That notebook is precariously close to the edge of that couch. If Morris stretches his legs a little it's gonna go over the side! :Q

Wow. You cat people are truly a different breed of human. I'm thinking "They could care less about the things they spend their hard-earned money on" and "Oh it's only money."

Am I close?

Here's what I have gathered from this and 2,543 other identical ATOT threads:


1. My cat left a 24", 4-claw, diagonal scratch across my new 24" LCD. He's so cute when he's mad!!! 😕

2. My cat walks across, then pees on the keyboard when I'm typing medication instructions to the nurses in the ER at 4:00 AM when i'm off shift. He's so cute! 😕

3. My cat has this really cute habit of biting my hand while I'm trying to type my 42-page thesis for my final in Cubical Mathematics For Logistical Spinal Surgery. He's so cute!!! 😕

What the fuck is wrong w/you dumbasses? You are keeping a wild animal in your house. It pisses, shits and bites you. Clogs your fresh-air exchange vents with dander-infested hair...and you just think it's great. Holy shit. Please God...remove them from our planet before they breathe up whats' left of the uncontaminated air!

Aww how cute! Someone had a traumatizing incident with a cat when they were a child!

Edit: And no, you were not even close.

I wonder what your mother says about you. What I'm sure is that she wishes she'd had a cat, not you.

Same cat has a habit of curling up on CRT monitors for warmth. One time he jumped on top of my 2405FPW. Good thing I was close enough to catch it as it fell forward.

That was the only time he tried, and the only time I've ever kicked a cat. Now we understand each other better.

Housecats are domesticated, they are not wild animals.


From my experience, my cats only ever piss or crap someplace other than their litterbox because it is too filthy for them to want to step into. Operator error.


As far as teeth and claws, you just have to know your pet and what s/he likes and doesn't like. Also, I'm not one of those nutbags who thinks declawing is cruel. We got our cats when they were already declawed (one still has his back claws).

It isn't really hard to keep cats content and well-behaved. Give them food and water, change their litter regularly, give them a little attention occasionally and don't do things that you know will piss them off.

What did you do to your cat to piss it off so much? My cat has never bitten me or pissed in the house it only hisses at me when i step on her tail.
 
I have 2 cats now (4 at one time).

Maple (she was shaved in the pic) is an Orange / White Persian... she liked being under my old computer desk: maple

I found Victoria (Silver / White Persian) hiding in a moving box.. she loves boxes: Victoria

Here is maple being weird... she likes leaning against the wall, maybe because she's overweight? maple

I love my cats.

true, but you gotta be carfeful still, my neighbor has a "awwwh cute cat" and it would lay across the laptop keyboard and they thought their cat was so adorable. The wife installed a fish tank screen saver, I guess the cat saw it and did a number trying to get the fish 🙂

This picture would make a great photochop template. I'd like to see some folks replace the screen contents of the laptop with various things. 😀

Holy Shiznit! Why did you break into my house and steal my cat??!! :|

Seriously though he looks exactly like my cat. My cat considers anything that I am trying to use as his personal play toy/heating pad/shedding post
