Is it just me, or are Cats less beloved, and percieved as bad and/or stupid and/or high-strung and/or annoying on TV and by the majority of the US? I mean, I can't give many examples, but it seems like anytime a cat is on TV it's to portray them in a bad light.
Take a recent (I think) Pepsi commercial, where the guy makes a sandwich and gets a pepsi, doorbell rings, and the dog eats and drinks the meal, and then puts the cat on the counter next to the empty plate so it gets blamed! First off, it's just not nice, second, I doubt any cat would let itself be picked up by a cat's mouth, and third, no human would believe a cat ate a sandwich 1/3rd the size of it and drank a 12 oz pepsi in 25 seconds when there is a dog around. :roll:
Even my beloved Star Trek, the one series, the Next Generation, Data's cat Spot was always a mis-behaved pain in the butt. Why? I don't know. DS9, another Trek show, had a cat in one episode and it was nice, well behaved, loved, loveable. DS9 was a better show, too, but I digress.
Why are cats not as accepted as dogs?
Even in movies, there was one about the war between Cats and Dogs, and cats where the bad guys! WHY?
It sucks!
Cats rule!
Dogs drool! lol
