Cats are all the rage these days

Good to see another feline lover.

you are wrong here.
ask any vet or cat sanctuary and they will advise that cats should be kept indoors.
and that it is only a problem if people do not interact or have activities for them to do.

We have 3 cat trees throughout the house and over a hundred toys for all of our cats and foster cats that we look after.

Please people keep your cats indoors. cats have been reported to kill up to 18 million animals a night.

Nothing pisses me off more than my cat meowing, whinging and crying for no reason.

Litter tray is empty, he's had dinner, he's got plenty of water and he fucking hates human contact, so I don't know what he could possibly want.

When we started fostering cats we were introduced to these:

Get one, nearly every foster cat and ours have been obsessed with playing with them.

When we first got our cats, we had scratching posts and all sorts of shit for them to climb over and play with.

Their favourite toy was and currently is a little ball of tin foil.

It's like the more expensive the toy is, the more they can't be fucked playing with it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sounds a bit like you.

Now you're not even making sense.

Just pointing out that you spend half your time on here whinging and crying, and if you didn't have the intellectual ability to speak, you'd probably be meowing too.

I have heard the same to be honest. "Our" cats don't get let out. Or at least of they do it's supervised and they barely go bast the first plant or two from the door. Life expectancy of the cat itself too basically doubles by keeping it inside.

You're trying too hard.

?????
feel free to use that wonderful invention google.
contact any zoo.
any cat shelter.

It is a well stated fact that they kill millions of animals daily.

So do humans. But y'know, let's just blame cats for all the problems.

Cats need interaction. your cat might not like human interaction as such but with the toy I linked there is plenty of interaction and it is with the feathers. Or even string on the end of a stick can get them excited. We used to use laser pointers, but we were informed that sometimes it could work up cats too much.

you can't just lock humans up all do for no reason. but ya know lets just blame innocent people for crimes.

There's a simple solution for that. Declaw your cats. You're not killing an animal but you're also protecting other animals as well!

yep exactly.
and I have first hand seen what my greyhound can do to a cat that enters our back yard.
It is not a pleasant image.

1 that is incredibly cruel.
and
2 Also doesn't work, they can still attack animals. They are just not as effective.

Declawing cats is an ethical and humane way to protect other animals from cats. If anything, declawing cats is a good way to curb their aggressive tendencies.

You need to deteeth them as well as declaw them.

Cats are surprisingly adept at gumming away at mushy tofu.

I think deteething cats is going a LITTLE too far.

So wrong but it does add an element of perplexing hypocritical complexity to your character at least

There's no hypocrisy here, champ. I value all life but unfortunately, our native wildlife are sitting ducks to cats. I'd rather see declawed cats than the extinction of our unique wildlife.

The Advantages of declawing cats:

- It stops them from scratching furniture, therefore not ruining them.

- It prevents them attacking you or your family

- It will curb their aggression toward people and other animals.

:lol:

Reasons to lobotomise your children:

- It stops them from destroying furniture and the walls.
- It stops them from being aggressive towards the family and friends.
- It stops them hurting animals.

perthjay - my vet recommended we let our cat outside.

For the first 3 years of its life it was strictly indoors - we only took it outside under heavy supervision and/or it got out and we'd immediately bring it back in.

During that time it was by no means fat or lazy - it just looked like a standard cat. But every time we'd take it to the vets for yearly needles, or whatever, the vet would always say the cat was on the heavier side of normal and when we told him we always keep it indoors, he'd strongly advise letting it out to run, jump, explore & exercise more.

When babyv4 was in utero we figured it was as good a time as any to try it out, so we just let the cat out during the days and expected the worst things to happen (neighbours dogs to attack it, as they are let out usually, or bitten by spiders/worse under the house, etc). But it's been 2 years now and the cat loves life. Knocks on the back door every evening before dark to be let back in. There's only been one night we couldn't find it and it stayed the night out - but it's whole life we've had a collar with bell on it so we didn't feel too bad, and noticed no dead animals around the next day.

Recently took her to the vets for yearly needles and the vet was just buzzing that we finally let her out, and said physically she was perfect weight and healthier than ever (not that she was ever unhealthy).

So yeah, not all vets etc will recommend strictly indoors. At night, sure, but during the day I think the recommendation is to let them exercise a bit.

Something that mrsv4 and I are still confused about though is the cat will knock on the back door to bet let back in to go to the toilet. For some reason, years on now, she still apparently hasn't figured out she can use the entire outside world as a toilet :lol:
