Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2007WHy are some cats evil?
Mr. Bonkers is an indoor cat but he has access to a screened in patio where he watches the world go by. Occasionally a stray cat will wander through and they will immediately be buddys or he will hiss and spit and make all sorts of horrid noises at the intruder. WHat makes a cat an enemy to him? Why doesn't he react to intruders in a consistant manner? This morning a new cat came thru and the reaction was immediate dislike to the point of where he nipped me as I tried to pull him away from the nooby. YEt there are at least 4 other cats he is buddy buddys with >Mr. Bonkers is an indoor cat but he has access to a screened in patio where >he watches the world go by.

I guess that's why we all adore them so much. You never know what they're going to do next. I think they like it that way. Really y'all.....was there ever a more purrfect animal created than a cat? Heck, I don my cat ears, tail, and draw whiskers on my cheeks about 4 times per year (or at any social gathering) just trying to be cool. -bonbon >>Mr. Bonkers is an indoor cat but he has access to a screened in patio >>where [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Heck, I don my cat ears, tail, and draw whiskers on my cheeks about 4 > times per year (or at any social gathering) just trying to be cool.

Given Sammy's size, and having no trank gun handy, I would have picked running! ;> Hugs, CatNipped >>> -bonbon >> <snip> >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > CatNipped Ah! I found the link to the latest Samazon pic - and keep in mind that Ben is almost 6 ft tall and weight close to 300lbs when measuring her against him: http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Cat_Sizes/100_0803.jpg Hugs, CatNipped >>>> -bonbon >>> <snip> >>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > CatNipped And yes, that's *EIGHT* - count 'em, 8 - guitars (just *some* of his collection) pictured behind Ben!

I like the guitar background, but too bad Ben's handsome face wasn't in the shot. BTW....."Hi Ben". We're ready to come back over, mess up your house, eat up some grub, and play with the cats. One of these days.....since we're still getting settled. We'll keep in touch. Meow! -bonbon > >> <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > - Show quoted text - he is huge! and I love the totally unimpressed look on his face, kind of like "what are they doing to me NOW!!!??" what a cuddle monster (sammy i mean) bookie >> >> <snip> >> [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > of like "what are they doing to me NOW!!!??" what a cuddle monster > (sammy i mean) She (Samantha). But yeah, and yeah! She is so sweet! "Da Boyz" (Ozzy and Archer - 3 month old hooli-kittens) are constantly aggravating her, and most of the time she just looks at them like they're crazy. When she gets really, really aggravated she'll go as far as to raise her paw at them in warning, but she has never actually swatted them upside their heads like they deserve for their shenanigans. She even lets them come steal her treats away from her and just watches them scarf them down from right under her nose! Hugs, CatNipped > bookie snip > Cats.....you can't figure them!

