I love cats, but not everyone does: 8 Reasons to Hate Cats, 8 More Reasons to Hate Cats, Yet Another 8 Reasons to Hate Cats and finally Hey! There Are 8 More Reasons to Hate Cats. (Look At This…)

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. FUCK CATS: You are not the only person in this page that has a whole family that hates cats and loves dogs. My family in Peru (yes, I speak Spanish and I am Hispanic) they absolutely despise cats. I do too. And you were right about “cat lovers should get a dog to compare how good they are compared to cats”.

  2. Brian: You are Peruvian? I never would have guessed. Brian is not a typical Hispanic name.

    I speak some Spanish, and many of my students come from Peru.

    Yes, you are right, people need a real pet like a dog to realize how much cats suck. I think cats are the poorest excuses for a pet that ever existed.

    They say you don’t own cats; they own you. And that is the truth. They could give a shit about their “owners.” They want what they want when they want it. Fuck everything else. Even our cat is a “good” cat, but she doesn’t care about pleasing us, just about pleasing herself. SHe shoves herself in your face whehter you like it or not, and she doesn’t care if she’s bothering you. And if she doesn’t get what she wants, she starts doing obnoxious shit like running at your feet or scratchign the couch. Or she breaks out of the house and runs away for the night. That’s a pet? Please. I wish the fuck she would run away for good.

    When a person acts that way, they call them a psychopath. Or a three-year old spoiled brat who needs her SPOILED BRAT FUCKING ASS BEAT.

  3. A lot of people on this blog have a cat…why?? The only reason I have one is b/c my b.f. has had the bitch for 10 yrs..and I came along later so I’m stuck with her b/c no one wants her. And he doesn’t want her put down…how tragically sad would our lives be without her dumb ass sitting on our couch 24/7?? She hides until she wants something anyways so tell me what is the point of having her around? Why care if this personality less lump of fur isn’t on the couch anymore? When she bats her paws at my puppy and hisses just for him coming near her, I want to kick her like a football. He is a 4 month old pit bull. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. I wish I could get him to hurt her. Why oh why do I have to live with this cat?? It’s seriously a problem. I am actually thinking about leaving my b.f. because I just don’t understand what kind of person prefers a pet that just sits around all day & glares at you with discust. If I were in a position to leave, I would tell him to go fuck the cat b/c he obviously cares more about her than me & his soon to be baby. I found a lump of her shit on a couch pillow today. Gross waste of life.

  4. Fuck Cats: Yes, Cats are a waste of a life.

    But I wouldn’t leave your boyfriend and the father of your unborn child over a fucking cat. That is letting the cat win… Do you really want to to that? That is what the cat wants. Why give it the satisfaction?

    Since you are wondering, the *only* reason I have a cat is because at our last apartment, the thing magically appeared and begged to come in one winter. It was all skinnny and disheveled. I had never had a cat before, and I figured it would be cool because my mother-in–law talks about cats like their the second best thing to having an orgasm or something. Me, I didn’t know any better. I had only had guinea pigs, dogs, hamsters and chinchillas.

    We didn’t have the thing three weeks before I wanted to drop kick it through the fucking ceiling. Mind you I never would, but the thought crosses my mind from time to time. Now my husband is attached to the thing, thats the only reason she is still living in my house.

    Last summer, our neighbors threw out a cat that came beggin to us for help. And sucker that I am, again, I let it in. It was in our house 3 hours and it was attacking our cat, stalking my guinea pigs and running up from behind me and shredding my bare legs and tearing my hair out. I told my hub I was putting it back out, and he’s like, “You can’t do that! We have a responsibility.” And I was like, “What fucking responsiblity? The white trash next door dumps their cat, so it becomes our responsibility?”

    So I put up with it for one more day, and then finally the next morning the cat attacked me from behind and I flew into this black rage and hurled it across the living room. Then the thing had the nerve, after hitting the wall, to attack me again. My husband had to stop me from stomping on it. I was so mad I couldn’t even think.

    We got into this huge, pointless bullshit argument over a fucking piece of shit cat and finally he put it out when he realized that if he didn’t I was going to find an extended stay hotel somewhere and let him live with the fucking monster until he got his priorities straight. I actually told him to “fuck the cat,” too. I wonder how many other people have actually said that. I have a feeling many.

    Anyway, a few weeks later, I found the lowlife neighbors’ cat convulsing on my porch from starvation and heat stroke, and I took it to a rescue/emergency clinic and surrendered it for adoption. I think it found a good home.

    So, FUCK CATS, I know how you feel about this shit with your boyfriend and his cat. But it’s not worth destroying your relationship over. And your boyfriend and you should know that it is unhealthy for pregnant women and babies to live with a cat. Very unhealthy. See Aucklander’s post on Toxoplasmosis a few blogs up.

