Why do you have a cat that hates you? My dog loves me... will do anything I tell him to do, never leaves my side and if someone tries to harm me, watch the fuck out... he's got jaws of steel. When we were playing a couple years he accidentally bit my hand in the soft area between fingers... the worst imaginable pain I've ever felt and he wasn't even trying to hurt. I am convinced that my dog could kill a man if he wanted to. Yet he feels obligated to be a servant to my next door neighbor's 3 year old girl who ADORES him more than anything... and he adores her just as much.

Who the fuck gets animals who hate the? I never understood cats.

well my son went to humane to get a cat for me....they had a long hair loving cat...clark....in the cage with him was roland....they offered both cats to my son for about the same price...so my son got clark for me..and got roland cause he was with clark...roland and clark are best buds that is enough for me...

my dogs are devoted to me...both of my dogs...have the same attitude...if the food goddess aint happy...you kill whatever needs killing....lol...

roland hates everyone but clark....but he is clark's best friend...so he stays and we care for him.

I love my cat.

I have loved every cat I have ever shared a home with, but the replacement cost of a cat is seldom greater than their repair costs.

You know that already, of that I am quite certain.

So there's nothing to say to you but I am sorry that your kindness, your loyalty and you sense of responsibility are costing you so much.

Remember...no good deed EVER goes unpunished.

Our cats are now strictly indoor cats. We finally got tired of all the birds, mice, rats, squirrels and assorted bugs they would bring in and let go. They are finally getting used to being indoor cats after a couple months. You might consider doing the same.

I once spent $350 on a registered Persian kitten for my son.

She was the most hateful, vicious animal I have ever owned. She would catapult herself at my legs and ankles every morning as I dragged myself to the kitchen to get her (very expensive) breakfast, and bite and claw. Not playfully, leaving blood and slicing me open.

You didn't even consider cuddling her.

If you brushed her (and I was gentle) you had to wrap her in a towel, she growled, hissed and bit viciously..I can't emphasize that word enough....the entire time. And would have a go at you when you let her go.

I put an end to the early morning attacks finally one morning after being sliced and punctured one too many times...I launched her across the room with my bare foot. She'd still run at me at breakfast, but she kept a respectful distance.

I gave that bitch away to a human bitch who raised Persians and didn't even thank me when I handed over her impressive (and free. Shit, I would have paid her to take that harridan.) registration papers. I imagine they were well suited. I didn't tell her she should probably get a crate to travel with the cat...she also had a tendency to attack and puke in the car during travel. I imagine it was a fun ride home (about 45 miles).

I'll give shots and pills to horses and pitbulls but you couldn't have paid me to put my fingers in that whore's throat. She would have taken the meat off the bones of my hands, and I would have probably died of some horrible infection.

BTW, strolling...birds carry all sorts of lovely diseases that can kill people and other mammals. Be careful. Don't touch the dead ones, and if you have it, take it with you to the vet....

That 3 year old neighbor I was talking about loves to poke, prod and pull everything there is to poke, prod and pull on my pitbull. He couldn't care less... he's happier than a pig in shit because this kid is giving him attention. She asks for his paw, he gives her his paw. She asks him to lay down, he's on his back, paws in the air quicker than a inmate at fat camp will attack a pizza pie fresh from dominos.

The real dogs that have a tendency to bite, are those that weigh less than 10 lbs. Those little fucking pugs or boston terriers or even worse, chiuahuas are the most annoying little creatures on this earth.

It's Obama's fault, after all he is the President now and the buck stops with him. Health care for pets should be a right!
