Hehe, I like how I've sidetracked this whole discussion with one sentence. I just merely stated that I had never heard of a cat saving someone's life, while it almost expected for a dog to try. If you have a cat and you like it, that it all well and good; it doesn't affect me one way or the other. I don't think a lot of people dislike cats because they've seen mean ones in the past, but rather because they wonder whether the cats are there because they care about their owners or whether they are just using them for food, shelter, and being petted. As I have not owned a cat, I can not say one way or the other.

If you want to debate whether dogs are better than cats or vice versa, go for it. I think the original poster wanted to discuss the abuse of our trust by certain police officers. I appologize if I have irreparably changed the course of this thread.
