Lets put our political issues aside for a minute i need some help.

Well it was freezing last night and this cat showed up at my front door. It was into the single degrees last night so i brought it in and of course my fiance wants to keep it.

it seems like a pretty decent cat. im a dog guy myself and ive never really liked cats before but this seems like a pretty dog-like cat so im trying to learn a bit about cats before i decide to keep it or not. i dont know much about cats but i do know a lot about raising animals. I have two dogs and they are great and they get along pretty well with the cat.

what kind of special things do cats need? can they be trained? do you have to train them to use a litter box? any other tips would be helpful.

thanks in advance.

Once they get comfortable,they'll only come to you if they need food.

Don't bother with the bed and frilly shit, give it a box w/ some old clothes and some raw meat.

Cleaning the litterbox/vomit/etc. is the only messy part.

But like an old Land Rover, it doesn't require much maintence and handle abuse.

They basically take care of themselves. Its the juse the males that are assholes, they trully do come to you ONLY when they want food...

He will probably go back to his owners sometime.

In my experience they like their cat food better than anything. Have a sandbox or simply leave open windows. Aside form that, as MadMax said they are pretty much autosuficient.

No training required on the litter box. If you have infinite patients, sparetime, and treats they can be trained to do about anything, but I must warn you training a pussy is about 50X harder than training a dog. For instance it took me at least 4 hrs to train my cat to "sit" on command, where as my dog was born knowing this command.

Having a cat under your roof will make you at least 20% more of a liberal.

You did a pretty nice thing. Congrats in advance for having a heart. ;)

Well I have always been a dog guy myself, but always fancied a cat. Almost 2 years ago a beautiful white "girl" decided to make that wish come true.

Cats are indeed very self-sufficient once they have food, fresh water and a litter box (a closed one is better to avoid a mess and make sure you keep it clean to avoid problems). They know what to do once you put sand in the box. She/he will immediately use it.

One mistake people usually do with cats: don't give him cow milk. It's to hard for them to digest. If you don't have the proper milk for cats (which you can find at the supermarket) mix the regular milk with water.

It's important to have at home this special, yet cheap, cream that you should give him once in a while, to help him throw out the furr balls that inevitably are formed in their stomach.

To feed a cat (or a dog for that matter) properly, you should use dry food. It's by far the best for their health. Choose a good make. It pays back on vet bills.

That's pretty much it. Cat's don't take much of your time. Just make sure you have some scratching boards around the house to avoid having to buy new sofas/stereos/TV's/beds/chairs etc..:D

One thing I think it's important to know since you mention a fiance:
If you're thinking about having kids any time soon (or not that soon, since a cat can live for 20 years), you'll have to be aware of toxoplasm infections.
Toxoplasm can infect pregant women and cause serious problems on the baby. How can she be infected? There are mainly 2 ways: rarely done meat or... cat excrement. So if your girl gets pregnant (either it is your fault or not :D ), make sure she has no contact with the litter box or parts of the cat that are most likely to carry the virus (tale, asshole :D, mouth or feet).

Having a cat is a great experience. When they start to connect with you it's very rewarding. However, as with any animal, you have to be responsible and have some cares. Letting the cat in and out of your house can be a problem for you and your cat or neighbours' cats and family. Keep him inside. He/she won't mind.

Good luck and enjoy your new friend. ;)

With cats you got to learn they might come between you and better half, They will scratch things maybe claw your legs, And look at you with a hypnotic look. Avoid eye contact at all time..

Well thanks for your help so far guys i got her a litter box and she took her first poop...after she pissed all over me and my truck of course:D

But anyway, so far so good and I'm definately planning on keeping her. but keep bringing the tips and stuff.

mcries...thanks for your advice, i heard about that deal with the cat feces, i guess we'll just have to cross that bridge when we get to it.

now here comes the hard part. anyone got any ideas for names? im pretty happy calling her kitty but the misses wants a real name.

The only real experience with cats was at one of my "bad" friends' place. Once they had another nest and couldn't keep the 8 kittens. We killed them before dumping them in the sea. If you ever need advice, it's very easy. The neck snaps easily.

