Your cats are neurotic and dreaming up ways to kill you

OFF TOPIC

I'm a cat person, I guess. My whole life either I or my family have had cats, with the exception of about 5 years when we moved around the country.

I totally believe this

Cats ARE neurotic and they're also trying to work out how to kill you, say researchers* | Daily Mail Online

Well this sounds true i have to admit but i would also have to disagree with this. The cats are not neurotic and i think that this pet is not for everyone. It is really simple if you actually think that cats are neurotic creatures trying to kill you then you are a dog person. Get yourself a dog and enjoy happy times with it. Now when you have a cat you don't have to clean after her , except when she brakes your TV - because she loves you!! Cats are exactly the same as women you can not understand them , they are always trying to kill you , but if you give them love then and only then they will connect with you. Being loved by a cat is really special just for that reason they don't love anybody - nobody.
And you have to earn/work for their love!!

Thanks

I always have cats but I also have at least one dog so I'm never known as the "crazy cat lady"

It may be impossible not to love dogs. After all they love us, unconditionally.

But I love cats. They don't need us, like dogs. They may ignore us (which I find hilarious), demand we feed them, take a swat at us.......

Small furry creatures that are large enough to play with, but too small to kill us. To me, nothing is funnier than a crazy cat, burning off energy.

And trying to figure out what's going on, behind that blank stare..is fascinating.

What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

It showed up a couple of nights, and never came back.

But that stupid black cat behind the store is there every day now. He has conned me into buying cat food, and feeding him every day. I can stand or sit right next to him now, even while he eats.

But he still has no idea what petting is, and I can't get him to take food from my hand. I assume he is still thinking of me as a competitor for the food I give him.
If he let me pet him once, he'd have me, body and soul.

By the way, I see all mammals as just simpler versions of us. So to me, a cat is just a kid that can't talk, and has an inflated self image...and I love them for that.

You must stop looking in that mirror, Claude.

Btw, on the subject of cats . . .

HOW TO WASH A CAT

1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. At this point the cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet – the cat is actually enjoying this!

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power-wash” and “rinse.”

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand well back, behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean.

Yours sincerely,
The Dog

If alla the animals got zapped an' forgot who they were, I figure the cats could play at bein' dogs better'n the dogs could play at bein' cats.

Not sure how this logic extends to giraffes an' bushbabies but that's ok 'cos the likelihood of a mass animal zappo is very small.

Then this cat is really trying to kill this dog, but, as Claude pointed out it's too small to be destructive:
