Re: any of you ever tried..

any of you ever tried..
 

to tell a cat "i'm a human, your a cat, that put's me in charge?"

Re: any of you ever tried..

Re: any of you ever tried..

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

Cats are overrated.

The Last time I did that the cat in question jumped up on the table and right through a game of PanzerBlitz we had been playing.

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

Tell that to a dog...
He'd roll his eyes and say...

Cat just don't care...

P.s. i am a cat person.

Dogs are really great. They would be even better if you could train them to use a litter box and give themselves baths. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Cats are smarter than dogs.
But dogs do tricks and cats don't!
Exactly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

i respect my cat too much to say that. me and cat, well, i dont count her too much a pet as a family member. call me wierd if you feel like it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

Dogs do tricks because they're smart enough to do them
Cats dont because they're smart enough to realize they can simply NOT do it.

There had been a research. A cat learns a new trick in less than 5 minutes. It just doesnt want to use it. And yes, its verified, they used the neurons in brain to track the learning progress.

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

well, she learned not only to keep her little toys from sliding under the stove and fridge, but to look under there for new and lost ones. that's abstract thinking, isn't it?

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

I have taught more than one cat to play fetch. All of them will do it
when they want to.
A dog does it because it wants to please you.

Dogs think of you as the pack leader.
Cats think of you as their mother.

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

When I lived with my parents we had 2 cats. Now I live with my girlfriend and we have a rabbit named Snuff.

He is utterly fearless, perpetually active, impervious to discipline, unreasonably cute and quite the most destructive pet I could ever have imagined. I guess it's my own fault for naming him after a punk band...

Everything that he can reach is a target for chewing and/ or digging activity: wires, furniture, rugs, walls, shoes, people, laundry, paperwork, curtains, laptops, doors, houseplants (especially the houseplants), mobile phones... He's only about 9 inches tall when he stands upright so you'd think you could just put stuff out of reach, except now he's big enough to jump and/or climb onto just about any surface in my home. I swear he runs up walls when we're not looking like some kind of lop-eared spiderman. Oh, and he's nowhere near his full size and destructive capacity yet, being only 4 months old.

And I haven't even mentioned the little poo-pellets I keep finding on the floor, in the bed, under the sofa-cushions, in my laptop, in my trouser pockets (how..?), in my filing cabinet and just about anywhere else. Still, it's good fertiliser for what's left of the houseplants.

If anyone's interested I'll post some pictures later.

So I've decided the pet I really want is one of those Sony robot-dog things. Clean, obedient and cute. Perfect. Shame they cost about 1500 quid. Maybe I could get the rabbit chrome-plated...

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

Not meaning to offend you cat lovers... but...

Invite a cat into your life.

Especially if you want to introduce yet another openly defiant creature that has no sense whatsoever as to the order of things... Ingracious and ornery. Your home is the one place you should at least try and introduce some hint of functional order. If you are comfortable taking orders from a cat, by all means, get one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I mean... the nerve... the cat I grew up with was satan incarnate. It would tolerate you petting it... get bored... and maul you on a whim. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Yep, that's great! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif When a dog does that, you put it to sleep. Cats are great around babies too- NOT.

Just saying I'm not a cat person. I'm highly allergic to them anyway, so that doesn't help. I have actually met some very excellent cats, but they are quite rare.

Interesting too- undomesticated cats model the behavior of lions. Male cats will slaughter the entire litters of foreign cats when detected and "conquer" the females. Not the cute little kitty at all...

Not that cats have all bad qualities... I'm sure they are delicious. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

OK, sorry to turn this into a "here are some pictures of my pet" thread, but here are some pictures of my pet: http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/images/SNUFFMUNCH.jpg http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/images/SNUFFUP.jpg

Now how cute is that? Wouldn't you forgive him for eating your best boots then taking a dump on the remains? I have to. Regularly.

FEAR THE RABBIT!

Re: any of you ever tried..
 

I'm sure you all remember ALFS quote,
"Cats, I love em, espcialy stir fried"

I can remember back to when I was about 7. We had cats and rabbits. The cats would chase the rabits. The rabbits would take off straight across the the tile floor.
The cats would follow.
The rabbits would dodge left just befor the wall, the cats would go screeeching straight into the wall, Thunk!
Stupid cats.
