I actually rewatched this episode the other day and had no idea that Jason Bateman was the vet

And well, to be fair about Duke, the series has always made it known that Hank hates cats and thinks less of people if they prefer cats over dogs, so I can understand the writers giving Bill this glorious Golden Retriever owned by the blue angel pilot that pissed off France by flying under the Eifel Tower and giving Hank some shitty cat as a joke to get the plot rolling.

It just works and isn't strawmanny at all.

>IT JUST WERKS!!!1

No, no it doesn't. Yes, an enjoyable part of the episode is that a cat kicks Hanks ass, but the strawman comes in making the cat irredeemable as a pet. No cuddle ups, no sleeping at the edge of his feet on the bed - it never does anything cute and is instead "THE CAT FROM HELL" as it vomits and shits on everything.

Also the ending with Bill on the battleship is straight out of Recess for god sakes - it doesn't fit the tone of the series. (Which I know later season episodes like this were indeed slipping)

Dog people are the worst people.

Some people simply hates cats without any particular reason, like Tim Burton.

German Sheperds, Golden Retrievers, Black Labs, Huskies, and Sheep dogs are patrician tier.
All other dogs sucks.

Tabbys, Black Tuxedo cats, and Orange with white stripes are Patrician.
Long haired cats (especially ones with flat pig faces), Siamese cats, and cats that are grey in OP's picture are garbage.

There is no concretely better species, they both have shitty and good breeds.

>>94150738
Suck my dick. Beagles are the best dog. Small, friendly, and energetic, make good tracking and hunting dog and are good watchdogs

>>94150738
What about Maus and ragamuffins and abyssinians? And by sheep dog, do you mean the breed, or the classification? Because I love australian shepherds and collies and american eskimos.

God damn, animals are great.

OP is a turbo-autist and cats are the worst animals.

>>94150862
Beagles are the stupidest dogs imaginable. Sheepdogs are superior in every conceivable way.

>>94150983
This.

My tuxedo cat is awesome. I trained him to come over to me when I call him and jump off cupboards he's not allowed on.

>>94149127
Just misspelling his point does nothing to discredit it.

>strawmans

Honestly KoTH has pretty few strawmen. Especially in later seasons. The main one I can think of is the CPS guy from season 1.

I always felt really bad for Duke. I need to rewatch the episode, but I think I remember thinking that Duke seemed really stressed out by everything that was happening to him, and I got the feeling that Hank unintentionally did everything wrong to calm him down because Hank just doesn't get or like cats. And that fucking vet was a scumbag who didn't seem to genuinely care about Duke's wellbeing and just kept making shit worse.

>>94149169
Dogs are smelly but they are energetic and kind-hearted.

>>94148879
It's a fucking parody show you moron.

>>94150860
It depends on personal taste. Dogs are more work, but are more overtly affectionate. Cats are aloof and pretty much take care of themselves.

>>94150738
There's nothing wrong with grey cats. Coat patterns are not indicative of temperament in cats at all. There's nothing fundamentally different between a grey cat and a tuxedo.

You've got a point about the rest of those cats though. Long haired cats need more coat maintenance, squash faced cats can have breathing problems, and siamese are a breed with a lot of quirks that are just, not for everyone.

>>94150924
Most cat breeds are a scam.

Which animals would you fuck?

>>94149127
are you really upset that a cartoon made cats seem like a bad pet? who cares?

>>94152023
your mom

>>94151818
This, the instant Hank's vet showed Duke the slightest bit of kindness he turned into a sweetheart. If you hate a cat, it will hate you back. Period. They know

>>94152083
That would be incest, brother.

>>94152085
Duke was an unusually good cat for appropriately being a dick to people who didn't like him and being nice to people who did. A lot of the time cats will harass people who want nothing to do with cats with affection and will ignore people who want their attention.

Nigga I have pet snakes and they're villainized in practically everything, but you don't see me bitching about it. Cats are either the most popular or second most popular pet in the world, regardless of one fucking episode of King of the Hill. Kill yourself.

>>94155763
Post pics of snakes.

>>94155763
Sneks have gotten the shortest stick possbile, they are just cute little things that don't attack unless provoked like 99% of wildlife.
