Title: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: I, Zimbra on July 07, 2006, 07:14:30 PM Forget Bourne vs. Bauer... this is the poll to end all polls!
Now, I know we have quite a few monkeys in this forum... Matt of course, plus danmonkey, SupaMonkey, monkeydonkey and 'da poker monkey'. I know there are also quite a few cats out there as well... recently AcidMouse (despite the name) flirted with the concept of being a cat, we have JungleCat of course - also a smellycat, a 'redcat88' and a cat-man. Some of you might remember that when I first joined this forum, I was a cat: (http://www.innocentia-cats.com/images/machine_gun_cat.gif) ...and later on, I switched and became a monkey (A monkey king, actually): (http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/340000/images/_341007_monkey150.jpg) So.. who wins? Cats or Monkeys? YOU DECIDE! :D Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: mikkyT on July 07, 2006, 07:26:33 PM Whilst I think that monkeys do rock, no monkey can ever claim to do this:

Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: Gryff on July 07, 2006, 10:08:32 PM Man that's a big cat! It's been using Weight Gain 2000 ever since it tried fighting this rabbit and lost.

Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: thetank on July 07, 2006, 10:42:45 PM I'm going to have nightmares tomorrrow morning now.
Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: I, Zimbra on July 08, 2006, 01:22:56 AM damn that rabbit is scary I certainly wouldn't want to take on the owsla that he comes from. Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: I, Zimbra on July 09, 2006, 12:22:11 AM At the moment, the monkeys definitely have the upper hand in the poll.
Speaking of which, this monkey (http://www.brud.info/video/monkey_washing_cat.mov) also certainly seems to be taking a cat 'to the cleaners'... Where are all the cat lovers? I expect our resident dog-mocker to immediately leap to the rescue with an impassioned case for the defence (of cats)... Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: Ginger on July 09, 2006, 12:32:13 AM I'm shocked JungleCat hasn't replied to this thread yet!
Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: I, Zimbra on July 11, 2006, 02:03:53 AM The cats are catching up...
(http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/bigcats/images/photoessay/1.jpg) ...but the monkeys still have the lead... Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: NoflopsHomer on July 11, 2006, 02:19:05 AM You vote against this little guy? ???

Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: Rod Paradise on July 11, 2006, 05:34:56 PM Simple test, are there any creatures whose main food item is a Cat?
No Are there any creatures whose main food item is a Monkey? (http://www.worldlandtrust.org/archive/archived/mk_eagle.jpg) Cats Win. Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: JungleCat03 on July 11, 2006, 06:41:32 PM Wow, can't beleive there is even a debate about this.
1. Fastest land mammal? Cheetah of course with Cats making up 2 of the top 4 spots and even the domestic cat zooms in ahead of humans (monkeys don't seem to have been included but I'm guessing they are around human speed.) You have a need, a need for speed? Call a cat.. Animal Speed (miles per hour) Cheetah 70 Pronghorn Antelope 61 Wildebeest 50 Lion 50 Thomson's Gazelle 50 Quarterhorse 47.5 Elk 45 Cape Hunting Dog 45 Coyote 43 Gray Fox 42 Hyena 40 Zebra 40 Mongolian Wild Ass 40 Greyhound 39.35 Whippet 35.5 Rabbit (domestic) 35 Mule Deer 35 Jackal 35 Reindeer 32 Giraffe 32 White-Tailed Deer 30 Wart Hog 30 Grizzly Bear 30 Cat (domestic) 30 Human 27.89 Elephant 25 Black Mamba Snake 20 Six-Lined Race Runner 18 Wild Turkey 15 Squirrel 12 Pig (domestic) 11 Chicken 9 Spider (Tege. atrica) 1.17 Giant Tortoise 0.17 Three-Toed Sloth 0.15 Garden Snail 0.03 2. King of the Jungle. Well-renowned for holding this title, the lion commands obedience from all those around him. As King of the Jungle, defiance of the lion is in fact treason punishable by mauling. Matt, I would watch out! Regal, elegant and dominant. Lions pwn all. 3. So cats are virtually perfect physical specimens. But we knew that already. What makes cats even better is they can be cuddly, cute, entertaining as well! Scared of dogs? Dont be stupid. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jhr8jOlVb4I&search=cute%20cat I could go on more about cats. That's enough for now. As for monkeys, surely this is the final nail in the coffin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFpfwwHtpa8&search=monkeys. The defence rests. Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: Tonji on July 11, 2006, 06:45:12 PM I always thought I could out run an Elk if the need ever arose!!!

At least we dont have to call the fire bridage out to rescue us from trees!!! :D Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: Ginger on July 11, 2006, 08:00:13 PM The cats don't want rescuing, it's their owners that want it! If they can get up the tree, they certainly can get back down again!
Don't make me break out the big guns, I have 6 10day old kittens downstairs, all wobbly on their feet still, big blue eyes.... Piccies of them would be enough to turn ANY vote! Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys. Post by: matt674 on July 11, 2006, 08:14:09 PM dont get me wrong - i like cats and yes they are cute but given the choice
NO CONTEST!! :D And i have pics of mine when they were cute too!! [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: Cats Versus Monkeys.
