Re: Yet another cat thread..
The above description is of a house cat, which is a totally different animal than a cat who is allowed outside with all it's "cat equipment" to play with. The two are like different species.<br />Most house cats make ideal pets, provided the criteria she laid-out about are met.<br />Once a cat is allowed to roam outside, it's over..Spayed or not, it's over.<br />Might as well shoot it before it finds another use for your car's interior.Originally posted by jsfinn:<br /> Man...you guys are scaring the hell out of me... My fiance wants a cat and I just agreed to getting one... I'm not much of a cat person and have certain criteria that the cat has to meet:<br /><br />1. Brown/Grey/Orange so that it' fur matches most things ... I'm going to hate having cat fur on my clothes.<br /><br />2. It *HAS* to be declawed. I don't want anything scratched.<br /><br />3. It's not allowed on anything but the floor, and her lap. No counters, no tables, no chairs.<br /><br />4. It's not allowed outside. Ever.<br /><br />5. It has to come from the shelter. I'm not much for killing things so I figure this is a good way to save it from being put to sleep..<br /><br />6. It has to have short fur.<br /><br />7. It ONLY eats dry food. No scraps, ever. I don't want any accidents.<br /><br />After reading all this, I'm really wondering how much it's going to destroy the house. Ugh... this sucks.
