Title: So I plan on getting a cat
Post by: Trump’s Niece on January 07, 2023, 08:45:04 PM
After I get over this crap. Been getting lots of good tips on how to care for one from Blaze and Dovey. Any suggestions are appreciated.





I want a fluffy Persian kitty but I'm not driving out of state to get one. Where should I get one? It's best to start with a kitten, right?

Shen Li hates fluffy cats.



Too much flossing

Long-haired breeds are generally high maintenance.

Aside from the regular brushing/combing (not just to control loose hair around your house- also to prevent them from horking up so many hairballs or getting intestinal blockages) you have to stay alert for butt nuggets clinging to their backside or they'll make a mess everywhere they sit and the nuggets are liable to fall off anywhere... usually in places you're bound to step on them. And if they get diarrhea? Hoo boy. Maybe you'll get lucky and find that one cat in a thousand that likes baths. LoL



Bonding with a kitten is easier than bonding with a cat.

Some interactive toys (something as simple as a fuzzy ball on a string or feathers on a stick will do) and lots of cuddle time should do the trick.



Cats are nothing like dogs... if a cat's on the counter and you tell it to get down it's 50/50 whether it'll listen or just look at you like you're crazy. Believe me I know it's tempting, but don't get in the habit of yelling at the cat when it's "misbehaving". For one thing the cat will become accustomed to it so you'll have to start yelling more and louder until you pop a blood vessel or something. For another thing the cat will hate it and eventually start to dislike you for doing it and then you'll start getting all sorts of behavior problems.



Patience and consistency are key, plus of course never make the cat think you don't love it.



They remember that shit.

Ugh.  I love cats, my whole life, but I would advise against long-haired ones for so many reasons.

He means they get turds in their fur and you have to remove them.

Hairballs are also more likely with Persians.  And they're not as cute and fluffy as they sound.

I love cats too Erica.



That would be my first choice as a pet too.



There's a fluffy furry calico Persian cat on my block.

It's really adorable with fur balls hanging on its side.



Sometimes she allows me to approach and pet her.



I might get a cat one day - but it wouldn't be in an apartment where I currently live.



Probably some place out of the city on some island where there's plenty of space and fresh air for the cat to roam around.

Cats need space. Maybe not quite as much as dogs, but a backyard lush in vegetation helps.



It gives them a place to wander and to explore, eh?

Lol, I dont do long hair cats either. My allergies cant take it.





Lol, butt nuggets. Use to be a stray around here, I called her Shit Butt hahaha. Cause she always had shit hanging off her long ass hairs lol.



Kittens are best indeed for raising/training. I did adopt an adult cat that was great too though. But like us, a lot of adults are set in their ways.



My cats KNOW what counters in here they cant get on. I reserve one for them, away from any food prep, its more like my mechanic/project counter lol. They will patiently sit on that and watch me. Only beef I have is this one cat likes to scratch my couch on the side. I cant control her when I aint here. But when I get on her, the fear goes into her eyes, and she stops lol.



Yeah, if you got leather sofas, cats gonna ruin it if they get up on it. Jus by running across it.







Fuck, theres a damn cat food shortage right now. Having a hell of a time finding some.

Persian cats are pricey. I have a ragdoll and pure breeds start at around AU $800.00.



It would be cool if you were to adopt a cat and give it a second chance in a forever home. You also need two so they don't get bored shitless when you're working.

How often do you have to comb/brush it?



Unlike Senile Joe who thinks matted fur is "adorable", I know they can be painful and even cause conditions requiring medical treatment if left unchecked.

I brush him and his brother daily because they enjoy it. I have to trim him around the arse occasionally because he'll sometimes get a dag there. It's an effort to keep him still. He doesn't shed as much as his brother though, who looks more like a shorthair.

This^. Far too many christmas presents are growing up on the streets or getting euthanized in shelters because unthinking owners found out too late "those kittens grow up".



I get it; kittens are cute as fuck. They also have a ton of energy which can get a little wearing after a while, whereas with a shelter cat you can get a much clearer idea of the personality (fursonality?) your little ball of fluff is bringing to your household since they've already developed it.



Ten years ago, these were things my then g/f and I considered when we wandered into the local shelter looking to adopt. The cat my g/f had her heart set on had been claimed about half an hour before we got there, we stuck about and took a peek at some of the others. There sure were a lot of them, over a hundred if I were to guess.



