thinking bout getting a cat

me too! But I like pets... Keep you company when the fam is out and your working on the computer...

 

It's true

 

Your cat is a weirdo

 

my cat used to leave the house, get a rat and leave it's head on my doorstep....

Kinda miss having pets.

 

You guys are making me miss my little kitty. I got a bengal and she is crazy as shit but loyal and will only sleep next to me.

 

Cool, how many did you have to go thru to get 2 to do this and how long do the other(s) have to catch on before swapping them out for ones that can?

 

Actually when one picked it up and started getting praised the other one went into "me too" mode and now they both try to show it off when they can. My other two cats still use litter box, but i think they will eventually get there - just need to gradually lift the litter box so they don't afraid to poop high up from the floor .

 

Cats are nasty. A big dog is the way to go. I have two Akitas and they are amazing. Get dog doors and you can leave food out if its an overnight. But I agree with the others ALL pets need attention. If you want something you can blow off consider a girl friend. She won't die if you don't feed her. And BTW if you get a pet and give it to a shelter I will personally....

 

why are cats nasty? My dog goes into my cat's litter box and eats cat shit. I think thats pretty nasty

 

Good thing the dog doesn't roll in it.

 

That is nasty I agree. My dogs would just eat the cats not its shit. Cats smell nasty and rub their ass all over everything. And a litter box is not something I will have inside my house. An outdoor cat is not an option where I live, they don't last longer than a week.

 

I guess it depends on the animals living environment. My cat is an indoor cat and it doesn't smell at all, nor does it rub its ass anywhere lol..maybe other cats do, but the two i've had never have done that. In fact our dog smells worse, but he goes outside. Regarding the cat litter box in the house is an easy fix if you have a garage. I spent maybe $15 and a half hour installing a pet door into the garage so the litter box stays out there. Took the cat about a week to realize that she could go in and out. They definitely aren't as smart as dogs when it comes to the ability to learn, that's for sure

 

Why do I even bother buying cat beds....lol

 

I am in total agreement about the pet doors, I have two of the largest made for my Akitas, and my former Saint Bernard. They cost about $180 a piece but last quite well. (7 years so far) As far as a cat goes with Akitas its a no go.... Akitas hunt anything that moves and the cat would be a goner in no time.

 

Our 2 dogs love to eat cat shit and they smell worse than cat shit, especially right after a bath (oddly enough) My 4 cats smell just fine and groom themselves better than I do.

Cats for clean and cool, dogs for smelly and goofy.

 

I guess I am just a rotten dog lover and had better just leave this thread before I get in trouble!

 

ah cute dogs..I love akitas...what happened the the ones foot on the right?

 

Ah, I love them all. My 100 lb. Rottie is my baby.
