Since there are so many cat lovers around here, I thought I’d share this video of an adorable kitten who simply cannot stay awake…

  1. Graziano: Actually, her name is Desiree, and she lives in my house!!!

    Brian: Sick or what?

  2. The picture on the link is actually a pretty good likeness of my cat, size multiplied by about 10 of course. (as if she’s not enough of a nightmare the size she is)

    The running woman is supposed to be a depiction of me, but I am a tad better looking in person…lol 😉

  3. Nicholle, it’s pretty gross hearing you describe the cats appearence as a “dilating vagina”.

    Not only cats have slit looking things in their eyes. I know you only have the cat because of your husband, but at least show respect that HE loves the animal. He probably doesn’t appreciate you talking so horribly about it.

  4. Jamie: Thanks for your clean and honest opinion, but won’t you at the very least admit that really my choice of words is tame compared to that of many others on this bulletin, don’t you think?!?!

    And yes, I realize that cats are not the only things that have slit looking things in their eyes. So do snakes, and lizards and some other mammals.

    Of course, I show my husband the respect that he loves Desiree! I would never hurt her; mind you, I am rather indifferent to her, but I would never hurt her. I take care of her when he is away and give her whatever she needs. And he knows that! He and I are of similar senses of humor, and he has never indicated to me that he is anything other than amused by my crass remarks. Even he was amused by picture.

    A sense of humor (albeit a crass one) makes a big difference in how you perceive such a comment.

    If I had any inclination to think he felt slighted by my indifference to the cat, or by my off-color remarks, I would stop. Disrespect a person means intentionally hurting a person or disregarding their feelings. I make it a point not to do that.

  5. P.S. if you are really offended by the material, you are always free to skip over it!!!!

    That is the wonder of living in a democracy, the freedom to say what you please and the freedom not to listen!

  6. Alright, no problem. As long as you dont hurt the poor thing, its all good =]

    God Bless Yall

  7. Jamie: Thank you for the acknowledgement 🙂 Christ no, I would never hurt the poor cat!! What do you think I am??? Well, I guess you don’t know, because you have never met me….but everyone who knows me knows I would never hurt an animal! Slit-pupils or not!

    Graziano: You are funny! Porn star, lol. I guess to some people she might be, but not to us!! Even we are not quite that twisted.

  8. Graziano: I’ll have to ask my grandparents if they watched any of her movies the last time they were in Italy…

    Brian: The fact that you feel I’m weird and sick makes me feel accomplished. But what was weird and sick? My drawing, or the comment about Desiree the porn star.

    We don’t use the cat as a porn toy, if that is what you are thinking. We are not like that. It’s no accident, though, that our last name is …….

  9. Brian: Laughing my ass off!!!! I know the drawing is sick and weird, and I am quite proud of that!!!

    Thanks for clarifying, though. But even if you *did* think I was sick and weird, I wouldn’t mind. That is part of my charm!!!

    Graziano: Thanks for the link!!!

  10. I have had a cat for 1 month now and cant stand him. Does anyone in Auckland NZ want a cat? I googlized selfish cat and found this site. You people are my support group right now.

  11. Hi Aucklander: No I don’t live in New Zealand, but there are times in which I wish I did. About Toxoplasmosis, there is a posting a put up a few weeks ago about it; See my February 25 posting….

    Graziano: Yes, Toxoplasmosis *is* carried by cat. Meat can be infected (as you affirmed) if a cat has his teeth in it, but cats are the carriers, not meat.

    I don’t like cats much, but…

    Aucklander, toxoplasmosis will only be a problem if you have a pregnant female or a female who is intending to get pregnant in your household. To my knowledge, it is not harmful to males or non-pregnant females, only unborn fetuses. And even if that is the case, as long as the woman has no physical contact with the cat or doesn’t clean out the cat’s box, she is in no danger.

    I believe that vets have a test to check for the protozoa. You may want to take yours to be checked to put your mind at ease.

    So unless you have people living in your house that can be harmed by TP, I would not get rid of the cat just for that reason. Especially if there are other household members who care about the cat.

    Hope this helps 🙂

  12. Oh, and this is a good one, for those of you who still think lions are “The Kings of The Jungle.”

    If anyone of you lives in NJ, USA, and caught the Nature special on lions on NJN, you will agree with me that they are among the most nauseating and pathetic members of the order mammmalia (not far behind certain humans):

    People think theyre great hunters….80% of hunts are failures, and only lionesses are fast enough to catch even the smallest of prey. The males survive by stealing their food from lionessses (big men) or chasing away smaller carnivorous mammals and birds for scavenging carrion.