I remember walking into this glassed in room with close to a dozen strays of different varieties, hissing and yowling at each other. One of them, a new arrival I'm guessing, was slinking along in the corner as if it were terrified of putting a paw wrong. And one tabby in a cat basket away from it all, chilling out with a total deficit of fucks to give about the proceedings. I wandered over to get a better look - around two years old, a total bruiser who I later learned had been a street cat hanging out in the alley behind a chinese restaurant a couple of suburbs away. Polydactyl too, paws looked like cabbages, a different number of toes on each one. Never even knew that was a thing until that morning. I gave his ears a little scratch, which he nuzzled his head in against. I was sold by the time my g/f wandered in to be greeted with the same placid friendliness. And after half an hour or so of paperwork, the three of us left together, with me doing the lugging of the cat carrier. Man that bugger was heavy!



I'm not going to pretend it was all beer and skittles. My girlfriend and I had wanted a mature cat precisely because we were in an apartment and didn't particularly relish the idea of a kitten roaring through the room knocking shit over and getting under out feet. Which after the initial first impression Leroy (later renamed Dozer) gave us at the shelter, was precisely what he did the minute we let him out of the carrier in his new home. Tearing through the lounge room, shooting in under the bed and out again, having a high old time exploring his new digs. For two fucking weeks. More than once I reflected on my ability to attract trolls, heh.



He did settle down though, reverting to the same chill that had endeared us to him in the first place. He loved to play with the kinds of toys Vitriol mentions above, would stash them about his cat basket and was in the habit of leaving one on the bed if my girlfriend and I left the apartment for any appreciable length of time. And I'd get him chasing those toys like crazy, or simply roughhouse with him for exercise, which earned me my share of scratches and bites, but all in good fun. Keeping his claws out of the furniture was a thing, but the addition of a scratching post, a little patience and the association of claw clippers with a couple of treats soon fixed that. Didn't stop him from being the quintessential mouser, something polydactyls were prized for on ships long ago. Long after my girlfriend and I broke up and I had moved out, he would still recognize my footsteps in the hall outside and be there at the door to greet me whenever I visited. Every other guy who came to visit... from friends and family to random canvassers... he'd hide from. Usually disappearing under the bed or sofa for extended periods before venturing out cautious of whoever happened to be visiting, a habit he never got out of till the day he died.



So yeah, I'm going to stand with Breakfall on this one. That "second chance" was worth its weight in gold and good memories. Erica, you can do a lot worse than to check out a few animal shelters for rescue cats to see if there's any you click with. It's easy to say "I'd like cute" or "I like fluffy", but the companionship of the right pet will trump all of that in my experience. At the very least it's something you should be open to the idea of.

All the cats I've had, since I've been an adult out on my own lol, were either adopted from a shelter (first one), or taken in from outside (3), and the one that we found in an alley in a box near my in-laws. All been great. The beauty of the outdoor ones, is you each earn respect and love from one another, before actually inviting one in. I still got strays outside, but I can only take so many inside due to my allergies, so they have to wait their turn usually lol. Wanted to bring Midnight in, but he's a bully to most other cats, which is why I brought this one cat inside at the time in the first place, cause he was mean to her lol. Hes sweet as can be on his own though. I made him into a brute lol, from being scrawny. So he simply protects my outdoors lol. Brings me Moles and BlueJays and mice lol. I'd take all these strays in if I could lol. Had this one crazy idea once, of building a tiny home for them outside, and running one of my heat vents off the house into it lol. But then I realized, it would be more than jus the strays that were here. Like possums and such lol. Inside the house, if a spider gets in or a stink bug or a moth, the cats are first on it, playing with it lol.



So many strays I miss, aint around anymore. Like Tripod, she only had 3 good legs. But she could run and swipe at other cats at the same time lol, and climb trees. There was Nikolai Kittycoff, a brute Russian gray that loved sitting with me by the camp fire. Sparky, poor thing got hit by a car in the curve. Old man down there hated cats, but he loved that one, so he took him. Both died around the same time, he fell down the stairs not long after Sparky died. Old lady there told me how much he loved that cat, and they buried him on the hill in the Pet Cemetary.



