Cats in general are more feminine, dogs are more masculine.. So I can see the correlation between men who dont like cats not liking women. Personally im not a big fan of cats.. but girls are OKScooterG wrote:Not too sure - I'd never bother finding out if a non-cat lover liked me or not!(But I read about a study that made a correlation between men who don't like cats also being likely to not like women....)

BTW, I see nothing wrong with declawing a house cat.. an outdoor cat is a different story, as its claws are its only defense.

Cat doesn't really get in our way.. sometimes if we walk past her she'll attack our legs... and I don't mean in a playful way, I mean claws extended teeth sinking in rabid kind of attack. Thankfully she hasn't done that lately.
One time I was just sitting at my computer and she jumped and bit my arm for no reason, and left a nice little bruise.
Its the unprovoked attacks that really get on our nerves, because they usually hurt the most.
I heard getting her fixed may help calm her down... but how much?

I may cut his tail off later just for the fuck of it too.horton wrote:you had your cat declawed? what a fucking cunt.scourge34 wrote:That's not the only reason. His playing and biting doesn't bother me. This neighborhood has enough strays. No need to have mine adding to the population. Not that he'll get outside, but just in case. He's also been declawed and vaccinated.I cant spell u wrote: How mean.
"Yes, my cat loves to play but it pisses me off. Time to get it fixed, he hehehehehe..."
if you dont want a pet that scratches shit, dont get a cat.
cats use their nails as much as humans ues their toes. it helps their balance, especially when they land after jumping off the table or summat.StormShadow wrote:

I see nothing wrong with pulling your fingernails out and removing your thumbs.StormShadow wrote:ScooterG wrote: BTW, I see nothing wrong with declawing a house cat.. an outdoor cat is a different story, as its claws are its only defense.
Ive had loads of cats, and there has never been an issue with them scratching shit...however my cats were all fixed, and not expected to live inside 24/7
the whole concept of a housecat is retarded, the best thing about having cats is knowing that at night your cute little kitty is out killing things.
Don't put your hand down to play with her, then, play with a string or something. I would handle her very gently when you're petting her. I've had a lot of cats, sometimes you have to work for a while to tame them down. When you pet her, pet her very gently and pull your hand away when she starts biting. They need calming down, not more agitation.
Getting her spayed would be a good idea, I don't know if she's gone into heat yet, but it's hard to sleep with a cat in the house in heat, they yowl and posture all night.

Tell that to my local animal shelter that puts 100's animals to sleep every week because owners dont bother getting them fixed. But im sure its much crueler to safely and painlessly remove a pair of balls then to literally kill millions of animals weekly because they are not cute enuf to be adopted.Foo wrote:I don't think declawing is in a different league to neutering. Both are pretty cruel practices.
The argument of how necessary each is doesn't seem to hold much merit either, since they're both entirely dependant on culture and so is whether you would even want a cat in the first place.
