BounceEasy 0 #1 June 9, 2006 So there I was.. I wake up thursday morning and my cat is on my windowsill above my bed freaking out (another cat was outside). So I stand up and the cat jumps on my fricken right leg and latches on. It was just like in the movies. So the cats biting my leg and freaking out I'm running around. I make it over to the bed and grab a pillow. I start trying to whack the the cat off my leg and it eventually flys off and hauls ass around my room. He's still all puffed up and he comes back over at me (at which point I'm scared shitless) and I whack the cat out of the bedroom with the pillow and lock him out. (Note: I do not advocate whacking of cats) Anyway, I feel a little bit traumatized and sold out. Other than that, its all good. If you walk, just walk. If you sit, just sit. But whatever you do, don't wobble. - Master Ummon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpjunkie2004 0 #4 June 9, 2006 You're lucky... my cat just goes nuts for no apparent reason. Maybe there is going to be some sort of evil kitty uprising : )Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BounceEasy 0 #6 June 9, 2006 Actually, my cat goes nuts for no reason too.. Sometimes it makes sense, like he'll climb up on the fridge or microwave and jump on your back when you're not looking. Or he'll jump on the stair banister and slide down it. I can understand that, but the other things.. He'll play in the sprinklers and then roll around in the dirt. And be completely covered in mud. Can I attach videos to this post? If you walk, just walk. If you sit, just sit. But whatever you do, don't wobble. - Master Ummon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #7 June 9, 2006 Insight on a cat: Cats compared to a dog at dinner time Dog thinks when you open a can of food: "WOW ANOTHER CAN OF FOOD, HE/SHE MUSTY BE A GOD" Cat thinks when you open a can of food: "WOW ANOTHER CAN OF FOOD, I MUST BE A GOD" Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

StreetScooby 5 #8 June 9, 2006 Quote He'll play in the sprinklers and then roll around in the dirt. And be completely covered in mud. My male cat is like that. Absolutely loves to roll around in the dirt. He's also the only cat I've ever seen that well let you scatch his belly. He actually likes it. We got him from the SPCA, so we're figuring he lived with dogs when he was young.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NlghtJumper 0 #9 June 9, 2006 This thread alone is enough to make me NEVER want to own a cat. Why would you want an animal that stratches you when it's mad, and stratches you more when its happy? Its a lose lose situation!

Slappie 9 #10 June 9, 2006 Ok I spewed Triciuts across my desk and water dribbled out of my mouth and down my chin. Thanks, I really needed this laugh this morning.

NlghtJumper 0 #12 June 9, 2006 See thats exactly my point. The most my dogs will do is jump on me. (Of course with large breed dogs, this is usually quite painful) but there is no biting involved...

murrays 0 #13 June 9, 2006 So, here's my suggestion.....for punishment, shave him like a little "Girlie Dog" and see how he likes it......see attached photo of our cat, His Formerly Royal Fluffiness Froedrich von Vomit Frickleschnits aka Fred. That should eliminate the hairball coughing episodes for a while -- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathaniel 0 #15 June 9, 2006 Next time pick the cat up, take him into the bath tub and turn on the shower. Hold him in the cold water till he gets soaked. He'll learn quick Only took one treatment for my cat, the second time I brought her over to the tub she straightened up right away and stopped being bitey. Once he's all cold and wet if you dry him off with a towel he'll realize you're better for snuggling than for biting.My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NlghtJumper 0 #16 June 9, 2006 seems like a lot of work just to get it to stop biting... its a lot easier to just get a dog.

MarkM 0 #17 June 9, 2006 Geesh. If I owned a cat and it tried this with me, it better go for the jugular, because a insane 10lb cat attacked a pissed off 150lb Mark won't end well for the cat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
