A very good friend of mine raises Siamese.



Are they nasty? Mine was till I knocked him out while trying to attack me. After that I was the only person who could call him, he would come, and let me pick him up. We fought, I would slap the back of his paws while he tried to slash me. The best damn cat I ever had. He attacked pitbulls and people.

They can be finicky but most cats can. Just remember when a cat needs attention they will let you know. smile.gif

I think Siamese aren't nasty as much as they are smart and the smarter the cat, the less likely they are to like humans.

Actually the nastiest cat I ever ran into was a housemate's Russian Blue. Even I hated that cat. She attacked all humans and animals that came anywhere near her. The only person who could pick her up was my housemate. I used to tell the cat how fortunate she was because if anyone else had attempted to adopt her she wouldn't have made it past a day. But I had to hand it to my housemate, she hung in there.

My sister has a cat like that. I just let him know I was the one who suggested he get his nuts cut off. I get some satisfaction in that. smile.gif

Two quotes come to mind.

"A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not." ~ Ernest Hemingway

I'm not foolish enough to bring a poor bird into my house. Did that once and had Stormy climbing the drapes and walking across the hardware trying to get to the cage. I finally gave them to a friend with one old cat who could care less.

Its what he's done to the basement that frightens me. Last time it was the dryer vent being disconnected from the outside. I have no idea how or why, but he did it.

Last night I was woken by the sound of metal falling. I didn't see anything upstairs and didn't really look when I went downstairs to scoop the litterboxes. I think I'd rather live in denial for a while.

No, now don't DO that! This whole thing of cats as deities... This is CRAZY talk. I mean, they're freakin' CAT'S! They're just cats. Stop treating them as if they were... were... well, DOGS, or people. And you guys really need to know that all these cats "talking" are just photographs to which people with ENTIRELY too much time on their hands have appended horribly misspelled words!

PEOPLE, WAKE UP! This is a sickness you have. No cats in the ceiling. No cats in the basement. And that GD smell that makes visitors recoil is the disgusting litter box in your house! The commercials and your friends are LYING to you - cat pee and shit really DOES stink!

Can you tell I spent part of this past weekend in several sessions trying to removed some matted knots from the coat of my ancient gray tabby? DAMN did she put some holes in my hand. But she's gotten so old she's just not grooming everywhere the way she should.

I finally had to wear a heavy leather glove while finishing off the last of it.

I figure we're now even for her having apparently decided long ago - and my discovering only recently - that the dark place under my corner table makes a dandy impromptu litter box for her.

May I suggest you just take her to the groomer and let them deal with combing her out? Or shaving her? One of my co-workers used to take his elderly, long-haired cat to the groomer to be shaved every spring because he lived in the country and the cat would go outside, get all kinds of weeds in his fur and not clean himself well.

This is why I only take short-furred cats into my house. A long furred dog is bad enough and even that was a horrible lapse in judgment on my part.

Like I said, I considered it revenge for the whole "Your carpet is my cat box" episode. Hell, I can live with the punctures - just as l win in the end! And I did.

She's not actually a long hair - just your average gray tabby.

Funny thing is, she's got this weird form of being petted the she adores. Put my right hand on her face, from about her nose on up, cover her eyes. And I have to press VERY hard all around her skull and stroke back, over her head and ears and down her neck and back. If I don't press and squeeze hard enough, she'll shove into my hand to make it firmer. It has to almost crush her or she's not satisfied. If I'm not pulling her fur and skin hard enough to slant her eyes, it's just nowhere near good enough for her.

As long as I'm doing that with one hand, she doesn't care if the other hand is poking a fork into her side. I could set her on fire, and she doesn't care as long as she's getting that hard massage on her face, head and neck. She sure doesn't care about matted hair being combed out. I guess I have an S&M cat.

Trouble is, sometimes I needed BOTH hands while dealing with nasty knots, and THAT's when she'd get PO'd at the hand with the comb. Then she'd strike out and his, and hook one of those needle claws into the thumb or the back of my hand.

Finally, we're big on all the kids being responsible for their pets, including grooming. (And my wife was a groomer through college, and has always handled the clippering) So we can't get away with the adults handing their pets off to the pros.
