Cats Versus Monkeys.

[danmonkey]

I give cats the red card.

[Rod Paradise]

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?



Cats Win.

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..

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.

I could go on more about cats. That's enough for now.



As for monkeys, surely this is the final nail in the coffin.

The defence rests.

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!!! 

[Ginger]

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!

[matt674]

dont get me wrong - i like cats and yes they are cute but given the choice

NO CONTEST!! 

And i have pics of mine when they were cute too!!
