Hilarious cats. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rWRrSJCvp5Q)

I don't personally own a cat, but there are a large number of unowned transient cats in our neighborhood that sorta roam around ours and the neighbor's yards. My wife decided to be nice to two of these cats, and would occasionally offer them scraps of food. The cats kept their distance for a long time, but eventually befriended us.

Now they wait for us on our front porch in the afternoons when we come home from work. My wife also started buying them cat food on a regular basis, and feeds them every day.

One of the coolest things about this is they used to be very scrawny and unhealthy looking, but ever since we started feeding them, they became a thicker and more muscular.

Oh well--- here is a pic I took about 10 minutes ago.

zak, I'm not denying dogs have uses. But my point is that I'm questioning the line of thinking behind the concept of humans keeping dogs as pets. The whole notion of man deciding that he's going to take an animal and keep it couped up and for what? so that we can transfer our petty emotions onto this creature to satisfy our own banal sense of sentimentality? We give them names, talk to them delluding ourselves that they understand
It's just the whole concept of the domestication of animals seems very suspect to me.

what is the actual point?

it's not really the done thing within islam to keep dogs.

Dogs are, and always will be, far more useful than cats. Cats are pets, for those who want... pets.

Outlandish is demonstrating the attitude of modern man.. "look what I have - ain't it pretty?".

The partnership of dog and man is one of those things which took man from what he was to... well... ok, what he is now. I may be heading into uncomfortable water there. Let's say it's one of the things which gave us an edge, evolutionarily speaking.

well yes, the relationship between man/dog within a historical context has been based on function, dogs were used for hunting, protection etc. Such uses are no longer called for within modern society, hence my questioning the concept of keeping pets, dogs etc, and the reasoning behind this concept. Dogs now have no practical function in our lives (appart from guide dogs, and in the police etc) so it's all down to banal sentimentality.

Outlandish would turn his back on his friends as quickly, I'd imagine. For a bauble.
not so. You mistake my views on pets as being the same for human relationships, on the contrary, I believe we neglect our connection with humans in favour of animals I feel at times.
Now I'm not saying we shouldn't be kind to animals, we should respect all life, but the keeping of pets, or the perpetuation of the false notion that we have to keep pets as some sort of means of illustrating how much we care for animals is inherently deceptive and delusional.
"mummy can I have a dog?"

Dogs still provide protection and serve as an early alert system. When some stranger approaches our house, my cats run and hide, while my dog charges the door barking like a hound from hell. Don't tell me that wouldn't deter some intruders. My dog is pretty damn big and sounds mean as hell, but is really a "pussy cat".

Dogs are loyal to a fault, good companions for children and the elderly, provide protection, and help teach kids about responsibility. This is in addition to their obvious utility for the blind and police.

no doubt, but hardly comparable to their role in history where they served to protect large grounds.

good companions for children and the elderly, provide protection
for children they (dogs, or any pet for that matter) cannot compare with other children/siblings with regards to the level, quality, and type of companionship offered.
with regards to the elderly, now this is a situation where I do feel that a pet, esp a dog can provide a valuable service.

and help teach kids about responsibility
1)to an extent, but look at the numbers of abandoned pets, because the owners realised the reality of pet ownership didn't match their romaticised view.
2) also look at the numbers of children mauled/killed by certain breeds of dogs kept as dogs, which leads onto the seperate debate as to the validity of keeping certain breeds of dogs as pets.


This is in addition to their obvious utility for the blind and police.
as I mentioned before I was speaking about pets within a social/domestic context.

I often wondered why people would rather have relationships with cats and dogs instead of other people?

Surely, the cats and dogs would prefer other cats and dogs?

No, dogs eat shit. Everyone knows that. I have seen dogs eat dog shit that was lying in the street.

Some people eat shit and some other people like to watch them eat shit and get aroused by it, but that is totally another kettle of shit.

Dogs are good lovable company. Yes they do appeal to the sentimental and emotional aspects of our psyche, but what's wrong with that, if it makes us feel good and if it puts a smile on our face? Keeping a dog gives you reason to get up in the morning because it is totally reliant on you, and the show of affection it demonstrates when it sees you is worth all the hassle and expense that comes with keeping one. Dogs are also good for our health, because they give us a reason to go for a walk or run that we possibly might not be inclined to do otherwise.

We have 2 Yorkshire Terriers and a tortoiseshell tabby cat. They all sleep in the same place and the cat always comes on the doggy walk, but without a lead. When my wife brushes the dogs, the cat comes and wants to be brushed as well; when she cleans the dogs' eyes in the morning, the cat want hers cleaned as well. They're great fun to have and they make us laugh. My wife loves and adores the animals much more than me, but since we began keeping dogs 10 years ago, I have grown to be very fond of them and are much more sympathetic to them than I ever could have been.

