2. If my cat were the same size as me.......

...she would understand why I'm not always "on target" when
using her litter box.

3. You're essentially asking what if you had a domesticated cougar around the house.
I'm sure it would get ugly at some point.

21. Same here.
That's if their farts didn't asphyxiate me first. There would be no way I could fit both of them on my lap at the same time, either. And, I'd be relegated to one tiny corner of my queen-size bed. Oh, wait... Make that: I'd be sleeping on the floor. I'm already shoved into one corner of the bed.

It wouldn't be pretty.

16. Dead. My old kitty Linus hated when the husband or I would
get worked up over sports and he would simply go nuts on us. This happened twice. He "attacked" my husband when he got upset over USC beating Notre Dame with the Leinart/Bush push and he "attacked" me when I was watching, and super excited, WVU hitting alot of three pointers in the NCAA tourney a few years ago. We both would be gone.

he would attack when we hooted and hollered playing video games or watching sports.

17. I would never be allowed out of the house...

35. I think we all would be. Or they would play too roughly with us and finish us off that way.

26. Really, really big litterbox.
Heh.

If my current cats were magically made huge, I doubt they would hurt me. After all, they do usually take care not to bite hard or claw hard. However, I think that's just because they were born small and are used to me being in charge. Had they grown up being large, though, I doubt they would have the same idea.

27. I wouldn't be able to ignore the 5am wake up calls
that's for sure. He weighs next to nothing now, but if he was my size I couldn't ignore his body weight on my chest. He'd kick the shit out of me to feed him.

Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 05:05 PM by BrklynLiberal
I have 6 cats and a German Shepherd. The GSD would suffer the most, I guess...but I cannot even imagine the food bills.

31. Love Bites would mean a trip to the ER!
Food bills would be pretty high, so I guess I'd have to take her out to find stray little yapping dogs for protein.

Teach her to hold it until after dark, then go do it in the neighbor's yard.

If the late Jello Biafra feline of mine was my size, well, he used to sneeze in my face to wake me up....at my size he'd blow me out of the bed! He also used to hook my face with a claw to get me up...that would be a trip to the plastic surgeon.

32. Well, I don't have a cat
but if I did, and he/she was my size, I fear survival of the fittest would be foremost on my mind.

38. Well, she sleeps on my shoulder everynight
and she'd eat a lot more. And when she headbutts me it would probably hurt.

39. I would have scratches all over my torso instead of just my hands. Mine
loves to grab my hands with his paws and play bite me. Sometimes it really hurts.