You are the ultimate asshole. A piece of human garbage.
And the worst part is that you need to constantly remind us of that.
Shut up if you don't have anything less stupid than usual to say.

You need to take pictures of it doing silly things, and add humorous captions.

a helpful tip.

Buy some cat grass...

The cat will love you for that :)


Reminds me when I bought a bunch of cat grass... I left it on the table and went outside and left the door open...

I came back in to find another cat (not mine) sniffing the bag. Two seconds later the random cat just picked up the bag in his mouth and walked out the open door...

So they like their weed too huh? :D

Are old cats "tamable"? Like are they wild unless they were raised as a kitten?


I know nothing about cats, but there might be shots and inoculations that it might need.

whats cat grass?

good question nsx i was wondering that too. this one is pretty young though.

also where/ how do you pet cats? im so used to dogs i dont think the cat is too crazy about the back scratch but it does like it between her ears. what do all the noises they make mean? like what does a purr mean? or a meow?

All cats tend to be different. Some cats like having their bellies stroked/tickled. Mine, on the other hand, hates it with a passion. Her favourite place is light stroking right on the back of her neck, around where her collar sits. I'd say generally be a lot more gentle than you would with a dog, cats are much smaller!

Generally speaking, purring = good, they are happy and content.

Meowing = "I want feeding/milk/letting out/attention etc"

However, my cat actually purrs when she's biting and scratching people. I think she's just a psychopath though!

Definitely make sure you take it to the vets to get fully checked out, inoculated, find out whether it's been spayed/neutered etc. Aside from that, enjoy it! Cats are tons of fun! :)

Don't declaw it, my cat loved to fight, so I don't think it would have been in good shape without her claws. Unfortunately, she died in September after 18 years.

It's like this. Dogs are like men. You give them attention and they're happy. They aren't fussy about how you pet them and they'll eat most anything you give them.

Cats are like women. Each one has individual needs and no two cats like to be pet the same way. They won't tell you how they DO like to be pet, they'll just be pissed off if you can't read their mind. They're finicky eaters, and often will be unhappy no matter what you do. Oh, and they'll eat you if you die.

Lap dogs count as cats.

very well said.

I adore cats and have always wanted one. My parents arent 'pet' people but I'm still working on persuading them to let me buy one. They are great house pets. They dont take much looking after but they are always there when you leave the house in the morning, and always there when you come back at night. Great animals. If one turned up on my door I'd do a check of the neighbourhood to see if anyone's missing a cat, but I'd love to keep it as my own. Take good care of it, give it some food and a warm place to sleep and see what the future holds :)

i've had catsand dogs all of my life, and there isnt a dog that can really replace a cat. i really enjoy them when they decide to be friendly to me.

my current cat Bettie is insane.... in a good way. she used to be more my cat, but she has as of lately taken much more to my wife. thats fine. she still provides us hours of entertainment with her antics. flipping about attacking her cat toys, bugs, leaves, her tail, nothing at all. or when she is passed out in her 'porn star' poses.

I'm not a fan of cats, thats not to say they dont have their moments.

I think the bond between man and dog is a much less superficial bond.
The cat is like the clown at a party, great for a short time, but goes away more often than is there. a dog is the trusty pal that never leaves your side (unless told to). I have been around dogs and cats my life, And i always find myself going down to the animal shelter to look at the dogs, not the cats.

Drakkie, as McReis said, shut the hell up about your problems. We don't care what bad decisions you made. Please stop using every opportunity to draw pity onto your poor-self. The title of the thread is "anyone know anything about cats?" and not, "hmm... I found a cat, how should I kill it using methods that are illegal in most 1st world countries in the world?"

It's your choice you hung out with the bad crowd. You've grown up now, so shut up and move on. I've done some questionable shit but I've gotten past that.


Edit- Oh, I'd like to mention that I'm a fellow cat-er... guy too. I used to have one in the ol' avatar.

My friend has a cat....named "night" in Hebrew, and boy does it hate anyone not in their family, lol.

It will rub up against my leg, look up (while rubbing), hiss at me, rub again, hiss and then leave.

