| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/20/2009 7:38:37 PM | [One thing that my cat does frequently is wake me up in the morning is miaow at me until I get out of bed to accompany him downstairs just so that he can eat his food.]
Your cat gets you to watch and gets what he wants... Your cat sounds pretty smart to me. | |

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/21/2009 12:27:30 AM | I would class myself as an animal lover and whilst I wouldn't harm a cat [nor any other animal] I don't have a great fondness for cats. I respect and admire a lot of their skills.Their speed , grace of movement and balance are astonishing. You could throw a cat out of a 5 storey building and it would land on its feet paws. I would say cats are anything but ..stupid. When my ex and I split up a few years back , she left her cat [I'm not sure why?] It was a lovely looking cat. Really big with grey / silver fur . Like Top Cat.
We never really clicked and would often just eyeball each other. It had the annoying habit of going upstairs and lying on my sons bed. When I'd find it on there snoozing , it would see me and shoot under the bed where I couldn't get at it without pulling half the bedroom out. It was a tw*t. It was nobodies fool believe me. I used to throw it out and by the time I'd got back upstairs it was lay there on the bed again . Smirking...... I couldn't get my head around it .
Then I realised it was coming through the bathroom window ! Crafty bast*rd . It was a battle of wills. I come home after a few beers one Saturday evening , my next door neighbours grandson , informed me the ' little bleeder was stuck up a tree at the back of my house. The kid was mithering me to get up and get it. I was prepared to dislodge it with a pump action water pistol. But thought it might traumatize the kid and land me in trouble with the RSPCA.
I found the fire service but was told to expect a half hour , possibly longer, delay. In the end I've thought , " I'll do it myself " . It was almost dark and extremely windy. The cat looked like it was in a precarious position and struggling to hang on to the feeble bit of branch . It was a big tree but not only that , it was right at the top on little more than twigs and leaves. I thought I'll be lucky if I can reach him here.
Baring in mind I've had a few drinks as well. Its drizzling rain at this point and blowing a gale. Whilst I'm halfway up this tree and feeling decidedly unsafe . Just as I'm about to grab it and save its life whilst risking my own. It turned and looked straight at me, whilst giving me a right dirty , dismissive sneer. Before dancing over a load of branches and down from the tree. Not only that, but I'm being supported by little more than a branch . I couldn't go up and dare not go down , as I'd likely fall 30ft or so onto the ground.
I was cursing the bast*rd cat . It had mugged me again. Fortunately for me, my neighbour come out with a ladder and got me down . So we were able to cancel the fire engine. I went to use the bathroom and popped my head in the kids room . It was only lying in the bed again . Looking smug . Grrrrr....
I started to see less and less of him and couldn't work out what he was up to . Until I seen him being let into a neighbours house , a couple of doors down. Basically it had swapped addresses and Kitty Kat jelly , for fresh tuna and cream , to lap up on a daily basis. It used to come round when the kids would call, because they would spoil him. The nerve of it ! How disloyal is that though ? That's what I despise about them .They are sly , manipulative , cunning , devious , they stink when they dump , they lead a double life. Sleep all day and out fighting and shagging all night.
In fact, cats are very much like women . They even slink / move the same way. They go wherever they get the best deal. Where as dogs are like men . A bit thick but easy to keep. Pat me on the head every now and then . Feed me up and let me snooze on the rug in front of the fire. Half an hour up the park twice day. Stretch my legs and off the leash to flirt with the biatches. That's me , happy as Larry and willing to die for you. There not called mans best friend without good reason.

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/21/2009 3:16:14 PM | Until I got my cats (about 3 years ago) I'd always considered myself a dog person but now they are very much part of the family. Constant source of amusement and they've had a sex change.
The woman I got them from had said they were both females, took them for their jabs and asked the vet to check their sex and she confirmed they were both females. Booked them in to be speyed and took them to the vets first thing that morning, the nurse could tell I was a bit anxious and she said I could ring after lunch to make sure they were ok. 12 O'clock phone rings, it's the vet, I start flapping thinking something's gone wrong she then tells me they opened one of them up and when they couldn't find it's uterus they decided it was a Tom, in fact they both were
Marilyn - white & grey, fatty catty, very aloof and lazy. Manson - black, mad as a box of frogs. He chases any light reflections from anything shiny like a mirror or cd and he fell in the toilet when he was a kitten and since then has been known as the special needs cat or spesh for short. Don't get me started about the claustrophobic dog  | |

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/21/2009 3:23:43 PM | I dont own a cat but something strange happened several months back while I was out walking my dog.
I was out walking Morgan who's my Airedale Terrier who's a bit of a rum lad to say the least. Whenever I take him out I have to keep him under tight close control, that involves keeping an watchful eye out incase other approaching male Dogs or Men for that matter, he's seen off two German Shepherds and bitten a Drunken Man, there's plenty of drunken men around the imediate area so I didnt think they would miss one of them.
Anyway while walking around a corner a cat came out of nowhere ran up behind us, suddenly Morgs turns around while the cats trying to claw him, he imediately makes a move to grab the cat, then the Cat thinks "$H!T!" bitten off more than I can chew then skarpers....I'd just about managed to keep control of Morgs because at this point he's pulling like hell to go after it whilst growling like a bear.
I was stunned... I thought either that Cat's had a serious bang on the head or its in serious denial...specially trying to do that to a large Terrier.
Though a friend has since told me one of his cats was just the same and would attack dogs..Though I have to say I wouldnt have fancied the cats chances. | |

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/21/2009 3:28:31 PM | I have a cat ~ Horace, a very spoilt 13 yr old cat, who seems to be getting slightly demented... He is a great forecaster of bad weather. Likes to have company whilst eating; uses me as a scratch post and a hot water bottle and has an addiction for ham! He meows constantly when someone comes to visit until they say 'hello Horace' then he will take his leave if and when he decides. I do think on the whole that male cats are more loving and needy that female felines. love me love my cat  | |

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/21/2009 3:31:46 PM | Cats = brilliant, I have 4, all rescues, ant and dec who are brothers, rascal a big ginger tom who someone abandoned and wee zeussy boy. I had a persian, well he was a half persian, for 12 years, his name was shadow, the most beautiful cat, never be another like him, stunning, so happy and content. He died of pancreatic cancer a year and a half ago, hung on as long as he could, he was the best bud I will ever have in my life, I miss him so much.
Someone dumped rascal in a bin shed and I found him and when he comes into bed with me at night and purrs, as I said on my profile, getting him was just the best thing I ever did. He gives me love and expects nothing back. I will love shadow until the day I die, I miss him so much. They make me laugh, they are just brilliant. | |

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 4/22/2009 12:41:19 AM | My two cats spend most of the time sleeping. Occasionally they get up to look out of the window. They sometimes go out into the garden and sit in the sunshine. When they want to be tickled they come to me.
They miaow until I feed them.
I shop and pay for their food and present the food in bowls which I have to clean regularly.
Which of us is stupid? | |

| The stupidness of cats Posted: 5/3/2009 11:38:51 AM | My cat's really FAAAAAAAAT and a bit timid. At the slightest noise, she bolts, then slips and skittles on all fours across my hardwood floor. She likes to perch on the front room windowsill, but sometimes she can't jump that high and she lands on her fat arse. It's hilarious. She loves blankets, though. You can swathe her like a baby and she'll stay in it all day. Oh, I wuv my lazy little goo-goo kitty girl  | |
