group.20.jeffjames100@spamgourmet.com - 22 Aug 2006 10:28 GMT I got a pure bread Burmese cat about 4 years ago from a breeder. Its name is Zorro. Zorro has always been loved and taken care of. He lives with a tabby twice his size named Tiger. Tiger is vocal but only in a friendly chirping way he gets it from Zorro. Zorro is vocal but in a winning way and if you ignore him it changes to a LOUD yelling way. He is like a alarm clock turned up very loud telling you that you need to give your cat what he wants. It has been this way for at least 3 years. Zorro is skittish, but we have never done anything but show him love. Both cats are neutered and declawed. Im a 20 year old male, my sister is 17, we both live with our parents. My dad prefers dogs but we are all cat lovers. Everyone except my mom is fed up with Zorro. The cat is identical to this post http://groups.google.com/group/rec.pets.cats.health+behav/browse_frm/thread/e69d 6dafe3c6dbc2/1338eab1fd1decca?lnk=gst&q=loud&rnum=3#1338eab1fd1decca
Without the killing or being mean
But it effects every aspect of our home lives
Both cats get to go outside when they want spending a couple hours out side then coming back in Zorro stays out a lot more than tiger and even spends an entire day outside about once a month if the weather is good because he goes off on some adventure or something. but my mom gets worried and goes searching for him. When tiger wants out he sits quietly by the door until somebody sees and opens it. When Zorro wants out he walks around yelling when someone acknowledges him he continues to yell and walks to the door. he will not be quiet until he sees the door being open.
What in the world do I do, I need sleep and peace please somebody help me!!!!!

IMO If there is no medical problems sounds like a spoiled cat that has gotten its way for a long time just like a whining crying child when they cry a parent does what it wants instead of steeling themselves from spoiling them

darth_breather@yahoo.com - 22 Aug 2006 11:56 GMT Don't know about Burmese, but if their anthying like Siamese its a breed trait. They are louyd and talkative and demand attention and love people.

Those breeds are closely related, Burmese being a mix of Siamese and...can't remember what so I guess it's not strange to find a "chatty" Burmese. Anyway, I really don't have any good advice so I won't take your time, except, tell your mom not to go searching for him all the time cause cats have a much better sense of orientation than humans or even dogs (meaning, he's unlikely to get lost).

The chocolate DSH Emily barely squeaks when she meows. But she's insistent.
Niel Humphreys - 22 Aug 2006 12:08 GMT > Both cats are declawed. > but we are all cat lovers. These two statements are mutually exclusive. You can not call yourselves cat lovers if you are prepared to mutilate your kittes paws by ripping their fingers out.
Poetic justice now is that it is quite likely that the mutilation of your poor cat's claws has led to the behavioural problems which you are experiencing. Serves you all right.

Also, declawed cats absolutely should *not* be allowed outside. They are defenseless!

Cheryl - 22 Aug 2006 23:49 GMT > Also, declawed cats absolutely should *not* be allowed outside. > They are defenseless! That was my *first* thought, too. I can picture them putting the cat out to "shut it up". Of course there are too many buzz words in this post to make me think anything other than a torll. Declawed. Purebred (they wrote Pure Bread) and the poster is 20 and worried about needing sleep. When I was 20 I could go for days without sleep. Can't do that now! lol To top it all off, the OP quoted a 6 year old thread about a loud cat that was going to be killed if it didn't stop.

Deeanna - 24 Aug 2006 05:47 GMT Hi Cheryll! I didn't think much about this guy possibly being a troll until I read your post. Who in their right mind would declaw a purebred cat? In another post someone pointed out in this post that these people are cat lovers but then declawed their cats; talk about conflicting statements. That is as bad as my landlord's daughter saying she loves cats but then keeps them in the barn to kill mice, making them potential food for foxes. She never, ever let them in the house, no matter how cold it got, and it could get pretty cold in England in the winter.
I would never, ever declaw a cat. It is so cruel and inhumane. England does not allow it, thank goodness. I wish we would take a cue from them. If people are worried about cats clawing up their furniture, then it's real simple; don't get a cat. Are dog's voice boxes removed because of their constant barking? No, so why should a cat's claws be removed because of their natural instinct to claw?
Some people should not be blessed by the love of animals. Deeanna

Like there is a difference between artificially bred cats and normal > cats when it comes to clawing furniture? It has been my observation that a purebred is more likely to be declawed because people who *buy* "purebred" (and I use that term loosely) cats are more into the way they look rather than the way they act.
FWIW....

That makes perfect sense, in a sickening kind of way. Eyuu. Ugh. The cat as an ornament.
Deeanna - 25 Aug 2006 05:15 GMT wtf? Like there is a difference between artificially bred cats and normal
> > cats when it comes to clawing furniture? L, For the record, I do not and will NEVER believe in declawing cats, purebreds or otherwise. I am also strongly opposed to breeding animals for money. But, that's just me.
I don't know what FWIW means, but right back atcha.

And I agree WRT breeding and declawing. Both should be banned.

Which is a pretty good sign that, unfortunately, the OP was not a "troll" but was indeed a real person with real cats. Ugh.

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

Are you aware what declawing is? In case you don't, it's 10 separate very very painful amputations of the last digit on each toe, and extremely cruel :( I suggest you do some research, www.declaw.com, for example.