  5. Hi again! Hey FUCK CATS, Nicolle may have just found the way to ditch that asshole moggy for good. Cats ARE bad for babies and pregnancy. You could start with the guilt trip: ‘do you realize the risk to the unborn child we have been ignorant of…” show some info from the net, then, after a while of working him with that, find some more scathing evidence of the risk to babies…however, he may come back with the pit bull argument…Anyways, can anyone say why the egyptians revered these things? Were they satanists or was it cause they protected the grain from vermin. I think cats are okay to keep for vermin, rats chew electric cables and cause fires, my fireman buddy says around 3-5% of fires are due to this gnawing. Mice urinating on plates, chewing food boxes and kitchens. Keep the cat outside, let it do its job. HEY! A fucking stick insect 6 ” just landed on my hand! Fell from the ceiling! I suppose if there was a cat inside it would have been wasted. Just put it outside on the banana trees, man they are wierd! Feels real creepy when they walk on you. I wonder if that is good luck or bad luck? Graziano, your the mystic, any ideas?…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick_insect ….finding a spider on your clothing when you dress in the morning means coming into money… funnily enough I did find $45 on the beach 1 week later. So dont tell me stick insects mean I’m dying or shit like that, please.

  6. I have tried that toxoplasmosis thing, as well as the cat suffocating the baby, or biting it. Luckily she is declawed, or it would be a bigger problem. All he says is “Kitty wouldn’t do that” or “the puppy is more likely to hurt the baby” which is bullshit because this dog is going to protect the baby, not hurt it. He’s loyal to us, and protective. We actually do have mice in the house, I actually heard them & saw them in my bedroom. The cat was in the bedroom at the time they were squeaking & she sat there like an asshole with a stupid glare on her face. So she literally is fucking useless. I have no big problem with her when she’s keeping to herself. But when my puppy comes near her & tries being nice or laying beside her, she fucking hisses and screams and bats at him like she’s going to fucking die that he’s in the same room as her. That’s what pisses me off, her meanness. And she never gets the fucking point b/c when she does this to him, I throw a remote at her face or kick her, and she just runs & hides for like 5 hrs. then she’s back on that couch being the same old bitch & crying for food. You’d think she’d get that I hate her by now. She probably just doesn’t care b/c cats have no compassion or feelings other than to please themselves. My b.f. told me if I could find her a home, I could get rid of her, so I was looking, and posting ads, but then his mom & sister chimed in all stupid like “you can’t get rid of Kitty, she’s been your little sidekick for 10 yrs. she’s your baby”!! Lets get something straight people, his ex girlfriend talked him into adopting this cat, then she left him (for a gay man) shortly after, abandoning him with the cat. He had been single for 10 yrs. until he met me. I can see why he kept the cat around then, but now he has a fucking life. He’s having a baby and we have a real pet now, we don’t need her around. I guess he just feels a responsibility to her. But she seriously makes me pissed off as all hell. Even when he picks her up to pet her, she moans angrily. She doesn’t even like him. I told my b.f. that if that bitch cat does one fucking thing to the baby she’s out whether he likes it or not, & I’m not taking the time to find her a home b/c no one wants a 10 year old anti-social mean cat. And her skin is saggy and gross. Her stomach skin hangs to the ground. Her elbow skin sags half way down her arms. She is one ugly waste of life.

  7. Aucklander: You are funnier than shit!!!! I am laughing my ass off right now!! I thought you said you weren’t coming back!!!

    FUCK CATS: Well, one thing I can say about your Boyfriend is that he sounds like someone who has a *heart* and a strong sense of obligation to own up to his responsibilities (or at least what he perceives to be his responsibilities). There is a saying in New Jersey, U.S., where I live that “People who are cruel to animals are cruel to people too.” Sounds like your boyfriend, as annoying as his stubbornness to keep this animal is, has a strong want to look out for things he considers in need of help. Consider that a virtue, rather than a flaw on his part. And at least he is giving you the option of finding it another home.

    As far as his mom & sister go, what you and your b.f. decide to do in your own house is *none of their fucking business* If *they* care about the cat so much, tell *them* to take it home.

    Do you live in the U.S.? If you do, there is a site called http://www.petfinder.org. If you go on that site, you will find an endless list of rescues in your area and all over the country that specialize in taking in surrendered pets and finding them good homes. You might want to check it out.

    Best of luck to you, FUCK CATS. I hope you find a practical solution that works for you, your baby and your boyfriend–and no one else.

    Aucklander, glad to see you back, even if only for one last time ;0

  8. Nicholle: you are funny. I read your post about you telling your husband to go fuck the cat…I say that all the time to my b.f. I laughed b.c. it sounds just like us arguing…however mine didn’t give in. I know if it weren’t for his family, I could have gotten rid of the cat by now. I honestly don’t want them to think I’m an evil bitch, I don’t know them that well. I tried putting myself in their shoes. They actually like cats. If my brother or son had a dog (I love dogs) for 10 yrs. then he gets a g.f. who makes him get rid of the dog…I would think she was kind of a bitch..And as far as petfinder.com…there are cute little kittens on there…hundreds of kittens without homes in shelters. Who’s gonna want a 10 year old saggy wrinkly gross mean cat? No one. The other thing that sux is she’s totally healthy at 10 years old. So it makes me wonder how long she’ll be around for. Probably longer than me.

