Your cat will never threaten your popularity by barking at three in the morning..

An unaltered cat will howl at the moon when it wants a mate. Just ask anyone who has lived with one, or near one.

He won't attack the mailman or eat the drapes, although he may climb the drapes to see how the room looks from the ceiling. - Helen Powers.

Cats do shred things in the house. I know this because I live with 8 cats, and they have shredded the couch, the mini-blinds, the clothes hamper, the box springs of my bed, a door jam, bathroom towels, toilet paper rolls, basically anything that they can get their claws into.

Oh, and moving something up off the floor does not protect it from being shredded unless it is at least 8 feet above the nearest climbable surface.


Someone always has to argue. If ya' don't like it, move on and find another one. I definitely didn't come back here to have someone try and throw an argument at me. This is the exact reason why I became disillusioned with SETI and left. It's just a quote mate!

Oh my....

Please pardon me for making you feel disillusioned. That was not my intention.

I wasn't arguing but just observing that the quotation is not in line with my experience. If your experience is different from mine, that is fine with me, and I do not feel the need to speak further on the subject in any case, so please don't leave SETI on my account.

A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays, and for the last three he stays. - English Proverb

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function

Never try to teach a pig to sing. You'll just waste your time and annoy the pig.
