- I never said this. Please reread my statement. I said " We don't have
- to make them conform but it works out that way".
-
- I agree that this subject is getting out of hand. My original comment
- was to the person who said "Cats are living creatures, countertops aren't"
- to justify their behavior.
- I responded that if you want your cats on the countertop, just say so and
- leave it at that. I don't really care what YOUR cats do in YOUR house.
- Why even bring up some bogus "living creature" theory.
-
- This same person also said "How would you like being told don't do this
- and don't do that". I replied that most cat owners make their cats
- conform to their way of life in some way.(training,spaying/neutering,
- declawing, etc.)
-
- In fact, if anyone has a cat who doesn't conform in some way I'd like
- to hear from them.
-
- Later,
- Keith
