I can't understand why some people "dislike" cats. I have a few theories, none of which are very complimentary to the cat haters. I think though that because cats are highly individualistic that many people get confused because they think that cats should all behave in one way. It doesn't work that way. And before anyone gets dirty on me, I am dog owner too. I've also owned horses, fish, birds (I won't have a caged bird ever again though, I used to rescue them and keep them until they were okay to be set free but I have owned bred from captivity birds), mice, rats, guinea pigs...no reptiles except a Blue Tongue Lizard that used to live in my back yard. I also owned a teenage human once. Man was he difficult to train :laugh2:

I have eight and all have different personalities. Some are very independent and wants attention occasionally. Some live for attention. and some cannot get enough

They all welcome me when I get home from work at night, and all respond when called

They are all wonderful pets and somewhat well behaved

[diuretic]

I've only got the one at the moment. The max I had at one time was three and all very different. I do enjoy the differences though, I've never had a cat that could be considered a cipher or a clone, they've all had very distinct personalities. Some have been a bit aloof, some have been very cuddly and everything in between. But they were all inviduals.

I had one cat that was very sick and I had to take her to the vet due to her cancer. The night before I took her I slept all night with her. She reached out and put her paw on my arm and we stayed like that all night. I swear she knew what had to be done and was telling me it was okay with her. But then I have been accused of being anthropomorphic - not that I give a shit about that particular accusation.

I am so sorry. You are right - they know what is going on around them - and they have a sense of understanding

When I am not feeling well, they know it.

Nobody owns a cat. The cat owns you.
My husband and I are just happy that the cat allows us to stay around.

I have a beutiful little kitty. She's not feeling all that well right now tho, just got spayed and declawed two days ago.

This is my partner. He was rescued out of a cold, wet box that had collapsed on him and his sister, and she had succumbed to hypothermia. He was given to a "cat person" in town that I had told I wanted a cat, but an orange tiger male. Guess what... that little guy was an orange tiger male. He was wet, cold, shivering, covered with fleas, hungry and scared to hell when they brought him to me and asked if I wanted him. I IMMEDIATELY snatched him up and took him home. He didn't know how to eat or drink, so I warmed up some milk and kind of pushed his little face into it. He licked his face and figured it out. We got him warmed up, fed up, and then did battle in the tub with the fleas, and the rest is history. He was the happiest, most rambunctious little shit, but he's grown into a real lovable little partner. I can't hardly bear the thought of the day we part. I love him as much as I love any other member of my family. He's been with me for fifteen years now... hell he IS family.

He looks like a real character too. Good on you Pale, that's a very kind thing you did. It's a pity about his sister, that's sad. Fifteen years, he's thrived, obviously much loved and he knows it.

LN, re: the other thread, if you had your cat declawed, you cannot make her live outside.

[LiberalNation]

That's what I thought too but when I asked the vet she said she has a declawed cat that lives outside cuz it wouldn't stop peeing in her house. Been happy for 7 years. Said it was okay as long as she still had her back claws. Better then my mom sending her to the pound I guess but I hope we can work thru the litter issues. She uses her box 95%.

[dan]

I have spoiled cats at my place, too....

I would seriously question that vet. Maybe you could do some research. Anyway, declawed cats are very popular adoptees from shelters, so they are usually not euthanized. That's how we got our declawed girl.

[LiberalNation]

I know but if she pees on the floor with the person who adopts her too she may very likely return her. We adopted a cat like that from the pound, peed always on the floor, wouldn't use a litter box for anything.

Maybe she would like her new home. Who knows?

That is gross, I couldn't live with it.

[LiberalNation]

It is, we kept her awile to see if she just didn't like being moved to a new place but she never got any better and was staining the carpet and funiture like crazy.

Kitty's pretty happy, sleeps with me at night. Purring beside my head, runs to great me when I get home, plays, sleeps, eats, what more could a cat want.

[gabosaurus]

Cats are wonderful pets. Or maybe it is the other way around.
Our cat is really spoiled. If my husband is reading the paper or a book/magazine, and the cat wants attention, he will knock the item out of his hands.
The cat also has a shrill 'meow' that he uses to get attention. I tend to ignore him sometimes, but my husband always gives in. The cat has him very well trained.

I also owned a teenage human once. Man was he difficult to train :laugh2:

My theory has always been the lack of control we have on cats. Those same people usually have an ultra-controllable dog.

