Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2007Nobody wants him
So, I put an ad for the Geist on craigslist and some people have came over to visit him. Unfortunately, if anyone but me pets him he growls and hisses. He's really immature -- yesterday he kept hitting the shades (and he usually tries to ruin them) so I told him "no" (since he knows what it means) and when I told him "no" he would growl at me. He wouldn't be so bad but I hate the shedding plus he is so mean. Nobody knows why, I think he came from hell. Why would you even get a cat in the first place if shedding was going to be an issue for you? >So, I put an ad for the Geist on craigslist and some people have came >over to visit him.

"MoMo via CatKB.com" <u27647@uwe> Don't even bother with him MoMo he comes out here and just complains about his cat even though he is the cause of all the issue.

He will jump on my hand and rake his claws into it. He sheds everywhere and ruins my clothes. I just tried to cut his nails and even that was too hard for him. I'm getting the stupid f.ck declawed. I can't f.cking stand him. I don't care if people don't like it. He does nothing but attack me and is a total bitch. I wouldn't care if he just up and died. Thanks for the heads up Matthew. I feel so sorry for his cat though. >"MoMo via CatKB.com" <u27647@uwe> > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >care if people don't like it. He does nothing but attack me and is a >total bitch.

I'll bet he didn't start out like that when you first got him. Cats are very perceptive. They pick up vibes. You never liked that cat, remember the post about "he gets his dirty face all over everything." You have a problem, and it's not anything to do with your cat. Rhonda >>>Yes I do agree with you he posted a quick pick of the furball he is a >>>keeper [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Rhonda I agree. There are crazy cats out there, but most are extremely perceptive. You said way back that you hate this cat. The cat has surely picked up on your negative vibes and hates you right back. The mistake you may have made was allowing your cat to establish dominance over you. The best thing would be to find the cat a decent home. >>>> Yes I do agree with you he posted a quick pick of the furball he is a >>>> keeper [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > was allowing your cat to establish dominance over you. The best thing would > be to find the cat a decent home. In all fairness, there *are* mean cats out there. We had one -- Twiggy -- who was mean from the day he stormed into our lives right through the day he left. In a box. He had come into a cat-loving family but returned nothing but bites, scratches and sneak-attacks on whoever happened by. I saw him chase a huge dog out of our yard once, and another time he and I were standing on the driveway when a boy of about 7 happened by on the sidewalk. Twiggy leapt up onto his hind legs and ran at the kid waving his front paws over his head and making these horrific growling sounds. (It was quite funny, but also a bit scary for me as the "owner" (HAH!) of this cat.) He was named after the supermodel of the day because he was so wiry. We didn't realize he was a he at the time. I don't think the fact that we gave him a girl's name could have made him that angry. :-)  SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh >>>>>Yes I do agree with you he posted a quick pick of the furball he is a >>>>>keeper [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > didn't realize he was a he at the time.

Rhonda >>>>>> Yes I do agree with you he posted a quick pick of the furball he is a >>>>>> keeper [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > Rhonda Yes, he was a few months old when we got him. In the past we had always had at least two cats, but in Twiggy's day he was the only one and it's probably just as well. As far as raising him with love, every attempt was made to do so despite all the ankle biting and hissing and stealth attacks. There's a very funny story about his having to go to the vet for emergency care once, but I don't know if I can tell it here and give it justice. I'll try: As I said, he was really a nasty critter. He must have gotten into a fight with something (could have been a rhino, knowing Twiggy :-) because he came home all torn up once. My brother-in-law was the only one around so he was the lucky one to get Twiggy to the vet. Twiggy was not very cooperative about ANYthing. Dan (my b-i-l) decided to try to put twiggy into a cardboard box to get him to the vet. Lest anyone not realize there was a killer inside, he magic-marked DANGER and DO NOT OPEN and KEEP AWAY (half in jest, but half for real) all over the box. Arriving at the parking lot of the vet's, he stooped over to pick up the box and r-r-r-r-r-rippp!!! split his pants from front to back. Now what? "Hey, kid! Yeah, you! Want to make five bucks? Pick up this box and bring it into that office over there." Kid looks over the box, mouthing the words. "W-w-w-what's IN it?" "It's just a cat." "I don't believe you. I ain't pickin' THAT up! "How about TEN BUCKS!!??" "Deal!" The folks in the waiting room were a bit alarmed, too. We laughed long and hard over that.

