Mine doesn't mind, I have a harness but I usually just clip it to her collar. She also doesn't mind when I give her a bath either. Or riding in a car all day. The only thing she is really picky about is her food (Purina One Special Care Healthy Weight Management and from experience she will starve before eating anything else) and water (has to be in one of those fountain things, a major pain when travelling)

I've had mostly cats in my life, though my wife developed allergies recently so currently we have no pets :brokenheart: I feel bad for people who don't have an appreciation for cats. It's one thing to prefer another type of pet, but if you can't see what incredible animals cats are you've never paid attention to one.

Should I even bother to mention what could have happened if that was a 100 pound dog instead of a 10 pound cat? Would you be trying to put a cardboard box over him then?

I bet it'll eat it's ass and sh!t on your carpet like no tomorrow too, eh? ;)

uh...dog's can be house trained you know? I can just let mine out the back, and they dump/piss there. No litter box to clean out.

My dog is trained to go in a litter box (she's a shih tzu).

I don't care for owning any pets but cats are cool in my book

Not all cats are like that. That's like me pointing to a dog in the news for killing a baby and saying that is the reason why I hate dogs.

My cat is the coolest, most loving cat I have ever seen. He's never bitten or scratched anyone.

Hahahaha, cats are not meant to be man's b!tch (like a dog), they do what they want, and you need to respect that. His first mistake was the leash...

That's because the stupid human started jerking him around on that leash like a damned yo-yo! How would you like that?

Dumbass holds cat on his lap and annoys it by petting it the wrong way. Cat proceeds to go berserk because it's leashed. Original poster takes this as a sign that cats are completely worthless. :roll:

good point - i never heard of anybody being mauled by their pet cat, but pet dogs ... watch out!

i'd also way rather clean a litter box then go hunting for "presents" in the yard. yuck!

btw, that video is hilarious! almost looks like the cat is getting his nads. ouch!

So because cats don't have the ability to maul people, they are better? :confused:

Dude, cats suck. I have two dogs and cat, and the cat doesn't do sh!t. My dogs are happy to see me when I come in the house, want to play, don't have claws (not like the sharp cat ones) and don't shed.

LOL...I love my cats dearly, but they've been known to do some incredibly dumb stuff on occasion. My wife and I look at them as the equivalent of 2-year old children: Incredibly curious creatures that want to taste, touch and smell everything they can reach, while constantly finding new ways to get in trouble. :D

How old are yours? Once you get them neutered, that activity ceases pretty quick. Although I agree, they can still go bonkers sometimes. It's like they see ghosts or something and just freak right out for no reason. Hilarious, and down right loveable. :)

This little guy is neutered and he is the single most annoying cat on the planet. We love him to death but he has the curiosity of 10 cats and never misses an opportunity to cause mayhem.

Wow, such nice eyes on that guy!
Well, maybe not all are affected by neutering. :)
Here's ours, don't know what it's gonna be like when he dies. :(

Cats rule :) Ridiculously intelligent. My 3 month old kitten makes me wonder... "Is she smarter than me?" :D

Anyways, few pictures of Smokey...

4 weeks old
7 weeks old
12 weeks old

I have a bunch of cats. They are always glad to see me... with head butts, rubbing and little bites. I havent seen a mouse, rat, snake or anything like that for years. And some of them even preform tricks, like fetch, sing, kisses...etc...They aren't needy, are low maintainence, and are soft and furry.

I love dogs... have always had dogs, until last year. But I like cats better!

Your cat doesn't like you because you don't show respect for it. Dogs are dumb, you could replace yourself with a tree and they would still be just as happy to see it.

Obviously you hate the cat. Do you really expect her to love someone that hates her? Sorry dude, find a new home for your cat. That poor thing deserves a better home.
