What sort of people are they?

Hello. :) :)

We're a 'we' not a 'they' thank you!

Human people?

Care to join my club, artisan? :hihi:

It intrigues me why some one would want such a brutal animal as a pet.
When they are fluffy kittens, fair enough. But when they grow up and start dragging birds from their nests etc. they are hardly lovable are they?

Its not the brutality....its the arrogance.

***waves***

Mostly murderers, a few of them are rapists and a few are knicker sniffers:)

intrigues me also as to why some parents love their off spring even tho they are quite obviously dickwads :hihi: :hihi:

Heyup artisan............did you lose the game of Patience you were playing then?....:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

And when they look at you, they are probably thinking 'if I was big enough mate, I would grab you with my claws and eat you'. I can't see the point of these utterly selfish, troublesome beasts. You can't even take them for walks.

Posting as I am with one furry behind my neck and one between my ankles in my recliner- I'm pretty sure that mine are snuggly and lovable. I have 4 cats- and none of mine hunt. They're purely decorative.

Why LordC, Yet another topic we agree on!

Actually- my last post is a lie. They don't hunt for mice, but they do occasionally catch spiders, butterflies, moths, woodlice, flies and, yelping as they do it, wasps. Oh, and last week I had to make my big daft tom cat let go of the spaniel he took exception to.

Wrong LC, you can take them for walks.

I did just that a couple of nights ago with one of ours. She walked at the side of my legs (to heel as you would say) like a well trained dog, and did a full circuit of the cul-de-sac we live on.........:)

The added bonus was she didn't dump on anyone's garden, the pavement or the verge.:thumbsup:

I want a tiger:)

The good news is that those of you who don't like cats, don't have to have one. That's that cleared up then.

The cat - human relationship is quite a strange on, but has existed for thousands of years. Obviously quite a fair few people think that cats are pretty cool. I know I do. :)

Freecell, patience is for wimps :D

I was talking the man's game......with cards.......:hihi:

When I was a young un I used to take our cat for a walk....or rather a swing :hihi:

Well, as much as I despise the flea ridden, worthless little creatures, I have to confess that I was born in the year of the Tiger. I would be more than happy for you to take me walkies, providing you don't mind being eaten. Apart from that, I'm certainly not selfish and I'm no trouble really..........:hihi: :hihi:

S'pose I'd better stand up and be counted. *Waves placard about in a chic and nonchalent fashion.* :cool:

As 'mom' to two ex-mistreated cats who each chose to move in with me, I think the question is less what sort of person chooses cats, rather what sort of people do cats choose? I certainly appreciate the calibre of people in the SF cat gang. Cheers to you all. Down with felistinism! :D

I may be totally wrong.........:rolleyes:

I am honoured to be owned by 3 beautiful moggies whom i love greatly and at feeding time they love me just as much :hihi: :love:

Well, cats have always graced The Towers, and will always do so.

Working hard to avoid the usual 'cats kill wildlife, are arrogant, etc.' arguments I would say that cat owners are sort of...well....normal people.

Looking at fictional cat lovers....we have the assasin in Graham Green's 'This Gun For Hire' who pistol whipped someone who teased his pet cat. We have Ernst Stavros Blofeld, cat lover and Bond super-villain extraordinaire - enough said. Chief Miles O'Brien, Star Trek Deep Space Nine's cheif engineer and all round good egg. Staying with Trek - Lieutenant Commander Data - an android trying to be human and sharing his quarters with Spot the cat.

Muriel Spark was a cat lover, and I'm convinced that Truman Capote MUST love cats - at the end of 'Breakfast at Tiffanys' 'Cat' ends up with a nice warm home; he treated 'Cat' better than a lot of his human characters!

We aelurophiles are nice folks, honestly...except for the odd super criminal and psychopath... :)

A colleague at work has recently set up home with a new belle who is a cat owner. Since moving in with her he comes to work coughing and sniffing. I once asked him if he'd been smoking the night before because he sounded just like someone who'd smoked a whole packet.

But no, unfortunately he is allergic to the cats.

I offered him use of my Mum's Greyhounds as a cast iron cure to rid him of his allergy but he turned the offer down as this would also be a cast iron way of relieving him of his new love.

Mostly murderers, a few of them are rapists and a few are knicker sniffers:)

Tell him to get some one-a-day antihistamines. Ceterizine dihydrochloride from Tesco; less than a pound a packet. Problem sorted :thumbsup: .

I have two cats - Merlin and Jesse. Both are beautiful, intelligent and graceful creatures. The people who share their homes with cats are likewise :) .

IMO Cats show no loyalty whatsoever, they wonder in and out at will and just lead an independant life. Some cats have more than one owner household due to their unloyal nature, they hardly compare to the unquenchable need for love exhibited by any dog

Our cat lets us live with her!

It's not so much a problem in the UK - but cat owners who leave them indoors for their entire lives like some of the Yanks do, not sure what it says about 'em but that's like putting a kid in a kennel.

Cats are unnatural as it is and when allowed out they decimate innocent animals but keeping them indoors because they might get run over or ripped apart by a mink? unstable springs to mind.

Personally i think it's more to do with the fact that they know their cat doesn't love 'em and will go to any house to get it's food so they torture a cat by not giving it a little bit of freedom to prove them wrong, as they always do.

Why do all the local cats dump in my garden ?

Probably because you don't have one so it's no-man's-land.

A classic. I'll say no more lest I incriminate myself. Cats do always smell fresh though, don't they?

biggest load of crap ive read in this thread so far :loopy:

i think to say cats are wholly disloyal, and are only 'in it' for the food and shelter, is a load of nonsense.

yes, the affection they show can be self-serving, and they are more interested in their own agenda most of the time...which appears to involve sleeping, and maiming small animals.

but they definately show their 'owners' affection which isn't solely motivated by the immediate need for food...my cat basil will stuff his face, waddle about outside for a bit and then sprawl his rather considerable mass over my lap.

ill keep shifting him off, but he'll keep wanting to be matey and hang out. if fact, as i type he is layed out on the cushion next to me, dribbling away quite happily.

i dont want to turn this into a dog/cat debate, because it's obvious who's won it. so naff off dog-nobs, cats are fnckin groovy. end of.

Cats are fantastic pets,I had two up until I moved in the mid 90's but couldnt take them where I was going so had too give them up.Very clean living appreciative animals,And your not falling over their mess in the street.I have since moved again and would have one without a shadow of a doubt if I didnt live on a busy road.Dont knock it till you've tried it thats all I can say..:)

Whatever, people who keep their cats indoors are guilty of cruelty.

Of course, most of it was based on fact as well. Not that feline fans would have it that their cutesy wootsey ickle cat didn't actually like being kept indoors 24 hours a day. That doesn't happen in the UK, hopefully.

Kids in kennels English Glory? Me like - very much. Best idea on this thread so far.

I have a cat as a pet, hes a vile, smelly, incestuous monster who would kill anything smaller than him in a heartbeat, he only pretends to be affectionate if theres a chance of a feed and he delights in crapping only on the most valuable plants in my garden, he sprays his vile smelling scent onto my pond which kills the fish, he drives my neighbours dogs into a state of insanity and when hes not doing all these things, he spends his time asleep on the bed.
I`m jealous as hell of him. The little turdlings got it made!

The little turdlings !

:hihi: :hihi: that just had me in fits of giggles , its absolutly brilliant , ive got to pinch it my brain is buzzing with so many people that just sooooo fit that discription :D

Youre more than welcome to nick it, I`m giving serious thought to naming the cat Turdling.:D

well my son had a friend called Turd he even did him a tattoo of a reaper with headstone saying RIP turd on it, Turdling is actually quite cute really.
can you post a piccy of your cat so we can see if the name will suit him :D

I`m not sure how to post pics on here, but there are several pics of the filthy wretch on my blog and I think there are a few on my journal too. Be warned though, He`s far from pretty.

Ok, I added a pic of the stinking little maggot onto my journal so you dont have to hunt through all the tons of rubbish in my blogs and stuff.
The pic is of him showing his love for my by trying to strip the flesh from one of my feet.

Is he black and white? I can't quite make him out; the photo's a bit dark and I can't get the bigger pic to load (due to the Javascript settings on my computer, I think).

He looks a bit like my Jesse (http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/ppn_2204/?action=view&current=jesse2.jpg), who's also psychotic.

He does look similar To jesse, and he is black and white. Youre lucky that your comp refuses to enlarge the pic because he`s ugly enough for any anti virus prog on a comp to be triggered off. Ill try to find a lighter pic...

Ok, I added another pic. I also saw a link thing so this is an experiment...

We could start a Sheffield Forum 'Kitten War' group! :clap:

He is not ugly! He's lovely (though he does have that slightly off-kilter gleam in his eyes that suggests he's undecided whether to purr or rip your face off :) .)

Ohhh trust me, he`ll go for the face.
My face at least, but then I have the kind of fizzog that cats and women love to slap.

That is why it is a growing area, it is quicker to buy a house and bring up a family than it is to get through the lights!! :hihi:

Kitties are the finest of pets. Cuddles, play and further cuddles. They also serve as a nearly infallible evil detector in humans. People that hate cats are always, always, evil :)

I agree, cats are beautiful pets! I recieve a lot of love from my cat, and I get great pleasure from watching him purr while I tickle his chin :)

Can you believe he had a moan about cats killing birds?? It's nature FFS!! :loopy:

Cats killing birds is not nature. That's why so many tweety birds are in decline. If it was natural nature would be keeping the numbers up.

Cats are like mink - totally alien to the surroundings and they are responsible to driving birds to extinction... or at least extinction in Britain anyway.

There were cats of all sizes in the British Isles and Europe long before humans came along, they became extinct shortly before the last ice age. WE are more alien to this country than cats are. And I bet we kill more wildlife than any moggy.

English Glory,...get a life, why don't you?.......:)

The hedgerows have disappeared in a swarth of massive corporate farms, private gardens are covered in decking, flagstones and cobble.....