Occasionally a stray cat will wander through and [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > YEt there are at least 4 other cats he is buddy buddys with jessie hates every single other cat in the entire world, even ones she has loved with for several months now (terri), not a lot I can do about it and they just choose to inhabit different parts of the house and keep their distance from each other. at least yours likes 4 other cats, that's a start. and NO cat is evil, they are just annoyed that they have to share their living space with these dreadful subordinate creatures known as 'humans'. Occasionally they can get the 'humans' to act as slaves to them and do their bidding but often the standard of service they have to put up with from these humans slaves is pitiful and they can be very slow to train in even the most basic of duties such as 'open the door' 'bring me my dinner' 'get me plate of tuna' etc etc. There are times when the human slaves need to be admonished for beign so slow and they do need to be reminded of their place in cat society (right at the bottom) with the occassional swipe of a claw or similar. you just have to know your place and stay there, that's all bookie Hi I have just got 3 new additions to our family so we now have 4 cats in our house and it is fabulous. I love going home to them. click on this link to see some photos the top few are of them...porcha, charlie and chester http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb38/saxrocco/ I did post a thread called 'counting down to our new arrivals' but no-one has posted anything :-( I can honestly say that our four get on quite well, Charlie and Chester are brothers, Porcha is the only female (bit like me) and Rover is our previous cat who is taking the new cats better than we thought. They just sniff each other they sometimes do hiss, but it is like they have all always been with us!!! Last night well early hours friday morning 1:45am Charlie came on our bed for his belly rubbing (so cute) then Porcha laid at the bottom of the bed and then Chester got on - would have made a great photo!!! Rover was the only one not on the bed :-( They did not stay on all night, but they are making themselves at home. Almost time to go back home to them - can't wait. Hope you all like the pics. Have a good weekend. Clare :-) >> Mr. Bonkers is an indoor cat but he has access to a screened in patio where >> he watches the world go by. Occasionally a stray cat will wander through and [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >bookie > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] > > - Show quoted text - sorry i didn't see that topic, but just looked at the [hotos and theyare such a bunch of cuties! I love the one of charlie stretched out onthe stairs, white fluffy tum-tum exposed so you HAVE to stroke it if you are going to go upstairs. it is so lovely when they are relaxed enough enough to stretch out like that, jessie does it al ot across doorways, maybe she is practising for a job as a draught excluder one day. rover is very handsome, is he greytabby or something? the pic of him and donny as kittens are so lovely, snuggled up together on the sofa, just gorgeous. I don't know how you can ever tear yourself away from them, they are so cute. where did the new 3 come from? what is their background? they seem pretty laid back together, did they live together beforehand? going to look at rest of photos now, bookie yeah I put that topic on on Tuesday as we got our 3 new cats on Tuesday evening...It is there if you want to look :-) Anyway yeah Rover is gorgeous a grey tabby indeed - he and his brother Donny were exceptionally cute as kittens...They remained cute of course...Donny was a lion to our neighbours and the three additions are in his memory...Rover needs company as do we. We got them from a sanctuary, well in conjunction with. They have not got a cattery there so we went to a ladies house near Retford in Nottinghamshire (UK) she had 60 cats, but I had already seen Charlie and Chester on the website and knew that they were the ones for me...along with a lot of others, but you can't have them all can you? Anyway they had previously been re-homed but the lady took them back as her son developed asthma so she decided against having them - aw she will regret it they are fab. Porcha was a stray so there is no history on her...They are all 2 and I look forward to going home (1 hour to go). I have got to do a big shop on the way home though...Cat food and litter is priority :-) They have to stay in for 3 - 4 weeks to get used to us and their new home, I think they are certainly settled in AND when we sneak out they have a quick peak at the big outdoors as if to say 'what is out there then'. Charlie and Chester have never been out so I guess they might be inquisitive? It is funny to watch Chester look at the fish... They certainly have character :-) Clare x >> Hi >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >going to look at rest of photos now, bookie >yeah I put that topic on on Tuesday as we got our 3 new cats on Tuesday >evening...It is there if you want to look :-) [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> >>going to look at rest of photos now, bookie Sorry Clare, I missed it too. Mind you, I have spent most of the week outside holding tape measures ready to start the human friendly garden. I was going to call it cat friendly, but as it is already their garden, I suppose I am just making it a bit more human friendly, so that we can sit with them as well when we want to. Loved the photos, & I am delighted to see that you have got them all home safely & that they seem to be getting on fine too. This is wonderful news..I bet you are all exstatic as well? I know it will take them a little while to settle down, but it is looking god by the photos already. I don't think you are going to have many problems at all. Rover seems to be an extremely tolerant cat, is that the case? He seems more interested than annoyed about them all? I'm ever so pleased that they are settling so well. You will have to keep us updated on how things are going when you get the time to if you can. It will be interesting to see how the weekend goes for you all. Best Wishes & Good Luck, Sheelagh >"o"<  SignatureSheelagh >"o"< Hi Sheelagh I was hoping to hear from you as I noticed you have not been on the forum this week.....good luck with the human friendly garden :-) Yeah they are getting on really well, Chester and Porcha run round the house at some speed!!! You can tell they are young as they want to play. So glad we got the three of them. Porcha is currently laying on our bed, they are so happy and so are we :-) James is spending time with them, he is really good with them. I think Charlie and Chester are under our bed so James is laying on the floor looking at them - he is fascinated :-) Rover has been great we could not ask for a better cat - I have been spending a lot of time with him (well when I can). I will get lots of pictures and post them on photobucket so you can all see their development! All I want to do is come home to them when I am at work!!! We have almost had them a week, but it feels like years. I have a friend at work who has a cat and she may be getting another one from where we got ours so that is good. Nice that more can get re-homed. Anyway hope to hear from you soon.