    Devoted parents, nope….even after giving birth, the lionesses could care less if their cubs are receiving proper nourishment. The only nurse when they feel like it, not when the cubs are hungry, and once the cubs are able to eat solids, they lionesses beat them away until *they* are done eating what they want, annd if theres nothing left for the cubs, too bad….Male lions take over prides and kill any cubs that they haven’t fathered. For these reasons, less than half of cubs live to be 1 year old (but I guess that can be a good thing)

    Then to make it even more interesting, the mothers of the cubs that have been slaughtered screw the male lions that killed them and have *their* babies….sick

    Sounds like a lot of people I’ve met over the years.

    Maybe instead of “King of the Jungle,” we should all call them “Welfare Queen of the Jungle.” LOL

    And no, I am not trying to start a campaign to wipe lions off of the face of the map, so don’t get you nose hairs in an uproar…

    If you care to reply to this, please don’t do so by telling me that all mammals are like this. Besides lions and many humans, the majority of mammals will fight and die to protect their babies. Even the smallest creepy crawlies like guinea pigs and hamsters. And even most hunting mammmals have enough decency to find their own food….Hm, maybe my parents were really lions…..

  13. Nicholle: Was your feb.25 post the one where i put in the wrong words? P.S. Oops, I was trying to say “If cats are great why do they GIVE miscarriages and deformed babies?”

  14. Aucklander: I don’t live in New Zealand, either, but I am so happy I don’t have a cat as a pet!

  15. Brian: Yep, that was the one. I figured that was what you were trying to say, but I just wanted to make sure everyone else knew. I am a teacher, so it’s a habit with me.

    Aucklander: Just so you know, Wikipedia has lots of good information on it, but it is not officially regulated and sanctioned by any publishers or researchers. So it is not always up to date and/or accurate. Most of the info on toxoplasmosis from what I can tell is legitimate, but really anyone can put information they want to in any Wikipedia entry, so you have to be careful and take any info from Wikipedia with a grain of salt.

    If I wanted to, I could log onto Wikipedia, pull up an entry on guinea pigs, and then add into the entry myself that humans and guinea pigs can mate and have children together. And there it would be for all cyber-eternity.

  16. Thanks for all the kind words, you people are good folks. TP or not, its just his bum in your face, ignore when you attend to him, thankless, I’m the boss personality that grinds me down. I don’t like him. He’s 3 yrs old, comes from a much larger household where he was dominated by a larger cat and in turn dominated his smaller brother. Who I liked, but escaped out of a window on day 3 of 1st week locked in the house and who only appears briefly from the scrub land near my home, and disappears again. He’s half wild anyways, and according to the woman who I received them from, only comes to the sound of biscuits rattled in a box and be gone again. Sigh, shame, I liked him. But am stuck with bossy big brother. Regarding TP. Asians, indians, polynesians in fact just about all non western cultures abhor the idea of cuddling cats, cats on beds etc. I also think as an abberation to western isolationist distant awkward family relations the cat has become a perverse second place to the real joy of intimacy. Gross generalisation. Actually, George was a wonderful cat. A persian with a fantastic personality owned by a girl couple who lived up the road. Gregarious and well loved by all, everyone fed him…Cats are probably just like people, good and bad in everyone. Everything in their place. Cats have served mankind for millenia, controlling vermin and consoling the lonely. What about that thing whereas if you had cats you could be a witch! They are tactile and soft, slow down your heart, ease your troubles, greet your return. Only thing is, I got given someones unwanted asshole. TP again. Seems compromised immunity and TP dont mix. Aids sufferers are wary. Me thinks, compromised immunity is bigger than most would like to admit nowadays, not only wikipedia, but many studies seem to postulate grumpiness in men and promiscuity in women (amongst a myriad other bizarre ‘facts’) are caused by TP. My very healthy physically and emotionally chinese friends would never dream of touching a cat let alone handling one. YUK! I feel better now. Thank you. Anyone want a nice cat?

