Cat News?
- Thread starter VMAT4
- Start date
It’s a sign the little beasty is looking for something. It wants its own “speaker” to play with.Has anyone got their heart (wallet?) broken, when a cat used the speaker grills as a perfectly well placed scratching pole?
Ugggh!We are 100% committed as indoor-ONLY cat owners and have acquiesced to snipping Spooks' front claws.
Our alternative was to have no cat at all!
I prefer to think of cats as Chaotic Neutral. Some may be True Neutral which, quite frankly, may be worse.

Some cats have an affinity with mountain mist

He's checking to see if 'What Hifi?' like the speakers before the shredding commences.
One of the advantages of the JBLs is that I doubt Calvin could hurt them if he tried.

Cats vs humans; cats always win.“I’ll take ‘tempting fate’ for $500, Alex.”

That's life with a cat though, isn't it?
He did launch a 705P off my desk once... couldn't find a mark on it. I have the 708s 'anchored' with some double sided sticky stuff. They make such excellent perches.
I've heard that as "Dogs have owners.... cats have staff!"
I am not a cat "lover" but my mate doesn't want to hear of it...
Our Spooks story requires some explanation to exonerate myself as a practitioner of animal-cruelty:Has anyone got their heart (wallet?) broken, when a cat used the speaker grills as a perfectly well placed scratching pole?
Ugggh!

This scrawny kitten had 2 choices: (1)No front claws... happy indoor life? or (2)The feline gas-chamber... w/claws intact?
From day one of adoption, Spooks has always been tutored and encouraged to never lose his wild ancestry. [<< I am NOT kidding!]
Notice that I am not referring to our Spooks as a 'cat' because I have continually trained him to fight ferociously. [<< I am NOT kidding!]
Almost every single morning (at age 12), Spooks comes over and head-butts me to start fighting like a dog. [<< I am NOT kidding!]
Neighbors come over just to watch our skirmishes, which take good 5 minutes. I usually win but NOT w/o cuts and blood. [<< I am NOT kidding!]
You probably would not believe it until you see it but Spooks will stand on his hind legs and start slapping (punching?) my right-hand trying to touch him. [<< I am NOT kidding!]
You can literally hear his slaps and once riled up enough; he will start attacking me w/hind leg' claws and teeth, I can raise my arm enough to have him hanging from it, while trying to bite. [<< I am NOT kidding!]
Spooks has 3 rules when the game is on: (1) I cannot move from my kneeling spot, (2) I can only use my right hand, and (3) I am not allowed to blow on to his face or the game is over. [<< I am NOT kidding!]

cats are pure joy ..they mirror the love / lack of love they receive..I prefer to think of cats as Chaotic Neutral. Some may be True Neutral which, quite frankly, may be worse.
I agree completely.
However, they are neither Good nor Evil by nature and they have no moral code of Lawfulness to abide by.

Not entirely. I have three. They have one food bowl. They sit and wait for each other to finish.
Agreed... Their moral code is neutrality, pretty much your point..their actions are dictated by " whatever works"... That's the concept of " mirroring "...treat em with love and stability and they pretty much reciprocate...I agree completely.

You haven't been around any chill cats...
