cat was being annoying so i wanted to lock him out using the catdoor settings but i accidently locked him in instead of out and he pissed in all my plants. does that happen in your country?
no because I'm not fucking stupid, my cat is house trained, and I'd never let my cat go outdoors because it's too dangerous for themHe's an indoor kitty living the good life
>>221706347Owned. Ethered. Blown the fuck out. Mogged. Karmically justified retribution. Hoist by thy own petard. As thou hast sown, so also shalt thou reap, and he who soweth the wind shall reap the whirlwind. Such is the nature of things, Amen.
>>221706381Cityfag or cat too dumb to avoid cars?
>>221706391>and he who soweth the wind shall reap the whirlwindsick lyrics bro
my cat is a feral hoodrat and got into fights with other cats so he had to have his tooth pulled. Now he is banned from going outside after dark.He also takes all the blanket.
>>221706509A warlord denied his rightfully conquered lands
>>221706527thinks he is top shit until the vacuum turns on
Should I adopt the stray cat that I feed
>>221706412imagine trusting your pet's life to Am*rican drivers watching youtube in an SUV.
>>221706598he can just dodghe
>>221706598Actually I was trusting my cat's life to his ability to listen and watch for cars and leave the road long before they ever got there. He was a smart cat so he mainly avoided the road to begin with, just crossed it carefully to get to the field on the other side when he wanted to hunt mice or was tired of prowling the pines on our side of the road. Not sure if cityfags just can't understand a world where there aren't always five cars passing both ways at once or what He was a Maine Coon mix in the native New England of his ancestors. It would have been shameful to deny him his won't to roam.What a cat. Truly a noble creature.
i live on a farm and my cats live with me in my house and also in the barn, they often follow me when i go on walks. and they love to meow and bring me gifts of vermin, they're always so excited and proud when they do that.
>>221706691I always felt bad that I couldn't fry up the vermin and had to throw them away with a shovel right in front of the cat
>>221706347no, you should get a couple litter boxes. that's not normal. in your houseplants??
>>221706675I live in the suburbs and whenever people see 50 feet of open space they slam the pedal to the floor. I wouldn't trust my cat's life to them for 100 trillion dollars.
>>221706347i'm not a petfaggot
>>221706720oh you know what made me feel really bad? the other day, one of my cats gives me a fat dead, mouse. Im thinking "great job, good girl." then it turns out, it was pregnant. there are babies latched onto the dead mouse nipples, still nursing. I left it outside, they were gone in the morning. that whole ordeal was a bummer
>>221706747tranny
>>221706787oh shitthat never happened to me but one time our cat brought an entire fucking squirrel, there was blood everywhere and half of its body was gone. it was like half the size of the cat
>>221706827they're so brave. the biggest thing a cat ever brought me was a turkey poult. i actually saw it happen, the cat stalked up on the chicks as they were following their mother, grabbed it in its mouth and ran over to me. the hen was pissed. it was chasing my cat. i let it go, grabbed the cat and took her inside. the chick ran back to its mother. sometimes they can be really brutal, like they have fun with their prey. other times they are very gentle
>>221706864how big are the chicks?
>>221706891bigger than the chick of a chicken. it's a couple handfuls. im just happy she let go of it lol
>>221706927that does seem pretty big. but it doesnt seem THAT much bigger than a big mouse
>>221706927crazy tho that theres just turkeys walking around in the US
>>221706941nah, the mice here are tiny. i've never seen a rat outside of the city. >>221706946i know, right? i love them, it's almost like an ostrich walking around.
>>221706988>nah, the mice here are tiny. i've never seen a rat outside of the city.oh wow>i know, right? i love them, it's almost like an ostrich walking around.true
cats are a plague to local wildlife. grew up with outdoor cats but i could never stomach it again after learning about their habits.
>>221706998poland has some cool wildlife too lol https://youtu.be/teHtWRPEPJc?si=3wDPnNL6xRRQkas-
>>221706728Are your cats deaf or do you mean like the "suburbs" just barely outside of a major city?
>>221707031my real flag is austria lol sorry for my proxy usagelet me think... i dont really have anything to say about the wildlife here. i think its jsut like anywhere else in europe. i was in croatia for a few days and it was exactly the same
>>221706787My parents yelled and acted genuinely hurt when my car brought a bird, the few times he did. Felt bad for the cat since it was such a really hard prize to catch for him and he just got bitched at for bringing it, guess they still had the euro mindset of animals I think are pretty have more valuable lives.>>221706827My cat caught a few red squirrels and one grey squirrel, I remember the gray squirrel had given him a little cut near his eye, wasn't much of a battle but it was one. He also fought the mean neighbor cats from the time he was a kitten and got a bite in his thigh that ended up getting infected before we noticed it, back when he was three months old, but luckily a friend of ours was a vert and knew to just squeeze the pus out and let it heal. As an adult he was bigger than them though so he owned the neighborhood territory and they learned to respect and keep away from him.
