On the plus side...

My kitty does the same stuff to my girlfriend and I . She is so funny If you leave something out she gets into it. Bags,boxes,etc.
Her new thing is climing the wall. We have unfinished wood trim around the doors and stuff at the house.. She actually climbs up the walls and gets on to the rafters.(2x4's) and walks from one end of the house to the other. It's great fun to watch her run around up there!!!!

One main reason that I like cats is their uncanny ability to detect BS.
That ability lets them immediately sense whether a person is good or bad, a liar or cheat, and whether that person is worth the cat's time. More than a few people I have known have failed the "cat test" and later events proved the cat 100% right.
As per that statement of
"Cats are cool, if you don't mind that the first sign of fire or trouble and their gone"
I beg to differ. One time I was in my front yard with my cat lounging around, and a large dog spotted me, ran into my yard growling and bearing his teeth at me in attack mode. That cat jumped up from somewhere, ran between me and the dog, and proceeded to puff up and howl. That gave me time to pick up the shovel, look the dog in the eyes and move at him with the distinct intent to sever parts of his anatomy with that shovel blade. The dog realized I was more serious and dangerous than he was, and backed off. The owner who was walking that vicious dog ran up and started yelling at me. I gave him one chance to get that mutt off my property, or he was getting him back in pieces. He was more than a little resentful to my suggestion his dog should be kept chained in his yard. But I pointed out the dog's attack behavior, and the cost of a lawsuit should that mutt ever decide to savage somebody- like me who could fight back, or even worse, a child who couldn't.
So if you are worth it, the cat will fight for you.

Well said. And it's not that I'm a "cat person" but an animal person and people making light of being cruel to animals pisses me off. Anyway, here are a couple of cat stories that were in the news recently ... although the second one is a little hard to believe.

Cat saves baby's life
A cat has saved the life of a newborn baby abandoned on the doorstep of a Cologne house in Germany in the middle of the night, by meowing loudly until someone woke up, a police spokesman says.
"The cat is a hero," Cologne police spokesman Uwe Beier said.
"Its loud meowing got the attention of the home-owner and saved the baby from suffering life-threatening hypothermia.
"The home-owner opened the door to see why the cat was making so much noise and discovered the newborn."
Mr Beier says the boy was taken to hospital at 5:00am local time on Thursday, when overnight temperatures fell toward zero, and had suffered only mild hypothermia.
He says there is no indication of what happened to the boy's mother.

Cat called 911 to help ill owner, police say
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police aren't sure how else to explain it.
But when an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911 call, an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living room floor. The cat's owner, Gary Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed having fallen out of his wheelchair.
Rosheisen said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons to call 911.
"I know it sounds kind of weird," Officer Patrick Daugherty said, unsuccessfully searching for some other explanation.
Rosheisen said he couldn't get up because of pain from osteoporosis and ministrokes that disrupt his balance. He also wasn't wearing his medical-alert necklace and couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that alerts paramedics that he needs help.
Daugherty said police received a 911 call from Rosheisen's apartment, but there was no one on the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out.
That's when Daugherty found Tommy next to the phone.
Rosheisen got the cat three years ago to help lower his blood pressure. He tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the training ever stuck.
The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons — including a speed dial for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone.
"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.

My next cat will be something along these lines, we may even start breeding them as I really like the concept of a unique breed of large cat. For those of you who dont know, this is a Savanah which is bred from the african Servals and they get to be about 30 or 40 pounds when full grown.

May 26 2007, 02:56 PM
From what I understand, they pretty much have the same temperament as a normal domestic house cat, just a little bigger
I used to have an all black cat that was mixed with something and he grew to 27 pounds, it was hell if he jumped down in your lap from the top of the couch, knock the wind right out of you or make you feel like you were just kicked in the gonads. He was a very cool and calm cat but when it came to dogs, he kind of had an attitude if they got too close to him. I never declaw my cats either, I feel it is their natural defense and would not want to deprive them of being able to defend themselves.

Scott,
Good luck with a big notso domestic cat. One of my highschool friends had an ocelot. It was about 40 lbs. I will never forget the day when we went over to his house after school and we walked in on the cat eating and dismembering the La-z-boy. Had that sucker over on it's back, the guts were everywhere and he just kept savaging the prey. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........
On the other hand, my wifey had a very large boned 30 lb maine coon cat and he was the most friendly and affectionate cat. He would climb onto my lap and his front and rear legs would hang over about 6 inches on each side.

He must have some Maine Coon in him because he finally starting to fill out at 15 pounds.

I breed a litter of Golden Retrievers every year, usually in the spring, so I don't have to clean up the kitchen floor at 2:30 AM every night for about 6 weeks, as I do if it's a winter litter. Amber was due Thursday. But last Monday night, after I went to bed at 11:15, she came in to get me at 2; I thought she needed a bathroom break because of that great sack of puppies hanging there. But when I got down to the kitchen I heard the mewing (yeah, like a kitten for a few weeks), and went to look at her bed-pad. Four pups were already out. Apparently she wanted company/help--I had always been there for all the pups in previous years, and thought I would get the usual signs in the 24 hours before they were coming. But she had gotten the jump on me. An hour later #5 came, followed by the 6th in ten minutes. We had had her x-rayed, so knew that was all (we do that for safety sake, so that one that has died won't get left in there and create infection.) By morning she was acting almost as if nothing had happened--except for staying constantly by them to nurse. They're putting on weight fast, and will be those fluff-balls you see in advertisements in about 3 weeks. And, as contrasted with my two teenagers, these will be through school and out on their own in 2 1/2 weeks. And I get $500 each time one graduates to its new home. The year I bought my very clean 914 for $4100 she had 9 pups-- I told my friends that my dog bought me a nice Porsche. But the best of all is the weeks when they are fuzzy and affectionate (again, better than my teens) and full of fun. And yes, after the second litter, we kept one as a companion for Mom-dog-- they always like to have another to romp and wrestle with. We have a yearly "family" reunion (just last week this time), usually with over a dozen of her grown pups, and it's a hoot. Cats are OK, but I have a fierce allergy to them, so I get my best company from dogs of all ages.