  17. Aucklander: Well, sounds like you know a tad more than you let on!!!! You seem like quite the well-educated bloke!

    Since you asked, I still don’t want your cat! Sorry. But it is hard enough wishing that the one I have would just evaporate into the atmosphere. Were it not for my husband, I would have surrendered her to a rescue 3 years ago.

    VERY Perceptive observation about the “western isolationist distant awkward family relations” of western culture. Couldn’t agree with you more on that one. Western society has its priorities ass backwards.

    See, that’s why I like Australians (or in your case, New Zealanders). You can always count on them to point out the obvious fucked-up things about the world that everyone else *should* notice but pretends not to!

    Well put and well done, Aucklander 😉

  18. P.S. I can relate on the compromised immunity thing, too. I have Epstein-Barr, and it kicks the shit out of me. Debilitating fatigue, depression, muscle & joint pain, agressiveness, all kinds of wonderful things.

    You gotta love it.

  19. Hello, I dont and have never had any blogs that I’m a part of, until now maybe, however, my cat hate support group seems to comprise non haters with a curiosity for haters…its sometimes a strange world! Graziano, you have an interesting site! I really wish I could read Italian? Mystisism, is a bit of a favorite topic with me…My least favourite cats would be english blues, siamese, white cats and tourtose shells. I usually like seal point, burman, grey and ginger tabbys. The turkish strain are quite pleasant, though I cant recall their breed. If your wondering about New Zealand, its a great place if you like the outdoors, temperate, not too hot or cold, very green in color, though in an urban sense just like any where nowadays with fat kids in front of flickering screens, battery chicken like humans abound. I checked Epstein-Barr in wikipedia Nicolle, must be awful having to wait for better days. I’m of a recent mind that immunity, is a precious jewel that must be given far more attention in todays chemical and stress filled life. Not that I want to appear overly pragmatic or push the personal responsibility barrow, however, I have suffered cfs and liver related low levels of life quality personally myself, and generally see correlations between these times and my own habits, whether diet, emotional, or anything else that may induce stress within myself. In others I know with ms or cfs type issues I see highly charged intelligent individuals struggling with a world less ideal than they would like. I believe the ongoing, oh god not again, day in day out STRESS, of this unfortunate reality to be a HUGE contributing factor to these deseases. Its always there…I had a fun night yesterday, meet some good people, had some beers and lots of laughs. For me letting off a bit of steam increases my wellbeing. Even my cat ‘Tiddles’ seems less obnoxious…where was I? Regards Frank

  20. Frank: Thanks for your words of understanding 🙂 So glad to hear you had a fun night!

    Keep on posting, you’re an interesting dude 🙂

  21. Graziano: What do you mean by the worst cats race? I was not aware that cats raced! Do you mean “breed” or “type” of cat?

    If that is your question, there is no worst; I think they all suck….lol

    You know something, I think I caught fleas from my cat.

  22. Graziano: That’s what I thought; thanks for clarifying.

    As I said, I think they all suck 😉

  23. I think all dam cats should go to hell, i hate them , they piss on everything, and fuck your yard up by shitting in crap and digging up the garden:twisted: whenever im driving and i see a cat trying to cross the road, i floor it and try to hit it. And i usualy win, thats why i bought a sports car, to run over dam cats!!. If people want to have fucking cats, keep them INSIDE, and dont let them out, because they deserve to die!:grin::grin:

