What makes cats so funny? Page 4

Quote: Lee Henman @ October 9 2009, 1:50 PM BST

Cats aren't funny. I have a cat called Oscar who rarely makes me laugh. He crunches up mice on my patio, then waits until he gets inside before yacking up a ball of intestines and fur all over my rug. Then he has the whisker-faced gall to jump up on the kitchen counter and miaow for food.
On the odd occasion that I do allow the little bastard up on my knee the first thing he does is either pierce my tender thigh flesh with his razor-sharp claws, or yawn directly in my face, delivering an aroma which I can only imagine to being akin to a bag lady's crusty gusset directly up my nostrils.
He also sits in my favourite chair and refuses to f**k off out of it. If my labrador Lucy sits in my chair, I only have to LOOK at her and she gets the message and vacates the area. Oscar will only move after I've physically picked him up, his back legs kicking and flailing as he tries to get some purchase on my flesh with his c**tish little claws.

No, cats aren't funny.

Ever see this Robot Chicken skit?

I find that very funny.

*laughs at Lee's life*

Ditto Zooo and who knew Lee wore a hairpiece?

I know where you're coming from Lee. I find I'm accepting behaviour from the new-ish cat that I'd never let a dog get away with. Still, I kind of admire the cat for this...

Until my cat matches my late dog Baldrick for shagging a guide a dog that was being exercised in a park and the blind owner asking if there was another dog around as Baldrick was being hauled off his guide dog's back, I'll still think dogs are funnier.

Plus dogs sometimes get their lip caught on their teeth which gives them a funny smile.

Oh great, I'm independent, stay out all night, never do any work, only come home for food, steal the best chair, sleep half the day, rudely ignore people, torture small animals and shit in the corner - and I'm the bad guy all of a sudden?

You love it when the cat does it...bloody women and your bloomin' double standards. Bah.

Ha!
I love it when cats are cleaning themselves and their little tongue stays stuck out for ages without them noticing.

Very true.

I like the way you call a cat rude.

''Well that cat was bloody rude''

We have a cat, a black cat called 'Sooty', that isn't a joke, we never realised it was a racist term of endearment (Prince Charles), anyway.

he is f**king annoying, and he always runs under your feet.
So one day I called him a Twat...and found this hilarious and couldn't stop laughing for about a week.

My dog is way funnier than my cat. Onslow is a Bichon but you wouldn't know it because we don't do the sissy-ass grooming that people usually do. He constantly has socks stuck to his back due to static cling, he throws his toys into the toilet and then goes to find someone to help him, he loves rice cakes and spaghetti, he has to run around in circles in order to poo, and he goes buck-nutty when the MacGuyver theme tune comes on.

Actually cats are c**ts. Sorry that just made me laugh. I'm just covered in scratches from my kitten.

Kittens are brilliant, but as soon as they get to about 1 yr old and go outside, they turn into an evil sadistic cat, selfish. I think there should be a giant skip for adult cats, where after a year you can just throw them out and get a new one.

Similar to the way little cute kids turn into little shits as soon as they go to school. Get rid of them.

I think it's called Battersea Home for Cats and Dogs.

No, I prefer to move house and leave mine outside in the cold and rain, abandoned.

It's amazing that when you do that, according to the RSPCAs adverts, they begin to talk anyway. Then they givethem your name and (new) adresss, and then your ass to jail.

This is my one post allowed from prison.

Also, Battersea Home allows them to re enter society again (unless damaged) so you're sort of ruining my plan Dolly.

I don't think the RSPCA are great anyway. They laughed at me when I first moved to my current area and reported a load of 'escaped' parrakets. Apparently they're wild ones that just live round here.

How odd that so many comically-minded people should not find cats to be funny. They are capable of a level of Pythonesque absurdity. When confronting another cat, my one slowly approaches it, doing a ridiculous walk, sideways, yowling in a bizarre way. He then leaps upon the other one, and they become a blur of claws and flying fur, just like a cartoon. What's not to like about that?

I find cats rather graceful, smart and sly. In contrast dogs are accident prone, thick and stupidly loyal - thus I think they're more comical.