I remember seeing a hawk once, swoop down, and pick up a kitten and fly away with it. All you heard was "MeEeeeeeeooooooooowwwwwww" as the hawk flew away with it.



I couldnt stand this one kid. He was EVIL. Stomped a kitten once. I buried the poor thing. I didnt see it, but my son said his friend saw it. He went to juvie jail for a bit off and on. Evil fucking kid.



Damn coffee got me talking lol.

Leather is almost unavoidable, unless you can keep the claws clipped, or train them to stay off it.



Otherwise, get a scratching post, and put cat nip on it. That will train them to scratch that. Some are finnicky, as in some like soft fabric posts, vs others.



I've never had an issue with any of my cats, and kids. Pebbles was a male, and a sweetheart. He was kinda feminine though  :laugh:



All depends on the cat really.



You'll for sure want to teach the kids to "be easy" with kitty. If not, the cat will more likely return the animosity towards the small child. Cant be throwing a giant Batman at the kitty  :laugh:  Give kitty love, it will do the same. Be mean to kitty, it will hide from you, and not take to you.

It's not just the cat, it's the family that adopts him too. Think for a minute - you came in asking about cats so you might learn a bit more, your littlies are likely no different and might need a little guidance similar to what you've received here. Most shelters I know of will let you know what (if any) issues your cat might have before you adopt him, the rest is really down to the environment you are bringing Tibbles into.



If there's one constant I know where cats are concerned it's that unlike dogs, they are not a pack animal and generally will not keep getting in your face if they've decided it's alone-time. If things are not to their liking, they'll find a place where they can not be bugged, so if someone is in the habit of tormenting it (pulling tails, putting stickytape on their paws etc) a cat will take to avoiding them like the plague.



Give them affection and care, you'll get it back in spades. A cat you've cared for will care for you, chilling out with you when you're sick or blue, curling up in your lap and purring when you're in the mood to relax and so on.


Quote from: "Erica Mena" post_id=490490 time=1673198084 user_id=2845I heard cats take in their owners attitudes :laugh:

They certainly develop audible cues to get your attention. Studies have indicated they develop their miaows to best attract the owners attention, but a good slice of their communication is done with tail movements and very little with their vocalizations.

I heard cats take in their owners attitudes :laugh:


I have read this thread and there is a lot of good information, IMO.



I grew up with cats as pets and have had two as an adult.  My wife wants one but our dog is cat aggressive so it is not an option for (hopefully) a while.



All my cats were strays that we took in.  We treated them all the same, but they all had different personalities.  Some shelters will try to give you an idea about a cat's personality, but I think it is really hard to tell without spending some quality time with each cat and that can be difficult in a busy shelter.



Erica, do you have the option of volunteering with your kids at the local shelter?  In my city's Humane Society, there are volunteers who just spend time with cats petting them and playing with them.  There are parents who do this with their children.  I think it is a great way to get yourself and your kids used to cats.  And you would probably find one (hopefully just one or two!) that you fall in love with and will want to adopt.

If things are not to their liking, they'll find a place where they can not be bugged, so if someone is in the habit of tormenting it (pulling tails, putting stickytape on their paws etc) a cat will take to avoiding them like the plague.



Give them affection and care, you'll get it back in spades. A cat you've cared for will care for you, chilling out with you when you're sick or blue, curling up in your lap and purring when you're in the mood to relax and so on.


Quote from: "Erica Mena" post_id=490490 time=1673198084 user_id=2845I heard cats take in their owners attitudes :laugh:

They certainly develop audible cues to get your attention. Studies have indicated they develop their miaows to best attract the owners attention, but a good slice of their communication is done with tail movements and very little with their vocalizations.






I think the kiddos will love a cat. They already love coming to grandmas, this will make it extra special.

Poor Joe. He gets it from all ends lol


I think it's because of my dark luscious full head of hair, Erica.



Men like Herman and TheProwler get jealous very easily.



As their hairlines recede, it reminds them of the Youth they've lost & no longer have.



Even on the Internet, my hair follicles doth shine through & pierce the screen of posters here.



Some just can't take it you know.  :icon_wink:

Even if you were telling the truth, that is the best reason for guys to shave their heads. Has a full head getting you laid? No, so shave your  imaginary hair and maybe you will get some pretend sex.

