Anyone want a stupid cat? |
A year is all I think I can take.
I found my kitten starving, freezing and sick under a big tree over a
year ago.
I have given her absolutely everything and I treat her like a
daughter.
In the past two months she has broken keepsakes, trying to get to
places she shouldn't be.
Broken electronics, being on things she shouldn't be on.
Almost managed to get us evicted by being where she shouldn't have
been.
And ruined food that was intended for the stupid humans who live here,
who never thought they had to cover food on the damn dinner table when
they step away for TWO SECONDS before the meal!
Today, she managed to destroy TWO brand new dvds by jumping onto
something she wasn't ever supposed to jump on.
Is this teenage-hood for cats? Time to push all the buttons and
boundaries?
argh.
I am so glad I don't have kids.
I'd be in jail for manslaughter.
I am so freaking ***** at her right now ... I honestly wouldn't
give a ***** if anyone wanted her.
Take her now.
I'm over it.

feeling crappy cause she's fighting with her cat.

Heh, I can see you've never heard of 'catproofing' your house!!!
As she gets older, she'll be less active... But still, it will need
maintenance and attention, and you'll just have to learn things you can and
can't do with it around.

Is catproofing even possible??? well, I guess so. I did, after all,
put all myt breakables into the display case instead of on top of
furniture. And I haven't done any PC or beadwork since they were more
mobile. Today, I introduced them to the piano (which I haven't played
in at least 3 years). They were fascinated.

Timmy likes butter. We've learned not to leave any butter on the
counter. Ever since we found an interesting depression in it and
suddenly realized it was from Timmy's licking it.

Well, one can try to catproof.
With other things, like not letting them to get ON something, I gave up on

I make sure that the housekeeper in addition to wiping the dust, wipes kitty
footprints off of stuff.
Some people think it's too dirty... if they're house cats, things are just
fine. I've done this for years, and noone gets any kind of mysterious germs
or gets sick.
After first couple of years the kitties slowed down some. Now they're 7 year
old lazy cats, not much trouble to get into... except for bubba castchng his
lip on his own claw few days ago.. silly cat!

Yea, I've learned to never leave food out, make sure all doors that need to
be closed are closed as soon as I walk through them, leave the toilet lids
down, put plants out of reach, have child locks on cupboards... Bubba knows
how to open cupboards. Oh yea, Bubba loves to chew on plastic bags and any
kind of cellophane, so I have to be careful with trash. Bunch of little
things like that.

How did he do that?
He was just sitting there cleaning himself. next thing I hear is this
nervous panicky hissing and growling. I go to check on him, and he's got his
paw stuck in his mouth, caught his lower lip on a claw like it's a fish
hook. He couldn't get himself loose, I had to do it for him.
I've never seen or even heard of a cat do that. But, this one is kind of
clumsy... I've seen raccoons with more grace and agility than this cat!!!

was in pain, but it looked like a major blooper too.

Bubba reaches for the moulding lip under the door and pulls it open... then
sticks his head in there, and gets it open all the way. Sometimes it takes
him 5-10 tries... I just keep hearing the kitchen cupboards go thunk, thunk,
thunk...
Then he makes it in there, finds a shelf with some room on it and goes to
sleep.

At first I thought it was like rubber bands, they smell like something
musky-organic to cats, and the go nutty over them... but this cellophane
thing is just Bubba, not Tigger. Bubba is slightly neurotic, and seems to
like to chew on things in general, from love bites to eating too much... I
think the cat just has a mouth fixation. Cellophane sounds kind of crinkly,
and there is an itty bitty little snap when he punctures it with his
teeth... I think he likes it for the same reason people like to poke bubble
wrap. My other theory is that maybe it cleans his teeth??? He seems to chew
a lot, but doesn't eat it. More like shredding it, especially with his rear
teeth. So, anyway, those are just my theories. I dunno for sure.
Tigger could care less for it.

Tigger could care less for it.
cats are just weird.
I wonder if they think that about us? ;)
definitely.
I was playing piano tonight. Martha kept trying to get my attention
by practially climbing my shoulder. She was very upset. Yowling.
(sorry girl, I haven't played in a long time)
Taz just sat up there and looked down at my hands. He's fascinated by
things.

Cats are normal, it's their humans that are weird. We're too stupid to
understand them.

A year is all I think I can take.
I found my kitten starving, freezing and sick under a big tree over a
year ago.
I have given her absolutely everything and I treat her like a
daughter.
In the past two months she has broken keepsakes, trying to get to
places she shouldn't be.
Broken electronics, being on things she shouldn't be on.
Almost managed to get us evicted by being where she shouldn't have
been.
And ruined food that was intended for the stupid humans who live here,
who never thought they had to cover food on the damn dinner table when
they step away for TWO SECONDS before the meal!
Today, she managed to destroy TWO brand new dvds by jumping onto
something she wasn't ever supposed to jump on.
Is this teenage-hood for cats? Time to push all the buttons and
boundaries?
argh.
I am so glad I don't have kids.
I'd be in jail for manslaughter.
I am so freaking ***** at her right now ... I honestly wouldn't
give a ***** if anyone wanted her.
Take her now.
I'm over it.

