cover story nomination
Somehow, I don't think so :(. However, let's move it to "fun" and nominate it for "best of amusement", so at least it will turn up in "featured content" from time to time. human  17:30, 24 January 2008 (EST)


 * Heh! Heh! I know - twas intended to be lulzy & a possible test for coverstory stuff. Susan  Purrrrrrr  19:25, 24 January 2008 (EST)
 * I figured as much. I put an "approved" one on CP:conservapedian relativity to do some testing, too. human  20:26, 24 January 2008 (EST)

I say 'No'. Funny, sure, but not cover story material. DogP  21:13, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Here's an idea - it can be in "best of fun" without actually being moved there. Howzat?  ħ uman  19:50, 21 September 2008 (EDT)

I say "Yes." I am a cat lover, and think this article is one of the best on the whole wiki. It's funny, has good photos, is well made, and is lengthy but not to length. - ConservapediaUndergroundResistor

I do believe in teh power of cats to hypnotize us into being slaves. Since I'm answering "what do you believe in". cats clearly = gods,-- 20:09, 21 September 2008 (EDT)

Relocate to funspace
Would anyone object terribly if I moved this to the funspace? The article's good, but it's way off mission; it belongs in the funspace. 22:53, 3 January 2009 (EST)
 * I think many might... how about at least waiting a few days for comments? I see your point, but it's still a "pet" article, and as on-mission as goat - try moving that to fun!  ħ uman  23:09, 3 January 2009 (EST)
 * Needs stuff about LOLcats, otherwise it could stay. - User   23:10, 3 January 2009 (EST)
 * I understand, but we have a goat article in the mainspace because the goat is our mascot. Or haven't you ever heard of the Shiny Golden Rule of Mascot Exception?   00:17, 4 January 2009 (EST)
 * Well, that's the problem, the cat is a form of fifth column tertiary mascot for many users. At least it links to felidae now, so it's SCIENSE!  ħ uman  00:21, 4 January 2009 (EST)
 * Well, I'll leave it alone then. As resident tight-ass, though, I would still like to go on record as opposing this being in the mainspace.   00:27, 4 January 2009 (EST)
 * Duly noted.  ħ uman  01:37, 4 January 2009 (EST)
 * I prefer Quantum as a lulzy version - I know it's not right, but it amuses me! Toast 01:39, 4 January 2009 (EST)

AfD
Someone's gotta say this. Not mission! Delete now. 20:21, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Considering that cats were the intelligent hand behind human evolution (producing slaves to feed, house, and pet them), how can you say it's not on-mission? Also, see all the above discussions about moving it to fun, etc.  20:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Cats are not even fun. They are evil. 20:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Teleportation
The development of teleportation will involve cats. Jackiespeel (talk) 15:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

dog?
I see that there has been some discussion of moving this article from the mainspace or deleting it altogether. Are there any objections to me creating an article for "dog?" Right now dog simply redirects to cat. This bugs me for some reason. I don't wanna mess with, however, it if it's just going to get deleted for not being "on mission" or whatever. 23:52, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * [[File:You're TK.jpg]]...I mean, "Oh my God, you're CUR!!!"" P-Foster (talk) 00:23, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Dude, I'm no CUR. You're a fucking CUR...I have no idea what we're talking about... 00:32, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And that, my friend, is the problem with this place. I can almost understand people not getting a HeartofGold, a PalMD or a Bohdan reset, but if CUR is our standard for "way back in the day," I think that says something about institutional memory, and our lack of it. P-Foster (talk) 00:50, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that sucks I guess...I'll do some research...so is "dog" in or out or what? 00:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can create something on-mission for dog, or even something that's for funspace for dog, then we will have a dog article. 01:13, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Go for it. 01:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer ColinR references- they're the best! -- 02:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Move to fun space
I would like to propose that this article be merged with Fun:Cat. 05:13, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Been there; done that; got the T shirt. TerrySmall.png [[Image:Toast s.png|alt=Toast|text-bottom|20px|link=User talk:SusanG]] 05:18, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, I missed the festivities...but I gots a "fun:dog" article that I want to "publish" and it only seems fair... 05:23, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ain't gonna happen. If your dog article kicks ass, maybe it can be moved to mainspace? 06:10, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Blasphemy! Next you'll be asking to move Goat and then where will we all be? Eh? Eh? It's a slippery slope that'll lead to no good coming from it, you mark my words. Totnesmartin (talk) 09:41, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Trying to make "dog" on-mission enough to be mainspace is way too much pressure for me to handle alone. If anyone out there is bored enough to improve or critique my sandbox article please feel free. 07:34, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * My advice is not to try too hard to make "dog" on-mission. "Cat" isn't really on-mission - it's just one of the few exceptions kept in mainspace because of its longstanding popularity/status.  Can't promise the same would happen with dog, so it might have to start in funspace, but would probably be better as a light-hearted off-mission piece than something with a load of scientific stuff shoehorned in just to justify mainspace placement.  During the CUR era, we went through this dance with felidae - yoinked about around various namespaces, deleted & recreated numerous times, gruelling edit wars.  Users won't want to go down that road again.   09:58, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Then again, if it's a really nice puppy and doesn't poop on the rug much... who knows? 10:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If this goes the way of felidae I am fucking this wiki up. Jesus. Acei9 10:44, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Domestication
Surely it was #cats# who domesticated #humans# not the other way round?

82.198.250.71 (talk) 16:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * You'll find that the article claims that cats decided to let themselves be domesticated which is pretty close to my observations. Jack Hughes (talk) 17:38, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Does the mere fact that they live amongst humans and tolerate them make them domesticated?--BobSpring is sprung! 17:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have long noted that a great many people who live with cats will say they are "owned by a cat". The proportion of people who live with dogs that say they are "owned by a dog" is far smaller.
 * And remember, in ancient Egypt, cats were worshipped as gods. They have never forgotten this. MDB (talk) 17:57, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Dog thinks: "The human gives me food, gives me shelter and takes care of my needs. The Human is wonderful"
 * Cat thinks: "The human gives me food, gives me shelter and takes care of my needs. I must be wonderful" --BobSpring is sprung! 18:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

There is a reason why it is Schroedingers Cat not a cute little puppy dog, fish ... (other beastie of choice). 82.198.250.71 (talk) 18:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * If you call a dog by name, it's response will be "yes sir! yes sir! what can I do for you, sir?!"
 * If you call a cat by name, if you get a response, it will be, "have your people call my people and I'll get back to you later." MDB (talk) 19:18, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Some mention of Cat Typing and Pawsense should be made. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, BoN (82.44.143.26), you seem to want to join in the fun and make a contribution. Welcome aboard but why don't you create a user name? They're free and after only a day or two you become a fully fledged sysop and can really have fun. Jack Hughes (talk) 16:43, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

The Captcha question
To which 'cat' is the answer ignores Manx cats and cat-o-nine-tails. 171.33.222.26 (talk) 19:21, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

What about