A dog would never let you down, whereas people always do, but that is not to say that having a relationship with an animal means that human relationships are excluded, that is actually a rather ignorant assumption.

Rubbish. What expectations would you prescribe to a dog and how is that measured?

but that is not to say that having a relationship with an animal means that human relationships are excluded, that is actually a rather ignorant assumption.

Then, why make it?

You said it Q, not I.

A dog is not capable of letting you down. It can't lie to you, it can't steal from you, it can't badmouth you behind your back, it can't be envious of any good shit you've got going on in your life. But it can show you bags of affection, even if you shout at it, even if you smack it and even if you don't feed it on time. Your dog would never attack you even if provoked, unless you cause it real pain. A dog will get depressed when its owner isn't around, it may sit by the door all day waiting for his return, it will show joy and excitement as it brings you a toy and expects you to play with it (the dog) or to chase it and get the toy off it.

All this is observable, it's not rocket science and you can't measure it, it just makes you feel great, but the same can't be said of people most of the time.

My gf rescued a kitten, cleaned it up got all the bugs out of it's ears etc. The cat hated me and from time to time would attack me.

My gf moved out and took everything that wasn't nailed down but left one thing...guess what she left???LOL. BITCH

What's the point in having a dog if you're not going to let it kiss you with it's dirty mouth?

Actually, dogs' mouths are cleaner than humans'. Or so I've heard.

Not my cat.

Poor ToR wanted to start a nice thread about cat stories and everybody's trying to make it about dogs. I thought that was my job? :)

When we had three Persian cats my wife brought home a baby grosbeak that had fallen out of her nest. We had a neighbor who knew all about birds and taught us to hand-feed her. Of course that made her imprint on humans so we could never turn her loose. But the injuries from the fall made her a little lame and lopsided so it worked out okay. She just stayed in the house and fluttered around happily with the speed and grace of a diesel helicopter.

The cats loved her. They let her take baths in their water dish. We have a photo of one of them sitting next to her on the back of the sofa watching the sunset together. (Sorry, not digitized.) We once forgot to put her in her cage when we went out shopping and we came back after dark. With zero night vision she was sitting helplessly on the floor... and the cats took up stations around her facing outward to protect her from boogiemen.

As for dogs eating poop, it's because they're designed with a very short gut that requires maintenance of the bacterial culture we all need for digestion. In the wild they eat the entrails of their prey, including the contents, and will scavenge the leavings of other predators. Stupid humans feed them foods full of preservatives that kills off what little bacteria they have, so they have to forage for it. If your dog eats poop read the ingredients on what you're feeding him, most commercial dog food is crafted to appeal to humans, not dogs. Give him some yogurt to build his culture back up. DNA analysis shows that dogs and wolves are a single species.

Dogs and cats both have the distinction of having joined us voluntarily. (So do pigs and goats, but it didn't work out quite so well for them.) Dogs and Mesolithic humans presumably appreciated each other's complementary hunting skills and could bring down more game working together. Cats waited a few thousand years more until Neolithic humans had stores of grain in their villages which attracted tasty rodents. I've always reasoned that we have to count mice as earlier domesticated animals than cats. :)

We have a cat that drools copiously. It's nasty.:(

And he's huge and tries to be a lap cat, after 10 minutes of purring on your lap, he jumps off and you are left with huge amounts of drool on your arm or leg where he's rested its head. As I said, nasty. My husband tries to convince me 'he drools because he's happy' but it's still disgusting and frankly I'm waiting for the day the damn cat becomes unhappy.

My dog on the other hand doesn't drool as much as the damn cat does. This is what happens when a person who prefers dogs marries a person who prefers cats. Our son loves both but.. ugh.. the drooling from the cat gets to me. It's worse when the cat decides to cuddle up to our 1 year old. We never know who's drool is who's.. the baby's or the damn cat's.:(

As for a couple of the things you name, it's possible that less germs, or different kinds which couldn't really do anything to us because we're not dogs, live on a dog's ass and balls and in their shit. Dogs aren't humans. And maybe they compared it to a human's mouth which hadn't used Listerine, I don't know.

Bestest Damned Cat Story Ever
form your friendly neighborhood "you know who"... (hee !)

I once lived on a street which formed a sort of "trident-shaped" cul-de-sac with 2 others. The 3 had been cut off by the building of a thruway extension which ran through the neighborhood, and rather than leave 3 dead end "stumps", some urban planning whiz kid had decided to connect them with a short road at their "back ends".

One Monday morning I'm driving the trusty bulk of my Ford Econoline van round the bend of this little back road to be on my way to the wage-slave pit I then toiled in, when the sight of some doubtless run down tabby's mortal remains lying in the road greets my bleary gaze...

