Topic: Do you Find Cats annoying? (Almost killed mine) - page 13. (Read 16158 times)

Other people's cats/kittens are the best.
If you start with a kitten and treat it well, then you can have a very nice pet.

cats are cute, if you don't have to live with them. Almost like kids.

I prefer dogs myself, cats tend to run away, while you can easily teach dog to walk by your side. Also cats can be really destructive in the house, they love to jump on things, bite cables and stuff.
As for the scratching, a lot of people clip their nails, you can do that with both cats and dogs, you should try this!

I thought it was tomatoes vs cucumbers.

The Cat vs Dog debate is silly. It's like comparing tomatoes and apples. If you try to make a pizza with applesauce, you're going to have a bad time.

Wow you got such an experience with cat huh. Im not a pet person, but if I got a husky,then things might be different. And see, we dont have any kind of cat to be desired,while there're a bunch of kinds of dogs that people wanted,like husky,or sherman

Cats can be really annoying i agree, its just the way they are and it depends on the cat. Cats are very susceptible to being abused due to their annoying behavior, my advise is if you feel Cats annoy you them simply don't get one.

Ive seen cats who are v calm, loyal and really dont bother anyone. I love cats but haven't owned one in a long time, i try to help stray cats when i can.

Cats like all other animals communicate with their owners.
The key point is to understand its communications (verbal , eye contact and body language). It's about the same with dogs, but a cat's signals are generally much more subtle and require attention to detail.
Plus, a cat doesn't really have "an owner" like a dog (the Alpha) - caretaker is more appropriate and everyone getting a cat into the house should know that

If you misunderstand or ignore the communications, nothing bad will happen at first. The cat will clearly signal how it is doing.
Persistently ignoring the clear signals, however, can eventually end up in the animal breaking its way. If you attempt to force someting onto a cat, it will eventually respond with a similar reaction.

As opposed to obidient dogs, cats have a mind of their own - and they'll enforce that. They don't like or accept oppression and never look for or need an Alpha like a dog (this is often misinterpreted as "lack of loyality").

Although cats can do very stupid things (so do dogs), they're very cool animals.
But generally, unlike i.e. dogs they're animals that people can't simply pick up when they want/need it and stuff/command them away when they're done. Doesn't work that way.

IMHO when something goes unexpected or wrong between human and animal, 99% of the time it's the lack of attention or care of the human. Most of it comes from communcation failure and complete lack of situational awareness.
Understanding its language and respecting its needs (it's not a toy !) yields the best results. Then you'll find out they aren't nearly as dimwitted as many would think, but of course they're still animals.
Plus, sometimes I think the animals are smarter, more kind and generally better behaving than alot of humans. Usually I find animals are much more honest.
The sad truth is, alot of humans just aren't fit to have an animal companion for various reasons.

PS.
Above "rules of the road" basically apply to all animals. Learn the rules and you'll even get along with wild/free-living animals in nature with surprising results.

Just because it did not die does not mean it wasn't abused lol can't be for real must be trolling hahaha

fair enough u like cats np

but can u please point out where i abused the cat ? I never abused it or caused harm to it, It didn't die, it was struggling to move for a while but then it was running around a few hours later like nothing happened. As i said before, i also put it in a shoe box and dumped it outside a petstore the next day.

Average domestic cats are not annoying, they are simply... wild. Just a downscaled versions of tiger or lion. If they were bigger there would be a lot casualties among the owners.

So fuck if you were bleeding? It doesn't hurt that much, im covered in cuts from my cat but I never once retaliated and done something back to her, you must have something seriously wrong with you if you cant control yourself lashing out at a poor little cat.

And I don't care what that article says, you were not defending yourself against a killer animal, it was a cat that scratched you and you massively over reacted to the point you wanted to cause it pain. Cmon man whats you most damage a cat could really do to you? Sure I guess it could possibly blind you if it were to cut your eye but other than that they aren't that fucking harmful. A dog on the other hand could tear you apart and kill you in seconds.

So when a cat is walking round your legs just wanting a bit of attention, you think it's actually got an ulterior motive and wants cause you physical harm? Lol, wow you need to sort your head out dude.

I personally think cats are clever enough not to listen to our bullshit.


+1 Thank you Four Rings

lol I don't care what you did or do, but you clearly did abuse your cat haha. Good on you for giving it away though, I know there people out there what would have just binned it .

Glad you hate cats, did u own one before?

I don't like cats. I like dogs. I'm planning to buy a tibetan mastiff. 

I never abused my cat, I almost drowned it in water but that's it.

I also felt bad later so I dumped the cat outside a pet store for free the next day

Ur first cat has zero loyalty that's why

Ur second cat sounds decent but rarely I've seen cats loyal like that

Lol I'm the dick when I'm the one who was attacked and was BLEEDING.

Look at that article butterzone posted, the guy kicked the cat across the room for self defence. No one accused him of abuse.

There is a reason ppl hate cats, its because of their stupidity and lack of loyalty, they keep attacking the owner and hurting u trying to trip u etc. Ud think they r fairly intelligent as they do a lot of intelligent stuff as much as a dog. But when it comes to loyalty they r willing to kill u.

My Shep is ready to die for me and I can command him to attack an aggressor, see the difference?

I like most cats.
I do not like most people.

OP, you are not a cat person. Fine. But there is never a valid excuse for abuse.

I generally like cats, but my most recent one is a bit of a psychopath. He'll walk next to me, rub up against my legs, etc, and then when I pick him up to pet him, he starts biting me and won't let go unless I physically open his jaw.

My second most recent, and other current, cat, is a bit more relaxed and less violent. She reminds me a lot of Garfield.
