I can't believe no-one has quoted The Devil's Dictionary yet...

Cat, noun: A soft, indestructible automaton provided by nature to be kicked when things go wrong in the domestic circle.

And you come off as someone who doesn't have a clue what they're talking about trying to tell someone who does that they are wrong because otherwise you'd have to admit that you were. As I said pretty much from the start, do your research, pick up a book or 2 on cats, read everything you can find on the net about cats, and then come back and tell me I'm bullshitting you.

This is the exact same sort of stuff I've been telling people, but they won't listen. The amount of people in this thread that obviously don't know the first thing about animals and cats in particular despite claiming to own them is pretty ridiculous to say the least.

Clearly the cat was upset that its owner were a bunch of morons. You can only live with inferior creatures for so long before you just snap. STAND YOUR GROUND, CAT!
Of course Fappy would side with the cat.

THIS IS WHY WE DOMESTICATED DOGS PEOPLE.

He's a traitor people, a turncoat! Don't let the fluffy menace sneak up on us before its too late! This Himalayan is just the vanguard of a much larger revolution. Stay vigilant and adopt a puppy, you'll be safer for it.

Have I not been warning you people of the coming turmoil? Of the revolution!? Sure, go cower within the safety of your dog's love now, but be prepared to abandon those lesser creatures in the wake of the true gods. Make ready your offerings of catnip, loose string and roombas, for the feline pantheon does not heed the prayers of the woefully prepared.

OUR TIME HAS COME!

Yeah, sorry, no. I get being watchful of a cat if it's in your lap and pissed off, it can go for your face and hurt you (not tear out your jugular, but scratching your eyes is a possibility) or protecting a small child from it, but if you're actually standing, no matter how pissed off the fucker is, you can just pin it down, pick it up, hold its paws and shove him into a pet carrier (guessing they have one, most people do as you need it to take them to the vet) or something.

My girlfriend has a cat, it was taken off the street when it was rather little and he can be a bit nasty for it if you piss him off, but the only way it can outmaneuver you is if it's running away. They don't actively fight bigger things, they'll just scratch/bite and run off.

I'm the one who provided research. You did not. All you've offered is your personal opinion and a lot of hyperbole.

Nevermind. I'm done talking to the "crazy cat man" (to use your own words).

he just wants to chew those f***ing cables, I believe the cause here must be some cable trauma? or perhaps some kind of deficiency that can only be fulfilled by consuming electronic equipment? Seriously though chewing cables is his thing and his tendency to be very active must have been inherited... it's that simple really.
Strazdas said:
The cause here is bad owner. If you dont know how to take care of your cat (and that is not limited to buying rubber toys) then down own one.
Enlighten me my friend, can you support that with any kind of practical experience. Had a couple of cats never had any issues with them, aside from cable chewing one, and they were all quite happy until they died.

Too bad the dogs that mauled babies didn't get the memo. Unless of course they ruin he carpet forever with baby blood.

Or the Pitbulls.
Or the Rottweilers.

Or any other violent dogs.

I'm sure if you told the parents of those dead babies, things will be all better! I mean, who can resist a tasty baby? Dip them in barbeque sauce and you got some baby back ribs right there.
oh boy, i knew i shouldve sent everyone in the forum the "im not being serious" memo, but now its too late, you brought dead babies to the table, and now nobody can stop looking at the pile of dead babies in the room

i hope you are happy twinkie
I'm pro choice, everywhere I go I leave a pile of dead babies. Not exactly new.

They're delicious though, you should try them. The dogs have the right idea.

Except in red states, I can't go there. If I do, John Mccain will make me a dead baby.

(god, this is gonna go up on escapist.txt. I just know it. I am also being facetious.)
man this reminds me of a joke

whats more awful than a dead baby?

-a pile of dead babies

whats more awful than that?

-a live baby inside the pile

whats more awful than that?

-the live baby eating its way out

whats more awful than that?

-the live baby comming back for more

I saw a picture of the cat's face today. Every article I've seen calls this cat a Himalayan and I can bet a large sum of cash that the cat is NOT a Himalayan. Ugh, it's stupid and it bugs me so much. He's just your typical black and white tuxedo moggie. Still could afford afford to lose a few though. If your domestic cat is 10 kg and not a Maine Coon or Ragdoll, your cat might be fat.