Pity
I mused,
I hate the damned things, but that hadda be a shitty way ta go.

Lo and behold, at the end of my return trundle from the pits, the slightly more damaged kitty-coil (as in mortal) still lies - now kinda more flattened - there in the road...

Odd
I mused,
Perhaps it weren't from "around here", and the owner - if there so much as was one - was unaware of it's fate.

Next day, I'm off to the pits again, and there's the new "neighborhood fixture" again - kinda shoved over toward the curb a bit, the remainder of limbs pointin' in all kinda new & innovative directions the Grand Designer never intended...

Gee
I mused,
There's somethin' ya don't see every day.

Well, this bizarre circumstance contiuned for the balance of the week, until on Friday morn I rounded that bend in my rusting hulk to face the baleful gaze of the sole remaining appreciably 3-dimensional portion of the dear departed feline's anatomy in the form of it's po' leetle haid - outta which one eye had popped and was clearly glaring at me in an insulting manner !

Son of a -
I mused,
Nobody looks at me that way !

Thus, with the appropriate song lyric rolling off my tongue :
He knows the awful deed-
He knows it must be done !

I rendered the son of a bitch into " fully flattened proportions "with a mighty stomp on the accelerator, giving a minute nod like in them badly translated Jap monster movies when one of the characters is saying "hai" in Japanese, but which the dialogue people for some unknown reason render as "uh !" or some such grunting noise, at the weensy vibration of it's cranial bonesy wonesies being pulverized by almost 3 ton' O' rattlin', rumblin' Dee-Troit Steel as the mass lurched forward in a vague semblance of a must-crazed bull elephant intent on battering some rival into submission...

IIRC, the remains remained "abandoned in place" until there was nothing but a matted, leathery old fur pancake to indicate that some live thing had ever trod the face of the Earth...

Bugger it-
I mused,
I'm friggin' allergic to the sumbitches anyway...

Now I'm purty sure there's a lesson in all that somewhere...

Damned if I know what it is, tho'...

;)

I wasn't really thinking about the possiblity that someone could do a worse job of hijacking this thread than the dog people. But obviously it could be done.

I put up with that kind of crap in South Park because it has redeeming social content and the bad guys who do that sort of thing often suffer so there's a vague sense of justice and because I'm not expecting it to be a thread with sweet stories about people's beloved pets so I don't get blind-sided. And even then some weeks I just have to give up and turn it off.

I was really sad to find it here.

I agree. I'm not a cat person but if someone hurt either of the boys (our two cats.. brothers rescued from the pound as kittens by my husband who was meant to come home with just one cat.. but that's another story of how someone who loves cats too much and couldn't bear to take just one when there was two.. especially when they were curled up together when he peered into their enclosure.. hence why if we ever need another pet, I will go and get it as he's too much of a softy.. and I don't want to end up with a zoo in my back yard.. but I digress.) I'd most likely hurt them back. Although I do adore them, it's just the drooling that one of them does that gets to me. Especially when he tries to be a lap cat and you find yourself engulfed by fur as he's a tad big and very fluffy for a medium haired cat. Plus we've found they're good with our one year old and will gently nudge him over to stop him if he's about to get himself into something he's not meant to. Meh I'm a dog person but I still love the boys as well as our big lug of a golden doodle..

Has anyone not seen the video that Roman posted? Truly hilarious, as promised:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rWRrSJCvp5Q

And yes Killjoy's 'contribution' was a bit rubbish, and not the 'best cat story ever', like he promised. So yes, disappointed with that one.

And finally a word on filth. It's been suggested by some of those in the know that, as civilisation advances and we become increasingly cosseted, and ever more paranoid about avoiding germs, we find ourselves, ironically, succumbing more and more easily to colds and flu and disease, because we're not being exposed to them at an early age when our immune systems are developing. It's therefore in your interest to get a dog and let it eat poo and lick it's bum, then lick your face, and the faces of your children. Our very survival depends on it.

I know.:( I squeezed in here and I'm frantically trying to find the exit!!:eek:
the exit's round the back...would've thought you knew that;)

Another one of my babies back home, she was abandoned as a baby.

Very fussy eater, but very loving by nature.

Dear Friend ,

Our name is Maria and Garcia Lucio, we stay in Madrid -Spain, with our son Alonso , we have been into textile and art design for 20 years , Garcia is 38 ,while I am 36 years of age .

I have recently been doing creating my artwork on the computer and hand made and I have been selling here in Madrid , I also proceed to our small city , that is the centre for tourism in Spain , Malaga to sell most of my art my materials to tourist to visit Spain and most of the tourist are American’s who seriously fall in love with my art work , both young , middle age and old . Most importantly , I am always facing serious problems when it comes to selling artwork to American’s here in Madrid –Spain , American’s are always offering to pay me inform of Cashiers Check and Money orders which is very difficult for me to cash here in Spain , no bank or store will accept America Money orders , and due to the fact that they are my highest selling customers what do I do , I have to agree with them .

