Inquiring minds want to know your cat ownership details, cross-referenced against your preferences for Ennis and/or Jack!! This will be interesting! Photos of your cat or cats required for proper documentation, so we know you aren't just pulling our tail!!

Disclaimer: Yes, I know Jack and Ennis were not cowboys. But, somehow, "Cats and ranch hands" just doesn't have a good alliterative ring to it!! So cut me some Lee-way on this!

I'm pro-Ennis and I own two tabby cats (mum and son) - one inside, one outside..

No cats (allergy,

) Ennis wouldn't be Ennis without Jack, so the word isn't quite "prefer" for me. But Ennis.

And you, Madame Pollstress?

Front-Ranger · « **Reply #3 on:** April 07, 2007, 05:51:00 pm »

Thanks for asking! As is well known I am quite a Jackaholic. That's why I hardly ever read any fanfiction, because Jack is usually absent from the ones I see. Either that, or they're someplace else other than Wyoming, and that makes no sense to me at all! I have allergies to long-haired cats, so my cats have always been tabbies. Here's a pic of my cat Diva keeping me company by the fire today!

I owe you a couple of pictures of Titania (siamese/tabby mix) and her brother Oberon (tabby) at a future date

Thanks for voting, Lynne! Jack lovers/tabby owners pull into an early lead!!

The continuance of civilzation as we know it hinges on these questions, everybody!! So, damn the sheep, drop everything and VOTE!!

brokebackjack · « **Reply #8 on:** April 08, 2007, 11:08:29 pm »

I can't vote, i like alley cats who want to get to know you, not Siamese.

Front-Ranger · « **Reply #9 on:** April 08, 2007, 11:22:05 pm »

That would fall under "I like Jack and I don't own a cat."

brokebackjack · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2007, 11:24:55 pm »

We DO have a dog, she's nice and all but I like cats. Cats are animals that you can feed forever, but if they don't like you you can drop dead after dinner. You have to EARN a cat liking you, and then they are buds for good.

David In Indy · « **Reply #11 on:** April 09, 2007, 12:41:38 am »

I have a tuxedo cat and a dog... a golden retriever!

And I prefer both Jack and Ennis!

There was a time when I preferred Ennis, until somebody named MELISSA turned me on to Jack!

Now I'm confused!!

Thanks a lot Melissa!

OK, if you insist

I own a dog and I'm an Ennis girl. But I would love to have a cat again...

Front-Ranger · « **Reply #13 on:** April 09, 2007, 09:24:17 am »

Jack and tabbies are still in the lead!!

Cameron · « **Reply #14 on:** April 09, 2007, 10:42:51 am »

I voted, I understood the great social importance of this question.

I prefer Ennis, and no cat or dog.

Front-Ranger · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2007, 11:06:25 am »

Early results show that Jack-lovers are more likely to have cats, and Ennis-lovers are more likely to have dogs or no pets. This follows logic; Ennis was close to four-footed animals, those that walk upon the earth. While Jack was not shown to be close to cats, he did hunt birds (eagles) like cats do. And he did throw a fit in order to be able to carve his own turkey!!

Trying to be difficult, eh? That Jack is always "bi" in everything!

Well, then, vote for "I own a dog." It's nothing to be ashamed of! I, a cat person, have a mutt myself.

No cats at my house I too am terribly allergic, even as a child the barn cats had to stay away from our house. I ha ve dogs and love both Ennis and Jack for different reasons

brokebackjack · « **Reply #18 on:** April 10, 2007, 01:08:47 am »

I love cats. love cats love cats love cats. had em all my life, especialy the outdoorsy ones who needed a home. Like Spot, the Maine Coon I dug out of a dumpster off of Park Avenue, where he had been stuck in a box and thrown away...

now that I'm married we have my wife's dog, who is a very nice old dog, yeah.

but it ain't a cat, it's a dumbassed DOG

No Calico choices?! I love all kitties. I prefer both Ennis and Jack but relate to Ennis more.

Brokebackjack the fact that you have not stated your preference for either Ennis or Jack has NOT escaped my attention! Divulge immediately if you want to keep pining about your cat-love on this poll!! We're waiting!!

Don't do cats, and my prefernce is Ennis in bed: Jack to go out and have a beer and hang with, but I wouldn't bring either home to mother.

I knew it all along, I just wanted to "hear" you say it!!
So, our early trend is continuing. Jack is to cats as Ennis is to dogs or no pets.

Jesus H.! I wasn't raised with pets for medical reasons and I don't have any now, but what poor excuse for a human being could do that to a living animal?

And could somebody explain, please, What's a "tuxedo cat"?

Jeff it was completely freaky. A normal Manhattan day, nice weather, walking down a street and---suddenly a couple of us just stopped. We began looking at each other and it was quite obvious we all had the same thought---can this be?? Is there a BABY buried in there??

The sounds of an infant crying were coming out of that dumpster.

We looked, and climbed up, cause yes that's exactly what we heard. this ' we' included a guy in a suit which cost a few thousand and a classic Park Avenue matron who had just been to the beauty parlor, nails done lol. We started digging. Bare hands. The matron took off a rock the size of gibraltar and said put this in your jeans and if even THINK of taking off I will remove your balls.Then she took off her heels. Make a long story short, the guy in the suit and I heard the sound, said oh no, and jumped back cause it was EXACTLY underfoot, dug like crazy--all of us--and there is this box with screams coming out. Box is opened, a huge cat jumps onto my chest.

Enter one Maine Coon named Spot.

The cat is a divine animal, once worshipped as a god. No dog, however friendly loyal and stupid, beats A CAT who has decided to adopt YOU.

I miss having a cat but katrina is allergic.
