if a cat in an environment is a sufficient size isn't it pretty much the apex predator? there are apparently mountain lions beginning to move in around the general area where I live and it freaks me out

Nice... not.

King Vidiot posted:Isn't it airborne when the poop's been around so long that it desiccates and breaks apart? So the solution is really just to stop leaving cat poo poo piled up in your litter boxes, and for the rare moments you actually clean them out be sure to wash your hands like a grown-rear end person. There is less time spent overall cleaning a litter box than having to be bullied by a dog's need to act like that little man in the anti-smoking commercials. You know, the one that's a bully and is all like "IT'S TIME TO SMOKE UP NOW human being PUT THE GAME ON PAUSE." I hate that guy. It's a totally accurate portrayal of dog owners/smokers, though.

Claven666 posted:cool cat stories One of my cats, Stanley, thinks his name is "Dammit" but is otherwise the most chill and friendly cat who runs over to me when I come home and knows when you want him to keep off of something. He must have been raised by dogs because dog-only people actually like him. The other cat is a little bitch raised from birth by my girlfriend from before when we met and it howls a little at night sometimes but is basically okay.

Three Olives posted:Two dogs are better than one dog but some of us don't have giant houses so we have two small dogs. No. That doesn't make it better. ArbitraryC posted:Actually cats frequently torture their prey and kill for sport rather than hunger. In what little capacity rodents and birds have for preference I'm sure they'd rather get eaten by a snake. Cats are natural hunters. If they are not trained by the momma cat to kill, they don't always do it in the most efficient manner. It's pretty cruel looking, but it's not like you can tell them how to snap necks better or anything, they're cats and learn by watching mom. CAPT.

it almost seems like cats and dogs both have their good and bad parts, and people who haven't owned one or the other are biased towards whichever they're used to p.s. don't let your cat outside and don't let your dog poo poo everywhere without cleaning it up

I don't mind cats but I'd never have one for a pet. They stink up a house really bad. And for everyone who says 'oh i have cats and my house doesn't smell', bullshit I just got punched in the face with cat piss smell as soon as I walked in the door.

Guancho posted:I don't mind cats but I'd never have one for a pet. They stink up a house really bad. If you are bad at cleaning a litter box and/or have upset the cat, yes, your house will smell like piss. Some cats are not chill, just like dogs, and if you stress out a cat they will piss everywhere, just like an upset dog. If you've established who is boss and how things are gonna go from the get go, they will do their best to hide their excrement from you in the box (you bought the odor absorbing litter... right?) because that's how it works. They don't need poop-angry or pee-angry hairless apes possibly trying to murder them. Cat body language is different than dog body language, but it's totally understandable unless you are, in fact, a creepy shithead. They also do sight (blinking, looking away and back but squinty means everything is chill while staring means poo poo's gonna go down one way or another) things instead of smelling all up on things like a dog. Cats and dogs are different but both cool. Well-adjusted cats are great, like small dogs but not lame at all. Perhaps people who don't like cats (creepy shitheads) are thinking of feral cats when they think of cats.

It's so weird going to other peoples' homes and encountering their traumatized semi-feral cats compared to my cool chill cats or my parents' cool cats. I dunno how people can gently caress up so bad raising a catten.

I have a cat that's a nice cat it just spends all day murdering. Murdering murdering murdering. Torturing rodent animals it finds until they die or until the dogs decide to help out and eat the chipmunk or mouse or whatever. Besides that the cat is very nice and friendly.

i stayed at myu sisters for a week to look after their dog and whenever i went out for a smoke the dog was very excited and jumped up and wagged his tail and wanted me to pat him and for the first day i thought "wow what a nice and happy dog i like this dog and he likes me" and after that it got really old and i realised that the dog didnt like me it just liked me patting it and if i didnt pat it it would poke me with his paw and if i still didnt react he would sit on my foot and i thought then that a benefit of having a cat is that you always know where you stand

QUEEN CAUCUS posted:Sometimes the cat will act like it wants you to pat the belly Never do this. I read somewhere that since prey animals often get disemboweled via belly, it sort of mimics an attack and makes most cats feel incredibly insecure. It would be like if a human friend went from a friendly bro hug to suddenly grabbing your balls. Otherwise cats are cool but unlike dogs, they are born with personalities that either love or hate humanity and the ones that hate getting pet and act half-wild suck. Either own a cat or own a big dog. Both are a thousand times better than yappy little shithead dogs. For every small dog that is cool (because it has a human owner that doesn't treat it like a literal infant) there are a thousand worthless little yappy bite machines that are constantly being cradled in the arm of a lovely person who won't let it act like the little mutant wolf abortion it really is

Cuckoo posted:For every small dog that is cool I had a teacup poodle (didn't buy it, relative gave it to me because her husband hated it) and she was the coolest dog ever, and probably my favorite of all my pets. One of the things she loved to do was crawl right up your belly and nuzzle her head under your chin. She barked like a motherfucker though all the time at anybody she didn't know or any noise she heard outside, but that's the way toy poodles are. I thought it was funny but I'm sure guests didn't.

When cats are on their backs they can bite as well as claw you with all four sets of claws, which are all super sharp compared to doggy digpaws. It's their disembowel finishing move. Just let them be when they do that. They're not taunting you when they do that, they just wanna get their stretch on and not have their undercarriage hosed with, that's submissive doggy nonsense.

when you buy a cat do they inject you with some kind of drug that makes you crazy over some disease carrying pests or are you crazy before purchasing?