I don't think the fact that we gave >him a girl's name could have made him that angry. :-) After I left home my parents adopted a stray they called 'Charlie'. It took quite a bit of time to determine he was a she. She had obviously had quite a tough time since her favorite toy was half of a plastic shell from a Kinder-egg which she batted my way and which I automatically kicked back to her. When she saw my foot (I was about 3' away at the time) she took off like a bat out of hell and was later found under my parents' bed. She let me hold her and pet her but she was shaking like a leaf. No bonus points for guessing what caused THAT behaviour! (I've done that numerous times with our current cat but we've had her from a feral kitten and she loves it when I do that with her) Poor thing later snuck out of the house during a snowstorm and was never seen again - at least she had four loving years with Mom and Dad. >>He was named after the supermodel of the day because he was so wiry.

Speaking of the sex of, "Twiggy" - You could hardly tell what the sex of the model was either.....:^) When I married my first wife, she had a cat that loved to be slung around in an afghan.....You would lay it out on the floor, and she would go and lay down in the center of it. Then, you would pick her up by holding the four corners of it, and sling her around and around in the air......She loved it! I often wondered if she would have liked to ride on a roller coaster........ > Speaking of the sex of, "Twiggy" - You could hardly tell what the sex of the > model was either.....:^) And as they said, "What did Twiggy have tattooed on her chest?"

That's very unusual in my book. I can't help but wonder how you found out she would like such an exciting ride. :-) SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh >> When I married my first wife, she had a cat that loved to be slung around >> in [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > she > would like such an exciting ride. :-) Actually, it's not as bad as you think. My wife's parents had hardwood floors, and the cat liked to be slid around on the floor while sitting on the afghan.....It was only a small step from there to slinging her around in the air....... >Actually, it's not as bad as you think.

We had slate in our front entrance and as rotten little boys my brother and I would dangle a ball of wool in front of our big orange 30lb tom and run from kitchen (tiled) to dining room to living room (both carpeted) across the front entrance (slate) and after 2 or 3 times poor old Ginger would slip and whack himself into the front door. He seemed to enjoy the game so we kept doing it. We also used to use the rubber casting lure on Dad's fishing line when we saw him at the bottom of the stairs to lure him upstairs...best cat I've ever had and I've had several. >> Poor thing later snuck out of the house during a snowstorm and was >> never seen again - at least she had four loving years with Mom and [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >corners of it, and sling her around and around in the air......She loved it! >I often wondered if she would have liked to ride on a roller coaster........ In November we put in a new gas fireplace. Based on how it's being used so far I think we've just purchased the world's most expensive cat toy. I have seldom seen a kitty luxuriate the way this one does! I didn't know a 6 lb. kitty could stretch out so far! >>> Poor thing later snuck out of the house during a snowstorm and was >>> never seen again - at least she had four loving years with Mom and [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > the way this one does!

Yeah, they sure love heat....That's basically how we tamed our feral male....Sure, we fed him well, but so did most of the geezers in our neighborhood....It was the cardboard box with the heating pad in it set to "low" that really did it.....Although, for a while there I thought we were going to lose him to the couple that lived a block and a half away with a covered hot tub......:^) > So, I put an ad for the Geist on craigslist and some people have came > over to visit him.

I can relate to your story.... It sounds like my darling Friskey Fred. The bad thing is that I really like Friskey and can not bring myself to part with him. I have been carrying him around in my gym bag, just to let him realize how dependant he is on me. I hope that he eventually gives up the chip on his shoulder. Also, I like the idea of leaving the heating pad in a box for him. I think that part of the reason they act up is that they feel insecure. Maybe if he can feel safe, than he might treat me better. I wish you well. Christina P.S. If he has long hair than he might be uncomfortable because of matts, hairballs and the like. I have to brush my pet everyday, or his hair will get on everything. This is the downside. The upside is that he is a gorgeous animal.
