| Yeah I think it was the cat under the car next door, but when I went to ask him, he just told me to bugger off. |

| Most of the cats we see are feral and that accounts for their behavior, but there may be an extra element to it, too. Koreans do hunt cats for use as medicine. Animals that are hunted are subject to evolutionary pressures. Friendly, approachable cats end up as cat soup more often and don't leave as many kittens as scaredy-cats. |

Lately I saw this cool 'bullcat', a macho ruler male strutting down the street like a gunslinger. It kept a parked car between itself and me as casually as survival rule for a streetcat #26.

Damn, that's funny. Was he smoking Marlboros and cursing, too? |

| Indeed. The way in which people regard animals says a great deal about their humanity. In this country, case closed. |

We all have cultural blind spots. I suppose you think the Italians and Spanish are lesser human beings too? |

of course not, because they look like us ---
oh my gosh! i'm a racist!
but i see your point, privateer. though i also understand coolsage's idea that how people treat animals says a great deal about how humane they are. |
