Really interisting posting, kasper.

But I don´t want a dog or cat to be my friend. It is my pet. Humans are my friends. Animals can never replace humans. And in that way, dogs are not better than cats. Of cause they can learn tricks and stuff, but cats are cats... my cat DO cuddle with me when I want it... not just when she wants to... okay, she wants to every time I come close to her. ^-^

You should come to my college, what amazes me is how many humans here copy and act like Gorillas! 
I forgot about this thread really and didnt make a full comment on it, thanks for bringing it back up again.

I'm not a horse fan, guess I've seen too many or something, but monkeys and Gorillas etc are just awesome. I admit I love watching Monkey World on National Geographic, I wanna go there one day

In response to Kasper, I taught my cat a trick! Kinda... Everytime he walks through my living room, somebody (be it me, or one of my brothers) grabs hims and cuddles him whether he likes it or not. So now if he ever walks through the living room, he sprints like its a dash for his life, trying to avoid being picked up!  Teaching him basic survival skills XD


And ofcourse, welcome aboard SummerJazz

Poor cats...


Anyway, I finally have a pet! A cat. She (yes, it's a she.) looks like a little football. All she does is eat and sleep, eat and sleep. But she is soooo cute ^-^

EDIT: My cat is a he after all! At least that's what my grandma said.

I'll post some as soon as I take them ^-^

Well, after four and more months of waiting, i guess is finally safe to say my kitty has abandoned our home... we took him off the street when he could barely walk, he was quite beaten up ad had the top of the head and ears burned. He lived with us for 8 years and as time went along he started to become less and less homely, to the point where he would come by just once every two or three days for food and some cuddles. It's not the first time he was missing for weeks, but never this long. He was a weird cat... even after 7 years of living together, moving too fast near him would have had him all scared and inflated and backed up in the nearest corner, despite i always tried my best to be affectionate to him and cuddle him.

So he's missing by a whole lot now and i gave up my hopes of seeing him again, although at evenings i still keep my ears up for that familiar meowing (he had the cutest "meow" i have ever heard, it always sounded like a meow from a little kitten despite he was 8 years old and he was really big) at the kitchen window. I'm just happy to know that i have left him to choose the life he wanted. And maybe someday i'll see a little Pilu (or more ) scampering around the gardens of my town.

I took this pic two years ago, it demonstrates how much he wanted to live outside you can see the impatience in his eyes for me to open that window.

That's tough... to live with a cat for eight years and to have it run away... that's about how long I've had Sam, it'd kill me if he somehow ran off... and strange, that picture reminds me of him when he's begging to be let out.

Well, as long as you have good memories of him. I'm sure he's being taken care of somewhere else.

*squeeee!*
Your cat is adorable!!...*is soo jealous*

I would have a cat but two things stop me,
1)My brothers allergic
2) got a dog now who would happily kill one

Ah well, nice to see other's pets

Oh and really sorry to hear about your cat Marco Shame, but long as the cat's happy with it's own path...

;( Kind of a sad story... although I'm sure since the disappearance was gradual he's just found another life somewhere. Would've been kind worrying if he'd just disappeared all out of a sudden...
I had a cat that stopped coming home, no one really understood why, she seemed quite settled. Later we found her with another male cat and a pack of lil' kittens... turns out she'd got a family. (= Perhaps the case is similar with your cat!

They get these things when they're small and cute, then they flush them down the toilet... *cough* eh, wha..
That's a little cutie indeed. ^-^ Congratulations on getting your pet, do you keep it at your grandma's place or did your parents let you keep it at home? Looks young, how old is she? =)
