John – The problems with your typically feline logic are on display once again. First of all, you must conjure scenarios of O.J. -was-framed proportions in order to exonerate the cat and condemn the dog. Second, of course there are many dogs who’ve hurt people. Often the people hurt are criminals trespassing, drug smugglers and felons attempting escape. And, yes, sometime dogs hurt decent people. But here lies the important difference. Dogs can be poorly trained by their owners to do bad things. But dogs can also be raised properly to do incredibly noble things. Cats offer no such opportunities. They lack anything like the dog’s moral instinct or his capacity for improvement. And, the fact that cats don’t harm as many people as dogs do, is attributable solely to their lack of opportunities to do so. If cats weighed 200 pounds, no one would have one because they’d be too dangerous. If dogs weighed 200 pounds — some almost do — people would go right on owning them.
