To be fair, I don't like cats very much. They are my GF's cats. They are cute, and you can't help but care for your animals, but cats are meh.

This is my BABBYYYYY


Now if someone trapped her I'd set their house on fire

I've had cats all my life and they all went outside as much as they want.

They absolutely LOVE going outside...to hunt to chase things to just be in nature...it's in their DNA...Period.

Now you can keep your cat indoors if you wish...but they will NEVER be as happy as a cat that goes outdoors.

I also understand that when my cats goes outdoors that there is a risk involved to that.

I've lost 3 cats over the years...just disappered...could be people...could be animals...I don't know...but I again understand the risk...and my cats are as happy as they could be.

Had one attacked by a coyote...lost a toe to vet amputation and most of his hair after vet shaving to fix him up.

[View Full Quote]My baby Dexter was gone for two days and I thought oh no...but he came back after something had amputated his toe.

They come in when they want...eat...sleep with me and then they want to go back outside ALWAYS...without fail...no matter what the weather...Snow rain whatever.

Sometimes I open the door and they see snow and turn around and look at me like are you crazy...it's could out there and they go lay by the fire.

But the vast majority of the time...they fly outside and play in the snow.

What you just described isn't a pet, it's a pest.

You should think about an enclosure. They can be simple and serve their purpose. You can have access to them from a window or door, then the cats can come and go as they please while still be safe (yet outside) and not an annoyance to the neighborhood.

There are a variety of kits available like this one:

Or you could build your own, as shown in a bunch of different examples from basic to extravagant here:

It's probably cheaper and less time consuming to just let your cat die and buy a new one than to get into all that! Lets be reasonable here!

I'll never be able to read your posts quite the same way now.

Far from it...Dexter just brought me dinner three nights in a row.

Night 1....Chipmunk

Night 2...Squirrel

Night 3...Hasenpfeffer

Only thing is he didn't bring me any vegetables to cook with them.

Does he have a picture of your cat pooping? If not he needs to stop whining.

I agree with JBond. Mail him a tissue for being a baby.

I think the OP's neighbor is a liar. I've never seen a cat drop a deuce on a concrete floor. It just isn't natural, unless the cat is sick. They will look for sand, dirt, or litter.

And yeah, shut your frickin garage. Who leaves their garage open? Kinda defeats the whole purpose of having one.

I'm not a cat person. I think there is something inherently wrong with cat people. If a woman owns cats, I usually won't date her. Simple as that. There is just something off about cat people. With that said, I agree with you.

I guess I better consider myself lucky that Kilyin ever wanted anything to do with me then.



Stereotypes are awesome. And by awesome, I mean completely ridiculous.
