I have 2 in the house, 2 in the garage and 4 on the deck. My husband is freaking out because the deck cats crapped in the flower pots all winter and now he insists I must scoop all the dirt out and put new dirt in and it's my fault LOL. I feed 8 cats, I must be nuts.

If your cute widdle kitty cats were bigger they would EAT you. And they might not wait for you to die first.

Cats are evil and the only thing that keeps them in line is that we are so much bigger than them. :)

Cats are evil ...

I once, very briefly, had an illiterate, superstitious maid who really believed that.

I find it more than difficult to believe that anyone who posts to FRee Republic could type that with a straight face.

Needless to say, my cats outsmarted the maid quite often ... and spent their time finding new, exotic ways to torment her ... until she went screaming from the house one day ... and never returned .... [No loss!]     LOL

I have a dog and a cat. My dog is no watch dog. I didn't care one way or another about cats until I met this mangy little Siamese mix we were sure would die. It's like the story "Millions of Cats". She is gorgeous and darling. My husand doesn't believe she's smart and just thinks she's good for keeping the dog entertained. But, the children and I love that silly kitty.

You forgot one: pest control Mice can get into our house walls through a hole by our house. It just hasn't been filled up. My cat, Abby, is the one who noticed the thing trying to chew through the wall into the actual house. We let her walk around the areas it was and it has not been in the house. It seems to be gone.
During the summer we have found a few *ick* roach shells that our cat left behind when she killed them. Yay.

[LibKill]

Who said I typed that with a straight face? I was laughing out loud. :)

[Slings and Arrows]

I believe you - my younger cat stands guard over me whenever he can.

[RepoGirl]

Oh, now that is one sassy little girl. I love that sly little smirk she's giving the camera.

My cats are all fat and psychotic, and two of them need helmets.

I am a guy who owns two cats and I'm not metrosexual or effeminate. I like cats because they're clean, mind their own business and aren't overly demanding of your time and attention and best of all, they don't need training to be socialized like dogs are.

Well said (imo). I'm a 59 year old male and have appreciated (loved) cats my whole life. I like them because they're a beautiful "machine, very efficient doing anything they do, they are stubborn and brilliant.

I also like them because they have a certain ability to tell you when you're a screw-up. Back in my wilder old days I ambled in around 3:00 a.m. all wasted from the night's excess. The cats had a way of looking at me and turning their head away with a slight backward tilt of their ears. They were just verifying that I was a fool.......... they were right.

Is that NINE?

Boy, they're beautiful! Is that one litter?

[beyond the sea]

cute kittie!

[grey_whiskers]

Boy, they're beautiful! Is that one litter?

(Sheepishly) I don't know. I cribbed the photo from one of the crevo threads since it reminded me of my cat...

Cheers!

Not to mention summertime's exterminators par excellence. No creepy crawlers in this house anymore.

Any man who doesn't like the soft, furry animals, well, is just not a real man.

Beauregard the Viking Kitty reporting for duty. And as you can tell by the Condi Rice Death Glare(tm), he is not impressed.

[beyond the sea]

Well no matter................... nine of them together is beautiful!

;-)

Mom must have been just a little weary.

[Kaylee Frye]

Ah, so you'd have a problem with me. My cats lick their butts and I let them lick me. :) Meow!

[Kaylee Frye]

Men who own cats, well . . . they're a bit wimpy if not effeminate (just like cats).

Sure thing Debbie. Just tell that to all my big Army men who turn to Jelly over kitties. And then my cats will growl and hiss at you because you are not a nice person and they know it.

[manwiththehands]

My kittens used to bathe each other and me, too. Must be "pride" behavior. But they only licked my hands. And I always washed up my hands afterwords. ;-)

[Killborn]

Wow, that's cool. I like dogs and cats. So Mrs. Schussel's insult shall not commence unpunished. :)

[Killborn]

Awww...

Oh, almost forgot...

KITTY JIHAD!
