Grrrrr

Wilson bares his fangs at an article on the BBC which suggests that dog owners recieve greater rewards than cat owners. 'The companionship offered by many pets is thought to be good for you, but the benefits of owning a dog outstrip those of cat owners, the study says.' Journalists should think about the feelings of their readers before they went around publishing unsubstantiated, immoral and misleading articles.

Wilson bares his fangs

We actually tried to put some stuff on our cat for your blogging entertainment, and to prove what fun cats are but Wilson was entirely unimpressed and shook off the pen and bit of plastic we had draped on him. I am prepared to concede that Dooce has more success in putting stuff on her dog. But a rigorous training regime is beginning. Chiles on Wilson

And, in further cat blogging news, please forgive the delay in drawing your attention to this article (via Sorrow at Sills Bend) on the feminist poetics of catblogging.

Views from the Floor

Belinda Quantock says:

What a nasty bit of doggy propaganda! I love our dogs but nothing beats the TLC a burmese cat can deliver. Bare your fangs in triumph Wilson!
