fuck those guys. I grew up with dobermans, chows, and german shepherds, but also cats. Any animal that will play with and torture its prey for an hour before it finally kills and eats it is pretty badass as far as I'm concerned

dont get me wrong, I love dogs and if I had to choose between the two I'd pick the canine, but cats are pretty fucking cool. They take care of themselves, can leap ridiculous distances, shit neatly indoors, are pretty and cute, and don't give a fuck about you.

little fucking panthers, these guys

hey man, dogs are awesome. however, you got to take care of them shits constantly. cats can make it the night if you head out to the bar and head home with some floozy.

yeah... cats.


although lol cats is getting old.

1/25/2009 5:27:02 AM

i actually turned the page on hating cats when my family adopted this wild kitten we found during a rain storm

before Napoleon, i couldn't give less of a shit about cats

but now i see them for the fun, heart-warming creatures they can be

also, i have 600 lolcats saved on my computer

1/25/2009 5:29:46 AM

if I was to get a pet right now between a dog and a cat, I'd go cat, just cause they are cute and I can take pics with lolcat themes.

1/25/2009 5:35:34 AM

i miss my old dog. but i told my ex gf to take her because i couldn't take care of her...

were it a cat... i might could have handled that....


oh well

1/25/2009 5:39:00 AM

this is napoleon, the cat who changed my opinion of cats

1/25/2009 5:39:21 AM

i took that pic in the OP of my mom's cat when i first got my d40x. now I'm sitting here tearing it apart, but that cat is no less badass. She feeds him for his convenience, but if left to his own devices he would (and has) feed himself as well as her dogs with a buffet of birds and rodents.

I have some awesome pictures of him stalking prey in tall grasses but I'm too lazy to upload and hotlink them.

this thread was inspired by the cat in my house right now though, she'll ninja her way through my entire place without ever touching the floor. then she'll land on my belly out of nowhere and lick my nose, it's cute as fuck. she's my buddy's cat that i'm taking care of as a favor, but i probably wouldn't mind keeping her

her name's Kahlua

1/25/2009 5:45:52 AM

oh yeah, after a year or so, napoleon definitely returned to the wild

every once in a while a black flash will run through the field behind the house

and we just nod knowingly

unrelated: one of my favorite things to do when it was a kitten was to take it and slide it way down the linoleum floor from our living room, through the kitchen, down to the bedrooms

it was a good 20 - 25 feet
and the best part was that it'd just run back to get slid down the hall again

1/25/2009 5:50:03 AM

Cats are great for people who like boxes of shit all over your house.

You can tell when someone owns a cat as soon as you walk into their house. It's a disgusting smell, and I don't understand how people can live like that.

Cat people are generally socially maladjusted in my experience.

1/25/2009 8:29:06 AM

so what about people that have a cat, dog, rabbit, and a bird in the house?
should I be locked away?

I think most of those guys are full of shit. My boyfriend used to say that. Now we have 2 cats and he enjoys terrorizing them on a daily basis.

1/25/2009 8:40:42 AM

guys that say $1

fuck those guys. I grew up with $2,$5, and $10, but also change. Any type of money that will pay for items I play with and torture for an hour before I finally buy it is pretty badass as far as I'm concerned

dont get me wrong, I love $1 and if I had to choose between the two I'd pick the change, but $1 is pretty fucking cool. They take care of themselves, can buy ridiculous lap dances at the strip club, fit neatly inside a wallet, are pretty and cute, and don't give a fuck about $2.

This was the line of reasoning that I followed for a long time. Walking into a house and smelling their cat's shit and piss is not good. Even with those expensive litter "systems" you can still smell shit and piss. However, there are at least 2 solutions: Either have a toilet-trained cat, or simply have an outdoor cat, possibly with a cat house.

My cat is the first cat I've ever had. I'm really a dog person, (dogs love me....) so when I took in this stray kitten, everyone was like "WTF? Let me tell you: scooping and cleaning the litter box sucks, so I taught my cat to shit and piss in the toilet, and I haven't scooped poop in over 2 years. Oh, and he's a ninja.

I suppose this might be true for lazy fucks who refuse to clean out the litter box.

If you clean it everyday, you never smell much of anything. I use flushable litter, and it's ten times easier to deal with than taking a dog outside and picking up his shit after he unloads on a neighbors lawn.