So therefore , I after so may thoughts with my husband , we decided to make contact with any of the American in any state in America based on trust and we have contacted you to work for us as a part time job or work from Home ,which if you do agree to be our representative in the United States based on trust , we would direct our customers to be issuing the Money orders or Cashiers Check to you and you shall cash the money and deduct 10% from any amount that is issued to you and you will then send the balance payment to us , we hope that you will be a reliable and trusted person and also a responsible fellow .

Well , I have bestowed my trust on you , but if you do try to get away with my money , I shall use the influence our local police here to contact the FBI office in Washington to get a rid of anyone that wants to run away with our money .

Note that all charges of sending the money via western union or money Gram will be deducted from any payment you receive and you will also deduct your own 10% payment from it.

Finally , send to me your direct contact telephone number(Cell phone and home phone) home address , your age and marital status and profession , so that I will send the money orders or check via FedEx or UPS to your home address .

We shall await your good reply ,

May God bless you.

Maria and Garcia Lucio

lol...why yes! let me bend over and offer my tight rosebud for you too!

I put up with that kind of crap in South Park because it has redeeming social content and the bad guys who do that sort of thing often suffer so there's a vague sense of justice

That actually happened to me - sorta - as my radiator cracked open a week or so later and I damn near wrecked "Bucephalus" when the coolant spewed all over the power steering belt/pump just as I was rounding a corner and it was suddenly like I was trying to drive one 'O them Olde-tyme kludges from 19-ought-5 or some such... ...when I think of the #$%&* that would have resulted with Uncle Sam if I'd actually smashed that mailbox...

Damned karma !

1) ever heard of terms of endearment?

To cats?

http://www.adeygrummet.co.uk/slideshow/images/cats.jpg

To cats?
why not.
a term of endearment is purely subjective, hence it's validity doesn't depend on the object of the term, ie that to which the term refers to.
you can have a term of endearment for a teapot, a car, your penis, anything.

That's strange, it looks like a cat, not a baby. Have you regressed so far as to consider cats your children? :eek:

Don't be so literal (Q), read some poetry, watch some theatre, listen to some opera.

You sound like a crusty old curmudgeon.

To cats?

Is there a rule against being sappy?

Don't be so literal (Q), read some poetry, watch some theatre, listen to some opera.

Funny, it's evident from your posts that I'm not the one who needs to get out more.

sam:

no, that's too drastic.
better to crawl before you fly, just get laid 1st.

Being literal has nothing to do with getting out more. What are you talking about?:confused:

Do we use completely different forms of language?

1) if anything, it's blatantly obvious from her posts that she does get out, and lives.
2) again, in your desperation to argue for argument's sake you have completelety forgotten to make a point, or what (if any) was that point in the 1st place.
3) you're such a baby
4) I meant that int he literal sense, incase you have a hard time dealing with semantics, as well as logics.

Why?
why what?
why is the T.O.E subjective?
why can one ascribe a TOE for anything?

clarify what it is you want me to explain.

somewhere, a village is missing an idiot.

Is sciforums the village?

Not any more thanks to you.
wtf is your av?

wtf is your av?

Its a cross section of the male anatomy.

Anyone who gets too drunk for their own good has done shit that they regret right after, but then after they become sober they barely remember it, so they no longer regret it. I learned that the hard way yesterday for the first time, so I was just curious. But it was funny. Good times, good times.

Its a cross section of the male anatomy.
thought so.

Is sciforums the village?
nope.
like to take a guess who the idiot is?

Don't fuck with James. He's not an idiot.

Don't fuck with James. He's not an idiot.
i'm not fucking with james.
and true he isn't an idiot.

Good then, because James doesn't like that shit.

Actually, that's an illustration from a site advertising the "Left Behind" series of novels, which chronicles the fictional adventures of people who remain on Earth after the Rapture - in which it is believed that all born-again Christians will be taken from Earth into Heaven by Jesus Christ.

Apparently, all sorts of chaos is supposed to occur on Earth after the Rapture, as the "chosen" folks just sorta disappear from wherever they were when the event occurs. I guess the pic is supposed to depict at least a bit of this mess.

I just added the "dialogue".

More about my puddytats (having received fresh pics from my bro)

From left to right.