  9. Tiddles sneaked in last night, jumped on me in my sleep (wanting to be fed) then, after I told him to ‘get of’ he started scratching the carpet. 1st time I let him stay inside for weeks, and last. Hes such a uncaring thankless assehole, I’m thankful for the support I’ve had here, otherwise those cat loving gymps out there would have done my head in by now.

  10. FUCK CATS: FYI Rescues take in adult cats all the time, regardless of their temprament or age. That’s why they are called rescues; because they take in animals no one else wants.

    I get all my guinea pigs from rescues. Most of them are older and they are all wonderful.

    It is good that you are trying to “put yourself in their shoes.” I don’t know how old you are – I’m 30 – but that demonstrates a whole lot of maturity and empathy on your part. Kudos to you on that!!!

    But still, your bf’s family should not be pulling the strings in your relationship with him. That is unhealthy and can potentially be destructive, for reasons that have nothing to do with the cat.

    And this is for everyone: Wanna know how fucked up cats are? Here is a sampling of what my cat did in the last 36 hours….

    1. Yesterday afternoon my hubby and I were fulfilling our conjugal desires and out of nowhere I felt a breeze on my tush. I turned around to look behind me and there was the cat, sitting nonchalantly between our legs watching the action. FUCKED UP. I kicked her the fuck out.

    2. Then last night I was trying to sleep while my hubby was at graduate school. I was not feeling well, and I went to bed early. And the cat stood outside my bedroom door for 1/2 hour meowing under the crack because she was pissed off that I wouldn’t let her come in the room. She comes in the room and fucks around when I am trying to sleep and keeps me up. Finally I went into the hall and shoved her into the laundry room with her litterbox and food and locked her in there.

    3. Then, just 3 hours ago, I was clipping my toenails on the living room couch. And the cat runs over while I am clipping my toenails and devours the nail clippings that are on the rug.

    Um, the only words that come to mind for me here are *What* *The* *Fuck*

    By the way, I was just looking at her while I was watching television, and she was staring blankly at some nothing that isn’t even fucking there. And I realize that cats are the ugliest fucking things walking the planet.

    Aucklander: You won’t find a cat loving gymp here 🙂

  11. I don’t know where you live, but in Michigan where I am, all the shelters are always full. I did call a few not too long ago, & they weren’t accepting any animals. This cat used to do that too, stare at nothing & fallow it with her eyes, then run & pounce on nothing…she hasn’t done that in a couple months though, I wonder why she stopped. I was actually happy when she did it, I was thinking she was losing her marbles & that death may be around the corner. But, I was wrong. I am 25 by the way. That’s really disturbing about the toenails. My b.f. said his cat used to eat mice, & then throw them back up. And she would carry dead moles, mice & birds onto his bed…why the fuck would you keep such a discusting creature in your house? They are really gross. I don’t understand people. When we were doing it one time, she was sitting right at the end of the bed on the floor, just staring at us. It creeped me out.

  12. You aint gonna beleive this shit, but about 22 years ago my g/f moved in with her young female ginger cat. Soon we got another, a grey male kitten, who we called Fast Eddie, after the general store dude. We were living in a rural/beach village 1hour from Auckland, a was on a mining construction site. One day during some fun times, we both see on our bed the girl cat on her back, Fast Eddie licking her out like theres no tomorrow, hes like going to town and shes fully head back and loving it. She was real young and hes only 4/5 months? The visual moment is burned into my memory, so amazed at what happened. Our pussy cats had joined us for a foursome. Some time later the cats had shit somewhere, couldnt find it, looked for days. Finally, we had the sofa chairs on their side, looking to find this smelly cat shit. Fast Eddie had ripped a hole under one of the chairs base cover, got INSIDE the chair had done a crap. We changed his name to Gross Eddie after that, though cant put the chair thing down to monkey see, monkey do.

  13. What about kittens then? They’re so cute and cuddly, how could you not love them? Check out the video above for a kitten who can’t stay awake. So cute!

  14. Kittens are one thing, they grow up fast though. I only hate cats b/c they are mean..anti-social & think they run the place. I have the personality type where I run things..So cats & I do not mix. If it were a cat that acted like a dog, I would like it. I’m sitting here right now listening to this cat hiss & moan b/c my puppy is within 5 feet of her. She’s hateful!!

  15. Donncha: You are right, kittens can be cute, but they can be annoying, too. That cat I was telling everyone about a few blogs up, the one that was attacking us after we took it in and that I was about stomp to death with my steel-tipped boots, was a kitten.

    Then they grow up to be cats…lol

    Aucklander: Love your cat foursome story…lol

    FUCK CATS: I still don’t understand why people find such disgusting animals so amusing. It’s like the more disguting things they do, the more people who love them are amused!

