Have 5 cats. want to ask

romevi · « **Reply #1 on:** Wed, 23 November 2016, 13:01:53 »

Yeah. Only basement-dwellers get them because they can stay indoors and don't really need to be taken outside like dogs. That's why you see more pics of them on the internet. And when they do need to be taken out they're usually independent about it and are fine on their own.

I personally think the best kind for geeks is any kind of tabby.

Any more than 2 is +1 crazy point per cat at up to 4, and then +2 crazy points per cat at 5 or more.

And people who have a lot of dogs are always far more crazy than people who have a lot of cats.

I just have one cat.. my wife is a cancer survivor .. towards the beginning of her chemo treatments this ginger b*stard started sneaking into our home and jumping up on my wife while she was laying down watching tv ..because she was too sick to do much else.. Anyways the cat started hanging out more and more.. eventually he just moved in all together.. Fitz then became my cat, his old owners agreed to give him to my wife when they learned what was going on.

He is actually a very nice cat (except he has the cat PTSD or something and will sometimes bite you for no reason what so ever..happily as he been our cat longer the biting is more perfunctory now rarely drawing blood). He doesn't scratch anything or chew cords and he adores my wife ... I'm pretty glad he is around.

I wouldn't however want to have more than 2 cats... 1 cat is actually kinda optimal.

Fitz the cat who decided we needed a cat:

No! Cats are the favourite of children and old ladies.

The ultimate in geekdom involves not having any emotional connection with animals. I think that's the kind of cold-heartedness we should aspire to!

2 cats
1 dog (or 2 dogs 1 cat)
1 small rodent or bird
1 reptile or fish tank

I think that is the maximum allotment of pets before people start looking at you funny. Anyone care to assess my formula?

Yep.
Cat meows and complains when he's bored after I get pooped from playing with him. Solution is open the door to adventure and watch him pounce around the grass.

Best part is his litter box is spotless.

Having a cat? Maybe not... Taking your cat to your neighborhood coffee shop? Totally geeky, and something I do at least once a day.

Findecanor · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 07 January 2017, 01:58:15 »

There is a race of (hairy) cats that is supposed to be allergy-free. It was specially bred somehow, but it is very expensive to buy and the breeder neuters all cats so they can't be bred by anyone else. Some people claim to have been affected by it still, though.

The allergen is from the cat's skin and saliva. Hairless cats cause fewer problems because there are no hairs for the allergen to collect in, but again too much contact with the cat can still cause problems.

And seriously... I really feel sorry for hairless cats, and for cats that are too inbred.

Depends on the use. Schrödinger's application has become a geek cliche. And I don't even really play games, but love the cat fountain:

.

As far as the ones made of meat, I love cats. Don't have one at the moment because I live alone and am gone a lot, and it wouldn't be fair to the cat. But that will change at some point and I'll be re-catted.

People GEEK OUT HARD on pets in general.

For example, my wyfe thinks the dog is her baby. She buys it clothes, 3872394 brands of fancy treats, gives it priority on couch over me, takes pics of it daily (despite it being the same pic over and over), and so on.

The best definition of geeky I can think of is you could explain to somebody you've got a cat and they'd understand what you meant without further explanation. They wouldn't be like "You mean like a tiger or something?"

If you say you like videogames for instance and it isn't Call of Duty or a big brand a lot of people have lost you already. Hence, geeky.

We have 10 but live on a Farm. Not crazy people. They are very well taken care of. There are a couple hundred other animals here. Outside of course. The cats live indoors. I hate the Stigma. Sure 100 cats in a one bedroom apartment is a hoarder. You have to look at each situation individually. I also hate "Crazy cat lady". That is mean and some people with multiple cats are just fine. Some are not at all of course. It all depends if they take care of them. It does not automatically qualify a person as "crazy" though. Some people just love animals and are fully qualified to take care of them. That certainly does not mean everyone. In fact I would recommend most people do not have more than Two cats or dogs present.
