Are men with cats odd?

tashalustig

i have quite a fees cats and i have always trimmed their claws, although i recommend only trimming the tips off it is extremely easy to hurt them my cutting too low.
My cats have never got more aggressive from it though they are used to it now and a treat afterwards always helps

It hasn't changed our cats behavior either. All our cats are indoor. There are places where you can have an outdoor cat that aren't as risky but the lifespan of an outdoor cat is usually quite short and you have to be sure to get the shots for leukemia, treat for fleas and so on. And you can give your indoor cat fleas. A family member went to visit a friend who had a German shepherd and the dog had fleas that got into the friend's car. They were carried back to his house and he had a terrible time getting rid of them because it was before Advantage had come out.

And speaking of cats not giving a guy the right image, a REAL man can wear pink and own all the cats in the world and the women will still find him very attractive.

The female is hard wired to find a protector for her and her future children. This doesn't mean to do things for her. It just means you have her back if she ever needs it. So if you project a quiet confidence along with a great sense of humor you're well on the road to being irresistible. I once knew this really skinny kid, 110 pounds fully dressed, maybe 5' 5" tall the girls were absolutely crazy about. He was never without a girlfriend. He was considerate and spoke their language and made them laugh. And I might add, all the physics majors I used to hang out with were also never without girlfriends and one of them made the skinny kid look like a body builder.

lol yeah there is nothing wrong with men having cats and not sure how that stereotype began tbh what is it about a cat that promotes femininity?!?!?!

there are some extremely camp men with big dogs doesn't help their image they are still camp

There is a difference between "getting more aggressive" and "using their claws more aggressively". When a cat wants to run quickly, it has a sense of how far it should extend its claws to get traction. A cat with trimmed claws will extend them more since it has learned that it gets only a little traction from dull claws. If you stop trimming its claws, it will misjudge how far to extend them. It must re-learn what to do with its claws in various situations.

What are "camp men?"

If the hooks are just removed the claws still grip. They just don't shred furniture. I haven't noticed cats using their claws when they run. Interesting. I'll have to watch some videos of them. A family member adopted a declawed cat and he would ball up his paw and sock a dog or cat that came too close.

Well from having a very camp brother i would say he is just like the stereotype so think Will and Grace the annoying gay friend of Will's. I don't really know how to word it for you, camp men even seem to have a different tone in their voice much like a young girls the walk is very feminine as in a catwalk walk

poor thing, declawing is not really done in the UK! Mine don't scratch a lot tbh so have never noticed them having to get their claws out more die to clipping also i have been clipping their claws since they were kittens just so they don't get caught in things or accidentally hurt one another when playing

Pixel enjoyed her long weekend with me. I gave her a bit of turkey to enjoy for Thanksgiving. I helped her discover the bedroom window and now she sneaks behind the curtains and sits on the deep sill occasionally during the night before relaxing back on the bed and falling asleep again.

I have lots of pictures and videos and just haven't gotten around to uploading them. We watched Spongebob yesterday; she likes Mr. Crabs for some reason.

I was watching some Netflix on my laptop in bed and she helped me pick out a show... and then another one, and the closed the browser window, opened a few others, put my recycle bin inside of itself and then deleted it, shut off my wireless transceiver, pressed the "B" key for a while, and finally got bored.

Either way, my number one goal has been achieved... keep her alive!

tashalustig

Bless they do have a thing about typing for some reason i have turned my back for just a few mins before to find that the kitten has deleted things off the computer and somehow managed to empty the bin. Am looking forward to the pics. Is the little madam sleeping in with you

Flex,

Since you are quite a devil and it is hard to know when you switch into being silly, sarcastic, etc... seriously, you watched Spongebob with her ?!

Rhody...

P.S. I still can't get over how she will bring things to you as well, some strange genetics going on there.

The most comfortable places for a cat are the most inconvenient for humans.

netgypsy

Declawing is nasty and unnecessary. They even have these little hollow soft claws you can glue on a cat but really how long do you think the cat would take to remove them. Five minutes maybe?

tashalustig

OMG OMG gorgeous do you know the breed that look like a ragdoll pose

Here in the US, more and more veterinarians are refusing to do the procedure, based on ethical grounds. Long overdue, IMO.

tashalustig

Yes i would never do it it is like someone ripper nails off their child its just horrible there aren't many that would do it over here definitely no vets.