Cats are easy to blame......look elsewhere for the demise of the birds....:thumbsup:

I think people who have cats must have really boring, uninteresting gardens.
If they dont, then can they explain why their moggies spend all their time in mine? I dont mind the cats its the sick and shoit that irritates me. :gag:

Surprise. :rolleyes: Shoeshine you are spot on.

Anyway, round my parts the only wildlife to torture are pigeons. Any complaints? Didn't think so.

The trouble with our household we are too soft with them.
Bowl of cold water from the water butt next time. (I dont think) :D

I am old enough to remember the sound of Skylarks in the fields of summer, the flutter and sight of Green Linnets in the woods, Sparrowhawks in the sky hovering over a field, then plunging for a meal in the field.....

It ain't the cats that have destroyed them........

Ah, the memories....what a shame for this generation of people....:|

I remember as a kid sitting in the cornfield that was at the side of Adlington Road listening to skylarks. A brilliant childhood memory.

Given cats are responsible for killing 55 million songbirds a year, for fun, of course that isn't having a neglible (sp) effect.

What's the difference between a cat owner and a fox hunt? about 54.9million innocent deaths.

Given those that actually rely on birds for survival, like the sparrowhawk, only kill twice as many as cats on average, it's telling the devastation caused.

I think you should think about the amount of people who are murdered for fun, by other people. Rapists, peodophiles, people who have sex with animals, and generally other sick people. Cats killing a few birds is hardly a big problem is it? Besides, what can we do about it? IT'S NATURE

Besides, what can we do about it? IT'S NATURE
Time for another cold bath, methinks.:hihi:

What can be done about it?

Cats don't come within 20 metres where i live 'cos they get the sonic equivalent of an Elton John concert.

As for those few songbirds that are killed, all 55 million yearly inc endangered species to Britain, then there should be a question what should be done.

I believe cat owners only change nature when it suits them... like shoving their cats face in it's own crap proudly produced on the new Carpet Right carpet purchased only weeks earlier. The cat soon decides to wait until going outside.

Maybe cat owners could leave the carcass of one of the several songbirds killed out, when it gets infected with maggots and riddled with flies remind the cat (and themselves) of the horrendous devastation they are doing to the natural environment. Certainly a maggot strewn 'toy' won't be pleasant for cat nor owner.

round here there's a bit of a rat problem:- my cat is an excellent hunter, so I get lots of "naice" ;) surprises waiting for me on my doorstep in a morning (aww, bless) he gets pigeons, rats, mice... fantastic!

Nope, not one iota of complaint, he's ridding the area of vermin. not got a problem with that, In fact I'm quite proud of him, and his wonderful hunting capabilities, in a "squicky" 'Oh, boy! What have you caught for me today" kind of way!

I have also read that in certain parts of southern Europe that song birds are considered a delicacy, along with swallows and swifts etc.
Apparantly they put up massive nets to catch them in their migrations.
When this was being done as a cottage industry, it probably made no difference, but as with everything it is now done on an industrial scale :(

I think your reading a little too much into this, Somehow, I don't think you will change anyones feelings towards cats. I will always be happy for my cat to kill birds, Good on him :)

Maybe you should start a campaign or something, to try and stop the "horrendous devastation"...You see how you can change nature. I'm sure you will do really well! :thumbsup:

Try and train them to do some useful killing, pigeons and starlings for example.
They only go after the birds everyone loves, that is why they have a bad name among animal lovers. :(

Cats are pretty intelligent, I hope they dont think of this, because if they do the 55 million million million birds that are killed each second by murderous, alien cats from hell are going to seem like a drop in the ocean. At least itll be quiet in the mornings, the damn things with their pointless tweeting drive me nuts.

I hate cats......have I said that already? Mind you, I do love a little pussy.....er Bath Time Again!:hihi:

I was arguing with some of my mates about cats, just the other day.
Im with the OP, they are horrible and disgusting creatures. When presenting my arguement to my mates, they said...

"the egyptians worshiped cats, thy were smart, they built the pyramids."

My reply was...

"hows that smart, they wasted years building huge graves for dead people."


They were stumped.

Ahhh, just remembered a good point of owning a cat.

They kill goblins, as seen in Steven Kings - Cats eyes.

They were stumped.

But as one of Britain's greatest economists pointed out, pyramid building was a very sensible economic policy, in that it created work for a substantial percentage of the population and then the multiplier effect provided work for most of the rest. Digging huge holes and filling them in again is also eminently sensible for the same reason. I agree with you totally about cats though.

The cat haters out there are quite right! Along with killing 55 trillion birds per second, invading Poland in 1939, and spreading the black death through Europe, cats have had a detrimental effect on the world for decades. For example:
Osama Bin Tiddles here wants nothing more than to bring down Western civillization.

So I have to agree with the cat haters, but hope isnt completely lost! Cats dont always get it their own way.

Cats are intelligent because they managed to get humans to care for them and treat them like fluffy sweet little cuddly babies in spite of them being selfish thieving fur-bearing killing machines. And I`ve seen far more humans squashed in the middle of roads than cats.
