Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back! 🙂
Seriously, had a 15 pound mentally retarded cat growing up. We had so much fun laughing at her until she flipped out and attacked us. 45 years later, still have scars on my wrist from her back claws along with scars on the top of my hand from her teeth.

@MJA, You’re mistaken! Cats DO like things…on the floor.

Cats are evil!

Cats are d@cks.

What would we do without cats? My yellow male tabby cat Finn who weighs maybe 8 or 9 pounds is the house clown and knows where the laser pointer is kept and goes ape shit every time we bring it out. He also can give his dog buddy Indie my female golden retriever who probably weighs about 80 pounds or so the why and what for when they play together, the cat almost always wins unless Indie can pin him down. It’s a good thing they sort of tolerate each other but my goldie is about 10 years old and when Indie is gone in a few years the cat will miss him until we get a new puppy for him and us to train and then he’ll hate our guts for giving him a new playmate.

I know never give cats milk. I grew up working on dairy farms, I give two feral cats whole milk once or twice a day on my porch. They won’t touch 2%. If there are any bubbles from pouring it, the one cat goes nuts thinking its attacking her. The other – no problem. Not much going on upstairs. But I never have mice, moles or small critters.

We found out one Easter after balling up chocolate candy foil wrappers and leaving the foil ball on the counter the cat would grab it and bring it to us. We started throwing it and the cat would play fetch with it. She would do it for hours on end; played fetch better than any dog I’ve ever had. Then we got a dog and the cat ran away.

Don’t know why but cats have always like me. Other people have noticed it and a few hated me for it (cats didn’t like them). I now have a fat one-eyed orange tabby, Jack. He doesn’t knock stuff off because it’d take too much effort and he just can’t be bothered.

The latter video parts showing cats pushing over things off the table just to examine the result, appears as a sort of an experimental scientific investigation, inherent within.
After many years of having pets, am almost convinced that they likely have souls. Although I have been born with canine teeth to eat red meat, other animals were apparently meant to be a part of us to survive.
The incredible beauty of animal and plant life shows an Intelligence way beyond what humans can scientifically express or fully comprehend other than it was an accident. It, however, may be super Intelligent, but it is not very sympathetic.
I can no longer permit myself any more pets. I outlive them because of their shorter lives. And, their passing is extremely hurtful anymore, and reminds me of the people I will no longer see in our unbelievable life on Earth, that is not fully understood.

You Folks are insensitive Bastages…. 🙁

And that’s why the earth can’t possibly be flat, because cats would have pushed everything off it by now.

What would we do without cats?
Apparently 59 years of stuff.

Other people without cats get scorpions in their house.
We don’t, nor do we get much of anything else-they go after the fliers too.

Cats are proof the world is not flat.

The video was funny, but it doesn’t change my opinion of cats. They’re too weird (in a funny way, I suppose), and unpredictable and unmanageable.

cats. never a fan. I’ve got an australian terrier thats a better mouser than any cat i’ve seen.

They’re weird. But fun weird. My friend has a goofy one that likes to snuggle with me. The other 2 think I’m in their way. lol.

My Ivan used to tip over a glass of water if I left it unattended on the end or coffee table. Just because, I guess.
That’s when I started to use containers with lids. He never bothered to tip those over.

Got a calico that kayaks with me. Started her when she was about 6 months old. Used to whitewater race, and took her with me for several years. Go down river with the skirt off, come to a sporty rapid and attach the skirt, hit the bottom and release it. The first year I raced, they said, “we have a dog category” (a fair amount of people canoe with their dogs)”we’ll put her in the dog category but note that she’s a cat”. Race results said “K-1/Cat”(Kayak,1 person w/cat). Next year the same. Year three They Changed the category from “cat/dog” to “fur” Thinking I need an Iguana. Maybe go from “fur” to “Scales”

Gravity. A cats best friend.
Also a laser pointer.
And string.
And a bag.
And a box.
They are very strange creatures.

Cats, I definitely have mixed emotions. They drive me nuts, but most of the ladies in my life have always liked cats. My wife, my mom, my DIL(not married yet), heck, even ladies that I haven’t met yet but I know to to nice people, like Claudia for instance, all like cats. So I tolerate them, it makes my life easier. Now Golden Retrievers on the other hand……..

Thanks @MJA that was fuuuny. I think all this being home will produce a TON of critter vids. Oh and pics, I have been taking pics of my critters DAILY now. @Claudia is going to be OVERRUN with pics sent to her!
And I took a nice vid of our outdoor ‘Little Girl’ today:
If that was the remake of Total Recall, I don’t blame that cat for refusing to let the dvd be loaded.

I can’t quite imagine what it would be like living in a house without at least one cat. I like them, and they like me. It is rare that when first visiting a cat household I don’t immediately make friends with the cat(s) (as well as the people). Even those cats who are notorious for “not liking strangers” end up next to me enjoying a knuckly head and jowl rub.
Sure, cats are somewhat unpredictable and aloof. But then again, so am I, so we’re even.

Who did that fantastic rendering of the cat looking into the vid? That thumbnail above? Is that an IOTW artist contribution???
Done in the green tones. Very very good.
Fave part was the printer…

Al, that’s funny because I always thought that cats sensed that I was a bit standoffish to them so they always ended up in my lap as a way of tormenting me. Then everyone makes comments about how I really like cats after all. Damn cats.

Stupid cats – knocking things off of tables just to see them fall.
Says me, who spent about 20 minutes a couple of days ago watching some knuckleheads drop various household objects from a tower onto a trampoline.
What adorable creatures! Not.

The cat that attacked its owner?
Dead meat – or – suddenly homeless. Depending.
Well this cat broke its butthole!

We call these “experiments in gravity and inertia”.
I can tell my cat, KC, doesn’t like the vacuum cleaner. He gets nervous seeing it, a bit more if you move it. Gone in a flash if it’s turned on.
I’ve not tried the cucumber trick on him to see if he freaks out as many cats seem to do.

Cats need things because they’re control freaks and inanimate objects must be put in their place.
They are all so adorable, until they show their true nature and sink their fangs into your scrotum. This never gets old:
