Cats are mean

Cat owners don't know what a healthy relationship looks like. They accept all their bullshit - noctural running around, sudden sprint bursts knocking shit all over the place, ignoring you unless they want to be petted, hiding away for days, scratching your furniture, etc.

Dollface thread

The clip means nothing. The cat is just there - nothing spectacular.

Nothing to see her folks....

Gallface thread.

Is he staring at the retard?

^We have a winner!

Dolorousface thread.

Cats CAN be subtle, though.

They are beautiful animals but I don’t think I can handle one in my dotage. Too self centered.

I’d like to think the cat is Brittany Murphy reincarnated…

I love you, OP.

I love my cat who is in some ways a typical feline, but my dog really balances things off. I’m old now and need to be needed.

Even Jackson Galaxy said that he prefers dogs to cats.

Who are these people with aloof cats? Mine won’t even let me go to the bathroom alone

I hate you, op. You're going to hell..

I laughed waaaay to hard at this.

Who wouldn't want a little lion in their living room? My cat is the perfect pet. So they're a little judgmental...he's earned the right. He can be cuddly too, just on his terms. And he smells like clean laundry, unlike dogs, who generally stink.

Absolutely DONE with the stinking, puking, dingle-berry-laden flea bags.

Oh shit,I’m going to hell for laughing so much at this..

That is one problematic kitty. Though let's be real, we all have an immediate innate reaction when we see someone with an unusual face – be it from a genetic syndrome or a disfigurement. It's just that our civility kicks in in less than a second and we're able to not react. Kitties don't have that!

Cat may not be mean, but you are, R5.

Agreed, BonniePrinceCharlie. R5 is nasty; I’ve had this angry misanthrope blocked for ages.

If you think the vid is hilarious, try reading the comments.

I had to stop cause my stomach was hurting so bad from laughing so hard.

Every cat is an individual. It seems like it is the cat’s house, and the boy could be new to the environment. The cat is trying to figure out whether the new creature is welcome or not

Nah, he knew what's up. 😂

No Op, you!

This is why I love cats. I've always had cats and never head an aloof one. Mine were clawing at the doors while I was in other rooms. Couldn't sit on toilet or take a shower without them raising hell to get in and, yes, they'd stare in judgment. My mother ended up putting her cats litter box in her bathroom because her cats decided it was time to use the john when she did. Each one has their own personality though. I've had total love bugs who would follow me like dogs and then more reserved ones but they were all hilariously entertaining.

My cat is not self-centered.

I think cats get a bad rep because their faces and voices are not as expressive as dogs having evolved as solitary hunters, not pack hunters. To us, their sounds and faces convey anger or irritation, when that may not be how they are feeling

Cats are whores.

A friend was recently hospitalized and I took care of his cat.

Cat was all over me. Kneading me, snuggling me, following me everywhere, purring at me, sitting on my head and neck in the morning to wake me up, etc. etc.

Friend is home from hospital now and cat suddenly acts like he doesn't even know me. Turns his head or sprints away at the sight of me.

Whore.

I take it you dislike dogs as well because they're even dirtier than cats.

r1 good attentive cat owners often don't have those problems because their cats aren't stressed out and bored

R29, the cat had successfully infected you with toxoplasmosis, which was its goal.

Of course it was done with you after that.

Put the volume up, this makes me laugh

I had a dog who would go berserk and start barking and growling whenever we encountered a drunk when we were walking downtown. It was amusing until I discovered she’d also do it when she saw someone with cerebral palsy or other conditions that made them “different” - then it was super embarrassing, so it’s not just cats!

I read somewhere that animals may smell when is "different" or drunk.

Cats are fucking awesome 😎

My foster cat is inscrutable. Half the time, she's sweet , even gives me love-eyes and head butts, but the other half, she's keyed up and antsy and will even run up and bite me (glancing blow, no injury at all) and run away. (That's only happened twice in 6 weeks.) I give her several extended hard playing sessions a day. I wonder what her deal is.

Troll

I don't like seeing cats jumping up onto and sitting on kitchen counters. Their feet have been in cat littler and their asses, well, you know.

And dogs lick your face, [R39] — and god knows where that tongue has been! I’ve seen dogs eat shit, anything!

Dogs slobber and drool gobs of saliva, too. Ugh!

But dogs generally don't jump up on food prep areas and plant their assholes on counters.

It's possible to find both cats and dogs dirty, you know R40.

Most animal lovers are filthy fucks.

I take it you don't like animals R42?

A big criteria for me dating anyone is a love for animals. If they don't, they lack empathy in my experience. Big red flag.

I knew a woman who allowed her dachshund to lick her guests plates at a Thanksgiving dinner. Stopped eating at her house.

After they were finished R44? If so, I don't see the problem assuming they go through the dishwasher.

The weirdest part is that they have the cat at the dinner table.

What’s so weird about that?

R45 please tell me you aren’t serious.

Probably my favorite comment (yup, I'm going to hell):

[quote]Cats is meat

There, me doll. Fixed it for you!

My cat kicked me out of bed this morning and told me that it was time for me to go. When I asked if I could at least take a shower, my cat told me he only had only one towel saying, "I'm not running a bed and breakfast here." He didn't offer me anything to eat either - non event toast.

That cat is just plain MEAN.

Remember, Hell is hot.

For those of you complaining about cats sitting on counters etc where food has been prepped, I should point out that cats are self-cleaning and rim themselves all the time to keep the "back door" clean, so...

The cat can sense the extra chromosome.

Gasp @ r55

Fucking control your fuck trophies, heteros. 🤬

r56 Throw the bisexuals in that scold, too. They statistically breed the most brats because they're more likely to do risky and dumb shit like shirk contraception.

My dog was a racist. I adopted her from the Houston SPCA when she was about a year old. I was walking her and she kept going after the male workers and then would be normal with my neighbors. I thought it was because they were wearing caps but, no, she went after a latin friend of mine who was visiting and he wasn't wearing a cap. And it was only latin men too, she was fine with our black friends. She eventually stopped since I only date latin guys.

My cat is a snuggly ball of love. I agree with the person upthread who said kitty was reacting to an very unusual face on a huge head. My partner stares at people who have full sleeves and tattooed legs. It's embarrassing. I have to elbow him to get him to snap out of it.

R58 It's not racist. It's just a preference. OK?

R48 dishwashers sterilize dishes so explain.

This tuxedo cat (Rupert) doesn't like kids, but this little kid didn't push the issue and wisely walked away.

The YouTuber is the uncle of this little kid. He tells the kid: "He [the cat] doesn't like you."

I'd eat food out of a bowl / plate that a dog ate from. (After it's washed.)

However, maybe the incensed poster is more wary of the general laxity of cleaning standards of someone who'd let dogs lick the plates "clean."

[quote]I discovered she’d also do it when she saw someone with cerebral palsy or other conditions that made them “different."

Like skin color?

[quote]R44: I knew a woman who allowed her dachshund to lick her guests plates at a Thanksgiving dinner. Stopped eating at her house.

That one's an old internet trope that keeps cropping back up on Buzzfeed, Reddit, etc. I just ran across it again a week ago on a list of 'Things People Do That You Can't Believe,' 'What Was The Last Straw,' or something like that.

[quote]The Reddit post about a guy going to his new girlfriend's house for dinner and they let their dogs lick the plates clean then put them back in the cupboard without washing them; the guy never went back.

R59, is pretty much your average DLer upon meeting a man they find attractive...

R37 here. Make that "three times" now. :(

It's not really a bite. It's a sudden attack without violence. You might think it's because she's bored, but I play with her a lot, and it tends to happen soon after a play session has ended. I think she gets too keyed up. Luckily, she's not my can and will be someone else's problem one day. I do love her, but she's too squirrely.

Not my CAT. She's not my can, either, for what it's worth.

What do you mean "not really a bite"? What kind of attack are you talking about? Someone else's problem one day? I hope people get informed about shit like this. Now, I can see why people "return" animals to shelters. If they're not disclosing this kind of behavior, I can see why. If that cat is getting exercise and is still attacking you, that's a problem and I would not feel good about not disclosing that.

My grandmother had a longhaired Calico who would nip her ankles when she raised her voice, even on the phone.

My mother hated cats. Almost a phobia of them. They knew it. Whenever she walked into a room with my grandmother's Siamse cat he would make a beeline to her. Rub on her legs, try to jump on her lap, it was hysterical.

I plan to disclose it with the advice of the people who run my rescue.

She jumps at me suddenly and puts her paws or teeth on me but doesn't cause any injury. She's not jumping at my feet as I walk, as many cats do, but rather leaps at my arm over the armrest while I'm sitting down, for example.

Trolls all over this thread. Humans are a fucked up species starting with the OP.

She wants to play rough r73. Don't indulge it.

Thanks, hon. I won't. I scold her briefly (verbally, usually a quick yell because she scared me) and then ignore her.

You could substitute a more acceptable form of play. They love chasing crumpled balls of paper.

and love getting in boxes.

And bags. Especially if you poke from the outside to keep it interactive.

My cats boss me around but they’re very sweet

I bought a new bath mat and set it out Sun night. Well, my big cat didn't notice until the morning and it freaked him out. He was even lifting it up with his claws to look underneath. My little cat was not at all freaked out by the bath mat. Perhaps because he is older and wiser.

R74 doesn't like being stared at by a cat that "knows."

It works both ways.

What an astute feline! Amazing!

Mean to the paper towel roll :)

r87 I'm so glad mine don't have that habit.

I hate when cats and dogs do shit like that…

Who cares if Haitians eat them?

Haha, R58, my sister's late Cockapoo was a whole xenophobe. One of their homes was in Clearlake, not far from NASA Johnson Space Center; it was chockful of wealthy Indians, Bangladeshi, and Muslims. Every time they'd go walking Chloe would go nuts barking at them.

Sister was mortified, and I told her maybe it wasn't bigotry, it was the flowing garments. She had the same issues with Halloween--anything dressed like a ghost, she would try to light their asses up.

She was a Class A bitch in so many ways.
