henry d Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have never, and it is a dodgy subject on it`s own, owned a cat, however any time I have been in a house that has cats, they never do the dog/human thing of sleeping and REM/dreaming movement, they just sleep. Or do they ? My premise is they are satan`s animals and humans/dogs are the chosen ones ! Discus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boromir Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I dont get why people have Cats my mum says they keep the rodents down true but look at the other wildlife. All they do is eat **** in other peoples gardens and sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullbore Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I find the correlation of how neurotic a woman is is directly proportionate to the amount of cats she owns. Devils critters is right, and ungrateful ones at that, wouldn' give em floor space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustyIrl Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I used to think they were greaat for keeping rodents down until i discovered a family of rats in an old car, and mice in the shed. A ferret is better, once the smell of one of them is around, watch them disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holliday Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 My sister is/was a mad cat woman (Baldrick please note - this is the correct terminology) and I tell ya, it's not something anyone should ever have to experience... EVER! She had 14 cats in her flat when she lived in Hastings. Totally, totally mad. And they all had names. Not being satisfied with just the normal names, she would cat-ify there names too. For example, she had one called Frankie which is fine. But she would refer to him as Mr Frankles She also knew which was which and who was mum to which. Not a pleasant experience. It took me years to come to terms with it, and a lot of counselling. It's ok now, I can talk about it without breaking down. On a slightly different subject, the other half wanted to see Cats the musical before it finished it's run last year. Reluctantly I agreed to take her. It was just what I thought The Lion King was going to be like - A bunch of bloody homo's jumping arond the stage in leotards (as it happens, I did enjoy the lion king as it was nothing like I thought it was going to be). But they are definately the devils spawn. Once they're in your system, you'll never get them out :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 As I have said in an earlier post, 'er indoors breeds and sells them, I don't care about the money I hate them and 'er indoors, who in their right mind would spend in excess of £200 for a cat?? Imagine the amount of ammo, bait or kit that could buy, what a waste, and yes cat women are totaly irational, nuerotic, nutters, this is why I try and spend all my spare time shooting or fishing, anything to get me out and away from her and the cats.

Daimler42 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Cats should be on the general licence with rats, ferals etc. Always crapping on my lawn and peeing on my conservatory roof (they like it up there when its sunny) - hate the things.

fullbore Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 cats= pointless, women = mad, cats+women= recipe for disaster avoid at all costs, even if it means jumping into a lake of toxic waste, believe me it's preferable.

Cranfield Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 We have always owned "outdoor" cats of no particular breed and they are a pleasure to have around. As we fortunately have lived our lives in rural semi isolation, the "upsetting the neighbours" issue has never arisen. All of our cats have been reasonable hunters and seem to prefer the furry prey (of which there is plenty), as opposed to the feathered kind. Their independant nature is one of their attractive qualities, but when they lay down in front of the fire with the hound, they definitely also have an "Aaaaaaah" factor. Each to their own. I don't understand the attraction of keeping fish, aviary birds, or reptiles as pets, but good luck to anyone that does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Only plus side I can think of my cat is the screams and squeals she produces from my brother when she attacks him in the middle of the night while walking to the toilet stark naked.

bobt Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 We have 2 old cats, last year one was on its last legs, so a "mate" told my wife she could have a kitten, we ended up with two, then the old one got better anyway I get no grief for having 4 dogs :( and they all get along fine until they all want to be in front of the fire.

duncan Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 a vet on tv once said "dogs look up to us , cats look down on us and pigs treat us as equals". Cats have their qualities i suppose but they only seem to **** in my garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 With reference to the original question, yes cats do show signs of REM etc. and twitch and sometimes chatter while sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