  16. Arnt they sweet? I feel so guilty for everything I’ve said and felt against cats and their owners. I must be difficient in some way, maybe unable to give, mean and selfish. The loving warmth in Jeffs words, the images of family bliss exuding from the cats photos, only makes my own words seem angry, disturbed and typical of one who must have suffered bad parenting. ANYONE WHO LETS A CAT RUB ITS ASSHOLE ALL OVER HIS PILLOW MUST BE SO UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTING, FORGIVING. The cats attentions must mean a great deal. If I can show unconditional love to a cat, I will be a good parent. So, when my kids rub their assholes all over my pillow, I can look at them in denial, admire how cute, soft, nice they are, and lay my head down to sleep…Good parenting is the gift of consciousness, just ask the pharisees. I have resued/fostered/rehomed over a dozen dogs, put insects outside, catch and call bird rescue for sick ducks/seagulls blah de blah de blah, and I still dont like cats attitude. But then, I’m a victim of bad parenting

  17. Yes what a sweet video of the cat using his owner just to get pet while his owner is trying to get work done. I’d rather have a dog lay at my feet than a cat jump up on my keyboard and stick it’s ass in my face to use me…I’ll pass on the cat thanks.

  18. I’m pissed now (american for angry, nz kiwi for drunk, irish I’m not sure), I’m feeling that cats themselves dont mean a rats ass to me, (unless I have to care for one, while it grinds me down with excessive self interest), but the overt ‘I love my cat’ shit, which really gets up my nose. I’m starting to see some wierd abberations of self image psychology coming up around this, and its actually more disturbing than one would first imagine. Freud said neuroticism is part of modern existance, so thats my excuse. I’m just glad westerners are in the minority of 10%, and that the 90% rest of the world living in ‘poverty’, will excuse our wierd preoccupations.

  19. Donncha: The cats are beautiful, I must admit. But I still don’t want anymore 😉

    Aucklander: I just spent the last 15 minutes laughing my ass off over your last two blogs…but then again, I am not your typical westerner, I guess!

    I have better things to do than spend my time servicing and satisfying some self-absorbed, anal-erotic, whining, flea-bitten pulsating speck of life that threatens to destroy my house if I don’t do its bidding.

    I’ve been accused of being “bad parent” material, too, because I don’t love my husband’s cat. My emotional health has been put into question due to my indifference to this animal, as both of my parents were alcoholicsBut I guess my dedicated, unwavering care and tenderness toward my extremely grateful, intelligent and affectionate guinea pigs–not to mention my husband, who has just admitted to occassionally rubbing his asshole on my pillow–does not earn me any points as a good parent. You fucking figure that one out.

    FUCK CATS: Yes, they grind us down, that is for sure, and use us mercilessly. It seems as though the angrier a cat can make you by forcing itself on you the more excited it gets. Have any of you read “Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe? If you haven’t, I strongly suggest you do. It is Gothic American Literature’s greatest tribute to cat haters. I think it’s most powerful message, though, is not so much that you should hate cats, but that you should not hate them so much that that hate consumes you to the point that there is no turning back. Read the story and you will know what I mean. It changed my life, absolute truth-telling there.

  20. When a bed mat is rolled in asia, the head end of the mat is always rolled first. This way, the head end is always kept clean, rolled in the center. The user of the mat always places his head at this correct head end. Shoes are removed at the door, and hairly smelly brutes like myself are dangerous and to be avoided. Eating cats is okay…

  21. I wonder what would happen to a cat that had Jay and Silent Bob to look after it. Or that character from the movie American Splendor… Nicolle, you and your husband are from New Jersey, I unfortunately think of these films when I think of New Jersey, but thats just ignorance on my part

  22. Apart from mice and rats, I’m really struggling to find a suitable use for cats, and I work in design. Some seal point siamese get taken around the rest homes to sooth the aged who have found themselves in these places. Dogs: police, drug detection, herding, mushing, hunting, seeing eye for blind, butlers for wheelchair quads, security, true companionship. Cats: rats and mice, the possiblity of training to hunt game, such as rats and mice… Had a read at wikipedia re Jersey. Sounds like my side of town, Grey Lynn, in Auckland. Didnt realize New Jersey had so much cool with education, womens issues, art and culture. The Black Cat: Exposure to black cats will turn you into a nasty drunkard. Slowly but surely your life will degenerate to the point that you kill your spouse. Then the cat will inform the cops. I like it, supports my view of cat lovers being satanists, posing as fine citizenry, and cats being truly evil servants of saturn. Wikipedia has this regarding cats: Some cats can be toilet trained, eliminating the litterbox and its attendant expense and smell. Training involves two or three weeks of incremental moves, such as moving and elevating the litterbox until it is near the toilet. For a short time, an adapter, such as a bowl or small box, may be used to suspend the litter above the toilet bowl; numerous kits and other aids are marketed to help toilet-train cats. When training is complete, the cat uses the toilet by perching over the bowl.[41] Occasional accidental dunkings, which can traumatize the cat to the point of its avoidance of the toilet, can lead to urinating and defecating in undesirable locations around the house. This can be avoided by use of a simple insert of one or two crossbars or a widely spaced grid to prevent falling in but allow feces to pass; such safety devices have recently become commercially available. Otherwise, if a cat is not trained to use the toilet, it is wise to keep the lid shut to prevent thirsty or curious cats from falling in