1. Beauty:
You've met her before in this thread. She's sweet, likes being cuddled except when she does not, is finicky with food but even tempered in general

2. Bagga (short for Bagheera or the Panther, since hes so svelte and slinky)
He's the chatty sort. He comes in out of the outdoors at about 4 am (through the window) and for two hours sits next to you and regales you with long drawn out tales of his so called exploits. Moreover, even when he finally falls asleep from his endeavors, he continues chatting in his sleep, so unless you are a heavy sleeper (as I am) you want to kick him out of bed and he of course shows his disapproval of your non-copoperative nature by giving you a friendly swipe or if he was chatting about something particularly sensitive to him, a not-so-friendly sinking of his teeeth in the nearest available fleshy part of you. (as you can tell, I really love him :o )

3. Ajju
Ajju is a mysterious character who suddenly appeared one day (actually my sis brought him in) and proceeded to charm us by bouncing off the walls. He has multiple personalities and obsesses over how everyone treats him (including the other cats) so lots of times he refuses to go along with them and picks unnecessary fights. He's also really bad tempered and attacks anyone at will. However, if you chastise him he hangs his head most desolately and mopes in a corner. He's been with us 5 years and we still haven't figured him out. But he still bounces off the walls when he's in a good mood so we keep him around. Sometimes, he decides he likes us and then you cannot budge him from next to you (much to the aggravation of Bagga who considers all space around us as his personal podium)

Nice puddy cats. Do your cats have subtle techiniques they use to try to kill you? Mine likes to lie concealed on the stairs, hoping I'll trip over him or he's less subtle and just keeps walking infront of my feet as I descend, trying very blatantly to make me fall. Loves sitting behind the car as I reverse, hoping I'll panic and swerve round him into the lampost. The things they get away with for being fluffy

I killed a cat once, because it was annoying.

I've heard about this from others, but I'm too alpha for them. They're annoyingly sappy with me. Have yet to meet to cat that doesn't like me (there almost was once, but then I found out she cuddled next to me when I was asleep)

:) my cat is loving too, I think he gets confused re the desire to kill me. Perhaps he thinks he'll inherit the house and then he gets to choose his own room?

He is enormous the largest breed of domestic moggy, a mainecoon, gigantic fluff ball. Loves cuddles. Likes my bfriend too much though!

There was a tomcat in our neighborhood who occasionally deigned to visit us. He LOVED playing hide and seek (perhaps there were kids at his owners place?) Anyway it took us a while to figure out that when he stands behind a door or wall and peers at us and then takes off at full speed we are supposed to go looking for him. :)

Then there'd be like a half hour of peering around doors and walls (he obligingly comes back if we cannot find him and begins all over). Really funny guy. He used to love the hot fresh chapatis my mom made and would pester my dad until he gave him some. My dad is not too fond of cats but he really liked this one. Said he had "good taste" :)

You're a mental case and you need get help for the safety of society. You kill a cat, what's to stop you there? No remorse? If I were there when you did this to an innocen t cat, I'd do the same to you.

And you're proud of that? Why?I'm not particularly proud of it but since animals have no rights, I'm not going to have any qualms about it either. The annoying witch kept shitting everywhere, throwing up everywhere, and pissing everywhere. After she ruined a third item of clothing I gave myself a week to find another owner for her and since I didn't I had her impounded, and they give cats the needle within two weeks.

Our cats annoy the hell out of me.. especially the drooling one. But I'd never get rid of them, let alone send them to the pound knowing they'd probably be put down. She was probably ruining your clothes because she knew you didn't like her.

James is exactly the right person to say that to. Expect his imminent enthusiastic agreement.

But then you probably know that already. ;)

Roman.

Can all of Sciforums' ladies use their wily womanly ways to establish whether Sandoz is male or female please? ;)

Ta.

Maybe. Now you know what happens to things or people who annoy me. ;)
Send them to the pound?

I killed a cat once, because it was annoying.And you're proud of that? Why?I have never been much of a "cat lover" and have killed a few $500 ones, which were breed and raised for research in The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

One I remember well. It had the most beautiful shiny black fur of any cat I have ever seen - must have been the result of the excellent health care it had received. (Why it cost the research project $500.). We annestizied it and when the experiment of about 20 minutes duration was done, we put it to "sleep" permanently without letting it wake up as was std procedure. - I felt sad about killing such a beauty, but like cattle, it had been raised for this fate and I am guilty of eating meat to support that industry. (Even raised a herd of 50 steers on my farm in Brazil before selling it; but that cattle ranch provided a livelihood to the families of the two men I employed for a decade, at significantly above the local wage.)

As a teenage I abused a mangy stray cat. I feared my dog might get the mange from it and it keep coming around, probably trying to get some scraps from dog's bowl. After having chased it away many times, without preventing its return, one day I caught it and tossed it up in tree in backyard. Then when it tried to come down from that small tree I directed stream of water from hose on it. After about five minutes of this, I let it come down and run away in peace. It never returned after that.

It might have been better to have simply killed it the second time it came around. - It must have had a miserable, hungry existence. Perhaps a quick bullet thru the head would have been more kind, but I was young and could not kill it. What do you think James? or others? BTW, James, do you eat meat?

