LOL...its funny because its true. WTF is their problem anyway? I can't even see you so stop getting mad when I step on you when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I don't have night vision and eyes set 9 inches above the ground, so you'd think they'd pick up the slack on the moving out of the way thing!

Cats are teh Suck.

The best compliment I've heard about a cat was "It's just like a dog!"

Guess what, if you get a dog, it's JUST LIKE A FRICKEN DOG!

Get a dog, get off your lazy ass and walk it... and it provides 1000x more companionship than a cat ever will.

<---- Pictures OP running to answer the phone, seeing the cat and thinking it will move, realizing the cat is not going to move, performs awkward leap and falls on @ss and misses phone call.

This is mainly a humor thread you dorks. The cat was 7 human years old when I got it, keeping it as a favor to a family member. I give her plenty of attention, but she is irreconcilable. She's part siamese and frankly a miserable bitch of an animal. Giving her more attention only teaches her that meowing incessantly works. I am quite correct in my OP indictment. If I do send her off it will simply be back to my sister once she moves into a place that allows animals

This is alright, although I disagree with your conclusions. Siamese are extremely vocal cats, known for their high-pitched meows, and require more attention than your average cat. They're also very intelligent and long-lived. Her meowing is her talking to you. It's not wrong to reward her.

It's neglected cat behavior.

Exactly.

I always tell my friends that having a cat is not like getting a pet, but a roommate...

<----------- cat person all the way!

All cats are like the one you describe. All cats should all be thrown into a meat grinder and fed to baby cats to get them big and fat so you can throw them into the meat grinder and repeat the cycle over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

 

[Horus]

Umm. It's part of owning a cat.

Dogs are much worse IMO.

I have two cats and one dog. The dogs scoots her ass accross the white carpet, making streaks. She licks herself making a nasty sound. She scratches her ears till they beleed. She is always getting infected ears, making me clean them with goop. I have to spend tons of cash on vets bill and monthly grooming. She sleeps where you trip on her, also makes dirt spots from sleeping in the same few spots.

My cats just hang out and kick back. The worse I get is the "I'm thirty, get fresh water" meow at 4am. I'd take five cats before I ever get another dog.

We've got a Siamese-mix female named Gabby (because she "talks" so much). This is the first cat I've had in 10-12 years, and had numerous dogs during that time.

This is my first Siamese, and I was honestly expecting her to be just like any other cat I had growing up. Boy was I wrong, and I love this cat to death. She's extremely social and chatty, and seems to exhibit behaviors more like a dog than a cat. She does seem to take up more with my wife than me, but doesn't matter.

We've got a new domestic shorthair kitten that loves me more, so I'm happy.

 

[homestarmy]

That sounds more like a girlfriend than a cat.

I slept with my cat as a kitten, and I think I rolled over on him too many times, because now he has closeness issues (thought he loves to be around me). I can't hold him all that much, and he always lays with me, but at arm's length.

I guess I tramuatized him as a kitten, so sad!

 

[PricklyPete]

I hate cats...so my opinion might be biased. Get a real pet...get a dog.

My GF has a Traditional Balinese (longhaired Siamese breed) and I have never seen a more intelligent and loving cat. Totally a one-person cat though. It only loves my GF and merely tolerates (at best) everyone else (including me). Very talkative and interactive. Believe it or not, we have proven beyond all doubt that it understands human speech. And at 14 years of age, it's still as healthy as a kitten.
My cat is a 10 year-old Maine my excellent compatriot. That breed is very interesting as well. He's quite the character. It seems kind of odd for a 17 lb. cat to be gentle and shy with a tender ego, and have a little tiny meow like a kitten. He's had chronic kidney failure since June, so it's been a little tough at our house, even though he seems to be doing much better.

Sounds like my cat.

If I may ask, how have you proven this?

It's basically something I see on a daily basis but the most convincing time of all for me was this: both cats get very angry whenever we leave out-of-town. My GF is holding her cat in her lap, petting, purring, everything happy, etc., on a Wednesday evening, and then she tells the cat that we are going to be gone that weekend. The cat suddenly stops purring, growls loudly, tries to scratch my GF, and then runs off her lap hissing and hides in the closet.

LOL. Our cat, even though not a specific breed, is the same way. When she was being bad, we'd talk to her: "Do you want us to leave for a few days?" and I swear she'd stop being annoying and be a good girl I :heart: cats. So much character

Man, my mom used to work as a vet tech, and I saw that joke posted on the fridge in her office at least as far back as 1993.
