In reply to:

which means that she lets us get close enough to feed her, but that's about it.




That's the #1 reason why I hesitat to get a cat. Who wants a pet that's not friendly. Some friends of ours have two cats, that they spoil beyond imagination. (It's really sick) But the damn cats won't let anyone touch them. They'll show up for dinner, and then that's it. What's the point?

I had a cat when I was a kid that was awesome. He was 1/2 siamese and 1/2 Maine Coon. Smartest cat I've ever known. Loved affection. The best part was he'd play fetch! (Hell I've never even had a dog that liked to play fetch!)

Ah, ah, ah! That's taking things out of context!

The other 3 cats are very affectionate, and don't even bite or scratch. It's only the ex-feral cat, who was probably 3-4 months old when we got her. We also took away her brother, and we never made a real effort to socialize her. Two of our cats were lab cats, so they were raised with lots of human interaction and other cats. They're very affectionate. The other was an SPCA rescue.

OK...this thread just took a turn for the worse.

re: mean cats...hey, no offense to your kitties. My family has owned it's fair share of mean cats too. It just seems like luck of the draw sometimes when it comes to cat personalities. Not sure I want to take that chance.

None taken, I forgot the smiley!

There are ways to get nice cats, is all I'm saying. For one, don't let your roomate stick yogurt cups on their faces. Oh wait, that seemed to work out fine... other than the fact that she's FAT!

Hmmm, obviously Lexx isn't on TV down there. I was expecting more along the lines of "of course... Xev... what a perfect name for a new kitten".

Never mind ;(

WEll, there are so many posts to reply to. I think this is my most successful thread yet

Picture: well, I'll try with the text thing...here goes

HA! I think I'm getting better! (simplicity is the key)

This is not the first kitten I've had (the first one I ever paid $180CAD for, though) I grew up on a farm and we were the strange-cat-lady farm... also, I've very impressed with this kitten. She is the most social cat I've ever met and came pre-trained for the litter box. (although she likes to eat plants, cords, feet, etc.) She does seem to have a problem with eye-goobers, though and she needs booster shots on the 12th.

BTW, when I lived with my parents in Highschool my neighbour had a 28lb cat. It was like a large fluffy keg with feet...


oh, also I always thought Kai was kind of a girl name...especially for an asassan which a cool blade thing that comes out of his (it's?) arm.
Man, I should start watching Lexx again... such a good Canadian show (read: such a weird show)

I think it's an adorable kitten. My wife says that you need to feed that cat.

Men discussing cats? What is this, an episode of "The View"?

Sorry, had to do that, especially since I'm a big dog person...
