William Graham wrote: The above has NOT been my experience, and I am 72 years old and have had many cats during my life You know, when my mother had the first traffic accident in which she was truly at fault, she insisted to the victim, to the police, to the judge and to us that she couldn't POSSIBLY have done anything wrong. She explained ad nauseum that her driving was flawless, because she had been driving for 55 years and had so much experience. It was all the other person's fault, she rationalized, because the victim had only been driving for twelve years and was clearly inept for that reason. She denied blame then and still does to this day. She still will not see that using her age as a defense was one of her biggest missteps in that case. ....I have four of them right now....two males (one fixed, and one not) and two fixed females. Even the unfixed male never went more than two blocks away, and now, at about 6 years old, he seldom leaves the property. Three of my four cats were outside cats when I got them, and the other one soon learned to appreciate being able to go out on the deck and sun herself.....I wouldn't have an inside cat unless I lived in a very hazardous place, like a city apartment, and then I would get one only as a kitten, and train him/her from birth to live inside.....Even then, every inside cat I have known lives to go outside, and runs out every chance they get. - That should tell you something right there........ Don't try to use the number of cats you have right now and the statement you've had many cats during your life as justification. It's lame, and comical. What's, "comical" to you isn't necessarily comical to me....My sense of humor is a bit more expansive than that..... He never went more than two blocks away? How far does a cat have to go to be lost, injured or killed. In my case, (where I'm living right now) a lot further than two blocks.....You should learn to speak for yourself, and your own circumstances and experience.....Don't try to speak for me. Every cat, even the best "trained" cat is motivated by prey drive. A fixed well-fed cat will still chase prey just to chase it. That's true, and I live on the edge of town.....My cats have over a hundred acres of farm land behind my house to do their sport hunting on..... But I can see there's no reasoning with you about this. That's right.....Your mind is made up, so there's no chance that I will suddenly throw away all my knowledge and experience and acquire yours.......You have already decided that you know all about me and my cats. I'll bet you can read Bush's mind and know that he lied about the WMD's too, haven't you? Let me guess.....You're a liberal.....Right? |

Obviously you don't know my cats. I can leave doors and windows wide open and none of them will go anywhere near the scary "out". Hugs, CatNipped That's true, I don't know your cats. I can only speak for the ones I have known. They have longed to go outside, but I have to say, they don't go far when they escape....They usually have just rolled around on the sidewalk just outside their mistresses' apartments. |

I wasn't speaking for you, only quoting you. Observe the following, written by you: "The above has NOT been my experience, and I am 72 years old and have had many cats during my life....I have four of them right now....two males (one fixed, and one not) and two fixed females. Even the unfixed male never went more than two blocks away, and now, at about 6 years old, he seldom leaves the property." See, "two blocks away." Your claim, not mine.

That's true, and I live on the edge of town.....My cats have over a hundred acres of farm land behind my house to do their sport hunting on..... Sooooooo, what about the aforementioned "two blocks"? But I can see there's no reasoning with you about this. That's right.....Your mind is made up, so there's no chance that I will suddenly throw away all my knowledge and experience and acquire yours... Okay, mom. That's right, the accident was NEVER your fault, mom. ....You have already decided that you know all about me and my cats.

... The message from "CatNipped" contains these words: Obviously you don't know my cats. I can leave doors and windows wide open and none of them will go anywhere near the scary "out". Just tell them "On no account, may you go outside. I forbid it. Going outside is banned. DO NOT touch that grass. Stay inside, or else." Cat Psychology Services Inc. I tried that. My former cat gave me the finger, the way cats do. |

My claim of what? - I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Look....My 4 outside cats are quite safe outside my house.....I live on a dead end street. It is full of kids and pets playing in the street all the time. The other side of my house, (the back side) backs up on a huge Christmas tree farm.....My cats would have to travel several blocks in order to get near cars, or in the company of strangers. They don't do that....They never go that far away from the property in the front, and they would have to travel a half mile or more in the back....Now, do I have to draw you a map to understand that my four outside cats are not in any danger? And even if they were, why would you care? They are my cats, and I have to live with them and their lifestyles. You don't. I am not about to tell you how to care for your cats, so why are you so passionate about telling me how to care for mine? In any case, this conversation is over....I have decided that you are a stupid troll, so I am going to eliminate you from my email system.....IOW, I am killfiling you so I no longer have to bother with you. |

Yeah....They have a way of thinking they know how other people should live, and if the other people don't live that way, then, by God, they're going to make a law that insists that they live that way, or they are going to tax the living hell out of their indiscretions until they are forced to live that way. There are many examples....Seat belt laws, motorcycle helmet laws, huge, ridiculous taxes on cigarettes, etc, etc. And, somehow, they know all about how the other people should live, even though they have never walked even for one second in their shoes. They are on their way to their seat on the floor of congress, and they are passed by a biker splitting lanes....They think, "Just you wait, you SOB, I'll fix your ass!" Then, later on that day or week, or month, they make a law that insists he wear an iron mask while he rides his bike, so his life will be miserable all Summer long. Their excuse is, "So my insurance rates will go down." But in fact, the rates are higher, because he will be more likely to break his neck and become a quadrapheligic. Had he not been wearing a helmet, he would be slightly more likely to die, which is a lot cheaper for the insurance company. So, even their sorry excuse for infringing on the rights of others is flawed. Yeah.....I hate the liberals.....I could write a book about it, and how they have screwed up my life...... Now this other AH, (whom I have kill filed, by the way) Is trying to tell me how to take care of my cats, even though he knows absolutely nothing about my home or my cats and what is best for either me, the house or the cats.....If he had his way, he would make a law that insists they remain locked up in my house.....Should the city make such a law, I would move out of town, and should the state make such a law, I would probably have to euthanize all four of them. |

Awww. Now that is a shame 'cuz it means you'll miss this: Oops, my bad! Draw a picture of that. I misunderstood your post, so I responded incorrectly. Still, I believe you are an irresponsible cat owner. Yes, it's my opinion. |

My, my! Temper! And as if that wasn't bad enough: The town I live in doesn't allow one household to own that many cats, inside or out! That'd drive him to suicide, wouldn't it? God damned LIBERALS!!! incidentally, I'm in Utah... they shoot liberals, don't they? |

You know, it's been awhile since I attacked your comments and I start to think, that maybe you're ok and then you know what happens? You jump right back into your senile, "I want my rights at all cost" and screw everybody else ranting tirade. You just don't give a damn for anyone else as long as you get your own way. You damn everybody that think the benefits of our society should be shared a little more equally and flail mindlessly at any suggestion that there's more in this life than just 'YOUR' rights. You really are a screwed up, selfish old fart and I shudder to think how you've treated other people during your long road to your current senile, decrepit, ancient condition. Your one redeeming feature is that you support some cats and that's it. Do everybody a favour will you and kiss off. The cats will do fine without you and everybody else will breath a sigh of relief that they don't have to listen any more to the asshole living in the house at the end of the dead end street. |