I'd imagine a cat would be really fun to own, and pretty relaxing. As long as it likes you :p I can't though, because one of my sisters and my dad are allergic :(

If you think its alright taking in an adult cat, wait until you get a kitten, or better yet, a 4 week old kitten. My brother and i both have a cat and dog each, and both cats we got as soon as we could get them to eat and drink by themselves. I've inadvertently trained my cat to scream her head off whenever she's hungry by constantly mocking her meowing when she was a kitten. My brother can get his cat to jump up on him and bite his nose/mouth by making a very high pitched whistle.

My family was adopted by a cat a few years ago (pictured). He showed up in our yard, meowing pitifully and being friendly. We fed him, and he never left (I'm his favorite, though :) ). We give him a mix of dry and canned food, and the occasional treat (he likes cheese, and the milky dregs from my mom's cereal bowl). Most cats have their own little quirks, but if a cat decides to like you, they can be very sweet. Cats actually have a much wider range of vocal sounds them dogs do, but you'll quickly figure out which sounds mean "I'm hungry," "I want to go out," "I want to be left alone," and so on. Most cats don't care for belly rubs, but if they roll over on their back it indicates they feel safe (if they didn't feel safe, they wouldn't expose such a vulnerable area). And they sleep a lot, usually on your bed, your favorite chair, the newspaper you were trying to read, or under your car.

You don't need to buy. You will probably find a whole bunch of them needing rescue at a shelter. ;)

I wouldn't say it's more superficial. It's just different. While you "own" a dog and he accepts that condition easily, you have to conquer the cat and persuade him to be yours. You need to gain his confidence and friendship, which is quite a challenge because cats can get annoyed with you and change their attitude for a week or so, forcing you to make a new approach. It's very funny.
Dogs are absolutely yours once you give them a comfy place to sleep and decent food.
Don't get me wrong: I have a dog too and I absolutely love dogs. I caught mine starving to death on the street and took her home. So she sees us as gods. :D

You should try this with a dog that has been abused, When you raise your hand it flinches away like your going to belt it, You move past all that and the dog becomes your best mate, She sleeps on your chair at night when your in bed, She wakes up your mum in the middle of the night to go outside to the toilet so she doesn't disturb you:D, She trust you so much that you can lay your head down on her and sleep, She becomes the family protector but never letting you her most important thing out of her sight, And when you are injured in her backyard she goes off and circles you and wont allow anyone to touch you, You carm her down and she sits at your feet, And when your away for a single night she walks the hall up and down like a mother waiting for her young ones to come home before she can settle down for the night.

She even warned us that the baby was awake one time, She had this side on look with a little yelp when something was wrong, This was back in the day when baby monitors wernt big or really around, We had one with 4 legs:D.

I also had 2 cats, the first i cant remember it's name i was very young don't have a great memory to far back, But the other as i was older was called FleeBee:D she was found wondering the roads hungry, We had her for years and then one day she just didn't come home, And they say when cats pass they go off and away to pass.. Since the 2 cats and my Dog i wont have anymore animals again.

That was the case of my dog. She had obviously been abused, cause she always had an incredible fear of broomsticks and that sort of objects. We never slap her or anything cause her reaction is impossible to describe.
When we brought her home she had given birth recently. I wonder what they did to her puppies. She also had a huge tumour. Fortunately, with some investment, we saved her.
Now she's a great friend and does all the sort of nice things you talk about. So you can see how relaxed she is, she even accepted LotusLocost at our place. :D

This is absolutely correct.

Especially this bit.

Just give it tons of attention, but not too much. let it do as it pleases save for clawing furniture to death, etc because if you try and keep it in just one space or whatever they tend to get unhappy unless they're sleeping.

Exactly. I would like to own a dog. I just don't have the room/space/time/permission to get one.

Right now I own a turtle, which is rather trouble free. It's hibernating, so it just does nothing all day long and sleeps. I wish I could be doing that right now. :D

How about Ferrari or just Enzo if he/she purrs a lot ?
Rover - if it won't go out in the rain.
Hummer - if all it does is eat lots and lots of food.
Caddilac - if its overweight and farts a lot :)
I'm sure with a little more time we can come up with lots of ideas in a similar vein :D

yeah, because the $5 it costs for each lethal dose of barbiturates or the $1 it costs for each bullet is clearly too much to give said kittens a clean death rather than the cruelty they no doubt suffered at your bumbling hands

They are great house pets.
agreed. but i cannot stand it when people let them roam free over the neighbourhood.

