Based on the thread title, I expected to see the pic of the kitten curled up inside the dress of a hot blonde.

to a cat you're a food source, nothing more. that dries up they move along, dogs don't. and like i said i can teach a dog to get me a beer from the fridge, you can't teach a cat to do shit.


You got it all wrong. The reason you can't teach a cat is because you are not the master. A cat lets you live with it, lets you pet it and lets you feed it. You are not a food source, you are a slave and you are lucky that the cat has chosen to allow you to serve it !

Clearly your stance of dominance was not high enough to earn the cats respect to be taught.

You failed as a master and thus you belong to the cat now.

I like both cats and dogs, but I feel like cats have a far better effort to reward ratio. Dogs take a lot of work. All I have to do for my cat is feed her twice per day and scoop her litter box daily and I'm good to go. Obviously I enjoy doing more with her especially since she's young and full of energy, but if I have a long day and don't have time for the cat it's not a big deal.

Another wonderful example of how low maintenance cats are. I didn't even have to teach my cat to use a litter box. I just plopped her in it after I took her in, she scratched around a bit and then took a piss. Haven't had any problems with her going anywhere else since then. Good kitty :)

same with my kittens. Only problem they have is occasionally they will step in their own crap and i need to give them a bath or else they will track it all over my house. this happens about once a month.

I think i might have to get them a bigger litter box, but i already have a huge one, the omega paw litter box

I just buy those huge gladware storage containers and throw a couple boxes of litter in them. It's like they have their own sandbox to go in. :D

Those guys love their sun, that's for sure! They can't sleep too long though, or their sun disappears. :)

Idea for a useless product: A Roomba with light sensors and a pet bed on top.

Cat lays on top, and the Roomba slowly follows the light.



Then you get a bright laser pointer and run it into a wall to wake up your lazy cat. :D

lol priceless! And I have that same faucet!

My cat used to like sleeping in the sink too, she'd want me to let the water drip. She'd clean herself in it lol.
