Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2004Catwoman
I just saw an interview with Halle Berry in regards to the movie Catwoman. Interestingly she said that she hates cats yet she had to live with one in order to prepare for the movie. She felt cats were too independent and aloof and that she has dogs. In the same interview she said she now loves her cat. Interesting how she accepts a role where the hero models everything after the cat after saying she hates them. I guess like some humans, she slowly became partly a cat person. I have to wonder where shot got her cat now. Let's hope this feline was adopted from a shelter.  SignaturePanther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com I saw the same interview and found it interesting that she played Catwoman but hates cats (or at least use to). Why do people think cats are aloof??? I think it's because they aren't around cats and just make that assumption.

If the only cats a person is exposed to are aloof and unfriendly, the person generalizes to think ALL cats are that way. The truth is, a lot of cats love their humans to death and are affectionate as all get out with them, but they don't trust strangers much. So IME, people who have never had a cat of their own tend to have this sort of opinion about them. My 2 cents, anyway. Signature-- ~kaeli~ Never say, "Oops!"; always say, "Ah, interesting!" http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace The people who think cats are aloof and hate them are usually dog people. There have been plenty of times I have encountered dog lovers who bash cats for whatever the reason. I think it will always be cats vs dogs. I of course will always be on the side of cats.

There are more well integrated dog/cat households than you could count and people who love both. It's not cats-versus-dogs. Some people have a preference, but all cat lovers don't hate dogs, like you do. Sherry > That's total bullshit.

And birds and fish and turtles and squirrels and wolves and daddy long-leg spiders and ladybugs and horses and bunnies and...and... I don't think anybody can classify themselves as an animal lover if they hate dogs.

I think it's like Kaeli said, it's what you've been exposed to. After getting Bubbas 3 years ago (may he rest in peace), I've very much become a cat-dog person. They each have their different positives, but a lot of it is individualized. I have a cat that acts a lot like a dog, and I know dogs that are very cat-like. I'm actually jonesing for a dog right now, but am waiting till my boyfriend returns from his summer job so we can pick one together. Of course, my Audrey will *not* be pleased *at all* by another dog, I'm going to try to get one a little smaller this time. :) Not everyone has the same loony psyche that CP does, for sure! > I'm actually >jonesing for a dog right now, but am waiting till my boyfriend returns >from his summer job so we can pick one together.

I haven't had the heart to get another one since we lost Happy but I sure miss having one. Sherry I read the book, I can't wait to see the movie!!

She adopted her snow Bengal co-star. Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat?

Well, as the cat is a snow Bengal trained for movie work, it'd be a pretty good guess for 'from a breeder'. Actually, it's a slam dunk as the breeder of said Bengal is on a Bengals list I'm on. Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat? Read This! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/orchid That is very sad then. Another person who adopts a cat from a breeder instead of one from a shelter. It's bad enough we have an overpopulation problem but to deny a cat from the shelter a good home is even worse.

She went from being someone who didn't like cats to one who's willing to adopt her (admittedly specially bred and trained) co-star, so I'd chalk that up as a victory for cat lovers, rather than whine about homeless kitties in shelters. Who knows, Ms Berry may well go on to adopt some homeless kitty one day. One small step at a time, I say! Devlin Perth, Australia |
