Getting a cat

[Power Hungry Midget]

Awww. That is all.

he looks exactly like my sisters cat did when it was still a kitten. *WARNING: "cute" processor core overheated, shutting down to prevent damage to system*

You can pet it if you want. Over the Internet. I'll just quickly upload my cat. You download it, pet it and upload it back. Or I can just put it on Dropbox and you tell me when you're done petting so I can take it off.

My slow clap processor still works, though.

I want to genetically engineer a cat that will forever stay a kitten :3

Blizzard you need to create a robot that follows your kitten everywhere. This robot has a soft synthetic hand. Then on the internet, we have a site with a 24/7 live camera feed and we can simply press "Pet" to pet your cat. Thats the stupidest idea I've ever came up with...

Anyways Blizzard, I hate cats, I hate them to death. I wouldn't think a second before punting a cat over my fence. However, there are cats with exceptions. Yours, my cat from my 8 year old child hood Momo, my parents named him Tom but I called him Momo, and any cat that is a good companion. I've had more or less bad experiences with cats. I almost lost my left eye. It clawed my eyeball, had to where an eye patch for awhile. This happened when I was 7. I was very hesitant to even like the cat my parents had gotten. Ah would you look at that. MOAR RANTING!

I can understand you. I am not much of a fan of dogs (I don't hate them, though).

[Tazero]

I hate dogs that i can't lift with one hand e.e

Stupid pitbulls damn thing near took my hand off D:

[Vell]

Well this is painful.

That cat you have looks almost exactly like Nibbles, except it's only just similar enough to dredge up memories. Nibbles had a white belly and legs, with one patch of orange fur on his left back leg. Otherwise, he looked almost exactly like that.

He also kicked ass. Fucking cat made a full-grown dog and another cat run fleeing from his property while not taking even a burise in response. He died like two years ago.

I miss that cat.

Turns out the cat I got doesn't know how properly clean himself and he stinks quite a bit. Plus he seems to have been used to sleeping on people's beds so making him unlearn these habits (first he switched to sleeping in the litter D: ) in his new home turned out to be a full time job. But luckily I have fixed most issues within the last 3 days so I can start spending more time on other stuff. I also taught him to play with some toys. Luckily that takes maybe 15-30 minutes per toy.

I still have to make him unlearn that I am not a toy (he climbs all over me, lol), to stop licking my face (apparently just blowing some air into his nose works wonders and I was amazed how well it works), to clean himself better and that he fully understands where his actual sleeping place is. He still tries to climb the bed all the time, but at least he goes to his actual sleeping place when I lock him out of the room. And yeah, he still stinks (along with his pooh which stinks horribly). I hope that after he can clean himself properly and after he gets used to his diet, it will go away.

I also have to pay the vet a visit to have him checked. The stinky pooh could be a disease or worms (not just the sudden change in his diet) and I have to get him sterilized anyway. At least cats are incredibly fast learners. You just have to give it all a couple of hours across a few days and a lot of patience. Seriously, he's been eating away my nerves so badly that I didn't eat properly the last few days. And I am a very, very patient person. D:

EDIT: I think that he thinks I'm his mother, though. When I lock him out of the room, he starts meowing like crazy and when I open the room, he runs to me and starts brush himself at me and all that stuff as if he's totally happy to see me again. xD In the first night I let him spend the first half of the night in my bed, but after 4 really bad hours of sleep, I realized it's not going to work this way. He was playing with me, scratching me and biting me almost the whole time I was asleep. I felt the scratches and bites in my dreams quite a lot. D:

[Ryex]

they do that kind of thing a lot as kittens. i used to have a cat named Double Stuff (it's mother was named Oreo and the kitten had a lot more white than it's mother) and way. if it say me it would run, jump, climb up my waist and then up my shirt till it was on top of my shoulder faster than i could stop it.

bet cat I've ever had
died of cancer and some sort of digestive problem.

[Blizzard]

Lol! I know I'm having fun with it now, but I also know that it won't be as fun when he gets older. I don't want him using my legs as scratch posts, especially not when I'm in shorts. :/ So I have to teach him to stop doing it. Luckily just a firm and authoritative "No" is enough. The worst problem is the smell, though. I realized that I'm a person that can be completely disrupted just by smelling unpleasant odors for a relatively short period of time. :/ As I said, my appetite is heavily messed up in the last two days. The only moment where it went back to normal was today while I was taking a shower and a a shave (took almost an hour both together). As soon as I got out of the bathroom, it didn't even take 20 minutes for my appetite to break apart.

[G_G]

Thats why you clean wash him yourself every now and then. Or do people not do that with cats.

[Vell]

Cats tend to learn how to be independent with that.

Pozer decided to not clean himself for a week or two, stunk, we washed him once and he's taken care of himself ever since.

[winkio]

cats hate being in water.  Or at least mine do.

[Vell]

Mine don't mind water, strangely. They used to jump into the shower with me, up until I decided to lock the door when I'm showering.

[Blizzard]

Yeah, some cats don't hate water.

@G_G: I know. I take a cloth soaked in warm water and simulate licking with it so he gets the idea. I also sometimes lick my thumb and do a couple of strokes over his fur like his mother would have done with her tongue.

[SBR*]

I just noticed this post XD.

Aww, he's so cute!

[Blizzard]

Today I found out he pooh'd all over his sleeping place. ._.

[PhoenixFire]

...eeewwww

Its alright, we have three cats that prefer not using the litter box.
