Anybody have a good recipe for cat?

[TXlib]

One of our cats puked on our new, $950 couch today. I discovered it at 9pm when I got home, and it was hard and crusty. I don't even want to deal with it today.

I usually like the cats just fine, when the whole family's home.

But KCDem and kids went to visit her parents for two weeks, so the cats are alone all day and get up to no good. I think they're pissed at me for being alone all day.

Last year, when she was away, the cats shit AND pissed on our bed!

And they KNEW they did wrong; when I came home, instead of greeting me, they cowered and hissed at me. And that was BEFORE I found the shit on our bed, so I hadn't shown them any anger.

Fuckers.

1. Cats are EVIL

If they weren't so cute and furry we'd realize what sadistic mean-spirited little fuckers they are. :-)

2. Three steps:

1. Rename cat "Snack".
2. Drop off at Robb's house to play with the sled dogs.
3. Enjoy!

FWIW, give them a pet and try to avoid over-anthropomorhpizing them. With a brain the size of a walnut, hey, they're just cats!

3. they're not stupid

they know you're not the primary care giver and they're punishing KCDem for going away and leaving them with you

my ex's cat used to crap on his bed when he went away for more than a day or so.


JUST CATS????? WHAT THE F**K? hehe

4. Would they go well with a nice Chianti and fava beans?

5. One of my cats gets a bug up her butt about once a year

and pees on the bed... or more accurately some article of clothing that's balled up or laid out on the bed that either didn't make it to the hamper or was intended to be worn later.

But that's it. And I don't know for the life of me why because otherwise she's a perfect angel, as are our other two kitties. In fact, our newest addition, Shakey (named due to the fact that he was originally a stray - and totally emaciated - and when we first began feeding him he'd be so delighted that the tip of his tail would shake like a rattlesnake's) is so into trying to emulate human bahavior that he literally sweeps around the food dish and the litter box every time he eats or goes potty, trying to pull any stray crumbs / bits of litter towards the dish / litterbox so we won't step on them in our bare feet.

Your guess is very likely correct, in that your cats experience separation anxiety or even depression when KCDem is gone. They are probably just trying to lure her back with their scent. This works wonderfully for felines but obviously not so well for humans (unless they're from Alabama and married to their cousins). So, while it may be highly annoying it isn't meant to be. As long as it's not a constant problem then try not to stress about it too much. What else can you do?

6. Even feral cats aren't anti-social to the hand that feeds

them unless you do some serious limiting of their space. Also puking is common to cats and means they have some problems like hair balls or even more serious problems. I have found that anti-social behavior in kitty is usually more often physical rather than psychological problem. So do try to be kind.

7. I'm not mean to them...

i tossed them into the garage with their litter box for the night, but that's mainly to make sure the puking is done, rather than for revenge.

But I'm laughing way too hard to be offended!

12. Cats can stay in a large Kennel crate

for a whole day and not cause mischief, before you go to work Kennel them and when you get home Play with them ,don't ignor em'''' they get pissed.

[TXlib]

14. Can they stay in an itty bitty kennel crate?

How bout a shoebox?

matchbox?

15. What the hell do we keep them for?

When I got home from work tonight, one of my cats had pooped on the floor, AND there were two spots of puke/hairballs one upstairs and one downstairs. Of course all three spots were on CARPET!!!!

They redeem themselves though when they come and cuddle. Even if they only do that once in a blue moon.:shrug:

16. It wouldn't be natural if they didn't mark rugs and furniture

Every time one of my cats :puke: he makes sure that he has eaten something with a red dye in it so that it will stain whatever he is puking on.

17. Mine do things like that too, and it usually

indicates that they are pissed about something. In my case, it happens with some frequency when mommy comes for a visit. They have become accustomed to being with dad and are used to my schedule, which usually includes a nap in the afternoon (between classes, I have to catch up with myself). When the schedule is disrupted, they respond by leaving tootsie rolls in the dining room, or the throw rug in the utility room. After she leaves they go right back to their litter boxes, as if nothing had happened (I sometimes hear them whistling while they do it too!) I most definitely anthropomorphize the cats, and they try to felinomorphize me (why can't you understand what I'm saying dad? you're just being vengeful by giving me the yucky tuna stuff 'cause you wouldn't eat it yourself!):evilgrin:

33. any recipe for rabbit should work just fine...

After ww2 in Italy, skinned cats were often sold at market as rabbit.
To this day there is still a law that a skinned rabbit must be sold with it's paws attached for identification. *
