Perhaps, but my cat doesn't speak human or English, so when I call him
Gertrude or Smudgepot, he gives me the same look as when I call him
Hodge, Yo Boy, or Sweetie. (Trust me, he goes by Gertrude more often
than not.)


I call my cat "fatso catso" when I groom her but she still purrs and rubs
her nose up against my hand. If she has feelings about being called names,
they certainly aren't bad ones!

I think we truly do animals and their natures a disservice when we
anthropomorphize them.


I agree. And I wonder why only some animals are worthy of
anthropomorphizing but not others? Cats have feelings but the cow that was
killed for your dinner doesn't? Or that fly you just squished?

I think he is talented but his anti-cat statements is one of the reasons
that right now his music will not see airplay on Cat Galaxy.

I bet he will be really broken up about that.

Clay Aiken is entitled to his opinions, but expressing
inflammatory opinions like "cats are Satan" and "nothing is worse than a
housecat" gives a message to his fans (who don't seem too bright- I've been
to the website) that they can abuse cats and it's no big deal. Celebrities
have a certain responsiblity as role models.

PETA does something every day to help animals. Protesting abuses and
making
them public is a very important step in protecting animals who can't
protect
themselves. Clay Aiken is entitled to his opinions, but expressing
inflammatory opinions like "cats are Satan" and "nothing is worse than a
housecat" gives a message to his fans (who don't seem too bright- I've

don't normally agree with PETA but I think this message sends a clear
warning to Aiken to stand up and apologize.

Or PETA will break his kneecaps?

Why doesn't PETA do something to actually help animals?
