    Yeah, that didn't work so well on any of the cats I've owned. Sure, they might stop doing it when you are home and in the room, but leave the house, or in some cases, just the area and they get right back up there.

    You sure are an opportunist, I respect that. You take advantage of every opportunity to FAIL.

    So, what's the verdict? From the looks of it, you don't need any convincing one way or the other.

    Like Jeff said, "Who cares what other people think?"...and, more specifically, "Who cares what other people think if the ones that don't like it are the same people talking about microwaving cats and throwing them off balconies, and justifying their standpoints with arguments such as 'cats suck'?"

    Don't buy a cat...or a dog.

    Buy a guitar.

    They don't poop on the floor, lick your face, or claw up your furniture. Best of all, they only make noise when you want them to.

    ;) :D

    I'm actually still on the fence. My only issue is that the cat I'm being asked to adopt is already 7 years old. That's an old cat. But on the pro side, it's already well behaved and it has been declawed (although I'd never do that to a cat myself, it's already done anyway and is a plus for my furniture)

    So I'm not sure yet, actually. But the posts here helped!

    KingCheetah got it right. If you are getting a cat, go for a big neutered male tabby. Those are the friendliest type of cats. Orange colored tabbies in particular are usually the most friendly cats (except for Garfield, that b*stard).

    Female cats are too wussy and wishy-washy with affection.

    I think they were selling it today in downtown for 5 cents. The line was around the corner.

    I'm dissapointed that nobody has said this yet so I'm going to have to bite the classless bullet and say it:

    Single guys like p***y cats

    I would love to have a cat around, but I can barely take care of myself, so the responsibility of taking care of another living creature would probably not be that fair to it.

    I guess we've been incredibly lucky. No furniture scratching, no problems. Just awesome (2) pets.

    Agree with Batman on getting two cats. But not two females -- they would kill each other.

    It is absolutely unbelievable that people have pets that they let crap in the house. Then let it sit there for days before it's cleaned out. You people are disgusting.

    I used to hate cats, but I was in the same situation you were and couldn't have a dog in my apartment. I got talked into getting a cat and now I love them. I have two now.

    They're so much easier to take care of and much less needy than dogs. You can leave them for over a week with food, water and extra litter stocked. Never have to walk them.

    They're usually very friendly if they're raised properly and treated right.

    Ditto

    I have a feeling that I wouldn't care for that type of woman either. The girls that I have met love my cat and they own dogs.

    Deep down they probably dislike cats, but being that I am so irresistable, they just have to deal with it. It's ok with me. I don't mind.

    I have a black and white domestic it has 1 hell of a personality.