  24. My b.f. has a 10 year old cat. I fucking hate this little evil bitch more than anything. She doesn’t come near me or him until she needs food, then she’s “reearr rearr” outside our bedroom door and pawing at it at 2 a.m. until she gets her way. She moans evilly when anyone tries to pick her up, and she even bites people in the fucking face when they try to pet her. To those who say “cats don’t kill people, dogs do” Do you honestly think that if your cat were big & strong enough & had a large enough mouth that it wouldn’t run straight up to you and take a chunk out of your neck in the middle of the night? These fucking mangy discusting ass lickers are worthless & evil as hell. They remind me of satan’s spawn. Yes you may have to take your dog outside to go to the bathroom, just as wolves and other large cats do in the wild. It’s natural. At least they don’t shit & piss in your house. Litter boxes are fucking foul & stink. It really pisses me off when I’m eating & I hear a licking noise & I look over & the gross bitch has her head half-way up her ass. I then have to throw a remote control at her. I really want to snap her neck off. She sheds everywhere, she constantly licks herself. I see goobers all over her fur. She stinks, her litter stinks, she leaves poop dreadlocks all over the house INCLUDING in my baby’s bassinet. I am due in 8 days to have a baby. I want to get rid of this dumb cat but my b.f. won’t let me unless I can find her a home. Do you think anyone wants her?? FUCK NO!! Not even the people in his family who “love” cats & are acting like assholes toward me b/c I am looking out for my baby & want to get rid of her…they won’t even take her. My friend’s two year old daughter comes over and tries petting the cat & she hisses, tries biting, and bats at the little girl. I mean what the fuck is wrong with people when they won’t put their own babie’s safety before some old evil mangy gross unsanitary cat? And what the fuck is wrong with my b.f.’s family for giving 2 shits that I am having a baby & don’t want that cat around? Why the fuck don’t they take her then?? FUCK Them. Did I mention that the whore of a cat climbs & hides in my cupboards? She goes in her litter box, shits, pisses, and then climbs all over my dishes..Sick mother fucking evil cunt. I hate cats. And I hate people that like cats. They’re all lazy asses too fucking lazy to get a real pet (a dog) b/c a dog you have to invest some time in. Dogs will kill someone who harms their family. It is the pack instinct. Dogs are useful, they sniff out drugs, they do all kinds of helpful things to us. They want to please us. If you had a heart attack & died in front of your dog, your dog would mourn for you & stay by your side. Cats don’t need people. If you died in front of your cat, all it would do is cry at you when it was hungry, then it would eventually take bites out of you. Cats should never have been house pets. My entire family doesn’t like cats & we think people that like cats are fucked up in the head. Think about it..what good do they serve? For those cat lovers out there, try getting a pet dog & you’ll be amazed at what great companions they are compared to cats. I have a recurring dream that a cat is trying to kill me, and I have to strangle it to death, but when I think it’s dead, it comes back to life & tries killing me again. They are evil. If I weren’t such a nice person, I would take my .22 rifle and kill her. Believe me, I fantasize all the time about killing her.

  25. I don’t blame cats. I blame those who have them and let these creatures go astray, pissing here and there, pooing wherever they want etc.

    I wish, all irresponsible cat owner would rest in pee ..

  26. Word on that, IQA…..

    The people who owned our house before we bought it were cat freaks. The place didn’t smell when we decided to buy it or we would not have even considered buying it.

    The day we moved in, the place smelled like a fucking litterbox. Our allergies went haywire. I had two severe sinus infections in 3 months and spent a total of a month on antibiotics.

    When we finally got the time & money to start replacing stuff, we ripped up the carpets and reupholstered the kitchen bench seating. The plywood floors were completely stained brown and stinking of cat piss, and so was the cushioning in the bench seating. The shit was actually crytallized in the seat cushions. We had to replace it all.

    All of the floor vents for the central climate control were stuffed with kibble and cat litter. THese fucking cats used the entire house as a litterbox, and the owners just let them.

    I don’t know how the hell people can live like that. I don’t like cats anyway, but I only hated them more after moving in here. Dogs don’t do shit like that unless they are old and senile, and most people realize that that is when it’s time to help them over the bridge.

    Thank goodness, though, most of the crap has been torn out of here. THat’s to say nothing of the time and money we spent replacing it for the sake our health and the health of *our* pets.

    Fucking STANK.

  27. Ok does anyone have any ideas on how I can shorten the life span of this cat? She’s 10, but I know she will live to be 25 just to piss me off. I don’t want to poison her, as my b.f will know I did that. Something to maybe make her get diabetes or raise her chances of a heart attack? i can’t just let her outside either b/c she just comes back with fleas. I was thinking maybe buy some butter spray & put on all of her meals. Maybe she’d die of hypertension or something…I need something not obvious.

  28. FUCK CATS: You are sick, but I like you anyway!!!

    Sorry, but I don’t know of any insidious ways to end a cat’s life. Even if I did, I don’t think I could bring myself to do it.

    There are websites out there, I am sure, that have lists of things that are not good for cats. I am sure you can find something that might work on one of them. The thing is, though, that you will have to go looking for them on a website that is about how to care for cats. A website like that would have things that you should not do if you want to keep a healthy cat.

    Hope this helps.

    I have a feeling our cat is going to live to be 25 just to piss me off, too. Ironic that my guinea pigs only live to be 4 or 5, and I would give anything to make them live longer.