Dogs are absolutely yours once you give them a comfy place to sleep and decent food.
a lot of people are often suprised to learn that the reason labrador/golden retriever crosses are used as guide dogs is because their loyalty shifts to whoever is presently feeding them, not for some extraordinary innate talent :D

In my defence. The kittens did not suffer at all. They were dead almost instantanously. The kittens had to go because they could not be brought to an asylum (costs) and noone was interested in taking them (advertisements in supermarkets etc.). The situation was simply untenable. People tend to overreact sometimes, especially considering animals considered cute. I can understand, but sometimes it goes over the top.


My reply was a rather useless and failed way of creating reactions. To anyone offended, my apologies. Cats and especially kittens are nice animals and I had quite some amusement with them.

obviously buy bulk/mil surplus it's a bit cheaper but still less than idea

:rolleyes: then why have pets in the first place, and furthermore not have them desexed? cost is a bullshit reason for something as simple as that. pets cost money. people are usually aware of this when they get them

agreed. but i cannot stand it when people let them roam free over the neighbourhood.

Definitely. My neighborhood has a stray cat problem. I would gladly call you over if you came with a rifle to take care of them all. :D

They are the loudest things at night. And they crap on my garden. Nice as a pet, horrible as a pest.

Re Names:
Where I lived previously, the cat was named 'Beefy'. My friend got a cat, and my favorite suggestion was Wilson because it was shaped like a beachball, but it ended up being a female, so it was named Sheena, because Sheena is a punk rocker. My roommate's cat is named Mrrrh, because that's the sound it makes. Another friend has a rabbit named Puppy. I imagine this could work for a cat too.

That was the case of my dog. She had obviously been abused, cause she always had an incredible fear of broomsticks and that sort of objects. We never slap her or anything cause her reaction is impossible to describe.
When we brought her home she had given birth recently. I wonder what they did to her puppies. She also had a huge tumour. Fortunately, with some investment, we saved her.
Now she's a great friend and does all the sort of nice things you talk about. So you can see how relaxed she is, she even accepted LotusLocost at our place. :D
I think mine might have recently had pups at the time also, There are some c$#ts out there that only keep them on for the pups to sell them, Then get rid of the mother and keep a couple of the pups to breed again but sell most of them.
MY dog wouldn't let Clutch_Monkey in lol she would smell his little bottle and cloth:p

This is the case at my sisters house, There is currently 10+ stray cats around her front, She hates cats. One of few years back was slightly ran over by a car out front, They were fighting running crazy and a car passing hit the last one, It wasn't a pretty sight it rolled into the gutter and made me sick as hell thrashing around with blood spitting out, We thought the only human thing to do would be grab a very large bit of wood and dong it we had no guns or anything like that, Could take hours for anyone to come out the cat was going to die how it was kicking still we dont know.
But this is 2 years ago and the cat problem is still here, We are 99% sure they are strays and very ferrell. Problem is there not in the one spot to long for anyone to catch,, So then there only night time which i wouldn't think they would love to work night hours trying to catch this many.

The only real experience with cats was at one of my "bad" friends' place. Once they had another nest and couldn't keep the 8 kittens. We killed them before dumping them in the sea. If you ever need advice, it's very easy. The neck snaps easily.

Are you f ucking serious? You're the biggest piece of shit I've ever heard of in my life. Even though you're an atheist I hope you burn in hell.

While I'm not a cat person, I always enjoyed the thought of buying an egyptian hairless, just for the sheer ugly and Mr. Bigglesworth effect.

I'm sure this cat will love you forever if you look after it, and don't break it's neck. It's a bummer someone knew what to do with a baby Drakkie, instead of, say, taking it to an animal shelter where, yeah, it might have died. but at least it would have been comfortable.

What's the rest of the story?

Regardless, he could've got his stoned, drunk, cat-neck-snapping ass up and taken them to a shelter where people who actually have a respect for life could have adopting them into a loving home.

In my defence. The kittens did not suffer at all.
In your defence, shut up.

You need to take pictures of it doing silly things, and add humorous captions.