PS for Bell (et.al) At quite a few pounds I think the surplus of cats are placed in a chamber from which the air is pumped out. I am sure this is much worse than a quick bullet thru the head, but cheaper and leaves no messy marks on the body.

Often I do not like the posts of Baron Max, but he is never guilty of the "out of my sight so it is OK" way of thinking that seems to be common here. I think the Baron has many bad and offensive characteristics, but being a hypocrite is not one.

James_R eats meat now?

Perhaps a quick bullet thru the head would have been more kind, but I was young and could not kill it. What do you think James? or others? BTW, James, do you eat meat?

PS for Bell (et.al) At quite a few pounds I think the surplus of cats are placed in a chamber from which the air is pumped out. I am sure this is much worse than a quick bullet thru the head, but cheaper and leaves no messy marks on the body.

Often I do not like the posts of Baron Max, but he is never guilty of the "out of my sight so it is OK" way of thinking that seems to be common here. I think the Baron has many bad and offensive characteristics, but being a hypocrite is not one.

jesus.....you have got to be kidding. rather than a 'quick bullet thru the head' would it have been better to take it to the RSPCA?

As far as being useful he has captured several rats and countless mice. He really believes he is one of the boys, when they start brushing thier teeth in the evening he heads into thier bedroom and plops himself down on the floor in anticipation of storytime. Afterwards he turns in with them.

I think this pussy killing has been taken out of context due to the wording.

Lots of people take their pets to be 'put to sleep' for mostly humane reasons.
If a cat is peeing and fouling all over the house and due to this reason no one wishes to rehome it, then sadly termination may be the only option. I have children and if my cat became infirm and for whatever reason started fouling in the house, short of making it a nappy (he's sitting next to me) I may have to make that very difficult decision. And it would be difficult. I adore this cat, but the risk to my chilren ie (toxoplasmosis) and the damage and the smell etc, I'd have to consider what to do. And termination, in the absence of rehoming may be the only option. Hopefully it will never come to that, but my mother recently had to have her cat put to sleep for this and other serious health reasons.

The cat had been ill for over a year and my mum had kept him alive longer than expected with a special diet and very special care. NOTE: this cat already fouled in the house. Then he became blind and the situation re fouling became worse. His condition was deteriorating. The house was in a terrible state. Carpets had to be cleaned costing £200 (my mother is pensioner) and sadly the cat was put to sleep. He was 16yrs old. My mother was very distraught about it.

Sandoz may or may not feel the same sadness over her decision but the actions themseves and for those reasons are far from uncommon.

NOTE: I am VERY much the cat lover, I named my daughter after a cat I had many years ago ( no her name is not Tiddles ;) ) so I wouldn't support anything harmful to cats, but sometimes you have to be practical. Sadly so.

What a beauty!

that is a gorgeous fluffy fat moggy! very like mine :)

I can't remember whether I picked him to match the tiles or the tiles to match him??

Thanks, Your cat reminded me of mine Tor. Sam what breed are those cats of yours they look almost feral.

So sock, what death defying antics has your cat engaged in?

Hopping onto the dining room table in my presence ;)

That doesn't sound very death defying, unless he was attempting to accidentally land in your dinner, so you had no choice but to offer it to him. Risking of course a fork up the bottom. (the cat that is)

The self-grooming is mind-boggling. :p

Yeah those furballs can be icky.

Lots of people take their pets to be 'put to sleep' for mostly humane reasons.If only someone could do the same for us. Because we still don't have that option in the USA my mother spent a year in a "nursing home," which is a euphemism for a warehouse for people who are waiting to die. She barely remembered me (I was 55 at the time) but not her daughter-in-law of 20 years. She was heartbroken by the indignity and we stopped visiting when we realized it was painful and embarrassing for everyone. She had a "no tube feeding" order and the m*****f*****s wouldn't even comply with it. They just wanted to keep sucking their money out of her case.

We had a cat who was diagnosed with FIP at age seven and the vet told us she was going to die from it. What he didn't tell us was how long that was going to take. She did indeed die from FeLV (they had now identified the second similar disease)... at age 14.

As a teenage I abused a mangy stray cat. I feared my dog might get the mange from it and it keep coming around, probably trying to get some scraps from dog's bowl. After having chased it away many times, without preventing its return, one day I caught it and tossed it up in tree in backyard. Then when it tried to come down from that small tree I directed stream of water from hose on it. After about five minutes of this, I let it come down and run away in peace. It never returned after that.


What a sad little boy you must have been and continue to be now.