>>221706391>Hoist by thy own petard
>>221707116i don't know much about Austrian wildlife. I guess it's pretty alpine, right? do you have wild goats? check out this beast lol, the Rocky Mountain goat.
>>221707144guh
>my cat
>>221707139i dont like when they bring me birds. im starting to understand the difference between different types of birds better, and they usually bring me something common and even invasive, like a barn swallow. But I wouldn't be happy if I got a rare migratory bird like a goldfinch as a present
>>221706946Euros sometimes ask why we love turkey so much even though it's, I don't remember the complaints, something about being dry or the texture compared to chicken. The first answer is that it's really cheap to buy a whole one for Thanksgiving since they factory farm them to all be available at once and complete on price to get people to do their Thanksgiving and broader holiday shopping like Christmas gifts at that particular store. Walmart sometimes has turkeys that are the equivalent of $1/pound meat weight if you subtract the expected bones and giblets weight. If I had a chest freezer I'd buy ten the day after Christmas and cook them all year round.The second reason is that depending on where you live and your luck you can still go to a random field you know has turkeys in it sometimes during the hunting season which is right around Thanksgiving, blow one's head off with a choked shotgun, it instantly drops right there, and you get a Thanksgiving feast free.The third reason is the secondary crops of farmed turkeys being turned into smoked or baked lunchmeat, chicken wasn't as cheap or available as lunchmeat until more recently though it's the same price now.
>>221707141>thy own*thine own
>>221707144i live in like a flat area i guess. heres a pic that my dad took
>>221707195One of our cats did once bring a goldfinch and once a robin, and they hated itMight not have even caught them and just found them deadBut they didn't even like it when they brought a chickadee, which are my favorite bird and all but the place was lousy with them kek
>>221707236To thy own self be true.
>>221706347>catdoor settings
my lil jaggy pees all over the place. I think my lady would get rid of him if I weren't here to stop her. I just think of it like, who else could handle having this cat? I gotta do it.
>>221707293its like a knob with 4 different orientations that control the entry level. it has like chip verification but only from the outside
>>221707259thats nice. very pretty>>221707263yea i dont really get mad at a cat, it doesn't know any better. they love to hunt so if you dont want them to they should be kept inside honestly. like >>221707023 this guy was saying. It's generally a bad idea to leave them unsupervised
>>221707088I mean Americans are terrible drivers and are not to be trusted under any circumstance.
>>221707322>thats nice. very prettyits unfortunate that its gray most of the time>>221707215interesting
>>221707316maybe you need to get it fixed. is it a male cat? they tend to pee all over the place to mark their territory
>>221707322Tbh local wildlife needs to evolve or die, cats at housecat size may be invasive depending on the area but cats as a family made it to every continent without our help and earlier than us. Jaguars used to live in North America and their close cousins are still hunting and eating Cayman crocs down in the rainforests of South America, you can look it up, there is some species of Jaguar that adapted itself to eating fish and Caymans and turtles and swimming everywhere. They barely even eat terrestrial game. And they're barely even a species, that's how little they had to adapt from base jaguars. Cave lions probably threatened a lot of early humans in Europe with extinction. Sure the combo of cats that target small prey and habitat loss or modification from humans is brutal, but humans and cats themselves went through many similar selective bottlenecks to become what we respectively are. We are breeding the new super birds and hyperrats of tomorrow who will plague and rival our own progeny. Go, Fluffy, go! Feast on those casuals!
>>221707327Your consistently repeated self righteous cultural masochism aside, bad drivers cannot miracle spawn on empty roads, and most cats really are smart enough to not get run over in residential areas.
>>221707395he's male and he's fixed. he's like 8 years old and has bad kidney levels but they've stayed in the same place for the past 3-4 years. He always pees at the edge of the box but sometimes it goes over. we got a little tray to put in front of the box in case he misses.but sometimes if you leave something in the floor like any piece of clothing or a towel he will bunch it up and pee on it.we got him from a rescue charity and speculate they might have had him peeing on pee pads as a kitten before we had him
