What they should do is to arrest the people who are using their dogs to harras other people.

I agreed to baby-sit him for while his newer owner was in America. I was lying in bed and he would sniff my hair and then salivate. I let Max (his name) do it once... I got all slobbered on and got the creepies like when the hair raises. He tried doing it again while I was lying in the bed in the dark of the night and I shooed him away and he bit and scratched the hell out of my arm leaving a gaping wound. Although he was a quote unquote domestic cat he escaped into my yard and patrolled the walls and kicked out all the alley cats. That cat was psycho. He definitely was the overlord in the house. I called the vet everybody knows in Riyadh and apparently Max was a patient of his. The Vet may have overstepped his patient doctor privileges because although he did tell me Max had all his shots...he also told me that Max was the attack cat. The King's grandson happened to be at my house that day...(the sweetest boy ever) and he gave me a look of compassion when I said, "Damn ever the male cats in Saudi Arabia attack me" I was attacked by a Siamese cat who lived at King Faisal Hospital for the longest time like twelve years.

They treat you like dirt, eat you out of hearth and home, puke on your shoes when offended, and pretend to be asleep when called on to kill the odd rodent. How would we humans remember our lowly status if it were not for our feline overlords?

Common what should i do to my cats?!?!

They save lives, protect good people like police officers who are apprehending criminals and sniff drugs. They do so many great things. You should research further. They have saved families from burgulars and fires etc. Just keep loving your cats... Abs Yasin…why are you cool with dogs?

O.K. "no reason". Are you or anyone else the "reason police"? Did Allah desigate you as such or anyone else because teacher says they are failing. Should I have a list of reasons posted on my head or front door? Reasons why I have a canine other than that they are cute and fuzzy: 1. If you come stepping on my territory, my dog is going to rip YOU to pieces, or my pussy is going scratch you good GOOD ENOUGH REASON!!!! Furthermore, I am on a roll now. O.K. “no reason”.

If I am not mistaken, they were fleeing an unjust ruler and society and they didn't leave their dog behind in that unjust society. They also rescued it. The dog was fine for those pious individuals to hang with as Allah mentions in the Quran. Who are you or anyone else to say differently. It is all about control. Don't you people get it? Are muttawa afraid people are going to have sexual relations with their pets or what? I am not getting it.

The religious vice cops see the dogs as a threat to their own existence. They won't be able to harrass people or kick down their door without getting their ass bitten up. Let’s get real here.
