sweet. Kittins are much cuter than cats, I think. I've never had a cat or a dog as a pet

Because you seem like a well balanced ordinary geezer with a capacity for empathy.

Eating, sex and survival.
Humans tend to choose one to specialise in though.

Their primary motivation is to get one step better on the slime covered ladder than you. Most of them are thick, so just confront them head on and they'll back away.
Be who you are and be a bit hard faced. You'll have most of them prostrated in 60 seconds.

And if I'm honest, I was never really bothered.
I went thought phases of liking the idea of a pet, but I don't think I would really have enjoyed the reality.
I have no interest in cats or dogs or whatever.
We're just not animal lovers in my family.

And it breaks my heart that people mistreat animals.
If you don't feel it please don't do it.

I've been a vegetarian for more than half of my life.
I just don't want them living in my house.

It's not a loaded question - My diet is about 90% vegetarian.

I watched a cat stalk and then kill a rabbit, then went home and was very aware of the meat we were having for lunch.
It appalled me and I didn't really want to eat it anymore.
I guess I just don't want to be responsible for the death of anything.
I've never missed it.

My ex-wife was vegetarian, and showed me the conditions that some farm animals live in. That turned me.

If you want to provide meat for millions of people, you don't have room for sentimentality.
I don't kid myself that nothing dies for me, I know that using animals is so ingrained in the infrastructre of our lives that it is impossible to avoid all meat industry byproducts, but I try to be as ethical as I can.

That's fair enough. Some lke 'em, some don't.
But you don't pretend to like them, then neglect them.
That is cruelty.And unforgivable in my book.
