog shows on their networks, yet how often has anyone seen a cat show on either network?
I never have.

Animal Planet never wrote me back as to why they don't.

And there are far more cat fanciers than dog fanciers.

Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, always have.
I like cats more, and have two myself.

2. You never saw Lucky, my b/w female.


She still has the "kitten" face, and even still mews like a kitten, and is about 5 years old.

3. Your pic illustrates the problem! What do cats do besides sleep?
You can't put a cat on a leash and run it around a ring.

I'd love to see them too but I'm pretty sure they would be boring.

5. Cats are far cuter to me, but they probably aren't as interesting.
Edited on Mon Feb-12-07 09:14 PM by Dean Martin
...as dogs are in shows, because most dogs can be trained to do more things. Cats are too independent.
I love dogs too, but a kitten or lovable cat gets my attention far quicker than a dog does. I think cats have much more of a cute factor.
