I had a friend who had a Maine Coon with a bad attitude. The cat's name was Zappa, and he was definitely a one-person cat. Going over to visit almost always meant you'd be leaving with a wound on your hand, your arm, your face, or your back. Zappa would put up with pets for a little bit-- on HIS terms-- and when he was done with pets, he'd go all rear end in a top hat and either attack you, or start stalking around waiting for his chance to ambush you. And if he decided it was time for a stare-down contest, win or lose, you were gonna bleed. His owner used to do this thing where he'd flip him off from across the room, and Zappa would charge like a bull at him. I'm surprised the guy didn't end up murdered in his sleep from that cat. Edit: I'll never forget the sensation of sitting there watching a movie, knowing that at any moment Zappa would come lunging out of nowhere and viciously attack your arm or your legs. If you knew to expect it, it was just "one of those things", but if you weren't prepared for that level of cat, it was terrifying. woodch fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Aug 12, 2016 |

SynthOrange posted:Also got back from my sydney work trip. Looks like Pudding ate too much, barfed up but then ate that up later. gross. I don't remember where I saw it, but I learned that in the wild, some cats (big cats and small cats) will gorge themselves and go barf somewhere to "save" food for later. I wish I could convince Sam that he doesn't live in the wild and doesn't need to do this.

Kwyndig posted:I switched my cats over to easier to digest food and that stopped almost entirely. I've tried various foods over the years, and apparently it's Just A Thing(tm) with him. And it's not that the food is hard or easy to digest, he just gulps it down without chewing. Speaking seriously, I'm sure it's competitive eating since he only seems to do it if he happens to be in kitchen when Nigel is eating. He'll see that and immediately butt Nigel out of the way and start gulping down food, even though there's plenty of food still in his bowl. It's also, not ALL the time, but it does seem to come in waves where he'll go weeks without doing it, then 3 or 4 days in a row I'll come home to an un-chewed barf turd. I've tried brushing him regularly (to reduce hairballs), all sorts of wet and dry foods, both cheap and hoity-toity, and simply separating them at meal time and making them stick to a feeding schedule. It all just seems to boil down to "is cat". Also, not complaining. I'm a cat-haver. This is my life.

Don't you worry about those venetian blind strings?  First thing I do with venetian blinds is trim the cord as short as it'll go, and when I pull them open like that, I put the cord somewhere WAY out of reach of curious cats.

Sweet As Sin posted:Someone's mad I didn't give her garlic chicken Sam goes bananas for garlic when he smells me cooking with it. A quick google turned up that garlic is actually toxic to cats, so I have to tell him "no" every time.  It's too bad, cuz he gets all rolley-polley and cute kitty-like about it. It's like he smells catnip. Course, he does the same thing with bleach when I wash my underwear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yILWzZXSpA), so he might just be weird.

Ciaphas posted:I so want a second catte, Hope is so bored when i'm nothome and I can't pay attention to her all the time even when I am The question should be, how can you afford NOT to get a second cat? For real, though, a lot of landlords have this ingrained aversion to cats because CAT PEE NEVER GOES AWAY, MY GOD, WE'LL HAVE TO BURN THE WHOLE BUILDING DOWN WHEN YOU MOVE OUT! As a side note, once you find a good landlord, just never ever move.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:My codependent cat will try to block me when he knows I'm getting in the shower, and then constantly pull the door open and try to swipe at me while I'm in there When Sam was younger, he'd poke his head into the shower, look at me, and cry out as if to say, "What are you doing!?! Yer gettin all wet! Don't you realize that's water coming down on you!?!"

Goober Peas posted:I have a Maudith-alike that comes by for a visit periodically and she gives me the slow blink out of one eye while getting pets. I've never seen a catte only blink one eye. According to several "cat behavior" things I've seen, that's the cat equivalent of a friendly kiss Kitty likes you! Pro-tip: You can wink back to show the feeling is mutual.

I got one of those cheap, spring-loaded cat tree things a few weeks ago and finally put it up. I know Sam likes it, but Nigel is suspicious as always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbjyGmj_r74 It hasn't shown any signs of coming crashing down, even with Sam's big ol' 12.5 pound butt jumpin all over it. Makes a racket tho.

Tendai posted:I love when cats get so pleased that they just flop around like that I had that x2 a little while ago... It was claw trimming time, and Nigel's reward for not flippin' out was an extended round of pets, which had him wriggling and head-butting like a nut. Sam got the same reward, but he just did air biscuits and slowly wriggled his way in a complete circle in my arms. No pics or video
