| Blue | You could try downloading catz from www.petz.com. If you cant look after a computer kitty you can forget about buying a real one.. (cheap way to get program is on edonkey) | |

I have 2 cats with me right now. I would have three, but I had to put one to sleep in October. Her name was Snowball. She had feline leuckimeia and got cancer   And Kiki, my first cat, she got cancer too. Nermal is one of my current cats. He is such a crazy ass. Once, he brought a fuckin' RABBIT in the house in his mouth! LOLOLOLOLOL!! It was kind of sad, because the rabbit kept crying out. It was really young, too. One time, Simba, my other cat, he climbed up the Christmas tree last year!  LOL! IT WAS SO FUNNY! Also, Simba climbed up a HUGE tree, and he was cryin' and cryin' and cryin'..... but then, NERMAL TO THE RESCUE! Nermal climbed the tree and showed Simba how to climb down. So you know, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DECLAW OR HIT YOUR CAT! My garndparents have a cat named Bootsie, and she was a fairly nice cat, and she got declawed, and now she hates everything that moves toward her. Sometimes she's very nice, though. If you hit your cat, you will most likely, have a sad cat, and a hurt cat, that cat will feel betrayed, ya know what I mean? I never, ever EVER hit my cats. EVER! My two cats are the nicest all around. (To me, anyway.  ) By the way, what's this about an "old ass lady?" Man, if they gave the cats their darn vaccines, maybe it wouldn't HAVE pink eye. Tell me the whole story about this "Petsmart's miserable old bitch" it sounds interesting. How old are you, anyway,MisSFiT? Just curious. P.S. Glowbelly, you are EXCELLENT with cats! Hell, you might be better than me with the cute furry guys....the closest I'VE been to hitting my babies is a nose tap as well....but hey. Glowbelly, my point is, you know a LOT about kitties! YOU ROCK!

my roommate threw away his cat's scratching post because it absolutely would not use anything other than the couch. it also likes eating plastic (trash liners, grocery bags, or whatever it can get its paws on) and throwing up all over the place. it is offically the dumbest cat i know. :/  THE FUZZY FACE OF EVIL |

| Supafly345 | Yelling at them in an angry voice works too. If you are normally a kind owner, an angry voice really lets them know that they did something wrong. Remember, it is just the voice. You could be saying "banana bulbs into lefted hand size cracker money" and they will still learn a lesson. | |

or the white pack wrigley's gum, whatever that flavor of mint is called. blue: remove yourself from this earth immediately. you don't "belt" cats. the closest i come to hitting my kitties is to tap them on the nose when they are doing something bad. a loud hissing noise or clap usually sends them flying...and there's always the option of spraying them with a water bottle or gun. they hate that. |

| Jeanette X | Try honeysuckle toys then. Some cats who won't respond to catnip go crazy for honeysuckle. | |
| Jan 1st, 2004 09:33 AM | ||
| ProfessorCool | Tried it, none of them respond to it. The only thing they do go crazy for is Tuna, even when i say the word tuna they rush to the kitchen. | |

| Blue | IF you can get a cat that was raised somewhere rural.. They normally arent a lap cat but they are very independant and can feed themsleves real well.. Dont declaw your cat just belt it if you catch it scratching shit. They need to be able to fuck up other cats if they end up in a tight spot and if they have no claws they cant do that.. Make sure you buy a bitch too.. Toms are temperemental and lazy as hell once you desex them . | |

We have 3 Cats Booze: found licking rum in my my aunt's glass. Rio: Adopted, 2 years old. Cat: Found, we could never figure out a name, so we just call it Cat. He responds to it. Booze and Rio is declawed, all of them are Neutred by their previous owners. We feed them, give them sleeping quaters, and let them be. Rio and Booze hate toys and Cat is afraid of them. They just like lying around, right now they seem to be adpated to sleeping under the christmas tree. |

every single vet i have ever gone to has strongly recommended that i do not declaw my cats. petsmart, who obtains their kittens from local animal shelters in the area, makes you sign a contract of sorts promising that you will not declaw your kitty. it's a horrid, unnecessary surgical procedure. here's a link: http://cats.about.com/cs/declawing/a/declawing.htm do your own research. i can almost guarantee that you won't find one article stating that it's a good thing to rip your cat's claws out of it's toes. |

