most things people hate about cats can be related to ignorant cat owners..
For example, an owner ignorant of 3M spray on contact adhesive may not know that, when sprayed onto a feline's coat, it will prevent the nasty cat hair issues associated with keeping the beasts in one's house. :evil:

They need to engineer a cat that will sleep though the friggin night instead of jumping all over the bed. :mumble:
And pissing, crapping and puking all over the place. If I could have mine reengineered I would.

Damn, you guys have some ill behaved cats.

My cat leaves me alone at night except to sleep next to me. He quit bothering me after I whacked him (gently, but firmly) a few times.

He pisses and craps in his litter box.

He claws only his designated scratching post.

The worst he does is occasionally puke, but this happens rarely (probably once every few months), and only after I've left out something bad for him to eat.

Cats aren't brilliant but they're definitly trainable...

Most people let the cat take over the house. They're very trainable, but if given the opportunity, they will accept Head of the Household status.

I wish I had the patients (notice incorrect use of patience) to train ours to use the commode.

It depends on the cat.

We have two, a bro and sis from the same litter. Cats can give birth to a litter of kittens from different fathers. Our boy cat is black w/ white feet, and the girl cat is a tabby.

The boy cat got the wrong genes.

The girl cat is intelligent, agile, freindly, affectionate, doesn't piss everywhere, and lets us sleep. She even greets us at the door.

The boy cat is a goddamn no good f*ckin retard. He falls off of furniture. He knocks stuff over. He pissed on a matress, (ruined it) He claws the couch. His meow is annoying and whiney. He drinks out of the toilet when there is always fresh water for him. He drools on you when you let him up in your lap. He is very skittish - if he gets startled when you are holding him, (someone speaking suddenly can do it) he will claw the crap out of you before running away.

Seriously, you look at this cat and think, "Wow, that's the same blank stare I get from pigeons..."

So yeah, cat haters can change, but not with cats like this.

No sh!t...my cat is the same way...she does wake up in the wee hours of the morning occasionally wanting to be let out, but it's because she has to use the bathroom and her litter box is in the garage...can't blame her for that...she is 16 1/2...and she has NEVER pissed or crapped in the house...she's yaked a few times, but the poor thing can't help it...she is the only kitty a few cat haters I know love...she is SUCH a GOOD kitty! and CUTE, too! Look how CUTE she is! AWWWWW! :heart: :love:

This one lets us sleep at night. Her only problem is that she likes to jump on counters, but she knows she is not supposed to because she only does it when I am not in the room. PUNK.

Forgot this one...

During dinner last night, the boy cat comes in and pukes on the floor. Then starts to eat it.

I had visions of me down at the river stuffing this cat into a pillow case filled with sand...

Hayley got into a glue trap for mice when we lived in the country. It was nice for a fluffy cat. :help:

See, nobody would let a dog get away with stuff like that. If I had a cat like that, I would either try to break it of its bad habits, or make it live outside. If neither of those were an option, I would get rid of it.

Cannot be broken, just too damn stupid. Might as well try to teach it to fly.

We live (lived, we're moving) on a busy street, the cat would be dead in an instant if we let it out. I can't get my fiance or my kid to even consider SPCA, so I dunno.

The woman we are sub-letting to has met the cat and she loves him, (?? :confused: ) so he's staying there for now.

I've got her twin sister here...



She was a stray that wandered up behind the house. It's as if she made a deal with us "If you let me live in your house, I won't cause a bit of trouble." The only thing she demands is food (she's starved enough for one lifetime) and some lap time.

that's my girlfriend's cat (her and i live together). that cat pissed me off so much when it was young, but now that it's about 2yrs old, she's pretty cool. used to keep me up all night scratching the bed. nothing i did would keep her from scratching. but she's a lot better now. rarely gets on my nerves, if ever. in that picture, she's testing out the left-over mashed potatoes. she'll dab her paw, then lick it. then dab, then lick, etc.



yeah, she knows what's up. her coat is quite pretty, compared to any other medium-haired cat i've seen. it's called Torby; tabby + tourtise shell.

this cat is my girlfriend's sister's. lucifer must be inside her body. you can't get within a foot of her without her hissing and rearing back like that

I have a gato Named Uncas. That cat is pretty smart. I taught her how to play fetch last week :thumb:

When she starts to piss me off, she goes outside, where there is plenty of food and water

My g/f's cat is awesome. Practically a dog without the annoying drawbacks...

Meets you at the door.

Always used the litter box.

Always uses his scratching posts (he has three).

Is very friendly to strangers - whenever there is a gathering of people he has to be sprawled out in the middle of the room.

When I go out to work in the garage, he'll sit in the sunroom and watch for me to return.

He used to wake us up at 3am to be fed, but we've since gotten an auotmatic feeder so now I just wake up (with the alarm) with him hogging up space on my side of the bed...

He is very tolerant/forgetful/stupid. We'll play/torture the crap out of him to the point where he'll hiss and run away... and 10 minutes later he'll be back for more.

Begs at the table at formal family dinners - especially if there's turkey.

Loves fresh tomatos. :think:

Isn't too bad when it comes to getting his claws trimmed, although it's best done with two people as he goes basically limp when all for paws are held.

Oh how cute! She DOES look like my Zakko. How nice of you to take her in and take care of her...poor little thing. I think Zakk might be just a bit cuter though. :D

I'll have to find some pics of my baby. He's like the dog version of Cartman. If I'm laying on the couch he walk over and burp in my face.
And yes he is a little big boned.

a cat or a dog? nasty that it will burp in your face...
He's half sheppard / malamute. Looks like a husky but weighs in @ 160.
He's the biggest baby and he always is getting into food. I left an unopened packet of skittles on my coffee table once. And in the middle of the night I heard them pour out all over the floor. Then he started eating em one by one. He didn't just swallow 'em but he would chew each individual one.

Oh yeah, and he likes to eat cats. :cool:
