Do they often make love?


Wow, that was awkward.... Never mind.

For this reason and many others, all our cats remain indoors at all times. My mom can't even deal with me talking about injured animals, so she would have gone ballistic if she were you Red.

We also have foxes that live near us as well, and there was recently a spattering of grey fur in our back yard. No gore, just fur. I assume either hawks, foxes, or cats.

well, this was a stray that we adopted when it was a kitten. someone had abandoned it, and my husband has a soft heart. so, she loves to be outside.

Dead birds or mice are one thing, but a bunny. That is satanic.

Our cats love to be outside, but they are not allowed out there. Too dangerous; but we open the windows for them. We have 'domesticated' a feral cat and her kittens, so we have to be careful they don't run out the door. They'd get into too much trouble if we did.

I'd love for our cats to go out sometimes, but they stay inside. Firebert, the Siamese-mix, refuses to go outside. I could leave the door open all day and he wouldn't go. He hates the cold and just huddles next to the radiators or hides in a wardrobe during the day. Cosmo, the Maine Coon, would love to go outside but his previous owner had him de-clawed.

I hate cats, they are the only OTHER animal that will kill for no reason, besides humans of course. I was a little kid in bed real sick with german measels and I seen this beautiful bluebird out the window, it was looking over by the trees. Then i seen this big cat looking back at the bird. Then the bird was caught in the cats stare and sort of flew down to the ground and waited there until the cat came over and swatted it, crippling its wing so it could not fly, I watched the cat torture the bird for over an hour, let it hop towards the trees and then cut it off and swat a few more feathers from it with its claws. The cat finally left it alone when it died, it did not even eat the bird. Cats are sick and evil creatures, they are the serial killers of animals. Of course that is just my opinion.

The best way to load a cat into your car, a pitchfork.
The best use of cat, chinese fast food.
The best type of cat to own, mounted by a taxidermist.

I had a contract with an old lady in Milford Ohio to work on her home, that monday evening I met her to go over her choices on the work I was supposed to start the next morning, while we were talking this really fat cat, I mean garfield fat, walked out her door and starting meowing at her, she opened a big bag of food and poured a large bowl full and added some soft stinking stuff from a can and mixed it up, this was more food than we would give our medium sized dog. The she said " Oh my, the vet told me I have to stop feeding tigger so much as she is overweight and that could kill her." She then went on to tell me the cat was a feral cat that came around her back door two years earlier during the bad winter storms and was near starved to death, and how it took her almost two weeks to get the cats trust, and how this cat now loves her and sets on her lap and is her companion and friend she could not live without it.

The next morning I was supposed to meet her at 8:00 am to get started and she was going to unlock the garage for me and move her car out, when I arrived she was not there. I checked back all day and tried her home phone a dozen times, this was pre cell phone days. I checked back the next day and the day after several times, I looked at her place whenever I would get by there, less frequently as the days turned into over a month. One day I was driving by and seen an ambulance in her drive and she was being led up to the door by an attendant from the ambulance on a walker with a large bandage around her head. The next morning she called me to explain she had to cancel the job for now as she was out a fortune for the hospital bills. I told her I seen her while passing by and asked her if she was in a car wreck, she told me that after I left she thought about what her vet had said about overfeeding the cat and tried to remove the cats food bowl to lessen the portion when the cat jumped on her chest clawing her and clawed its way up to her face and removed her left eye, they could not save it, and clawed off her ear, they were able to re-attach the ear. The wounds got a staff infection and she had went into a coma nearly dying. Then she told me they caged the cat to see if it had rabies, and it did not, and afterwards they put the cat down. Believe it or not she was heartbroken and blamed herself for the cats death?

You are a sad strange woman Lil red!
No, I watched it as I was stuck in bed with a 104 degree fever and was praying the bird would make it to the trees.

aha, the fever explains it.

well, i love my cat anyway, regardless of her propensity for killing small things. she kills the mice that come into the house, so that's good.

Its not your cats fault, its just their nature to kill things. My cousin has four of them, he winds up with baby squirrels and rabbits on the doorstep all the time, he told me once herman woke him and his wife up purring proudly one morning in their bed, it had placed a large rat it killed for them on the bed by their feet, aint love grand?

Another good thing about cat being owned by a cat is if you ever decide to switch over to satanic worship or witchcraft you have already got one of the staples of such practises at hand!

My family has four.

They have caught and presented us with mice, voles (like mice but with pointed noses), moths, flys (or flies?), gave a bird a heart attack, and once almost caught a chipmonk.

Our house is old and things come in through drafts and chimneys.

Cats are amesome, though. They are independent, affectionate on their own terms, don't need to be walked, and usually don't lick humans.

And the pope has a cat named Chico.
