Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Honestly, I think when I first made this thread back in 2015, I was just frustrated with the number of people who hated cats but loved dogs.
Now I've just come to the conclusion that I'm fine if people prefer dogs, and I'm even fine if people don't care for cats...just as long as they don't harm them.
I do like some dogs, my mom has a new puppy that is absolutely adorable.
And back then I said we weren't planning on getting anymore cats...but now we have 5. Sadly, one passed away in 2017.
The ones we have are all rescues, and they're all spoiled. And one of them just so happens to be the classic Halloween black cat too...and the silliest thing to ever exist.
I think the take home message is that it all really depends on personal preference. I'm still 100% a cat person, but I'm more open to dogs than I used to be. But I don't think my cats would be too happy if I brought one in. I MIGHT get one one day, but I'd HAVE to get a puppy if that happens, so I can teach him or her to respect the cats and see them as part of their pack.
Also Murf, good on you to take care of those kitties. Sometimes we humans have to step in and be the heroes animals need. I agree that they are equally affectionate in their own ways though.

I grew up with dogs and always thought of myself as a dog person, but I have learned I am an animal person. I love them all.

Nothing wrong with liking both, Murf. All animals deserve care and compassion.

Yeah? My cat is evil! Black cat of course. I could write a book on the things this cat has done to me. He knows I'm talking about him now! Staring at me like he's gonna go for my throat! He... ARRRRGHHH!!!!!!!!

Come on, Nevermore. Cats aren't evil. They probably just want attention.

Only one animal is truly capable of evil; humans.

Smurfs are evil!? Naw...they're cute little things...aren't they?

...wait what was that!? I saw a streak of blue...what's that hiding in the corner behind my computer....

AHHHHH!!!! -psycho music plays in the background-

Sooooon........

Andy has a black cat also?!? What did we do to bring this evil upon us?

'We' don't have a black cat, they choose us.

He is my brothers, and up until 3 years they had another, demonic female.

I wasn't around when she crossed over but I'm certain it involved a portal to hell.

My black cat is way too silly to be evil.

My cat forced me to watch the first season of American Gods tonight.
He loves this show because he's named after the main character.
He also has a teeny spot of white on his chest, hence "Shadow Moon".
Like it was meant to be!
