Should Men Living Alone Get a Cat?

[netgypsy]

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

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?

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

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.

Flex,
To celebrate the successful new addition to your household, I drew you a picture:

You're welcome.

Looks part Siamese.

My cats just walk across the keyboard or sit on it. Usually that's coincident with mealtime.

Cat guys = very huggable, patient, dependable, . . . , house trained, . . . .

HAHAHAH house trained there's a positive point! She could actually be a number breeds especially as the little one is all white now, ragdoll, siamese, birman. But we will need more pictures :)

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.

I might be 26, but I'm allowed to like Spongebob; we'll leave it at that.

EDIT: If she can carry it in her teeth she will. Sometimes held high as a prize, sometimes she'll drop it short, bat it for a second and then walk away.

I don't count it as "fetch" unless she drops it and runs back to the stairs and waits for me to throw it again. If she drops it and wanders off, then it's probably just a coincidence that I was nearby.

How'd you know I wear a top hat around the house?

Minus the house trained thing... my housekeeper would strongly disagree with you on that point.

 

[FlexGunship]

See... us watching Spongebob the other day.

 

[rhody]

See... us watching Spongebob the other day.

Sorry Flex, that is just too funny, glad you and Pixel enjoy it though.

Rhody...

 

[Astronuc]

See... us watching Spongebob the other day.

Sweet!

Humans domesticated dogs. Cats domesticated humans. Does she purr when she watches spongebob? I confess I watch it also with a cat.

Does she purr when watching TV?? Please... she purrs when a breeze blows through the room.

Flex, I'm sorry but that is really weird! You really need to expose Pixel to more sophisticated programming. I suggest turning on PBS.

Ivan, she's a baby. She's not going to appreciate a documentary on the Wuba-wuba people of Southern Monolongabongaboo, she likes bright flashing colors and surprising noises...

... and I like it because of the complicated subtext and gripping side plots.

While we're talking about cats have you guys seen this? (Ignore commercial first)http://www.jokeroo.com/videos/animal/kangaroo-hopping-kitten.html

 

[tashalustig]

LOL that gave me quite a giggle mine like scifi i think its all the space ships personally

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Yeah, me too.

My Little Tyke likes to ride in the car now. When I get in the car to drive up to the house, she comes running and leaps into the front seat, then the back window. When I park at the house, she often gets out and runs back down to the office.

It seems that I'm just running a cat joyride service.

you definitely do sound like you are

I made some Pixel-based memes. The picture is just a random cat picture I found on a meme-generator site... no Pixel, unfortunately.

 

[lisab]

Those are great memes!

He only started being funny about two weeks ago. Before that no one realized what he'd been concealing up his sleeve.

For the record, I reached my pinnacle of hilarity about a year ago, after that there was a general decline to a plateau of 80% of peak, which was followed by this recent incline which has brought me back to ~95% of peak. The current trend is still upwards with a projected Lipper average beating the triple bottom breakout point. Traders are looking for bearish technicals in my hilarity index but its resisting a reversal in trend.

Okay?

 

[turbo]

Don't screw up, Flex. I'm heavily invested in your humor derivatives, and the guy I bought them from is now betting against them.

I'd be worried, too. It's too big to fail!

No, I realize you've been cracking jokes for quite a while. What I meant is you never said anything authentically funny till about two weeks ago.

 

[FlexGunship]

That's funny... that's exactly what my girlfriend said!

(Could've gone the low road with "your girlfriend" or "your mom" but I'm playing it classy.)

Flex, you are verging on pathetic here.

I 'spect a woman's going to snag you up any second now.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Truth be told, those are FUNNY!

Yeah... have you heard about his poor cat?

No one knows! But Pavlov's dog was never the same.

Awwwwwww... I'm pretty sure Pixel feels the same way.

EDIT: She shared one of her treats with me the other day. I took one and tore it into three pieces (they're too big for her). She brought one piece to me (in her mouth, of course), and dumped it on my lap. Then she laid down. I think it was for me, but I'm not sure... about 10 seconds later, she saw it again, and ate it.

lol funny :D
PF has turned into cat loving forum haha

Bless one of my kittens insisted on playing fetch for about an hour last night just as i was ready for sleep cheeky devil.

Have you seen the furry pipe cleaners they go mad for them and the cat it tracks that keeps them busy for hours

Our equine and cat lovers say that cats and horses have a lot in common even though horses don't purr.

Cats (and horses) have NO GUILT. If they get caught doing something naughty they give the look that says DARN, I be more careful next time so I don't get caught. Scolding them after the deed is pointless. (Dogs feel guilty even if they didn't do it)

They will follow some rules to a certain extent but you know you don't "own them". They live in another dimension and sometimes allow you in.

They don't work for free (yes there are some exceptions but it's not typical). If they do something you want them to do, you'd better pay them like giving them a carrot or a warm lap.

They can always tell the difference between good and bad people. You can't lie to them and they don't lie to you.

And neither of them make any noise without a good reason. I'm hungry, I'm happy, I want attention, my friend just jumped the fence, there's a coyote up the road so you go first cause my mama didn't raise no fool.

Both species also have a vivid imagination and "see things" that aren't there - at least not to us dumb humans.

Gotta love'em.

I get this a lot from Pixel.

I sometimes think they both would kill you if they had a chance. Horses actually do it sometimes...cats try (e.g., walking under your feet at the top of stairs).

About feeling guilty: If you catch your dog being naughty, the dog thinks, "I will never, ever do that again!" If you catch your cat being naughty, the cat thinks, "I will never, ever let you catch me doing that again!"

If I tell my cat NO, he tells me to f*** off...
