If a cat scratched you while you were petting it...

You're a cat lover? I'm willing to bet that the force your tiny, "cat loving" body could put behind taht hit would be minimal. It's worth it.

GOD! I'm so sick of hearing "this is how you pet a cat and this is how you don't." If I'm trying to show affection and the cat can't tell the difference between that and being petted, THEN IT AIN'T AS FVCKING SMART AS YOU THINK IT IS, IS IT?

I'm so sick of hearing hormone induced ragers talking about how they'd commit a criminal act if they were petting an animal that doesn't belong to them which they already don't like and it lightly scratched them to get them to stop. I guess it evens out.

Most cats will give you plenty of signals that you are annoying them before they bite or scratch. If we are talking about such a cat then it is in fact you who would be the dumb one in this case, because you were given plenty of warning by the cat that it didn't like you petting its stomach or whatever. If we are talking about psycho cats at least you would have a legitimate gripe, although I'm uncertain how this justifies a criminal act.

Furthermore, if the scratch actually hurt, then you should be hitting the owner for not properly trimming the cat's nails, because it is extremely unlikely that a cat with properly trimmed nails is going to hurt you with its claws.

If this is something you would actually say in your life, I suspect that the problem goes beyond cats and might be hormonal in nature... "Oh my god, the cat lightly scratched me! I'm so pissed. I'm going to kick it across the room and spit on it."

Frankly, if I have to defend myself against a cat, dog, whatever, I could care less who it belongs to. And I'll worry about the criminal charges AFTER I've dealt with the situation. And if a cat sinks its claws into me unprovoked, it's going airborne. I don't give a rat's ass if it's not "his fault" but rather his owner's. The owner isn't the one who's claws are buried an inch deep into my arm.

"Excuse me. Sir? Could you please remove your cat from my neck. Kindly before I bleed out? Thanks."

That ain't how it's going down. With any luck, I'll get two birds with one stone and actually manage to clock the owner WITH the cat as it goes hurling across the room.

Flame away.

If you have to defend yourself then I agree. If the cat scratches you lightly or playfully, I don't see how that justifies you hitting the cat.

Well, I would never hit a cat. I prefer to throw them and, if necessary, kick them.

Umm do you always, umm talk like this? You sound like a nice guy, probably a mouthbreather. :thumbsup:

I do breathe out of my mouth sometimes! Your so smart!

Some might think you just called me a stupid pimply faced D&D playing teenager. I am not sure though. I mean, that would just further prove that you have no real content for an argument and you must resort to name calling.

i am indian and i love cats.

I hate dogs.

Cats make good shotgun silencers, ala Postal 2.

 

[Rayden]

I love cats. You have to expect a little scratching sometimes. Just dont pull your hand back really fast, cause that just digs their claws in more.

 

[w00t]

Dont have a cat wouldnt know.

 

[Stuxnet]

Kick one anyway.

I just ran over another cat this weekend near the woods by my house. I swear, there is a CONSTANT flow of cats running back and forth between the dingy apartment complex and the woods across the street from it.

I need to take a picture of that short stretch of road. There's always at least 2 dead cats laying on the side of the road.

Could you size them at 1600x1200 for my desktop?

TIA

So, what you're saying is: you let your dog lick your pussy? That is gross.

A friend of mine was watching his neighbors cat a couple summers ago, its a really nice cat, one of those lazy fat ones that loves to cuddle up and be petted and stuff. Needless to say, something spooked the little b!tch out, and wham, scratch down half my arm. Well, the field goal was good

I have seen cats that behave this way. They come up and rub your leg and stuff, and they're like, "pet me pet me i love you so much, touch me" and then when you do, they give you a little nip or scratch.

The solution is obviously to send them careening off the nearest wall via a well-placed kick to the stomach or ass, just to let them know who's boss.

I had a cat once named "Boo"... his thing was biting / nibbling on whoever he was sitting or laying on. So I'd have to put a blanket on so he wouldn't knaw my skin or wreck my clothes. He ended up running away, but... oh well. He had issues.

I had a big, black cat, but he ran away, haven't seen him since. He always came to me when I was lying on my back, watching TV. He'd jump on my belly, come to my head, and wrap his paws around my neck, as in a hug-like fashion. He'd put his nose against mine, and lick my cheeck. God, I miss him.

Jesus Christ... please tell me you're not a man.

Dude, STFU. I loved him, and I will not tolerate any bad talk about him, you hear? Why would it be bad to love an animal, anyway. I mean, it'd be bad to 'get' it from behind, but other than that, it's perfectly fine.

Cliffs: STFU, n00b!

... and I believe that to be the source of the problem: cats quickly forget who's boss. A kick square to the sphincter is a great temporary solution to this "forgetfulness", but I know of no permanent cure. Perhaps a labotomy?

wtf? how is that relevant?

In my experience, asians and indians don't like cats.

In asian culture a cat is sort of like what a chicken is in american culture.

I hate cats. I'd have to throw it across the room.

 

[stan394]

I love visiting my friends who have either cats or dogs... so i can play with them for the evening and not have to worry about walking, feeding and whatnot them..... heh

Yes, I am male, and as you might know (or not, you loveless bastard), males are able to show affection and love, too.