Yes. If the animal is suffering and in pain and there is no treatment for its illness, putting it down humanely (ie through an injection) is probably the best way to go. I know I cried like a baby for over a month when I had to put my dog down many years ago. It was like losing a member of the family. I still feel teary each time I think about it, but there was nothing to be done to save him. He'd been hit by a car and it was amazing he'd survived that, but there was nothing that could have been done to save him, so I took the decision to end his pain and put him to sleep. *eck*.. damn hormones and memories..:(

I'd probaby cry just as much if we ever have to take the decision to put down either of our cats, even if the drooling one drives me up the proverbial wall with his drooling.

Path, if your cat had been slate grey and white, it could very well have been either one of our cats. Even the length of fur and smug look on its face is very much like ours..

It's definately a female, and you can take that to the bank and count it. I'm usually good at judging mindstates and she has a completely opposite mindstate from Roman. Look carefully at the clever choice of words she uses, her vocab is better, she appears to be smarter, and have more social and communication skills.

On the other hand, you are correct, in some ways her and Roman are alike, but not enough to think they'd be the same person. I'm going on record to declare she is a female, just not the usual kind of female you are used to. I declare her female because she thinks like a female, maybe you are confused by her aggression but females have minds that are as aggressive as males and sometimes more aggressive.

What about the animal rescue people who put animals to sleep in mass? I don't think there is a humane reason to have animals put to sleep. Did the animal get to choose?

Of course, maybe Sandoz is correct and animals have no rights, in that case, do you have rights? If you treat your pets like that, just like what she said, it's a sign that you'll likely treat people in the same way when they become sick or no longer useful to you. Are you going to start putting people to sleep?

Our cats annoy the hell out of me.. especially the drooling one. But I'd never get rid of them, let alone send them to the pound knowing they'd probably be put down. She was probably ruining your clothes because she knew you didn't like her.

Actually my opinion is the pound is less efficient than cooking it and eating it. Seriously, we complain about a food shortage, yet we have all these healthy pets being taken to the pound. In other cultures they eat cats and dogs, if there were ever a food shortage, would you still take your annoying pet to the pound?

There are situations where anyone would eat their own cat or dog, or where anyone would kill an animal to survive. The only difference is, some people enjoy killing and some people hate it.

I'm disgusted by hunting and killing stuff, because of conscience, it's heavy. At the same time, me or them? Them.

I have already told my family that if I am ever in an accident or ill and end up in a vegetative state, then the plug is to be pulled. I have legal documents giving the doctors permission if my family ever decide to go against my wishes. My husband is the same.

You're asking the wrong person as I am a strong believer of euthanasia.

In other cultures they eat cats and dogs, if there were ever a food shortage, would you still take your annoying pet to the pound?
If anyone every looked at William and Henry (our cats) and Charles (our dog) and started licking their lips and sharpening their cutlery, I'd douse them with hot oil before setting them alight and throwing their fiery carcasses out the door.:)

Anyway, Sandoz...

Who are you?

My guess is...

Roman.

Can all of Sciforums' ladies use their wily womanly ways to establish whether Sandoz is male or female please? ;)

Ta.

What!?

I am insulted. I would never send a cat to the pound of euthanasia.
I would use a knife.

Whoa.

jesus.....you have got to be kidding. rather than a 'quick bullet thru the head' would it have been better to take it to the RSPCA? I’m not sure of your view. Let me make it more personnel. Suppose you are to be executed and given following two choices as to how:

(1) Quick bulllet (say a 45 cal with blunt expanding nose) thru the head
Or
(2) Be placed in large steel chamber while small vacuum pump removes the air over a 15 minute period. (By time, perhaps 6 or 7 minutes that the pressure drops to equal that at 25,000 feet you will be unconscious so the pain does not last the full 15 minutes.)

Please answer so I will be sure you are recommending the “evacuation chamber” means for killing cats that many "human" societies have adopted mainly for convenience and economy.

Post your favourite cat tales here and pics!


I had a seal-point siamese I raised from a small kitten many years ago.
I named her Tia, after the princess in Annie and the King of Siam.
When I first brought her home she would hop on the back of this older cat I had,
sink her claws in and ride it around the house till she got her "eight seconds" and hop off.
Thats when she was just a kitten.

When she grew up she became quite a hunter, and would belly crawl through the grass like a leopard stalking birds in my yard.
Then when she was as close as she could get without spooking them she would sprint the last few yards as they flew into the air, and jump six feet off the ground, swat one down and pounce on it.

She would have fed me for life if I let her, always bringing me her kills like trophies.
One winter day I fell asleep on the couch, and she went out the little trap door I had for her in the back.
When I awoke, a now warm four foot snake she had caught outside when it was cold and could barely move, was on the floor next to my head coiled up and ready to strike.
I eventualy had to lock her in the house while I took the snake down to the river to turn it loose, cause she kept following me down there and bringing the thing back.

