Cardboard is the only thing you need for a cat, a cardboard box.. a few bags, etc... and your kitty will be in heaven.

prob cause you treated them like sh!t.

I don't have any problem with people hating animals but if you do just don't get one. Simple logic.


Actually we were very loving to the cats and one was just a b1tch to begin with. The other we still have and are as nice as we can be to her. We give cat nip, toys, treats, etc. They were and are just retarded and like to poop 1 foot from the litter box.

Nope, had them since they were kittens. The first one was always good with using the litter box, the other cat started peeing everywhere and was a total psycho so I had to dispose of her. The first one we still have and I think she is just too fat and lazy to get into the litter box everytime.

Dogs are good if you want your backyard turned into a toliet.

We have two little yorkies and their poop is so small it isn't an issue. And they usually go on these pads inside the house that are intended for that.

I would recommend a low maintenance long life pet such as a turtle or lizard.

I have had my turtle for 20 year and all it needs is new water and food ever day and clean its terrarium once every other month. Best part is they sleep during the winter so no need to feed them then.

but does your turtle offer you companioship, affection? does he even recognise you? are turtles clever?

Yes she does when i come home she runs to conner wanting food. She likes her neck to be rubed as well. BTW did you know turtles can see colors.

how big is her terrarium? what does she eat? she sounds pretty cool :)

I gave her to my friends chinese restaurant...


Kidding of course

Basically she pretty much attacked my mom one morning and ripped open a vain on her hand and I was already fed up with the cat pissing on my electrical strips and all over new carpets so I put her in a pet travel bag and drove out to this horse and animal farm and let her go. So who knows maybe some family took her in or maybe she got hit by a mack truck, I could care less.

She is about 35-40 in human years.

No I could have taken her to the humane society where she would get lethal injection.

Or let her go around some busy roads. At least I drove her out to the middle of no where where the hicks live.

Get a cat that has the biggest growth potential. That way, you can have it nice and plump for Thanksgiving.

turtles dont have teeth they have a beak that needs to be trimed every few years i did a test with food and put color die on it she likes orange/yellow color (note it was all same type of food)