Heh, I can see you've never heard of 'catproofing' your house!!!
Is catproofing even possible??? well, I guess so. I did, after all,
put all myt breakables into the display case instead of on top of
furniture. And I haven't done any PC or beadwork since they were more
mobile. Today, I introduced them to the piano (which I haven't played
in at least 3 years). They were fascinated.
As she gets older, she'll be less active... But still, it will need
maintenance and attention, and you'll just have to learn things you can and
can't do with it around.
Timmy likes butter. We've learned not to leave any butter on the
counter. Ever since we found an interesting depression in it and
suddenly realized it was from Timmy's licking it.
I used to have a kitty years ago that liked butter too. And
vegetables much to my surprise!
As for kat proofing, since she's been here her whole little life,
we've already been through the cat proofing... and then re-catproofing
as she slowly grew up and started finding the things we didn't notice
at first.
You know how that goes. Everything SEEMS fine but then one day she
suddenly notices something... like the microphone hanging off the top
of my monitor. And then it's "HEY! I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE!" and
she's off!
She knows where she's allowed and not allowed. She knows what's
acceptable and what's not and it's just time to push all the
boundaries , I suspect just because she's bored.

I dont know how to train a cat. But, how would you feel if you came home to
find, your dog ate the $400 sofa ( and the woodwork, and the reclining
chair )? And to top it all off, he passed away 2 years and 2 days ago from
old age, and I still miss him dearly, even though I got a new dog who only
eats dog food.
He never used to do stuff like that until my wife left. I wish he was still
here; I would give him the rest of the sofa to eat LOL

Exactly. Just upset about being upset really. I love my pets. they
are my family.
It's hard because we are basically hiding here with them. The
building wasn't 'no pets' when we arrived but it became so all of a
sudden about 6 months after. No notice, just signs on the doors.
So we took them down and just pretended we didn't see them.

Yes, given her approximate age, your cat's in her adolescence.
And yes, I'd love to adopt her. My 6-year-old British shorthair Bijou
would love to have another feline pal.
Particularly since my 5-year-old Japanese bobtail Christian walked out
the back door two months ago and never returned. He'd been sick for some
time, and the vet couldn't find the problem. For months he was slowly
winding down like an old clock--sleeping more and more, eating less,
losing weight bit by bit. Finally, one morning, he went outside,
apparently found a place to lie down, closed his eyes for the last time,
and fell asleep forever in the grass and clover with the sun shining on him.
This was almost four years after I found my 2-1/2-year-old Manx Simba
lying dead at the side of the road in front of my house, his face
covered with blood, his frozen mouth agape and eyes wide open in shock
and agony. I had the grim chore of burying him in the garden in the back
yard, where he loved to nap and sun himself and enjoy the scent of the
dill weed planted there. I still plant dill weed in that patch, but I
never harvest it anymore--it's for Simba.
So I'll take that pesky old cat off your poor beleaguered hands any time
you want.

This sounds familiar. My boyfriend brought home a kitten he'd found on the
side of the road, next to another cat (mom, perhaps?) who'd been hit by a
car.
For weeks, the kitten hid from us, he was so scared. But now he owns the
house. He tears down the curtains, rips up the toilet paper and paper
towels, throws up on the floor, drags "toys" out from our spare bedroom,
knocks things off the tables and counter tops, knocks over picture frames,
hides all my lighters (5 and counting), attacks my feet each night while I'm
in bed trying to sleep, insists on sleeping with us even when we're tired
and want him off the bed, and generally wreaks havoc playing with my cat
(who, by the way, thinks he himself is still a kitten). The two kitties
feed off each other's bad habits.
Not to mention the costs involved--twice as much food and cat litter, and of
course, buying new curtain rods because the curtains have been pulled down
so often that the rods bent and finally snapped in half.
Anybody want *two* kittens?

course, buying new curtain rods because the curtains have been pulled down
so often that the rods bent and finally snapped in half.
Anybody want *two* kittens?
I'll take 'em. I don't get upset with kittens or cats for acting like
kittens or cats. Those who do should do both themselves and their
felines a favor and find another home for them.

You make a lifetime (at least the cat's) committment when you bring it in to
your home.
Training, yes it's possible. It took me forever but my cat uses the toilet,
although she's part siamese and they seem to be generally pretty smart cats.

A year is all I think I can take.
I found my kitten starving, freezing and sick under a big tree over a
year ago.
I have given her absolutely everything and I treat her like a
daughter.
In the past two months she has broken keepsakes, trying to get to
places she shouldn't be.
Broken electronics, being on things she shouldn't be on.
Almost managed to get us evicted by being where she shouldn't have
been.
And ruined food that was intended for the stupid humans who live here,
who never thought they had to cover food on the damn dinner table when
they step away for TWO SECONDS before the meal!
Today, she managed to destroy TWO brand new dvds by jumping onto
something she wasn't ever supposed to jump on.
Is this teenage-hood for cats? Time to push all the buttons and
boundaries?
argh.
I am so glad I don't have kids.
I'd be in jail for manslaughter.
I am so freaking ***** at her right now ... I honestly wouldn't
give a ***** if anyone wanted her.
Take her now.
I'm over it.

feeling crappy cause she's fighting with her cat.

It totally depends on the cat. I have another two that are "mine" but live
with my mother. One is a big fat lazy calico, not clever...I've only trained
her to drop and roll over when you pet her - took a lot of knocking her over
as a kitten. The other is a rather aloof tabby, she's personable at times
but also a damned independent cat.
The tiny one though, she talks too much, she's too energetic, too smart and
eats too many of my houseplants. The houseplant thing is a manifestation of
the "neurotic" traits that I've seen in other siamese cats (aunt's used to
lick cotten t-shirts when you held her.)

I've taught my kitty to 'sit' and get 'up' and we started on couple other
tricks, but then I neglected them.
Started her on the toilet thing too, she did well, as if she had read the
instructions, then I goofed it up. I think Tigger is probably smarter than
me ;)
