Name him after a caver...BadCat?  Johnny?  Doc?   

It's male.  And it does not have a name.
Not neutered yet.

Uh....not quite.

Males cats that are unneutered (and even some that are) tend to mark their territory by pissing.

And there is NOTHING in this world that stinks worse than cat piss. I had one piss in my shoes one day. I had to throw the damn things out.

I ain't gonna say what happened to the damned cat.   :yum:

I think it's gone crazy again.  Loud meowing, running around, and it figured out it can meow and paw at my door at 4am when I'm sleeping.

He wants to sleep with you!

Just let him, he will go to bed when you do, and stay quiet all night. Otherwise, he's just going to make it his mission in life to wake you up!
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

He doesn't "sleep".  He runs around and scratches at everything while I'm trying to sleep.  And the last time I let him in my bedroom, he messed up my sheets.

If he's scratching at your sheets, he probably wants under the covers. He may want to sleep under them, but most likely just wants to check things out. Ours only sleep under the covers when it's really cold.

Thought you said he "messed" on the sheets when you turned on the vacuum cleaner? You scared him! That's different from deliberately peeing on the bed. If he slept there, you wouldn't have to worry about him peeing there.

Lazy beast.

Yes, that seat is covered in cat hair.  No, I don't really care.

I can't share my room with this thing.  He irritates the **** out of me.

I leave the light on in the kitchen so he can wander around at night.  But the light also keeps me awake.  And him.  So he's constantly in and out of my room until I've finally had enough and kick him out. 

He's realized he can wake me up at 5am by scratching at the door and screaming.  I guess that will have to do.

Why do you leave the light on in the kitchen?

Surely you're aware cats can see in the dark.

Should we tell him that the reason their whiskers are so long is so they know if their bodies will fit through whatever they are trying to get into?   :-)

Trust me; he can see in the dark.

You don't have to worry about it, unless you happen to stumble over him in the dark.

But cats generally know enough to stay out of the way of people trying to get around in the dark.

Oreo's pretty good about that, but being black-and-white, chances are I can actually see where she is in the dark (as long as she's within 10 feet).

I figured he needed a *little* light.  It gets very dark in my apartment.

I'll give it a shot tonight and see what happens.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
