A. Sorry about your losing your *****. That sucks... They often go quite young.

Cats are cleaner and smarter than dogs
Such a statement is patently false. I gotta say, I like both Cats and Dogs, and cats have some advantages. For example, a cat you haven't bathed recently doesn't smell like prettythang. That doesn't mean a cat is "cleaner", though. Cats have and communicate (through their incessant and indiscriminate licking) all kinds of human ailments. Dogs, on the other hand, don't generally get chlamydia.
On the other hand, you can't scruff a dog and drag it across the floor without protest.
