I ADORE cats.

I have nine at present. I take all the ones that are helpless, abused, mistreated, neglected or homeless and i give them a home, pay all their vet bills to get fixed and healthy.. then three shots a year... until I can find them a loving and responsible homes.

All the ones that are unplaceable... missing limbs, emtionally distressed or otherwise impaired, will live with me forever.

I placed about 2 dozen cats and 2 dogs over the last two years.

I love teh kittays.

How do you tell if a cat is emotionally distressed? There's a stray cat family (2 adults, 6 kittens) that's been living on my porch for about 3 weeks now. We are taking care of them because the neighborhood has a stray dog problem. The kittens are all right but the momma cat looks....sad all the time. Maybe one of her kitties was killed by a dog?
 
I'm a guy and I think cats are really the perfect pet. They crap in a sandbox and you can leave them in the house for a day or two with plenty of food and water and nothing will be fvcking destroyed when you return.

Awww....

Well, most cats will, after some time, learn to trust and they will be friendly ... to some extent. There is a small percentage of them that will never, ever come around. They will always be unfriendly. I have had so many truly feral cats that have to varying degrees become less wild. Most even let me hold them for a time. Some just never, ever come around, feral or domesticated. I call them distressed.

Also, some cats that have been abused never get 100% over it. They will, again to varying degrees, always be skittish or scared or the like. Or they will be really needy and always wanting to be close because that is the only way they feel safe.

When I bring a new cat home... 90% of the time, they will adjust to everyone else within a few days, a week at the most. If they do not, I look for the problem. Even if they don't always get along, they usually give each other wide berth and get on with life. If that doesnt happen, I take extra effort to find out what is happening with the new adoptee. More times than not, it is emotionally distressed.

 
Actually..I dislike cats for the most part.

However, I absolutely hate the neighbor's cats who keep getting into my yard even after he has ben told that they do it. His reply was, "Just let your dogs run them off."

Yeah, you dumbfvck, that'll work....NOT. They just keep coming back about every day, up to 5 times a day.

One of his cats has already died because it decided to playing in the street was a good idea. I am so close to catching the little sh!ts and taking them to the SPCA.
 
not sure how you'll get a good sample on this forum considering there are only like 5 females compared to 5 million guys
 
cats are foul, anoying, worthless creatures. the only reason we treat them any better than we do rats is because they manage to convince weak people that they're cute.



all kidding aside, I really don't like cats.
 
wow i think tihs poll is more indicitive of the number of females on anandtech and I thought the University of Purdue had a high Male/Female ratio. Tell you the truth, its minorly depressing.
 
i like most animals too

i prefer having a dog but i've had cats in the past... i'm allergic though but i still like em