I was in Petsmart one time and on the cages it reads "DO NOT PUT FINGERS IN CAGES" so I did, and I got yelled at by an old ass lady, she told me "IF YOU PUT YOUR FINGER IN THESE CAGES YOU CAN TRANSFER COLDS TO THE CATS AND THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM HAS PINK EYE" I told her to shut up because she was an old miserable bitch and she just shook her head and stared at me. The moral of my story is... Don't buy cats from Petsmart because they are diseased. |

| Protoclown | My parents have had four cats over the years, three of them siamese. I love siamese cats, they tend to be a bit ornery and I think they're hilarious. All of the cats I've ever had have been declawed, and since they aren't allowed outside, that doesn't seem to be a problem for them aside from the initial soreness after the surgery. Anyway, it was never my choice but if I were to get a cat today for myself I would almost certainly get it declawed so it didn't destroy everything or scratch the fuck out of me. | |

| Jeanette X | Don't buy it from a pet store. Seriously. Pet store kittens usually come from unethical breeders and are very prone to health problems. Either get it from a shelter or from a licensed, proffesional breeder. | |

i have 2 males right now and i luuuuuurve them. here's my advice: go to the pound, or a petsmart and spend some time checking the kittens out. first find one that you think is cute, then hold it. if the kitty seems really sleepy or insanely crazy, don't pay attention to it. they have been locked in a cage for most of their little lives and they all react differently to it. what you really want to look for is a kitty that purrs when you pet it. also, one that lets you touch it's belly without scratching the fuck out of you is good. this means that they are comfortable with you and in their surroundings. a kitty's belly is their weak spot. they won't show it to you or let you touch it unless they feel comfy with you. make sure the kitten has been tested negative for fiv and feline leukemia. this is very important, especially if you ever plan on getting another cat. check it's ears and ask if the kitty has been wormed or has had any of it's shots. if you see a buttload of black stuff in it's ears, the baby has ear mites. those can be a pain in the butt to get rid of. the medicine that the vet gives the cat isn't expensive, but sometimes they just keep coming back and you find yourself constantly having to clean out the poor things ears with mineral oil. cats usually don't have worms unless they've had fleas...at least not tapeworm, as that is how most cats get tapeworm. NASTY FLEAS. kitten shots cost me around $80 total, but i go to a kind of expensive vet because i know he's good. there's usually a first round, a second round about a month later, and then they are good for a year. spay/neutering should be done around 4 to 5 months (and yes, as early as possible in males because they tend to spray). it cost me about $60, to get my one cat neutered. petsmart will give you a certificate to get it done for free, as will most animal protective leagues. DO NOT DECLAW YOUR KITTY. PLEASE. I'M BEGGING YOU. IT IS INSANELY INHUMANE AND PAINFUL AND CAN LEAD TO YOUR CAT ACTING OUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS SUCH AS BITING. i solve the problem of the cats scratching stuff by keeping their scratching limited to one area. i don't have a scratching post yet, but i have an old beat up chair. i let them scratch the shit out of that thing. if they go to scratch anything else, they get yelled at. i don't think the breed really matters. i've had many different types of cats and they've all been good animals. it's all in how you treat them. the one thing that i do know is that siamese kitties are very vocal, which can be cute or annoying, depending on how you feel about that. oh yes, and i haven't noticed anything about males being more affectionate than females. like i said, i have 2 males right now. one is extremely affectionate and one only wants to play fetch ALL THE TIME. you met the last 3 cats i had. they were all females. one was super affectionate, one was insane and one was aloof. i hope i helped some. |