And some dog owners are rather needy, and have to have that endless affection a dog gives to make themselves feel better about life. Also, a lot of them are assholes who don't clean up after their pup.

heh. I have never met a cat that's straight up VENGEFUL like cats are


I had an ex that loved cats and always had them. these cats were always outdoors cats (knew to shit outside), and they were pretty old (they knew what was up).
Anyway, the exes little brother had to take the cat to the vet. to get a shot or something. the cat did not approve.

when they returned home, the cat promptly went upstairs, and took a shit on his bed pillow

Retarded statement. My fiance and I own 2 cats. Our apartment always smells very clean and we have 2 cats that use 1 litter box in one central location (not all over the house). They have never shat or pissed in any location beside the litter box. If you buy the right cat liter/cat box and clean the box 1-2 times a week then you won't get that smell.

Also, neither my fiance or I are "socially maladjusted."

We are also going to get a dog once we have a house and backyard. I don't want a dog cooped up in a small apartment.

1/25/2009 10:16:27 AM

I don't hate cats, it just seems that every cat i have ever come in contact with hates humans.

i don't hate them, I just wouldn't ever own one.

1/25/2009 10:26:27 AM

one of my cats is very loving to everyone and the other is only very loving toward us. Neither of them would ever hiss or scratch a person.

If you had a cat of your own then it will warm up to you but not necessarily other people.

1/25/2009 10:33:31 AM

will they bark if someone tries to break in?

1/25/2009 10:35:21 AM

Stray cats about 1-2 years old are awesome to adopt. I had a cat that knew he didn't shit in the apartment. He would go outside and i never had a problem with any smell from him. Plus you don't have to find someone to watch your cat if you want to leave for 4-5 days. All thats need is a big bowl of food.

1/25/2009 10:44:11 AM

^^No, but they also won't bark when any random person, be it a friend or just a fucking ups guy, try to knock on your door.

Or when they see a bird just outside the window.

Or when something they can't get to breathes or farts.

I really don't see how dog owners ever get any sleep, it would be like taking care of an infant... only without the diapers.

NO, it smells clean to you because you are a crazy cat person. to everyone else your house smells like shit and piss.

1/25/2009 10:49:15 AM

^^If I owned a dog, which I'd probably never do, I would much rather it just shut the fuck up.

...Which is probably one of the major differences between why I prefer cats and you do not.

[Edited on January 25, 2009 at 10:50 AM. Reason : .]

1/25/2009 10:50:34 AM

^^ same can be said for dog owners though. I clean my house constantly and bathe my dog every other week. but people that don't own dogs will still come in and say they can tell that I have a dog.

^ and that is the best part about having a dog. they are trainable. if you don't want them to bark, then train them not to bark. my dog is over the barking at squirrels and birds thing. now he just barks when someone rings the doorbell or if he hears someone fucking around with the house.

i think its more true for owners of large dogs, those things stink. if little dogs leave a smell its cause they shit or piss somewhere, but they dont have the crazy dog BO funk.

my post was never intended to be a "dogs are better than cats" post, just a "yes, your cats DO fucking stink" post

come to my house and take a big whiff. I have plenty of company over all the time and nobody notices the smell (even in the bathroom where we keep the litter box).

I've gone into houses that smell like cats. It's gross. These people don't clean their boxes often and have cats that have peed in the house.

Like I said before get a good litter box, use good litter and clean the box 2 times a week then you'll be good.

when you visit someone's house do you tell the host if their house stinks? no, you act like you don't notice

1/25/2009 10:57:23 AM

whenever I walk into a house that has a cat, I can smell it. now, that's not to say that it's just because they don't clean like they should, but some cats spray when they get nervous. and once that smell gets in your carpet, you ain't getting it out.

trust me. when me and my ex moved in together, her 3 year old litter box trained cat decided to start pissing in our master closet on a regular basis. sometimes the smell in there would make my eyes water. i shampooed that shit constantly and couldn't get rid of the smell.

1/25/2009 10:57:58 AM

I agree that cat piss is disgusting. My cats have never peed anywhere beside the litter box but they might start once they get older.

The cat at my mom's house started to pee in other places once it got really old. I guess it was too old to get to the litter box every time.

[Edited on January 25, 2009 at 11:02 AM. Reason : I have female cats too. Male cats are more prone to spray.]

My Douche Bag comment: "I hate cats. All they do is eat, sleep, and shit in a box."

I believe that they can be homey, friendly and potentially fun, but not for me. I do not enjoy them and think they are silly. There is definately a big difference in "cat people" and dog people.
