Swearing off Cats

[wolf39us]

The cat was a female and she was spade already.  She's less than 6 months old and didn't go to the "pound" she went to a SPCA... seriously cats don't last more than a week there unless they are old.

I've grown up with and have taken care of cats on my own and never have I had a cat that pissed all over the place... I'm not even supposed to have a cat in this place really.  BUT in the last few years that I haven't had a cat around, I've gotten really spoiled with all of my furniture staying intact, and quickly realized that I prefer it that way.

I have no concern that someone else won't pick her up... she's cute and young and extremely friendly.  I'm just not cut out for a cat right now!

Swearing off Cats

Correction: You think you're swearing off cats. You'll be back. They always come back... 8-)

Haha, I probably will

Cats are never as good as dogs.   [-(

No you don't. You do not want a Raccoon for a pet. Uh uh. Not even. Like, never. They are clever, destructive, have very sharp teeth, very sharp claws, are known to house diseases and will disembowel any other pet given the chance. They break into shit, tunnel through shit, destroy shit, will get out at night and kill chickens and other evil shit.

I've seen videos of pet Raccoons, they seriously tunnel through your wall...

Fair enough.

I'm defensive about cats.

It's illegal unless you're a wildlife rehabilitator.

But, if you set out food you might get some on your porch. :) I have a couple that come some nights for leftover cat food. I get an occasional opossum, too.

A couple of years ago I had a dog & cat. They were great and over the years I've had several other animals. Not these days though, things are a little too uncertain for me. They make damn good friends though.

my point was that she probably had a urinary tract infection that was fixable.

I swore off cats when my last cat died. I don't need that in my life anymore.

I bottle raised two infant raccoons. They are unbelievably cute and sweet until they get to a certain age and size. Then? Not so much.
They don't lose their cute, but hooboy. They are much better from afar.

The pain of losing a furry friend? I know, man. I know.

I have eight animals (three dogs and five cats). They are all rescues. I like them more than most people. They never lie, they never cheat. They all get along better than eight humans could.  I have had the pleasure of dozens of animals in my lifetime and every one was a jewel. I miss all the ones that have died but I know I gave them the best lives anyone could. Good friends all. I would do more but vet bills preclude that. I love both dogs and cats as they each have their own personalities. Such joy, such loyalty, such unadulterated love.