Not to a T no, but as subtle as the reason might turn out to be, there's always a reason and one can probably prepare for it. If one can find the reason they can solve the problem and fix the bad behavior, it just might take some time and work. You can predict an animal's behavior if you know enough about an animal, it's just that the reason it's doing something might not be blatantly obvious, you might have to pay close attention.
I'll quote again to highlight something I did yesterday. Animals are unpredictable, and anyone who works with animals, big or small, will tell you the same thing. It's good to listen to an animal and see what can trigger a bad behaviour and to carefully analyze a situation when something happens, but unless they can tell us specifically what's making them upset, sometimes we'll never know and it may be impossible to peg it down without days/weeks/months to look at behaviour patterns, health check-ups (as some negative behaviour like aggression can be linked to neurological problems. See "rage syndrome" in dogs, a neurological condition most frequently seen in Cocker and Springer Spaniels that trigger fits of aggression), behaviour modification procedures, and whatnot. Even then it may be difficult and expensive. And then animals have personalities, and like with us, can be fluid and inconsistent. Their fuses can be long one day and short another. Something that bugs them one day may not in another. They're like us. Anyone who says they can always anticipate an animal's reaction is going to open themselves up for surprises. Prepare what you can (from history, breed, health, current mood, etc), but always keep in your mind that there could be a curve ball that you may not have ever been able to predict for better or worse. That's what people mean by when animals are unpredictable (especially if you're dealing with an animal that doesn't give traditional warning signs, like growls).

And to respond to another post, no, cats don't have poor eyesight in the day. Sight is a very crucial sense to them, day or night. In some ways it's even better than our's, just kitty vision is more notable with being awesome at night. In general cats are very sensory with hearing, smell, sight, and touch. There's a reason why cat muzzles block the eyes.

For the record, you and everybody else on this thread didn't provide the slightest bit of research, you and the other people on this thread have just said cats are dicks for no reason over and over again while ignoring people like me who actually do know what they're talking about.

Just dropping by. Stop lying please. You're insulting everyones (including your owns) intelligence with your behavior in this thread.
There were links provided which you even denied with "Didn't need to read them" yourself.

And to your argumentation: All you say is "I'm right, because i'm a cat expert with nothing to prove i am and clearly you all haven't read ALL the books about cats so your statements are all irrelevant".
If you can tell us at that point how ANY discussion is going to happen in the first place feel free to offer a solution.

You didn't listen to what people wrote and are again just repeating:
you and the other people on this thread have just said cats are dicks for no reason over and over again
They explained what they meant, they didn't just repeat.

You on the other hand just stated that you're know what you're talking about. No data to back it up, no prove of any diploma or something alike that would show you're an expert on your field nor any other sources/links to provide additional information. Just
people like me who actually do know what they're talking about.
I gonna turn this upside down now: You've no clue about what you're talking. You're mumbling incoherrent nonsense about animal saints, while it's pretty well documented that several animals - which includes us too btw - are very well capable of being sadistic / cruel to other beings for their own enjoyment.
Trust me, i know what im talking about so stop ignoring me!

I would have to have actual arguments to argue against before I could refute them. All I'm getting is the equivalent of "cats are dicks for no reason because I said so!" That's not an argument. Also, I shouldn't even need to back what I say up, you can do that yourselves with any random Google search. Hell, here's one right now that took me about 2 seconds:
http://www.pawnation.com/2013/03/28/are-cats-evil-mean-or-vindictive-by-nature/

Why an I bothering to enlighten you people anyway? The very fact that you can even say this stuff proves that you know jack about cats at all.

Yea I had a dog eat a couch once. A FUCKING COUCH. As well the rubber handle to a hammer, cowboy boots, and count less pillows. We put them up and he would find them. Thank god he's done with that phase. When I was a little kid when had a dog mom saved from an abusive home. Aggressive dogs kill, aggressive cats need to work at it to kill a human.

Cats > dogs :p