I heard cats take in their owners attitudes :laugh:


It wont "scratch" them, it will know better for the most part, depending on the situation. It will instead beat the child with its paws if it dont like the child, for reasons  :laugh:



My lil brother, that happened to him lol, with my cat.



If that was true about cats having owners attitudes, she will be getting butt injections and eating tamales in no time  :laugh:

I brush him and his brother daily because they enjoy it. I have to trim him around the arse occasionally because he'll sometimes get a dag there. It's an effort to keep him still. He doesn't shed as much as his brother though, who looks more like a shorthair.


You shave your cats asshole so it looks more like you, dont lie  :laugh:

If you get one cat get two so they can keep each other company. Best would be to get two kittens from the same litter if you can find it. Get multiple litter boxes and scratching posts too.



A good place to start would be to watch this guy's videos, he knows everything about cats - https://www.youtube.com/@JacksonGalaxy

One of those big, colorful parrots would be nice.



I would just let it fly free in the house.



Teach it to speak.





Teach it to only crap in the designated area.





I could let it fly outside during summer... I'm guessing a cat-sized parrot wont be hard to find..

I could put one of those small gps tags on it.



You can probably train to come back when commanded to.

He probably doesn't trust himself. From quite a young age I realised women loved my arsehole. At first I thought it was just my first encounter, but low and behold it was every single chick. So for me, keeping my arsehole sparklingly clean is of the utmost importance lest I don't get analingus. Don't get me wrong...it's not all-consuming, but it's definitely a part of the foreplay.



I'm learning how to play the ukulele presently. The string chords from the top are: G,C,E,A.

How I remember them is by reciting the words: Girls crave eating arse! Lol



PS: I believe people in America keep a dirty arse, so I can understand how it's probably a bit taboo and frowned upon or even deemed as disgusting.

Wasn't a single bag of Friskies or Meow Mix or any of the others. They still had wet cat food so I got a few boxes but things are really getting strange out there.

How much of it relies on supplies being routed through Californian ports? With the way Newsom is fucking about with the logistics chains (especially regarding trucks) I fancy that might be your answer.





Maybe start trapping some local wildlife. Some cats enjoy a bit of fresh meat.

What the hell is going on with dry cat food? I went to Wal-Mart today and the shelves were empty except for those Iam bags that nobody buys because they cost 17 bucks each. Wasn't a single bag of Friskies or Meow Mix or any of the others. They still had wet cat food so I got a few boxes but things are really getting strange out there.

Same. Gotta try some place that one doesnt normally get cat food, like Kroger. I found a bag of Meow Mix there.



Its how I get some things these days, buy 'em at places that one doesnt think. Like getting motor oil at Home Depot lol.



Gotta ask the clerks, what day the truck comes too. That helps with some things. If they get it Wednesday night, you go Thursday morning.



Last week, I mentioned this cat food shortage as well. I even got on Amazon, and Chewy, neither had it, which is shocking.

My favorite is when you're lying there, just about to drift off, and hear off in the distance a dreaded:



HRUuck-HRUuck-HRUuck-*blahrg*



You know if you ignore it you'll forget in the morning and step on it because it's invariably someplace you *will* be walking.

What's with the cats who think a gravity-assisted hurl is the best way to go?

They seem to need to be at least on the back of a chair or a couch but if they have time they'll get atop a bookshelf or some other elevated position.



Maybe they're just artists?

From that distance they do achieve some pretty gnarly splatter patterns.

Well they could come into the house during the day time but at night would retire to the sleeping quarters. So that way theyd crap in the cat house as opposed to your home or living room.

That's no excuse. I presently live in a semi-rural area and am traveling a fair bit during the day. Cat owners will know what I mean when I say I cannot afford the time to properly look after a cat. They are hunters by nature and given to roaming wherever the mood takes them. Training them to do anything requires a full time effort for even a chance at a semi-passable result.

You could build one but most pet cars are going to want to spend time with his people.  Ours usually sleeps in bed with us because he wants to petted, he wants soft pillows, and especially he wants to know when my wife wakes up so he can demand his breakfast.

Get a female cat. Male cats get crystal growths in their urinary tract which lead to big vet bills or having to get the cat put down.

thats cuz they dont drink enough water but it can be avoided if they get canned food only