What type of birds did you rehab? I was with a wild bird rehab group for a couple of years. A lot of owls, hawks, a bluejay chick, a roseate spoonbill, herons..... I raised a barn owl from a chick to adulthood and released him. My cat was an incredible hunter who would scratch the door to go out every night at 12 a.m., she would scratch to come in at 6 a.m. and would always have something dead on the front porch. Moles, flying squirrels, wood hares...... she would kill them all and bring them home. I would put them in freezer bags and put them into the freezer for the owl. It's amazing the change in attitude you get when you are taking care of something that needs real food. I remember hitting a rabbit one night with my jeep. I stopped and threw the carcass in the back and brought it home for the owl. I was really careful to not imprint him by only handling him for exercise and feeding. When I released him he flew into the woods on the property I lived on and I never saw him again. Very rewarding.

[diuretic]

I used to wander around the neighbourhood I lived in after bad weather during nesting. Sure enough, there'd be the odd chick or two. Sparrows mainly, I like the little buggers, they have great big family groups and they're noisy and chatty and sociable with each other. I managed to get a few to the point where they could fend for themselves but some were just too far gone so I kept them comfortable until they passed naturally. Pigeons as well. Got a Sulphur-crested cockatoo once but he had a bad disease. I was out walking and found the poor little bugger, not a feather on him, running along the side of the road. I think someone couldn't be bothered taking him to the vet. I grabbed him and got him a little jumper thing to keep him warm. I had him for a few weeks but he wasn't getting better so I took him to a specialist vet. She did what she could be in the end he had to be put down for his own benefit. And a crow. Got him from a chick and raised him to adulthood. He used to follow me to school, had to get off the bus and walk him (yes, he would walk along with me) back home one morning. When he left (he was never caged) he was away for a week and then came back with another crow, his new mate. They sat up in the wires and I called out to him. He responded and then they left. I never saw him again but it was nice of him to pay us one last visit with his new mate.

Sitarro & Diuretic- my new heroes. :clap:

[gabosaurus]

Very true. Control freaks and dictatorial folks don't have what it takes to live with cats. You have to accept the fact that the cat trains you, instead of the other way around. :lmao:

[retiredman]

we have four cats... and my soft hearted wife refuses to let me get them declawed. I love them dearly, so I have to just not let myself get too attached to any furniture upholstered with cloth.

Yikes! Why wont she let you get them declawed?

[retiredman]

she claims it is inhumane.... like ripping out a human's fingernail beds. She is immovable on the subject.

[jimnyc]

she claims it is inhumane.... like ripping out a human's fingernail beds. She is immovable on the subject.

I'll have to side with her on this issue. I've owned at least 30 cats over the years. After having a few de-clawed I will never do so again. Watching the poor little buggers struggling to get around in pain for a few days, watching them attempt to use the claws that are no longer there... And I don't care what any professional says, you simply cannot allow a cat back into the wild again once you take it's only line of defense away.

Whether a dog or a cat, you know what you're getting into when you get one, or at least you should before taking on such a responsibility. Teach them, train them, or even bring them to obedience training if you can't get the job done yourself. But don't simply complain or toss an animal out when it only does what is instinctive to itself.

[Abbey Marie]

We adopted our cat already declawed. She is now about 9 years old, and she still has trouble jumping up onto things because her front paws are weirdly undersized due to the declawing. About half the time, she falls trying.

I also have a dear friend whose cat got a life-threatening infection from her declawing surgery.

[glockmail]

I certaintly wouldn't take theirs claws out but at the same time I wouldn't have any more than one in my house. Those little bastards see us as fresh meat and are merely hanging hoping we stroke out and can't defend ourselves against their inevitable attack and feast. :poke:

I am a convert. I never had cats before we were married and she brought two of them along when we started.... we used to have five, now four... and I have no interest in causing them any pain.... furniture is just furniture. With four cats and two dogs, I basically live in a barn anyhow.... our home will never be on the "homes beautiful tour" so I really don't let the scratched up upholstery bother me anymore at all. We're comfortable.

[LiberalNation]

My cat didn't have much problem with the surgery and if she was in a lot of pain she did a good job hiding it. Was jumping up an off high counters, couches, ect. as soon as we brought her back home the day after the surgery. Seems to walk fine, climbs everything she used to except now she uses her back claws to snag hold of funiture and not the front ones. She isn't scratching carpet out anymore either.

I personally wouldn't have gotten her declawed but my parents said I had to or she goes. Never had much of an attachment to carpet and she's such a cute lil fur ball.

[retiredman]

Well if you live in a flea-infested shithole then why bother?

I don't. we treat all our animals for fleas regularly and have none around. the home is not a palace, certainly, but it is far from a shithole. I am quite happy with my 1812 federal with its five fireplaces, original wide pine floors, spiral staircase and ten foot ceilings.... and so are my dogs...and my cats are also happy being there and especially glad that I have cloth upholstered furniture! periodic reupholstering is just part of pet ownership.

So you live in a cold drafty shithole as well. Reminds me of "The Money Pit". You must be proud of yourself living in high cotton and all.