  23. My boyfriend’s cat prefers to drink out of the toilet. It’s a discusting sight to see her hunched over it, plus she’s ugly anyways. She also won’t drink from a regular bowl of water. If the toilet lid is down and there is a bowl of water near her food, she will just moan and whine until we put the bowl up. I have also witnessed several instances of her drinking from the toilet when there is urine in it. proves that cats aren’t as clean as some people like to claim they are.

  24. Oh ya, and the person who said that cats are clean & smart enough to clean themselves, and dogs are too stupid to learn to clean themselves…I really don’t want my dog licking it’s asshole, and crotch then licking the rest of it’s body..that to me is even worse than doing no self cleaning & just getting a bath every couple weeks. I would never kiss my dog, or hold him, or let him sleep with me if he did that. He doesn’t go outside but just to go to the bathroom, so he does not roll around in shit or dead animals. When I see that stupid cat licking herself, it makes me cringe to think she does that then lays around on all the furniture, and tries getting into my baby’s bassinet & stroller. Why can’t cat lovers see how truly dirty and unsanitary it is to own a cat?

  25. fuck cats: word!!! (that is an 80’s term from inner-city New Jersey that basically means “I agree with you totally on that.”)

    Aucklander: You are so fucking cool!

    New Jersey is all right. Lots of radical political stuff going on, and yes, you are absolutely right, we are toward the top in education, both elementary, secondary and post-secondary. We have some of the most prestigious colleges and Universities in the world…I graduated from two of them; my husband from one and hopefully soon from another.

    Yes, there is lots of culture here. It’s one of the original 13 colonies. Many important events took place here. The demographics are extremely ethincally diverse, which is part of why I have my job! And we are very close to New York City: I love the Met, the Cloisters and the Museum of Natural History.

    No need to apologize about the Jay and Silent Bob comment. Believe it or not, we love their movies. Actually they came to Red Bank, NJ for a live show last summer, and Craig and I stood with about 50,000 other mindless Jerseyans…lol…just to get a glimpse of them. Unfortunately, because of gates, guards and police barriers, we were barely able to make out their images from a half-mile and about the extent of the comic enjoyment was occassionally being able to hear one of them roar “FUCK YEAH!” We left after a half hour and spent the rest of the evening wandering Red Bank! Still, not all our pursuits are so mindless, even though we live in New Jersey…lol

    In any event, I love your interpretation of “The Black Cat.” Had you read it before, or did you manage to root it out online at my suggestion?

    Everyone: This morning, my husband was getting ready to leave for work, and he was gushing over how “smart” the cat was for “waking him up at 4 in the morning to be let out of the bedroom because she had to use her litterbox.” My response, “Why the fuck was she in the bedroom to begin with?” His response, “You just don’t like her! How would you feel if I locked your guinea pigs out of the bedroom?” My response, “You don’t have to…I don’t let them sleep with us.” His response, “Why do you hate her so much.” My response “Love you sweetie, have a good day at work. Close the bedroom door on your way out” *yawn* *roll* *ZZZZZZZZZ*

  26. P.S. Aucklander, my husband is big and hairy, too.

    And what are “servants of saturn?” 😉

  27. I can’t believe those people that like cats for their independence. Why are cats independent? :because they are a waste of time and life, and they only give a shit about themselves. They’re worthless too! Some people sell cats out in the street for free, but what about the dogs? You gotta buy ’em with money!DINERO! Cats are worthless, that’s why they’re free. They have no value in life , but at least dogs do!

  28. Brian: Yes, I know what dinero is, and you are right, cats are usesless.

    Just a few minutes ago, I was sitting on my couch waiting for a cake to bake. I don’t feel good, and it is spring break for the New Jersey schools, so I am home from work today, sniffling and sleeping and baking cakes.

    And my fucking cat starts running around the house after nothing that isn’t there like a fucking retard and making idiotic noises. Running from room to room, in front of me in back of me, going “OW! OH! UH!” She sounds like a whore getting it up the front and the back at the same time.

    And finally I can’t take any more of this shit, so when she goes into the laundry room to use her litter box or eat something, I follow her in there to lock her in because I dont’ want to deal with this shit today. And I look in there and she’s not even using her litterbox or eating . She’s spinning around in circles like a fucking whirling dirvish making ruidios estupidos (stupid noises)with a fucking stupid smirk on her idiotic face. So I go to lock her and in and all the sudden she runs toward the door and I almost slam her in it by accident.

