I read 'em all. My opinion still stands.

Cats are my favorite pet of all. I can't imagine life without at least one cat ever, and I've had a cat in my life since I was a little humanoid. "Everything tastes better with cat hair in it!" or "Life with a cat is acknowledging every horizontal surface in your house has been kissed by its little butthole!" Sounds like you're getting a tuxedo (tuxie) or a "cow" cat. So..., what do you need to know?

They sleep a lot. A lot! Once they become adult cats, their energy levels go down. Expect Kittie will sleep at least 16 to 20 hours a day. They then take another hour total but in parts cleaning themselves. That's one of the niceties of cat ownership, it is very rare ever to need to bathe a cat. One simple pleasure of a cat is when they hunker down in your lap or chest when you sit on the couch or lay in bed. You know they trust you when they take some time to wash their faces or paws. They have maybe an hour or less when they have "zoomies", running around house like crazed demons. You can put a puffball on the line of a fishing rod and it's a toy that will bond you and your cat together. A simple box can make Kittie disappear for a day.

If you're not going to allow Kittie to be outside, and of course that's a very good idea, you'll have to have a litter box. And clean it once or twice a day and keep it topped with fresh litter. Change out the litter once a month and clean the box thoroughly. A nice electronic litter box that self cleans is a nice but expensive idea. Otherwise, get used to collecting plastic grocery bags for litter disposal. Sadly, no matter how hard you try to keep the stink down, you'll get used to cat smells but visitors won't be. Fuck 'em if they don't like it.

The only thing cats are good for is throwing on the BBQ.

This will make sure that you have a cat that is engaging and not always hiding. I have taught three cats to play fetch and it is hilarious and sometimes annoying.

Here are my cats names: Bearkitty, River, Velveeta Jones, and Butters. BK, VJ, and Butters all play fetch and they all understand multiple words! Also cats (well most pets) respond to two syllable words or names very well. Also they're going to scratch, they're going to scratch you they're going to scratch your furniture they're going to scratch curtains. If you get a cat declawed you're literally satan. So get them a lot of Scratchy toys, get a spray bottle to spray at them when you don't want them scratching shit you don't want them to scratch.

If you have houseplants that you want them to stay out of because they will dig in them sometimes get some plastic forks and stick them upside down in the plant they won't fuck with that plant anymore. If you want to keep them off the counters and they keep getting on the counters put aluminum foil on the counter it'll scare them the first few times and possibly they won't get back up there ever again. They will drink out of the toilets, drink out of fish tanks, they love found, moving water. I have three water bowls and one water fountain.

If you have an orange cat the things to watch out for are tooth decay. Orange cats have a higher rate of tooth issues so you got to make sure their water bowls are clean all the time. If you get a male cat get that fucker neutered soon or else he will spray your house. Also contact me to talk about any other cat related matters - felines, not vaginas.
