This is a new project I am working on. I am starting the new WWFF Wrestling Federation. The WWFF stands for Wild Wacky Furry Friends. I didn't even ask for Carrie's permission before coming up with this idea.

This forum will be designed for entertainment purposes only to settle the age-old debate about Cats versus Dogs. To properly start this project I would need a referee/promoter to sell the idea to the general public. Originally, I went to Vince McMahon about this idea. But the thought of Vince strutting around the ring in his "Mr. McMahon" character as the pompous boss acting macho around a bunch of kittens and puppies just wouldn't work. There would be chew toys and pet treats flying everywhere and it would be impossible to correograph a fight with Vince and pets involved.

I am choosing AnnaMarie Lucas, the pretty ASPCA officer from the Animal Cops show. Not only is she good with animals but she can handle humans as well. I remember watching an episode where AnnaMarie and her team approached a house in the Bronx that was suspected of raising Pit Bulls for fighting purposes. Anna knocked on the door and this big muscular guy answered the door. "My name is AnnaMarie with ASPCA, we have reason to suspect you are abusing your Pit Bulls, may we come in?"

"I've done nothing wrong!" the guy said, "You always go after dog owners! I'll bet you are a skanky cat-owning b----! I'm not letting you in my crib!"

About 90 seconds into the episode, AnnaMarie had this mountain of a man on the living room floor with handcuffs on while he was crying like a church on Monday. AnnaMarie looks into the camera and says, "People that hate cats, will come back as mice in their next life." Okay, AnnaMarie, I won't argue with you. I will take your word for it !

Because I am a dog owner I have my own bias. It isn't that I am a cat-hater. I like cats -- I like OTHER people's cats. But I see more reasons to own a dog than I do a cat.

I always look forward to come home from work and get greeted at the door with Joanie and Diablo's tails and bodies wagging at me. My dogs are happy to see me come home from work. Cats seem to be annoyed that you went to work without them.

Dogs can be trained to be rescue and service dogs. I have never heard of a drug-sniffing cat or a seeing-eye cat.  Also, cats can't spell but dogs can do math. Simply put 3 Snausages in your pocket and feed them only 2 -- then watch then fun. Dogs love us!! When we dog-owners feed and take care of our them - our dogs think, "My owners must be god!" When you feed and take care of your cat they think - "I must be god!" 

In ancient Egypt, Bast was the daughter of the sun god Ra. The remaining statues of Bast show her with the body of a woman and the head of a cat. Cats were very sacred animals to the ancient Egyptians. Anyone caught harming or killing a cat, even by accident, was stoned to death, because cats guarded the royal food supply and chased away the vermin. Most humans don't know about this, but every cat on planet Earth is armed with this information.

"Allright, Mark, because you a dog-owner your opinion is much too biased. What about the kittens?"

There is a plus side to owning a cat. For instance, cats are notorious self-groomers. I would wager to say that cats are probably cleaner than most of my co-workers. It isn't that dogs aren't groomers too, but they seem to go a certain place-that-I-can't-write-in-a-blog.  In the animal kingdom, I believe that dogs have the cleanest place-that-I-can't-write-in-a-blog ever!!!

You don't have to take your cat for walks outside on a leash, but a few people choose to. Cats don't need as much exercise. Dogs love to run around outside and follow us - they love the exercise. Cats get their exercise by clawwing up the furniture and scratching at your pant legs. (OK, I apologize for that one - a cheap shot on my part.)

Amazingly, if you go on YouTube. Cats can be trained to use the toilet.......and flush it!! I've seen the videos. My dogs would never go for that.

But enough about dogs and cats. To make this WWFF Wrestling Federation legitimate, I decided to scope out the competition. From what I can tell, there are far too many dog owners on here than cat owners.

In the puppy corner, we have Kathleen's dogs, Dino and Sammy. The Rat Pack would be an excellent marketing tool!! If you saw the old Ocean's Eleven, you don't mess around with the Rat Pack. We have a perfect Jack Russell tag team pair with Cisco's dog Cotton and Spauldo's dog Woody. I loved the video on Cisco's page with Cotton drying himself off after his bath. I am leaving Spauldo's other dog Biscuit out the picture. He is too adorable for wrestling in his suit and tie. I think Beth's dogs Phoebe Boofay and Tater would be another excellent team in this WWFF.  I have other designs for her chihuahua Beanie Baby. My cajun friend on here, Peter from Metarie, whom I have never given a shout-out too has a chi named Gigi. The chihuahua team is up for grabs between Gigi, Beanie Baby and Diablo. PostalTexan has a natural with Turbo the Terror, but Cisco and Arlo show a lot of promise. And ME has a dog named Bo with a lot of potential. I think he could team up with Keisha's dog, Usher.

In the kitten corner, we all know about Carrie's kittens, Milo and Otis - but there is a double threat with Levi and Lilo too. I saw a picture of Levi wearing a crown on his head like he was wearing the WWFF Championship belt. Shannon has a gorgeous gray cat whose name I forgot.........sorry, Shannon.

I must confess, I should have written the pets names down somewhere before I started this blog - I am only relying on my memory. If I mispelled your pets name or left them out, I apologize. Perhaps, I am management material.

Whether we love dogs or cats, they all give us love and affection. The only downside that I can see whether you own a dog or a cat is that their life is just too short. Really!!
