Cat dislikers, the most unpopular club on Talkbass

[Worf]

I love cats... they love me... My lungs, eyes, nose and throat does NOT love them. 4 out of 4 for cat dander allergies. Still it's great when someone else's cat comes up to me and "adopts" me as his or her own. I'm good for about 10 minutes around one and less if there's more'n one.

My only beef with him is when he wants to limit my practice time.

BTW, he plays fetch and I don't have to go outside in the winter to do it.

Okay, it's time for me to come out of the closet, I'm a cat hater. I despise those sneaky little psychopaths. You can keep your stinking cats.
To be clear, I don't condone violence against cats, that is wrong and I wouldn't want to sink to the level of a feline bully.
So, who's with me? Cat haters unite!


*Disclaimer The world can be an ugly place, sometimes we can take brief respite from that and have fun with something that can be taken less seriously. Like pets.

BEST. T. B. POST. EVER.

A good cat is a dead cat.

Didn't realize there were non-bass discussions going on...

Super allergic to cats... they make my lungs bleed.

Man...there is some strong hate in the last few pages. Myself, I dislike seeing anything that has fur or feathers dead in the street. I can't see why anyone would rejoice upon seeing that. Maybe it's just the California beach culture I live in.

TBH, I think there's just some awful human beings in here I'm not one that shocks easily, and have no problem enjoying occasional tasteless humor ... but some of these posters seem a little too passionate about the idea of inflicting harm on a little animal for them to be just joking around

While I don't think @slobake intended this thread to incite a cat killing campaign, I suddenly have a couple of questions to soon pose over in the 'Ask a Jesus Freak Anything' thread

All cats are a$$holes. No more cats, even though we live in the country. We are dog people. And when my band comes to the house to jam, my boxer lies down in the room right in the middle of us...and digs the tunes. Give me a number...let me know if I need to pay for a t-shirt...I'm in this thing.

I'm enjoying all these posts even though I am a cat owner. Your dog reminds me of my cat. My cat is amazing. The picture is of her watching us jam. I don't recall seeing her tail sway to the beat. She is a bombay cat which are known to act like dogs. She could be a double for the bow tie cat in these posts. She obsesses over me just like a dog. Comes to me as soon as I get home and stays with me till I leave the next morning. She starts purring even if we make eye contact from a cross the room, and it doesn't stop for a long time.

She plays fetch, catch (she is up high and I throw the mouse to her, she catches, plays, then drops it back down to me, and we repeat.) We chase each other around the house playing tag. While writing this out, she came over purring, laid down and used my leg as a pillow.

As far as toilet habits, she is inherently smarter and cleaner than a dog. If a dog's routine is messed up, who knows what corner of the house it will go. My cats litter box is in the garage with a dog door to it. We shut her door when we do lawn work and want to leave the garage open. Sometimes we forget to open her door after we're done. Instead of crapping and peeing all over, she devised a plan to go in the bathroom sink and cover it up with the hand towel. In fact, I will include a picture of that as proof. (a fine line between cool/crude, but I will risk it.) It wasn't just once, but every time we screw up, she covers for us. No ruined wood floors.

If she is left alone for more than a day, she doesn't freak out and trash the house. She goes into cat mode and chills till we get back. We just load up the food and water.

Cats can be cool. So I guess I am just asking to not use the word "all" when saying they are evil. A

Also the picture helps keep this thread anchored to bass talk.

Sounds a lot like my cat. I posted his pic earlier. He is a rescue in a way. I found him living under the stairs in the apartment building I moved into 11 years ago. According to the vet he was around 4 months old and his breed is Turkish Van. Turkish Van - Wikipedia He's not purebred of course, but he exhibits all of the behaviors described in the Wikipedia article...and then some. His behavior is very much like that of a dog. Fetch, catch, etc. He always comes to me when I call him by name. When he hears the overhead garage door open he is always waiting on the stairs for me to greet me when I come through the entry from the garage into the house. He follows me around like a dog and it's always next to me. He even understands and obeys simple commands. Just one example: every morning when the alarm goes off he moves from the foot of the bed to lay on my chest for a little bit. When I'm at the point where I have to get out of bed I simply say, "time to get up" and he immediately jumps off of my chest onto the floor and waits for me to get out of bed so he can walk downstairs with me.

I've never had a cat like this in my life but I can tell you I'll never stop missing him once he's gone. I love dogs too but I travel too much for work and live alone so I can't have one...but with my boy Grady I sort of do.

He's actually here right now purring away with approval as I type this! Because...where else would he be?

I understand and I am wondering if this was a good idea. Yes, I hate cats but I am opposed to harming anyone's pet. I have made that clear from the start.
I also would say to all pet owners to take responsibility. A cat, dog, bird and other animal friends need more than just food once a day. I don't have a pet now because I am not up for giving an animal the attention they need. I have had two cats, a dog an a cockatiel. I liked the bog and the bird better than the cats and I didn't always do a good job of taking care of them.
How some people treat their own pets is as bad as some of the folks sugesting it is okay to harm these animals, maybe worse. Getting a pet is not the same as buying a piece of furniture. Anyone considering owning a pet should pause and ask themselves if they have the time and willingness to take care of this animal for the long haul.
Please ask on the Jesus Freak thread anywhere else if you want, you can also PM me.

Yup, sorry guys for turning this from a hate fest to a cat fest, but my cat does all those things too. Always comes back into the bathroom when she hears the shower turn off so she can rub against my legs and help me dry off by licking them. I can't use the bathroom without her at the door trying to get in and then putting her front leg under the door. I then have to use my belt to touch her paw so she starts attacking it. Either that or she meows till I let her in like a two year old.

The chasing begins when we both make eye contact and I raise my eye brows. She gets on her starting blocks as we pause, and then she does a Scooby-Doo burn out as soon as I flinch, and the chase begins.

Forget meditating in a lotus position to calm your nerves. Just have a cat snuggle with you while purring. Soothes the soul.

That poor bird was probably fleeing from a cat.

HATERS GONNA HATE

 

[slobake]

I would like to apologize to my friends here on Talkbass. I regret starting this thread. My intention was for it to be along the lines of the TNC haters club but I realize now that cats are living and breathing animals the feel pain and not an inanimate object. I should have known that some folks would not take this lightly and I understand that.
I was also taken aback that some people seem proud of the fact that they have killed and or harmed pets

 

[slobake]

I'm going to ask a mod to lock this thread.

 

[Downunderwonder]

If all the feral and loose colony and wandering house cats dropped dead tomorrow it would a happy day as our birdsong would go crazy within the year.

For the record, I understood your original idea was done with humorous intent, but some took it to a dark place and that's sad.
