Jesus. I hate this piece of garbage so much. Dirty, disgusting, low IQ and worst of all.

It's an animal mostly "owned" by women and feminine men. So what did you expect.

Catfags get abused by cats all the time and will still pretend that it's awwww cute. Toxosubhumans are truly the most vile apes to ever exist.
>It ripped half of my skin? Awwww it loves me!

all my animals sleep outside, dogs on guard duty and cats on pest hunting mode
>>
>>5059730
>dogs on mauling random innocent people who are lost, looking for their lost toy/dog, or delivering packages duty
>cats killing some pests but not enough to stall popution growth, and killing enough native animals to cause the pest population to grow over time, resulting in nothing but dogs, cats, rats, and pigeons as far as the eye can see ("but the cats are working, honest, i saw one kill a rat yesterday")
thirdies, everyone.

>but its traditional
>muh ancestral knowledge
>thousands of years of thirdies cant be wrong. after all, the entire degenerate triple digit IQ world stopped using their methods completely!
the earth being a flat plane made out of the corpse of an ice giant is also traditional knowledge
the stars being holes in a great fur made from a slain cosmic elk draped over us to keep us warm is traditional knowledge
so is the sun and moon being conscious gods who watch over us and decide our fates

the point i am making is humans can do some weird things but they're not actually an intelligent species, and most traditions are actually fucking retarded because they were made up and followed by fucking retards. the more associated with rural life the traditions are the more retarded they get because civilization has used the agricultural zones as a dumping ground/filter for idiots for the past 10,000 years.

Cats don’t control pests. A simple trap accomplishes in a night what would take a cat a week.

Any number of these african farm animals is dirtier and less effective than human technology.

Another retard who misses the fact that cats need to be trained, just like dogs. They won't magically behave, just like dogs won't.

Bro you're mad at a non-human animal for having low IQ, what you expected your cat to be the next Einstein?

They are cutie little frends, dont say that

It took my cat one week of existing in my house as a kitten, and killing one mouse, what one year of traps, poisons, and three exterminators couldn't do.

And every minute is worth it, I love the little kittenman. He's like a little cat type character. You could call him low IQ, but he's a doctor, lawyer, religious leader; known by 159 different names in over 400 countries on Earth. People make portraits of him. Can you say anything about yourself that's even close to being as impressive as that? No.

Persons of commonplace ideas—unimaginative worthy burghers who are satisfied with the daily round of things and who subscribe to the popular credo of sentimental values—will always be dog-lovers. To them nothing will ever be more important than themselves and their own more primitive feelings, and they will never cease to esteem and glorify the fellow-animal who best typifies these. Such persons are submerged in the vortex of Oriental idealism and abasement which ruined classic civilisation in the Dark Ages, and live in a bleak world of abstract sentimental values wherein the mawkish illusions of meekness, devotion, gentleness, brotherhood, and whining humility are magnified into supreme virtues, and a whole false ethic and philosophy erected on the timid reactions of the flexor system of muscles. This heritage, ironically foisted on us when Roman politics raised the faith of a whipped and broken people to supremacy in the later empire, has naturally kept a strong hold over the weak and the sentimentally thoughtless; and perhaps reached its culmination in the insipid nineteenth century, when people were wont to praise dogs “because they are so human” (as if humanity were any valid standard of merit!), and honest Edwin Landseer painted hundreds of smug Fidoes and Carlos and Rovers with all the anthropoid triviality, pettiness, and “cuteness” of eminent Victorians.

But amidst this chaos of intellectual and emotional grovelling a few free souls have always stood out for the old civilised realities which mediaevalism eclipsed—the stern classic loyalty to truth, strength, and beauty given by a clear mind and uncowed spirit to the full-living Western Aryan confronted by Nature’s majesty, loveliness, and aloofness. This is the virile aesthetic and ethic of the extensor muscles—the bold, buoyant, assertive beliefs and preferences of proud, dominant, unbroken, and unterrified conquerors, hunters, and warriors—and it has small use for the shams and whimperings of the brotherly, affection-slobbering peacemaker and cringer and sentimentalist. Beauty and sufficiency—twin qualities of the cosmos itself—are the gods of this aristocratic and pagan type; to the worshipper of such eternal things the supreme virtue will not be found in lowliness, attachment, obedience, and emotional messiness. This sort of worshipper will look for that which best embodies the loveliness of the stars and the worlds and the forests and the seas and the sunsets, and which best acts out the blandness, lordliness, accuracy, self-sufficiency, cruelty, independence, and contemptuous and capricious impersonality of all-governing Nature. Beauty—coolness—aloofness—philosophic repose—self-sufficiency—untamed mastery—where else can we find these things incarnated with even half the perfection and completeness that mark their incarnation in the peerless and softly gliding cat, which performs its mysterious orbit with the relentless and unobtrusive certainty of a planet in infinity?

>>meows all night and won’t let you sleep
skill issue
my cat comes into my room and meows at me around 10pm because he wants me to go to sleep so he can sleep next to me. once I get in bed he quietly lays with me all night and doesn't even wake up until I wake up

Lovecraft died penniless and childless, was known for late night fraternizing with openly gay men, flunked out of school due to dysgraphia, and the themes common in his stories (noble races degenerating) bordered on his own racial insecurity as a degenerate but still racist white man who came from good stock.

All true and yet every paragraph in his cats and dogs essay is factual, name literally one incorrect assertion
>>
>>5064151
all of them. he’s just a miserable loner so the actual them is how badly he wants to get away from any social responsibility. any need to interact with other social entities.

in actuality dogs and cats are just animals. both can be trained, many cultures let both roam free. cats are more asocial so you don’t even have to interact with them as long as they get to chase string. dogs are social so they require more reciprocation, novelty and communication.

the essay is about how, to lovecraft, even that small amount of interaction is too reminiscent of the society he hates and doesn’t feel like he belongs in.

the animals are both fine, factually. but the writer expresses a strong desire to never have to utter another word or make any more concessions to others.

His entire assertion that cats are more intelligent is false. Dogs have been objectively proven to possess much richer mental states through comparative brain studies. Even dumb dog breeds have more than double the cortical neurons of cats.

He also implied cats were special in being worshiped by high civilisations particularly ancient Egypt. In reality dogs also had burial sites and a sacred city. Not to mention Anubis a canine figure was arguably their most important and central of gods.

Pests adapted to cats. They evade them better and reproduce faster. Native mammals did not. Outdoor cats actually make pests more common by eradicating native animals and freeing up new mouse habitat, with cats as the only predator, which mice can deal with. Your retarded african myths about cats can’t trump 10,000 years of domestic rodent evolution. In the presence of cats, free pest rodents simply hide and spend less time at each food source. Only cat-naive lab rats unconditionally avoid cat urine and only in small experimental areas.

Numerous so called charities turn feral cats loose as pest control. Every single one has failed to achieve measurable results. Anecdotal, yes, "i see fewer rats", but every serious study to date has confirmed the rat population only grows out of sight.