    So she runs under the bed and watches me for five minutes. And then I go to check on the cake and she darts out from under the bed and runs and hides under the guinea pig enclosure. Fucking creep.

    God help me find a way to teach this animal to stay the fuck out of my way.

  29. Lets eat them, imagine how good it would feel. That little fucker wont put his arse in your face no more. Actually, things are going ok with the cat. I have woodland next door full of rodents, we are 2 miles from downtown, so now Tiddles only comes inside for about 10 mins a day. Then after eating, I say ‘get out’ and look menacing. Actually I look menacing a lot, only for his benefit, coming home down the street, passing him in the yard. I hiss, star into his eyes, hiss some more, stomp the ground. Now, hes like, I’m sorry, why cant we be friends. When he sneaks in, I intimidate him out. Probably wont work for everyone, I live alone, and a cat loving enabler will just reinforce the cats shit behavior. I trully sympathize with those who must share an apartment with a spouses cat, pur hell. But yeah it okay, 10 mins a day. The word satan comes from the planet saturn which influences capricorn amongst other things. The devil with horns was the churches way of fillifying (gotta learn to spell) this dark side of humanity, the shadow self. You know, the side that kinda would like to eat their partners cat while their away… Pan, the debauched party animal dude with the wine, chicks and music was also a slur against capricorn. I think the bull was revered in pre christian times, which was a horned beast too. But yeah, influence of saturn is blamed for all sorts of stuff. Its a fucken huge planet, so the way the church would use existing pagan sites and piggy back on earlier mythology, like easter and xmas used to be pagan days for a party, is also continuing the pre christian tradition of blaming the influence of saturn, but we dont wont the flock thinking astrology no more so we’ll call in satan. Sort of like ‘new speak’ in george orwells 1984, but occuring not long after Jesus rocked out some cool shit and blew some peoples minds. I wonder if there are any references to cats in the bible? I know theres something about not lying down with dogs. No, I think eating cats is okay, according to the book.

  30. All you have to do is keep a spray bottle full of water handy. When the bitch comes near you, spray her. They hate water, and she should learn to stay the hell away from you. Although, you may not want to do it when your husband is near b/c just like my boyfriend, he will probably get all uppity & stupid about it, “why do you hate her so much?” Sounds just like my boyfriend.

  31. Nicolle: The Black Cat. Found it online and read this morning. I felt the interpretation was open, were his drinking problems due to the intense relationship with the cat itself, or did his cruelty toward the cat/other pets caused his problems. Dunno. He seemed okay, good marriage, started drinking while having a close relationship with his cat. The cause of his drinking was not really alluded to, wife was without depth, I feel a superstitious reader would outright blame the black cat for being a witch in disguise, and another would refrain from blaming the cat and say his drinking was the down fall. However what caused his drinking? Poe earlier praised the loyalty of a dog, then his tone slides in mentioning the cat. Dunno. He maltreated all the pets, but the cat bit him back, he got mad, cut out its eye then killed it. I feel Poe fed off suspicion regarding cats. Has anyone read a review? Probably someone very bright has written a paper on this story. Bottom line, he became a drunk, took it out on his pets, cat didnt take shit from him, cat got wasted, cat got revenge though magic. Why did he drink? Why did he have intense cat relationships who got under his feet?

  32. Aucklander: Oh, all right. I have heard of a servant of satan, just never a servant of saturn! You do a sublime job of explaining. I see you have a strong bent toward philosophical/religious analysis and criticism. So do my husband and I.

    We would love to get you in a room in person; I think the three of us we’d have a grand old philosophy-bashing time. When we were in England two summers ago, we couldn’t get enough of the Australian/New Zealander toursists.

    You are right, though. I would never get away with chasing the cat out of the house with my husband around. He’s a cat enabler; he gets it from his mom.

    fuck cats: good idea about the spray gun. I used to have an extra somewhere, but it wound up being requisitioned for another use. I guess I can get another one. a water gun maybe, so I can hide it when my husband gets home. Of course if he ever found it, as he tends to strangely stumble upon things i hide, he would know what it was for and i’d get no end of hell for it…lol. A spray bottle will do just fine; I can just tell him it is an extra for my hair (I have natural curls and need to spray them down every morning)

    Last night I went to bed at like 10, and my hubby comes in 1/2 hour later, and I am pretty much asleep. I just feel him crawl into bed. And then I start having this weird dream and all the sudden at 11:30 i jolt awake and the cat is sitting on my ass pounding away with her front paws. I slapped her off of me, too tired to get up and close the door behind her, but figuring that she would not be stupid enough to come back. 12:30 I am awakened suddenly again, and there is the cat, on the back of my thighs, treading away. I turned sideways and punted her off the bed, in a just-been-woken-up-for-the-second-time-for-a-fucking-no-good-reason rage, and stumbled over to the bedroom door and hurled it shut behind her, waking my husband with a reverberating slam that shook the whole house. If I am going to be awakened the night before a work day by this idiotic waste of life, so is he.

