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.Bara_no_Hime said:Snip
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.Strazdas said:Snip
Of course Fappy would side with the cat.Fappy said: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!

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.Fappy said:Propaganda
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.Redlin5 said:He's a traitor people, a turncoat!

james.sponge said: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.
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.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.
man this reminds me of a jokeUltratwinkie said:I'm pro choice, everywhere I go I leave a pile of dead babies. Not exactly new.NuclearKangaroo said: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 roomUltratwinkie said:Too bad the dogs that mauled babies didn't get the memo. Unless of course they ruin he carpet forever with baby blood.NuclearKangaroo said:and this lads and gents is why dogs>cats
dogs are mans best friend, they dont trap people in bedrooms, they bring you the newspaper, play fetch and ruin the carpet forever
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.
i hope you are happy twinkie
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.)
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).immortalfrieza said: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.lacktheknack said:Snip
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.Bara_no_Hime said:I'm the one who provided research.

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

They explained what they meant, they didn't just repeat.you and the other people on this thread have just said cats are dicks for no reason over and over again
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.people like me who actually do know what they're talking about.
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:Adeptus Aspartem said:Snip
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.NuclearKangaroo said:and this lads and gents is why dogs>cats
