A 'Get off the List free' card. Like Monopoly's 'Get out of jail free' card, or the 'Get Out Of Hell Free' card?

Don't tell me you don't know about the List

Remember that it will go out of its way to run figure 8s around your legs while you're carrying heavy objects up and down the stairs.

Don't let it jump up on any surfaces that your preparing food on! Even if it is the cleanest cat ever!!!

Also to save your vet a lot of trouble heed this advice:

Don't use Dog strength spot on flea treatments on your cat! The number of times some idiots came into the vets i worked in after doing this is amazing! Your cat can die from this so don't do it.

Oh, and it's best not to let it sleep in the same room as you. Cats have sleeping schedules that will drive you crazy. They'll wake you up every few hours by either jumping on your chest, which wakes you up quite swiftly, or poking around at your ear with their nose. Maybe they'll lay down and sleep for a couple hours, but then they have to wake up, go on patrol and do it all over again.

Mine curls up into a ball beside me on my bed. She can sleep practically all day there because it's a bunk like bed and so my dog can't get her. Not that the dog could beat her up anyway.

My mum started off not even letting our cats upstairs at our house! She added in the following order:
- Not in the lounge or dining room if no-one is there
- Not allowed in lounge or dining room at all!
- Only allowed in the kitchen!!! (beds and point of entry are there)

Of course me and my brother didn't give a flying fuck about what she wanted and my dad only enforced it half-heartedly so these only applied while she was in the house.

Cats are great, i don't shoot mine with anything, just shout "OI CAT!" and make a lot of noise or go and pick them up and tell them no when they do something bad.

In fact, both of my cats slept on me last night, although i too am slightly allergic to them, but they're so sweeeeet.

I mean look:

Awwww.

But remember, this is what they're actually thinking:

Inside the cat's mind.

Yes. Cats suck. When you get it, drive out to the bush and dump it. Then get a dog.

Better yet, kill boredshirtless and cut up his carcass and donate it to the local animal shelter. Everybody wins.

No I kid, cats are ok. In fact, I'll be out tonight looking for one. My tennis racquet needs a re-string.

I think Einy commented on how Rye's cats weren't actually sleeping, but having hot, sweaty sex... But that pic of those two cats are cuter than any Anee Geddes Pics I've ever seen.

My friend's cat has this odd habit of suckling on the sweat patches on their t-shirts, not sure why, it is still rather young.

Rye, the link didn't work

the cat's are cute, I need to fix this TINY allergy

You wouldn't see my parents cats sleeping that close to each other.

In fact, the only times they acknowledge each other's existence is when they're fighting....

Yeah, i deleted it cos it was taking up too much space...but pretend you saw something funny.

Here's my two bits:

Arm&Hammer Baking Soda makes a clumping cat litter with the baking soda already included. This gets rid of cat-odor like nothing else I've ever used! And it's really tight clumps, so if you scoop the box every day or even every other day, the litter will last longer! And it comes in 35lb boxes of the stuff! (My two go through it in approx 45 days)

Other than that, I can say that I have seen a cat trained to go to bed when his master did. How? Because said master started by picking up the cat and holding him captive, giving the poor cat a thwap on the head every time the cat tried to escape before Master was asleep. Within two months, the cat ran to the bedroom whenever he saw the signs of Master wanting to go to bed, and remained on the bed, curled up in Master's arm.

Get an indoor/outdoor cat. That way, no litterbox.

Solauren · Post by **Solauren** » 2003-11-20 06:06pm

Don't use cheap 1 dollar soft bullet guns on them, mine thinks they are funny. I shot him with one once (he was on my computer so water was bad), and he looked at it and then chased the dart

My parents are trained well...

When the cats want a nice warm bed, they start giving pointed looks. And yawning. Yawning being infectious, it soon has someone packing up for bed, and shortly surrounded by cats.
