Yeah, yeah, but what about the Edith Piaf festival?

Or much of a brain either, Jock Lyn considering the lameness of your riposte. Consider yourself an honorary cat owner.

Yo, Nutgobbler Biggie, I don't have a cat.

mr. big is clearly quite a catch. and I don't even own a cat!

And your point Erika is?

Gosh Mr. Big, you are SUCH A POSITIVE GUY--what a CATCH! I can't imagine why some girl would choose her cat over you. And all that scientific backing to your allergy claims. I'm sure runny eyes are just as bad as someone's throat swelling shut. I imagine you must be the only person in this lovely city who has ever suffered an allergy--pet related or otherwise!

My name is a reference to the typical distaff feline owner likes to watch while she pets her pussy with one hand and scarfs down that tub of Frusen Gladje with the other.

I'm glad that Kojak the Kat owner will take some time away from the keyboard to face the truth about his sexual orientation.

I don't really feel the need to prove my manhood to you. Who are you to even make all these assumptions anyway? You’re probably just some little pipsqueak who likes to refer to himself as 'Big' to make himself feel more like a man.

This shall be the last post on this matter I will write since I have already wasted precious minutes reading and responding to your posts.

Not much of a riposte there, Kojak you lollipop sucker. And I thought those with your "preference" were supposed to be witty.

Before you continue, with the baiting, let me remind you that YOU'RE the cat owner, proof-positive yer a poofter.

Oh Mr. Big, Don't tempt me you big hunk of a man.

You’re very tense and in obviously need of some 'relief'.

Better hit a few clubs before the sailors leave, I'm sure they can help you 'swab the deck' with some man lather. Maybe even take you for a ride down below.

AAAOOOOGAAAAA

Okay, who took down the "Please Do Not Feed The Trolls" sign?

Of course you have a cat "Kojak". What sort of heterosexual man would be looking forward to Fleet Week? Guess we know what sort of lollipops you'll be sucking on this week, "Kojak." Who loves ya, baby? Clearly the sailors do, you cat-owning poofter.

I have a cat and a dog. Even though I love my crazy ass beagle, I happen to like cats better because of their intelligence, finesse, and ability to calm you when you’re stressed out. Being a guy, whats wrong with that?

This entire thread is ridiculous and retarded. Don't any of you have anything else to do but tempt Mr Big, even though hes a prick?

Its Fleet Week, hit a Comedy Club, see the ships, hit a strip joint, anything...

Thanks for the corrections, Jock Lynn. They're called typos and happen all the time when you're writing in non-spellcheckable comment fields.

Of course you've demonstrated the sort of compassion typical of the cat owner, she who would rather cause disease and distress rather than ameliorate her lonelliness and kick her feline, pint o' choc choc chip and feline habit.

I hope you never suffer a day of ill health in your life, Jock Lynn. Because just your luck, you'd have someone take care of you who has the same point of view about dis-ease as you do.

Go back to your solo stroking of your kitty. It's the only satisfaction you'll ever have.

stop arguing... And just enjoy this beautiful weather...

"English" not "Engllish"

"Poindexter" not "Pointdexter"

"Chicks" not "Chidks"

Ohhhh, so you're one of those people who gets sick all the time and has doctors' notes for every occasion. Listen, man, they don't call it dis-ease for nothing. You're one unhappy fellow.

Thanks for the Engllish lesson, Pointdexter. It's a friggin' blog not the New York Review of Books. Save the syntactical sanctimony for the editors of the OED.

As for your disquisition on anaphylactic shock and cat hair, you're just wrong and I have the doctor's notes to prove it. Cat dander and cat allergies are toxic. Although for many, the symptoms can be mild, for others, the allergy can cause an asthma-like reaction that without treatment can be deadly. Just like a food allergy.

The reason why "chidks" might go for a cat-owning dude is simple. The fact that you're a male and you own a cat means you're a homosexual. And chicks dig homosexuals. They're so good with grammar--and not a threat at all.

It's obvious why "Mister Big" isn't gettin' any, and never ceases to amaze me how the subject of cats ignites such anger in some people. I can't understand why a few of you fellas are so threatened. I gotta ask, what if a gal chooses a dog? You've still been replaced. :)

I stepped in a dog pile yesterday, as the result of one of many irresponsible dog owners in this city. My cat is box-trained, and I'll never have to step in her poo. In addition to being a fine companion with astute perception, her mere presence ensures I'll never see rodents. She also like to chase the centipedes!

One other benefit to having a cat - they repel bitter, judgemental men. Chicks love a guy with a cat (unless you're allergic).

Mr. Big, you said that "at the very least" someone with a cat allergy will die of anaphylaxis.

"At the very least" refers to the least significant thing that can happen. Anaphylactic shock is not on the lower end of any allergy spectrum. Most people with cat allergies get itchy and their eyes turn red and maybe they start sniffling. Annoying, yes; not to be tolerated, sure; but deadly?

Only bee stings have the potential to be just as deadly as a peanut allergy. That's why people with peanut allergies carry with them at all times at least one EpiPen. People with cat allergies don't carry synthetic adrenaline to open up their throats/restart their hearts.

It sounds like you have had a really bad experience with a woman who owned a cat. Maybe you should suck it up and ask out a woman who owns a dog.

Yes, Jocelyn, cats can be just as toxic to someone with a cat allergy as peanuts are to someone with a food allergy. Is that really news?

Which makes it all the more amazing that so many of our cities fair single females would rather keep a cat than keep a man.
