Hate is a strong word. And for all cats.

I've been bitten by a neighborhood dog as a young child, chased by another on foot. Attacked a number of times. I guess that would give me reason to be dislike dogs, but I truly believe dogs and cats tend to be products of their owners or backgrounds (and sometimes their background precedes their owner, who can only do their best).

I've also owned family dogs that were the best of boys. So, I by no means hold such a view and love both cats and dogs.

From what I've seen of cat owners that grew to dislike cats, is they weren't very good people themselves, nor did they understand (or take the time to learn) how to treat a cat. They aren't blindly loyal to their owner. They are more humanlike. You have to earn their trust and love. It is different for folks that only know dogs.

In the end, cats and dogs are amazing creatures and companions. The "bad ones" likely had terrible experiences, or owners at some point, and even many of them can be taught to love again, but only by folks willing to put in the time.

Okay, I have my reasons. I won’t go into that out of respect of my parents, but thank you anyway. By the way, congrats on the pay increase and I mean it.

@GiggerVol I just saw this posted in the baseball forum. Hope this copy and paste works.

The Official St. Bonaventure @ Tennessee Series Thread (Fri. 3/7 6PM EST) (Sat. 3/8 6PM EST) (Sun. 3/9 1PM EST) (All Games On SECNET+)

What a horrible weekend I suffered. Had to endure the #4 BasketVols winning another to close out a spectacular season as they honored Zeigler, Mashack, and friends. Then had to walk 120 yards across the street dodging traffic so I could see the #1 BaseVols bomb the Bonnies, and all this with my...

He was never the best hitter. And he is a cheater. Just like Sosa, Canseco, McGuire and many others. See this is what you don’t get. The substances Bonds and others used weren’t around when Hank Aaron set the home run record. They were kit around when Ruth hit 60 home runs and drove in 158 RBIs. These substances were not around when Ty Cobb hit .400 in back to back years.

Cobb and Ruth also didn't play against the best competition considering baseball was segregated at that time. Do we say they aren't great because they didn't play against Negro League players?

Greatness is defined by how good you are against your peers not across eras cause judging players across eras is always difficult. Bonds was better against his competition than anybody else. If he was the only guy using steroids at that time you would have a point but given that steroid use was rampant at that time it means he didn't have an unfair advantage over his peers. He was advantaged against guys from previous eras but they were advantaged as well whether it was no black players during Ruth's era or not that many Hispanic players during Aaron's era.
