I totally don't get the "cat thing".

Ditto.  I tolerate them.

We have 4.....they really don't know they are cats.

They come when they are called, they want to be whereever we are, they lay on us, sleep with us, each have distinct personalities.

I have a question for you other cat owners.....do any of you have cats that play with toilet paper. We have 2 that unroll them, if they can....if they can't they "fang" them and semi shred the rolls. Don't know how to get them to stop either.....


RC....I'm so sorry about your kitter-kat..... :(
Yes, turn the roll around.  They may still shred a bit, but they can spin the roll all day and it won't unravel.

Two cats infest the inside of my house, and we have one useful cat who lives outside.  The inside cats are just poop & hairball factories.  The outside cat keeps the mice out of the garage/workshop where she sleeps at night.

Can you tell I'm a dog person?

Already have done that.

If it's on the right way...they unroll it. If it's on the wrong way they shred it with their teeth, as they only have back claws...they can do a number on the TP. ::)

cats have utility other than a convenient way to spend my paycheck at the vet? (one of ours has a liver shunt, needs special food and frequent checkup due to suppressed immune system)

the other one is pretty funny.  she talks back when you talk to her.

but, utility... no.

I have a grouchy orange tabby who thinks the world revolves around him.

As opposed to other cats who don't?

I have a species confused dog.  He acts like a cat.  He started this, when he stayed over at a friend's house while I was out of town.  He now cleans himself like a cat.  Not cute.  He gives himself gargatuan hairballs, as he is 59 lbs. 

I am a dog person.  I am allergic to cats and loathe litter boxes.

If other dogs pick on him, it's a hate crime.

OK let me rephrase that...He not only thinks but demands the world revolve around him.

Saddest thing in the world is to see a Pit Bull or Rottie with a cat planted on their face.

I have had cats that would attack any dog that wandered into the yard. they would leap up attach themselves with their claws to the dogs head and ride the poor thing down.

I have seen on You Tube little house cats attacking and running off bears---funny as Hell.

We have to remember that of all species the cat has never changed its instincts.  A full grown cat is no different from the large cats in the zoo---size makes the difference.

Dogs have been breed for different instincts, some hunt, some are house pets.  Cats of any size are just all alike from the Lion to your Tabby cat.

We cannot handle a tiger in our home but we can love and be loved by a smaller cat that is thinking as the big boys do.
