Little Mac syndrome. Cat people have a way higher population on the internet since dogs encourage people to go outside and run around, whereas owning a cat encourages people to video them and upload it to youtube.

I hate dogs and the only thing keeping me from kicking any stupid dog I see in its stupid dopey face is the fact I would be no better than a dog owner if I gave into that sweet temptation. Kill all dogs.

Cats are the best animal. They are fluffy and small.

Cats are generally quiet also you don't have to get up first thing in the morning and walk them, you can just lie in bed. If you have an auto feeder or have made an effort to disassociate you feeding them with getting up, the cat may not even wake you up!

All good cats are fluffy and small. A dog that is fluffy and small is merely a large breed of rodent to feed to a cat.

Also, cats are quiet. Even vocal cats are more quiet than dogs.

Trust me, you don't have to tell the police that it's doing something. The fact that it's a dog is already a death sentence.

because we are cat
Real quick, go find me a cat that will keep the entire drat neighborhood awake because it heard a squirrel fart three blocks away.

Seriously though, everyone I've ever met who had a cat/s that "kept pooping all over the house, I just don't know what to do" had one litter box for multiple cats and scooped it like once a week. I will never understand this. We had one box for two cats when I was growing up, it got scooped every morning before I went to school, and the cats never peed anywhere else unless they were sick. NOT DIFFICULT.

thats because if you have cats every single squirrel for 6 blocks is dead, as well as birds. They are destructive little bastards. I say this as a proud cat and dog owner.

The rise of coyote populations in suburban and exurban communities in New England has been hugely beneficial to migratory birds, because cats either stay inside or get picked off.

There still aren't significant coyote populations in my city, but they're probably coming. Wild turkeys are everywhere around here now.

We have a cat. He has a short leash for when he wants to go outside. Fucker must attract mice and rabbits to him for how many he manages to kill each spring and summer. He's on a 6 foot leash that's pegged into the ground when he isn't being taken for a walk, I'm surprised the local vermin haven't started referring to that area as the circle of death.

:catstare: Can you elaborate on this? Are you sure it's a cat and not some sort of small dog or pony?

Also, I bought a cast iron pan off a catboot last year. Best. Purchase. Ever. Seriously, sand it down with some steel wire, wipe it in fat, leave it in the oven on the top heat for a couple of hours, take it out and never wash it again. It shouldn't smoke, you may have forgotten to take the factory coating off if it was new.

#lifehacks Catboots are fantastic, over the past year I've spent about £18 and that got me a giant Le Creuset enamelled roasting dish, an enamelled crock pot type thing with no lid and an awesome frying pan. Still looking for a saucepan but I'll find one eventually. They're so heavy that people buy them, realise they can't be bothered to lift them and so sell them for pennies.

Funny, none of the 8 Siamese cats I've known have ever done that unless they're being driven to the vet or whatever.

When he wants to go outside, we have a leash that we attach him to so he doesn't run out into the street or into the garden and so we can keep an eye on him. Either he'll sit under the van watching birds or hide in the long grass and try to eat the birds/mice/bunnies/dogs.

Cat leaches aren't very weird, some cats have a lot of energy and curiosity, so taking them outside on a leash is better than them trying to run out of the door every time your open it.

The reaction you get from your cat when you first put the harness on them is pretty funny.

Is it weird that I freaking love their little weird voices? The little one is clearly freaked out by the big one.

My cat freaks out when I'm in the shower, too. She isn't afraid of water and I've had her since she was little so I know she has no traumatic experiences with water; she just hates when I'm in the shower. She's never been very vocal, just gets loud when she's hungry or I'm in the shower. Once I turn off the water, she walks away like nothing has happened. Occasionally she'll be extra affectionate because she's just so relieved that I survived the big water monster.

Life hack: if your cat does this, try not talking to it. Mine quiets down after a few minutes if I don't say anything.