    And she had the nerve to pull this shit after I had almost slammed her in the laundry room yesterday afternoon. See, dogs will learn from stuff like that, even guinea pigs (though I don’t punish my pigs and despite most people’s beliefs that they are stupid). Cats, no way.

    I swear to god it’s like living day in and day out in a fucking stalker movie. “Play Misty for Me.” Has anyone ever seen it? If you haven’t and want to know what I mean, watch it. To get an idea of what I deal with, imagine the character Evelyn Draper as my cat. “I can make you love me..I can make you love me..I can make you love me….”

  33. I must assume you’re not being mean enough to the cat, if she continues to come around & bother you. My boyfriend’s cat now only stays in the living room, and she will stand by the entrance to the kitchen, but she won’t come in because she knows I hate her. I don’t feed her, she used to moan & whine when I used to feed her, but now that I’ve quit, she got the picture that she’s not getting shit from me & she keeps her mouth shut until my boyfriend gets up for work & she whines at him. She actually will try to hide when me & my puppy come in the livingroom. My puppy when he’s hyper, pounces on her & sits on her, etc. which she doesn’t like, but she’s learned that she has no claws, so batting at him and hissing doesn’t deter him, so now she just runs away & hides behind the hot water heater. She thought she was hot shit too when he was really little but he’s growing up fast. Stupid cat…she can’t be happy here, I open the door for her to run out, and she does but only for a second, she runs out then rolls around on the porch like a jack ass then she runs back inside. She probably knows I will lock her out. Haha my puppy is outside in the back yard, and the cat just came out of the living room and hunched over his food and tried eating some, so I clapped my hands to startle her, she ran away & I gave her a little push with my foot. So I guess it is the puppy she is in fear of, not so much me. I must not be doing a good enough job. I just told my boyfriend he might want to feed his cat. What’s the name of that cat food that was recalled again?? Just kidding..

  34. Brian: This “I can make you love me” isn’t just weird, it’s true in this house. This fucking cat actually believes she can make me love her…fucking demented.

    fuck cats: I am as mean as I can be to this thing without being abusive. I don’t feed her, don’t water her, don’t give her a lick of attention except to kick her off of me when she wakes me up at night, or to tell her to fuck off when she comes sniffing around during the day when I am grading papers or listening to music and my husband is at work, demanding love that isn’t even there. It’s like the less I give the more she expects. I throw pillows at her, dump cups of water on her, lock her in rooms to keep her out of my way, whatever I can do to make her hate me without hurting her and subsequently devastating my husband. She just keeps coming back for more. It’s as if she likes to be humiliated like some fucking S&M freak. I call her the maso-pusst.

    Just a minute ago while I was sitting here, the cat comes over to me and starts rubbing her head on my knee and whining and I told her to fuck off and my husband is like, “Oh leave her alone.” What was that? Leave HER alone? I didn’t ask her to come over..why the hell doesn’t she leave me alone. We were eating dinner before and she goes up to my husband at the kitchen table and digs her front claws into the crotch of his pants and smacks him in the nads with her paws and he’s like, “aw, how cute. she’s showing her love for me.” Is this what cat people consider love? In that case the next time I pass by a Cat Adoption event in the area I will make it a point go inside, this way I can run around the premises smashing volunteers and adopters in the genitals with a claw hammer yelling, “don’t mind me i’m just showing my love!” Does this sound irrational to y’all or is it just my narrow mind limiting me?

  35. This is so healing. We can vent our frustrations in a healthy, safe way. Thankyou holy shmoly. I think the girls next door are going to start looking after Tiddles, yay!

  37. You lucky s.o.b. you get to get rid of the cat?? I’m so jealous. I just tormented her with the water bottle b/c she was under the bathroom sink when I went to get a roll of toilet paper. There’s literally no space under there, I don’t know why she feels the need to go under there. There is also toilet bowl cleaner under there…hmm…Do you guys think that me & the dog tormenting her will wear her down enough to the point where her health will start to suffer? I am being serious. I don’t see how any animal could be happy knowing that they have to hide almost 24/7. The only time she’s safe is when my boyfriend is home, b/c she knows I can’t do anything in front of him. Well, last night, we were watching t.v. and the cat was on a seat by the couch where we were sitting, and I hear a licking noise (cringe) so I look at her and she has her back foot all the way up in the air, totally stretched up as far as it can go, and she’s spreading her toes out while she’s licking her ass, as to show off. Nasty bitch. I can’t hold back, I hurl the remote at her, she runs away, & my boyfriend gets pissed off.