She was as smart as a person and obedient like a dog, some siamese are like that.
She was intentionally killed before she was five years old, by a neighbor's juvenile delinquent kid with mental problems.
The kid probably grew up to be a serial killer, if he ever grew up at all.
I was twenty five and moved shorty after that.
I still think about that cat once in a while, I wish I'd took better care of her.
You live and learn, and I at least learned this...you mark those people who don't have any respect for animals and mistreat them.
Because there's something about them not right in the head.
Keep a close eye on them.

Cats come to you when they want something. My cat does it all the time. She'll ignore me except when she wants something.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/absane/funnycat.jpgThat one is just fucking hilarious.

Cats come to you when they want something. My cat does it all the time. She'll ignore me except when she wants something.

Example: my cat ignored me all day. Then, just now.. I went upstairs. She jumped up from her sleeping position, and slowly led me to the pantry. I knew what she wanted.. treats. I stared at her for about 10 seconds and she gave the "i'm sad" face. I finally gave her some treats. After she ate them, she walked away. Now she is ignoring me again.

Cats differentiate between people who feed them and people they like.

They demand food from people they know will feed them, but they prefer to sit (or sleep) with people they like. I've never had to feed any of my cats since I was always at school or work, so my mum used to take care of that chore. Regardless, they followed me everywhere around the house (even the bathroom!) and slept all over me.

Especially when I started working abroad, everytime I would go home to visit, I had to learn to sleep with one cat tucked into my neck, another one sprawled over my abdomen, a third in the crook of my arm and a fourth all over my ankles. This arrangement was based on a first come first served basis, except for Bagga who would squeeze until he had eased his way into the crook of my arm, sometimes early in the morning followed by long drawn out chats that continued even after he slept. He has these long continuous wails where he forgets to breathe and we all watch in fascination wondering if he will keel over from lack of oxygen! The funniest part was whenever I would turn over they would all reaccomodate themselves. It was both touching and amusing all at the same time. I had cats breathing and drooling on me from all sides.:D

My cat will sleep at the foot of my bed about 1-2 times a week. She sleeps everywhere... under the coffee table, on the stairs, on the couch, in the laundry closet... everywhere.

She'll wake me up some mornings.. but it's usually when she needs to go to the bathroom really bad (we don't use a litter box.. much cheaper to let her go outside).

You probably don't pay attention to her. Cats love attention and especially love being brushed and talked to. One of my oldest cats hated it when I read books at bedtime and would always sit between my book and my eyes so I would pay attention to her. Most of them would also sit next to the computer console or on the keyboard. I used to spend at least an hour everyday after school/work playing with them. If you pay attention to your pets they reciprocate.

I don't know... I pet her numerous times during the day. I give her everything she wants. I play with her.

It's that I think a cat's attention is more conditional than a dog's attention.

Post your favourite cat tales here and pics!

I used to have a cat. A woman in the next town over was breeding main coon cats. These cats were large with long thick fur. The white ones were deaf but they could be almost any color but usually one color or one color with a white belly. Anyway this woman had this female calico cat that she would breed. She would have male cats flown in from anywhere in the country to breed with her cat, but every now and then a cat would be born that looked like a bobcat. My freind got one first, his cat was a male and it had the bobbed tail, camoflage coloring a mixture of browns and black, almost spotted and white underneath from the nose to back to its but and down the inside of the legs and whight feet. Somehow its dark brown pattern turned whiter in the winter. The back legs were longer than the front and very strong and it could jump from the ground to the roof of his garage or house. Half the time he wouldn't even do this if a dog came at him. He would just crouch and growel, and the dog would take off. This cat weighed 30 pounds. And under his neck the white fure was long, a thick white mane. Probably to protect its throat if grabbed by an adversary or larger preditor.
So naturally I asked this woman if she would ;et me have on of these through backs. One litter was all bob tails and she had them locked up in a room. She let me go in and these little things xame at me growling , showing there teeth and swiping thier claws at me. It was adorable But she felt they were to wild and had them put down. What a shame I learned how to tame a wild cat later in life. You keep them in a cage at night and when you take hime out you wrap him in a towel so he won't rip you apart. You show him love by kissing and petting he he will slowly come around. I wouldn't do this with very young childen in the house. It would generally avoid pets but small dogs or puppies could be at risk. I did get a bobtail female kitten it was born with two other normal kittens so its temperment was milder. The other kittens were running and playing and my bobtail had two back feet that were so big it couldn't walk for a while. She only ended up smaller than the average cat but had the same leeping ability. and coloring as my freids cat. When I went to college my mother started balling because I was taking the cat, so I let her have it. The other cat that I raised Was found born in a factory by wild cats I raise him but he jumped into the pool landing on the floating pool liner in the winter and died of hypothermia. He was so currius. He had to investigate everything. I loved that cat his name was little man.
If any one out there knows where I co
