    This is priceless ! But then I adore cats and find everything they do, quite engrossing.

    Do you think they should consider employing trained cats (or monkeys) to perform this vital function in public restrooms in India?

    I guess, this Garfield or Heathclif or *** is fascinated n stuck with the toilet bubbles! or someone’d a “FISHY Friday”!
    cats are too cold n distant creatures.too snooty! they sneer at humans….my Dog is the heartbeat at my feet!

    Ms Ruchira Paul:
    The hinterlands offer wide open grounds & a few trees with bushes as restrooms..so we need no flushing mechanism.
    Public restrooms in Small Towns of India have Indian toilets with no water supply. so trained cats n monkeys have no role here
    Troubled waters with a sense of abandonment flow into the saline seas.so more than half the public restrooms in cities run dry.n most hesitate over toilet paper…err,paper!??!

    Ruchira,

    I think that’s a priceless suggestion. :)

    Jyo,

    I love dogs, but well if cats sneer, isn’t it with good reason?

    Dear Jyothsnay,
    At the risk of starting a conversation with you which I am sure I will not be able to finish, let me make an observation about loving cats and dogs.

    I love cats – the most perfectly formed creatures on earth according to my own sense of aesthetics. I am also an equal opportunity animal lover – cats, dogs, monkeys, raccoons, pigs, chickens, ducks and all creatures that roam the wild. At various junctures through my life since childhood, I have lived with both cats and dogs (also an assortment of birds) and loved them all with abandon. My fascination with cats is precisely due to the reasons you cite as their shortcomings. Their stand offish hauteur and refusal to jump, sit, stand or play when I ask them to – the joy of magnificent (and comforting) companionship on their terms. Conversely, I love dogs for exactly the opposite reasons – their ready compliance with my commands, willingness to submit to training and shameless eagerness to please. In other words, I love animals for what they are, not what I want them to be. In my experience, most cat lovers (weird as some are) do not draw the line at which animal behavior deserves their affection and approval. But those who claim to only love dogs at the exclusion of all other creatures, find animals with a sense of their own autonomy difficult to handle. Why so? Does that say more about people than it says about the animals?

    A a bit of historic trivia:
    Famous cat lovers: –
    Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Lord Byron, Tagore, Charles Dickens, T.S Eliot, Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Hemingway and many more of the creative types.

    Notorious feline haters:
    Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Ghenghis Khan, Napoleon, Benito Mussolini and no surprise, Adolf Hitler.

    I do agree with you about the wisdom of using the great bushy outdoors (when accessible) for bathroom activity, rather than public toilets in India. However, that is not always possible in urban settings and the pain is excruciating. Also, I forgot for a moment about empty tanks in most Indian bathrooms. So indeed a flushing cat or monkey won’t help.

    Ruchira,

    Whoa.. Strange that you can judge the character of a person based on whether he or she likes cats or dogs. Do you mean to say that cat lovers are peaceful and intelligent, while cat haters are not..

    BTW, I neither hate nor love cats or dogs..

    I like tom and jerry though. grrrr boww wwooww.. meeeoooowww

    Shadows:

    Of course not all cat lovers are brilliant like the people I named. Those are just some famous people who loved cats. Being creative means that they can also be a bit loony sometimes. But generally cat lovers tend to be open to new ideas and tolerant of others. I guess that would make them secularists. :-)

    I think you can tell a bit about people’s character from which animals they find attractive. But more telling may be which animals they “don’t” like.

    Fervent cat haters have usually been found to be control freaks. (Mussolini and Napoleon are said to have had fits at the sight of a cat. It was a disease.) Hence the list includes so many dictators and military types.

    But don’t worry. Most people are not so clearly either / or. Some are like me – love all animals. Some are like you – mostly indifferent.

    >> I guess that would make them secularists.

    Where does secularism come into the picture ?!!??

    BTW, does my indifference make me a communal bigoted fanatic (and all the other usual buzzwords that secularists like to throw around for people like me, who are indifferent to burqas and people blowing themselves up, but demand equality).

    Or does liking Tom and Jerry reveal a lot more? meeeooww.. meeaaaow. (tone of Tom in the MGM logo)

  10. shadows, on February 9th, 2007 at 5:49 pm Said:

    Just to add, secularism or not was not on my mind at all. I just had violent vs non-violent in mind when you cited examples of catlovers and cat haters. It was just something that I found interesting.

    Poor cat… Meeeooowwww.. what will it do with all those nine lives?

    Also, our dictator would like dogs. :) Do you?

    Personally, I think German Shepherds are cool. Cos they look like wolves. Or maybe cos Hitler’s army used them.

  11. Ruchira Paul, on February 9th, 2007 at 5:52 pm Said:

    No, Shadows. That wouldn’t make you anything in particular.

    Why are you reading more into what I said? There is no zero sum game here I am playing. I was talking about cat lovers, not those who don’t care either way.

    Stop being paranoid !

    where did you land…have not you heard of Ostrich theory, which could conveniently be called as :ridiculous Flush theory?…cats n dogs n a bit of chic intelligence with a generous dose of eager back-patin secularism…come out of this quickly..

  14. Gaurav, on February 11th, 2007 at 5:16 pm Said:

    The thing is,

    Cat was worshipped by Egyptians, so having any affection for cat is definitely heresy and all the cat lover must be stoned, if they refuse to repent and recant.

    On the other hand as the holy Q, the word of Allah the merciful, revealed to M (PBUH) clearly states that Dog is a filthy animal, Dog lovers must persuaded to see the light of reason, if not, they should be dispatched to eternal torment of hell as is just law of almighty the compassionate.

    I hope my incisive comment would have put all the doubts of pious to rest.

    ======

    Ruchira,

    You mentioned secularism first, not me. I just responded to what you stated, if you note.

    Who is paranoid now ?

    Anyway, dont bother much :) The intention of my comment was not to go on this track.

    tut tut, our dear Dictator is under an invidious effect of love

    …when we are fighting tooth and claw here!
    At the feet of humans, and unknown to them, cats and dogs live in an alternative universe of spies and counteragents. The cats are out to take over the universe. The dogs are out to stop them. Humans, meanwhile, go on as they always do, clueless….

    Dear Jyothsnay:
    Did someone already tell you that you comments here amount to parallel blogging – a poetic yin to Confused’s prosaic yang. I for one come here as often to see what you might have to say on certain matters as Confused’s point of view. Although I must confess you lose me some time in your dense trail of thoughts. :-)

    The cat – dog issue is really inspirational. I filched this one from Confused. I have also resisted all temptations to turn my own blog into a kitty-doggy forum which would have been easy to do. So far, my lovely cats have not been featured there except once as an artist’s rendition (my own). I invite you to visit (and comment if you wish).

    P.S: Confused, forgive my shameless blogwhoring. But I wanted Jyothna’s artistic input.
