embankment Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I don't think I have ever not had a cat or cats . Ideal family pets . And contrary to popular thoughts they are loyal. At the moment we have Ozzy ( Osborne) and Freddy (Mercury). Both now around 7ys . They are rescue cats, came to me after a shit start in life. They are funny , intelligent and calming. Who else has a moggy ? ( note to anyone in Westhoughton, we are talking cats not mice ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Cats are ace, I've had them all my life. JFTR dogs are ace too and I've had them all my life too. Best thing about cats is their independence and, unlike when you have a dog, you don't have the guilt if you have to work late knowing they're sat at home miserable without you. The anti-cat brigade usually have never had one and see only what the cat is like outdoors where it comes across as shifty ... which they are to a certain extent and that's how they survive in the outside world. Once in the house they're a completely different animal, especially if you treat them as a pet rather than just an animal that you have to feed. Like dog, they all have different personalities. As mentioned on another thread, when I had one that was poisoned with antifreeze it absolutely broke my heart. Especially as she was so young, had a hard start to life and was such a sweet natured, quiet little thing. As a kid I also had a cat we all loved that was rat poisoned by next door but one - could never prove it be we all know the evil old cunt did it. Animals, especially cats and dogs, are as much part of the family as anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embankment Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Off topic - neighbours once put rat poison tainted meat in my back garden. ( Dog ate it). Cats had more sense. Result - Front door bust open. Meat stuffed into husbands mouth. 20mins later police in my front room , heavy squad. Me sat in my best shirt and pants ( proper family scene). Luckily one was a dog handler. Showed him more of the meat in the garden. 10 mind later I was handing over £25 for a new door catch . Next morning I erected the Berlin Wall. Bloody eyesore but it stopped up for 3years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is called Midnight, lost its leg trying to fight a fox, which there are loads round here. Size of a large kitten but tries to fight anything that comes into her garden. Falls asleep on my belly each night, then moves down to sleep down by my feet, at 6am comes and curls up between me and the mrs. Sleeps all day next to me while I work at home. she's fab and grumpy as fuck. Her son fucked off when we moved house and has been adopted by the whole street. Comes for food at 9am everyday an then don't see hi again. Saw him oce a coupe of miles away from home - looks like he's got a pretty big patch. She hates him.

ErnestTurnip Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Two at ours at the minute, one is a rescue and the other is a stray or had been abandoned or neglected for whatever reason, it was in a right state when it decided to let us sort it out. Wife has always had rescues or strays while I've been with her, the current ones are easy going and no bother. She'd love another, might even consider it because she's struggling a bit at the minute.

tshape Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Got a black cat called Barney (darts world champs was on when we got him) Paid 50 quid for him as a kitten from Cats Protection. Love him to bits. As somebody said he's funny as fuck, affectionate, clean and well behaved. He often comes in through the upstairs window and has done for ages. Jumps on the bins, onto the fence, up to the extension roof and then just sits and waits on the windowsill. Love the mad places you find them sleeping in the house too.

Dr Faustus Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 3 at the minute, all related. Chinese George (tabby with a cross on his back, questionable eye sight) Axl (the ginger) And Socks. All pretty chilled, don't like the dog though. Socks and George put their head forward when offering to fist bump. A lot more socialable since the eldest moved out. Previously had Kevin Davies, but she disappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embankment Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 I know cats annoy a lot of people by crapping in their gardens . And I totally agree. But if given a chance and provided with a litter tray they will use it. Ours , can spend all day in the garden but come in for a crazy.. They also cover it up. Now that can be annoying, sometimes they take ages making sure its all covered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