If my animals start trashing the house I deal with the cause instead of buying expensive bandaids. But that's just me. :pee:

not cold and drafty at all. totally new insulation and new energy efficient windows a few years back....

and I think I explained why I chose to deal with my cats in the way I did. The fact that you would chose a different approach from me is certainly not unexpected.

You're the one who brought my family into this, a clear violation of manly honor. Suddenly you’re complaining about me calling your obvious lack of responsibility into question. A liberal crossing the line of decency then playing the victim.

[retiredman]

and it's an interesting thing about foul odors...they do seem to spread. I can remember when I was young, my dad used to smoke unfiltered camels, and all of my clothing eventually had this odor of tabacco. It was not like I was a smoker at the time, it was just that I smelled like smoke. sort of the same thing as my household would experience if you came to visit with your....pets.

oh.... I was making an analogy. I was not my father's pet, but that still didn't mean that my smelling like smoke was any sort of disparagement of me, personally..... kinda the same thing with your clan or your pets.

no lie from me at all.

you did, however, lie about my neg repping you. and rather than address it, you run away like a girlieman. I have to say, I was hoping for more cordial behavior from you upon my return.... but I guess that won't happen..... and since you are banned for life from USMB, I guess it won't be happening there either.

I never knew a dog or cat that swore an oath to a certain political persuasion.

Cats are very independent. They do what they want to do. Anyone who wants an obedient pet should obtain a dog.
I heard a lot about kids who tear up the house. Never once heard about one being declawed or forced to stay off the furniture.
Our house looks like someone lives there. People who visit know right away that we have a cat. No one objects to the obvious signs of cat ownership. Just as I would never complain about their house showing signs of child occupation.

Cat owners do tend to be free thinkers. We are not uptight about total cleanliness, nor are we control freaks who need everyone to be totally submissive to our whims.
Our cat loves us unconditionally. Provided we feed him, clean his cat box daily, shower him with love and attention, and basically do his bidding.

1. I positive repped you. I had no idea how that would show up on your page, but I was fairly certain it would not show up as a negative rep. beyond that, who gives a shit?

2. yawn.

3. learn to read: then you are a snob.... and certainly not a very discerning musician.

important word there: NOT.

1. I don't, as you so eloquently put, “give a shit”. You were the one who brought it up in the first place and have been harping on it ever since. Then when called on it you act like its no big deal. How typical for a Liberal Democrat, again not manning up.
2. Case in point.
3. A “snob”, by definition, is discerning. So am I discerning or not discerning?

1. I positively repped you, and you said otherwise. I cannot prove it, but I know your statement was false, if not intentionally false. so be it.

2. tempests in teapots do not amuse me.

3. snob noun 1. a person who imitates, cultivates, or slavishly admires social superiors and is condescending or overbearing to others.
2. a person who believes himself or herself an expert or connoisseur in a given field and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes regarding this field: a musical snob.
versus
dis·cern·ing [di-sur-ning, -zur-] –adjective showing good or outstanding judgment and understanding: a discerning critic of French poetry.

I say again: If you are going to make a big deal about the difference between true bluegrass and really good bluegrass, then you are a snob.... and certainly not a very discerning musician.

1. You called me a liar. Are you now backing away from that accusation?
2. But yet you appear to be amused by yourself.
3. Again you pick and choose your definitions in an attempt validate yourself. Here is the definition that I am using to point out your misunderstanding of the English language.


...one who tends to rebuff, avoid, or ignore those regarded as inferior b : one who has an offensive air of superiority in matters of knowledge or taste m-w.com

Silly boys, this is a thread about cats. That does not mean you can fight like two cats in heat.

That comment was nasty, is that all you can do, resort to cheap shots?

Pot? Kettle? Black?

Hypocrite.

Nor was it correct. :coffee:

What the hell? I don't visit the kitty thread for a couple of days and what happens? It gets nasty. Well, that's the last time I leave you kids alone. There it was, going along nicely with some non-partisan, non-personal posts about cats. I'm thinking, this is good, this is very constructive. I'm an animal lover (not in the Dem way that lieberalism insists :lol:) and I love cats. I come back thinking it's still a kitty thread and people are eviscerating each other.

I dunno, I should let my domestic shorthair on all of ya :laugh2:

They were all strays and they are very spoiled

More proof that Bush apologists don't have a sense of humor.

My cat would slap all of you around. He doesn't stand for nonsense. Especially when he is hungry, or needs attention. Prince has been known to bat the newspaper out of my husband's hands and sit on his laptop. :lmao:

[diuretic]

Hey I read somewhere where Hillary Clinton is alleged to have dumped Socks! WTF? Any clue on that?
