The Cat Thread

You're quite right, I see the error of my ways - you should probably kill the cats yourself, now - as a kindness. You could leave them arranged around the Ficus, maybe with a note saying "where's my wireless mouse NOW?"

Am I wrong or being controlling for demanding things like three litter trays for two cats? Cleaned once a day. Filtered water dotted round the flat. Wet food left out for short periods of time.

I think I need some support that this is the right thing for the cats welfare.

Given the choice of doing the killing I'd choose murdering you and her over the cats. The cats aren't to blame for the mistreatment.

Maybe time to check the times you went to Croydon.

EDIT isn't james black and white?

What, you're going to spread neat bleach over my floor so I poison myself when I lick my feet clean?

I suspect that won't work on me the same way it did on the cat you were looking after.

Mainly due to my loss of flexibility with age, it is true.

What the fuck is going on here? @lynx Do you live with your partner? Is there something wrong with her? Reading your posts it sounds like this person shouldn't be anywhere near an animal. What's all this talk about putting them down? I'm sorry but it sounds to me that either yourself, a friend, RSPCA or whoever need to get these cats as far away from this person as possible.

We sort of live together long story. I get the feeling that she sees the cats as things. She has only had one cat before and it did not have a nice end. Her brother did care that cat had eaten and drank for 4 days, then went on holiday. The girlie turned up when he was going on holiday and saw the cat was ill took to the vet. Vet said cat almost dead and in lots of pain. Brother said to keep cat alive till he finished his hols as he didn't want to spoil his holiday. I don't speak to the brother or acknowledge him if he is in the same room.

The talk of putting them down was talk, the boy cat being so ill again made me really upset. The put them out of their suffering sort of thing. It upset me to think of the cats in pain or stressed. Part of the reason I stick around.

If you really care about the cats:

1) abduct cats
2) get them sorted properly at the vets, you will have to pay, deal with it
3) find people who are not properly insane to house cats
4) stop freaking the people on the Cat thread out FFS

I don't bleach the floors or worktops I steam clean them, another irrational fear that the cats might get ill from the contact to chemicals.

Am looking after a friends cat and so far the car has enjoyed two rides in the car. Brilliant thing is that the cat doesn't need to be in a basket, if you give her 10 minustes of sniffinf the inside of the car see is fine. When driving she likes to either sit on the dash board or on the seat back looking out of the windows.

Currently on day 3 of the cat sulk. When I finally took the cat back to mine, I let it in the flat to go and sniff to its hearts content before bringing in the cat goodies such as a litter tray. In the space of less than three minutes cat finds mouse in the kitchen. Cat proceeds to claw mouse apart and by the time I get in the kitchen there is blood, gore and a screaming mouse with a cat looking very contented.

So I clean the cat with a wet cloth as she has blood on her, one small mouse and I was amazed at the amount of blood and gore. Was also concerned about getting blood carried on the cats paws around the flat. So cleaned cat, cat was not happy about this and was very vocal. Then proceed to cleaned up the kitchen floor, with newspaper of the gore then bleach neat on the rest.

Now the bloody furball is in a sulk with me. She didn't eat for 24 hours, which is rare for her as she usually grazes no set meal time. When she did eat, she ate lots and threw up in to her food. She has a mix of wet food and nuggets. So I replaced all the food and washed out the bowls.

Don't think she is eating as much as she does usually, and seems very grumpy with me. Haven't allowed her on the bed/or in the bedroom which she is not happy about, but other times she has stopped over the rules have been the same.

I see.

God, this makes a depressing read but yes I'm with Howard. Please remove them asap if you care about them.

Boy cat was neutered, and girlie was quite angry about it. Even tho he was humping his sister and his sister was not happy about it and was running scared and hiding all the time. That could not go on. I took the only choice I could think of and that was get him done.

The girl cat hasn't been done and girlfriend has mentioned that she thinks the girl cat would be happier if she had a few kittens. I brought this up with the vet who was doing boy cats neutering. He told her that the idea of cats having kittens is good for the cat is an old wifes tail and that she is still a kitten herself and it was a bit cruel to do that to the kitten. I agree with this. There have been verbal threats issued if I get the girl cat neutered. But it has been booked. The kitten may escape for a bit and be operated on then returned using they thought she was a stray hence the hysterectomy. Healed and cone less.

When was that written?

I feel utterly powerless. I am of the school that you don't own a cat, you are entrusted to look after the cat and give it the best possible life. I need to get her to sign over the cats to me. In the meantime I need to be around to make sure nothing else happens.

Got a photo of the boy cat asleep with me in bed, on his back with his head in my armpit.

EDIT - I don't understand/comprehend why you would have a poisonous to cats plant in a house with cats. Is it me being stupid?

All joking aside, I think that this whole thing is a thinly veiled bid for dominance over your partner and I think you should grow the fuck up and stop it.

Really? Can I ask how you see that. I don't think it is. But I can be wrong.

Is it the setting of 'the rules' for the food, water and litter? Or wanting them neutered?

This all sounds a very depressing domestic ...
cat.

He should just get one of those tongues from Wish if he wants to do that.

Is lynx still justifying the idea of having these cats killed because his girlfriend can't look after them????

You realise that would constitute theft more than having them rehomed, right? Theft involves the intention to permanently deprive someone of property. Rehoming or sending the cats to a foster home does not necessarily constitute intention of permanent depravation.

Or, you could do what you're supposed to do and report her for animal cruelty/neglect.

I preferred this thread when it was full of cats nopeing/enjoying snow. :(
