The post that was quoted here has been removedDog people are in denial:
"Don't worry he won't bite"
- dogs bite people all the time it is normal for a dog to bite other creatures if it feels threatened for some doggy-brained reason
"He likes you"
- no he doesn't. He doesn't even know who I am. He's checking me out to see if I need biting.
"He wants to play with you"
- no he doesn't. He is establishing his authority over me as the newest potential pack member by jumping up, putting his sharp claws agains my chest and vital organs while simultaneously urinating down my leg in a barely concealed snarl of joy.

What a cat needs is a 'provider' with opposable thumbs -- to work the can opener for cat-food tins. Apes would have done as well, but apes didn't invent cat-food tins.
