h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello clyde. I've noticed the same thing with my cats, although when they need attention, they seem to eat flowers and/or vomit.

And welcome to h2g2!

I wish I could have a cat here, but the person I share with has allergy problems with them :-(. We were even talking about getting a cat for a mascot at the store where I work until the owner went and bought a dog which he brings to work with him most days :-( :-(. Dogs are the bane of my life - we moved here two weeks ago to get away from a pair of dogs which bark incessently and at all hours of the day and night (see http://www.h2g2.com/F19585?thread=82398), only to find that our new neighbour has four of the yappiest chihuahuas known to humankind. If I didn't side with the Buddhists on the matter of not harming other creatures, I'd already be plotting their downfall. You might have already heard this one, but I'll go ahead anyway.... What's the difference between a dog and a cat? Well, if you're, for instance, putting up a shelf, and there is a dog and a cat watching, the dog will be thinking "I love you. I really, really love you. I don't known why, I just love you." The cat, on the other hand, will be thinking "Naaaah, you need a bigger Rawlplug for that screw." :-D
