I love that you
pointed them out to the cat. 'There look... killll him'.

I used to try this with my dog, he would usually get all excited and bite the end of my finger. :(

I once tried this with the neighbours' cat
The silly bugger pawed the thing a bit and then picked it up in his mouth. Was he going to eat it, as I hoped?

No, the daft feline started to bring the thing over to me, perhaps to offer as some sort of present. Being the poofcowardly arachnophobe that I am I went and hid.

Hehehe
Thats brilliant!!

I used to have to stop my dog from eating wasps, he was playing a very dangerous game there! Thing is I have a terrible fear of wasps so cue me in the garden with a broom shooing wasps from a safe distance with my dog trying to eat the broom. Fun.

That's even brillianter!

Dogs can be tremendously funny at the most inappropriate times.

Exactly.
I do love dogs, they're all different kinds of mental. Cats scare me a little bit, I feel like they would eat me if only they were a bit bigger, whereas dogs, well, they're just a bit daft, no ulterior motive other than ‘If I let her pet me, she might give me biscuits’.

I'm more scared of dogs than cats
and this is irrational, becuase my cat has inflicted far more terrible injuries upon me than any dog ever has.
I mean, I have scars.

As ever, more evidence for my theory
Dogs = loveable.

Cats = less so.

ah yes, but
you're so much more grateful for the small scraps of affection carefully administered by a cat
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 11:31, Reply)

This is the thing.
I do understand that dogs are little buggers too but I have a fear of cats because of the scratchy madness, they scratch you when they love you, they scratch you when they don't, I never know where I stand. I suppose you learn to understand there many moods, I just feel like things are more straightforward with dogs.

I have scars too, my old german shepherd nearly blinded me by landing on me in the garden and sticking his paw on my face. I have a scar about a cm away from my eye. Gar.

I believe
that Jack Dee did a sketch where he was talking about dogs and cats reactions to DIY (specifically, erecting a shelf)

Dog: "I love you. I don't know what you're doing, but I love you."

Cat: ", I'm not putting my books up there."

I've tried doing this with my cat as well
and he ignores them. Loves chasing and chewing the wings off moths though

UGH!!
But where did the exo-thingy go? Did it fall all crusty on to my duvet and did I inadvertently touch it?

AND YES! The cat does sometimes bite my finger instead, but mostly he does my bidding. And when he eats spiders and flies, he looks like he's grinning.

Into you mouth,
I reckon.
It fell in the night, then you chewed it.

It was 10 years ago, yet i still just brushed my lips to make sure there were no exo-thingies on them

I'm still not gonna kiss you, EVER.
Just in case there are eggs.
( Cawl, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 11:31, Reply)

stop it!
My lips don't have spiders or exo-things or eggs or cobwebs on them.
The only time there's anything other than lippy on them is when I'm drunk and it's dark and the music is loud. They're clean!!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 11:33, Reply)

I guess the eggs could've hatched and
Burrowing might have taken place.
