Some advice needed about Pets

[Cardinal Fang]

Thought I'd post this thread in the hopes of getting some advice. Not because I think a wealth of information will follow, but mainly because I bored.

Very bored. So very farking bored. So bored that I'm contemplating flirting with the new girl at the coffee shop across the street to see if I can be more strange than I've already revealed to her. Anyways....I have a female friend from university that I keep in touch with. She's married to my friend and she has a pet cat. It's not so much a pet as it is Demon Spawn. Strangely enough the cat's name is Diablo. I've had Diablo over at my place a few times to take care of her when they go away on vacations and it never goes well. Well, they're going away this week and I've been asked to take care of this cat again. My question is who's gonna take care of me?

I don't like this cat. In fact....I hate cats in general. Something about their personalities sets me off. This holier than thou attitude freaks me out. I think this cat senses this and uses it to her advantage. She knocks things over constantly. Once she finally settles in she makes me nervous. So much so that every time a walk past her I honestly believe she flipping me the bird. I've even caught myself looking in the mirror to see if it would happen. Ya.....I know...that's strange but she does to me.

She usually comes with a bunch of toys that she likes but she's disinterested and if I'm honest I loose interest in playing with her toys. So to those that have cats.....WHAT THE FARK SHOULD I DO?

But don't give it all to the cat .... save a couple bottles for yourself.

I would hide cat nip all around the house. Drive the little bastard wild. Put it within reach but not accessible. I don't like cats either. Do the same with it's favorite food. Use a box that has little holes poked on the lid so only the aroma escapes.

Seeing as your a Borgia please resist the temptation to use poison to rectify your dilemma.

I always result to bribery when all else fails. Cat treats seem to work well.

This cat might actually do better in her own enviroment might be better to have her stay in her own home where she knowss everything there and you come in there and visit to change the water, littre and food. or you could just recommend to your friend to use a cat sitting service www.casameow.com is a great one

Yes the cat can sense when you do not like them but since this particular cat is being moved while her regular home is unavailable she could be stressed by that change. cats love thier routine they do not like when things are move around abrutly.

When I am away I always hire a cat sitter that way I know my cats are in their own home and I know they like the company of some human around that is responsbile to take of their needs.

Why bother taking in the cat in the first place. You hate cats (me too- I find them useless). Can you just tell your friend the truth and let them find someone else to babysit?. There are places they can place their cats while on vacations and they must pay. I believe $25 to $30 per day.

I think they are using you.

I think it's a deep seeding desire to do something for her that may result in her rewarding me with sex. We dated in University and I have found memories. Ya....I'm a guy so sue me.

In all honesty the cat is fine. I'm the one with the issue and they are friends to me so I don't mind doing this as they have done plenty for me in the past.

We all use each other in a way don't we? My original question is born out of boredem here at my office..

Being bored is not a good thing.

Cats are clean animals and they love baths! Tabby will become your best friend for all time following a good scrub.

Does your boss know you are bored Hmmmmmm :biggrin2:

Unfortunately he does. And given that I am the boss I've found myself in a strange situation. I had no choice but to call myself into my own office and give myself a reprimand. You should have seen the look on the people in my office that stopped by to listen to the conversation.

I resent that!

No. You have to draw the line somewhere in a professional work place and I've drawn it at summer interns.

Get a lazer pointer and tease the cat.

How do you feel about bats?EACE:

Get a lazer pointer and tease the cat.

I thought about that once. I could spend a good half an hour pointing the light in the corner and thinking to myself "what I dumb-ass cat chasing a stupid light." And then I realized "HEY!" This dumb-ass cat has me wasting half an hour pointing a stupid light in a corner to entertain him.

How do you feel about bats?

I like them when they're served with the right wine and baisted in truffle oil with a sage and mushroom sauce.