  38. In other words, cat people are insane. They just can’t find amusement, so they’ve gotta use their damn cat!

  39. We found a stray cat at our backyard and we fed it. My sister and I feed it whenever it comes. Soon we let it in since it kinda wants to get in but i noticed a pattern. Cats have favoritism. It will only like one person the most and will be like saying “screw off” to you when it does not need something in you. Now its me that hate cats. my sister btw felt sorry for the cat but she hate cats. So its like a switch. because the cat is a stray, i often wash my hands when i touch it and we dont want to bathe it since it might scratch though i think someone use to own her because she knows some house rules. Soon my sister let it sleep in her room and i was like eww, you let that thing in your bed. she shrugs. i was like dont let that thing on my bed. thing is sometimes my dad and i were like idiots trying to get the cats attention and pet her and i think the cat thinks shes the master. I caught this cat inside my room several times and i give it a good kick on the face on the fourth time i see and yes on the face when she is running (im that good :D) anyways the fact that she runs whenever i see her in my room is a sign of disrespect. I mean if she runs when i see her in my room then she knows shes not supposed to be there. One day I saw her in my bed. I beat the shit out of this cat and even chase her under the table kick the table so she gets out and throw sandals on her. Now shes scared of me but heres the thing. My sister let her out from time to time when she wants to come in and saw me she was not like scared. But after I let her in she is scared again. Like wtf. I used to beat up my dogs when we used to have one and they learn good but these cat is very unforgiving and is only sweet to me when shes outside trying to get in

  40. Theory is that i think cats are like this is because they do not live on groups. dogs on the other hand live in packs and they have been domesticated for quite a long time so they are highly adopted to rules of humans.

  41. Jesus, if i was beaten all the fucken time I’d do a shit on your bed, you fucken loser. Just because you dont like an animals qualities doesnt mean it doesnt have any rights, and you can beat it. Get a life you dickhead, your not that good at all, hope someone kicks you in the head one day soon

  42. lol why you talking dirty on internet? Do not act tough on internet because it doesnt make you any tougher. Ok? Say it nicely ok?

    Anyways its a stray cat and we were nice enough to let it in. It can always not come back when we let it out. As long as it stays on our house it follows house rules. And btw how do you intend to discipline animals? talk to them? they dont understand you. rules of the wild. The roar is a treat. I used it when she was trying to get in my room. Scared her. but i think she doesnt think i mean it. next the attack. i think she learns good but still a little confuse. next time i really beat her up good. i think she learns good. she doesnt come near my room again but also scared of me lol. And animal rights? im not animal abuser. There is a line between discipline and abuse.

    i did get beaten up as a kid. i think its a good technique. As far as im concerned, i have more values than the average north american. there has to be balance. i know talking is good discipline but sometimes you just have to show that you mean it. Some Kids in north america are like “WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?” Grounding kids is not effective if they not gonna agree that they are grounded.

    Kick in the head. Yes i did get kicked in the head on sparring. I got his head too. But someone randomly kicking me on the head. well i dont know what i might do but chances are he’ll be lying on ground trying to breathe because i bust his adams apple. or prolly screaming because i completely destroy his nose, break his bones, or his eyes completely jacked up.

  43. You dont understand i cuddle with my pillow(yes im a guy). seeing cat on my pillow is very annoying especially if its a stray cat that is not bathe and was found with its own dropping on his body for some reason it only deserve some beating. And yes if someone beat me or “kick me in the head” because i was a dirty man lying on someones bed i will not retaliate because first it was not my bed and i soiled it and i have no freaking permission to do that. Remember i warned the cat, first a grrrr then next one kick on head. last flying sandals and chase her some more for more flying sandals that is when she got scared.

    Im not an animal abuser. If you think that I am how bout those people who throw a remote on a cat. i believe that hurts more since a remote is more solid. i might be wrong because im a strong guy but dude im not alone. dont pick on me

  44. USED TO BE OKAY WITH CATS: You have no right to beat any animal, regardless of whether you “like” it or not.

    You need to do some serious soul-searching if you think this is an okay thing to do.

  45. That is bad. I have been feeling a little bad about being so mean to the cat lately, and about talking so much shit on her. It is my boyfriend’s cat, & I would never have one in the house if it were my choice. Yes I think they are disrespectful & don’t give a shit about humans, as a matter of fact, this cat only comes to me when I pour food in her bowl. She won’t even come near me otherwise, even when I’m calling her & trying to pet her. So I think they are useless & definitely not meant to be companions. But on the other hand, the cat had been here 10 yrs. with my boyfriend before I came along, and then I got the puppy. The cat is old, and it doesn’t like other animals, or strangers. So now all she does is hide all day. I feel bad for making her feel so unwanted in her own home. I mean it was her home before me & the dog came along. My boyfriend was talking about getting rid of her last night b/c she hides all day & can’t be happy, & is always in fear that the puppy is going to terrorize her. So, I said no , you care for her & you know they will just put her to sleep if you take her to a shelter. So the past few days I have been making a big effort to feed her, pet her, and not talk badly about her to my boyfriend. I hope it helps. I realize I can’t change the cat no matter what I do. She is not trainable. So I just try to respect her more, and my boyfriend too.
