Hate your girlfriends/wife's animal?

[Airplay355]

Anyone have a lady that is absolutely in love with the stupidest, most vile creature alive?

I certainly do. It's this morbidly obese cat who does nothing but eat and shed. He just walked out of his garage sized litter box covered in cat poo because he decided to toss it around a little after he was done. I hate it so much. She just thinks his fattness is cute, even though he's literally too fat to clean anything except his front paws. Don't feed him you say? Well then he howls until you do, day or night.

/rant

PS I let her wash the crap off of him.

My wife had three cats [notice the wording].

One scratched my brand new truck.

The other would crap in various places in the house.

The other would pee on my ultra trick and clean dirt bike in the garage.

I hated all of them... they are dead now and we have no cats.

The worst part was she had asthma when she was pregnant with our first kid and I had to feed them and clean their litter boxes.

I reallly really do not like cats.

You are not alone.

Just tell your girlfriend that if she does not get another kitty kat...you will.:wink:

I heard that.

Do you own a shotgun or a wood chipper.

[DarqueKnight]

Now...now...no need to resort to violence (yet). I think (hope) the "gentle ultimatum" will suffice as it puts the ball (no pun intended) in the girlfriend's court and also emphasizes how big of a problem this is for Airplay.

Hopefully, this cat is not the girlfriend's surrogate child, in which case she will most likely choose motherhood over male companionship if the gentle ultimatum is offered.

[packetjones]

Funny how all of the stories in here involve a cat. We have 2 cats that the wife loves. I can not stand them and I am looking forward to the day that they die. We will never own another cat.

Yea but you can always say the gun went off while you were cleaning it or that the cat just jumped in the wood chipper for some reason.:rolleyes:

[treitz3]

Honestly, I would talk to her about it and not us.

How she reacts may give an indication as to whether or not "she" is compatible. Truth. Peace. Out. Good luck and best wishes.

One thing to keep in mind? It is, after all a two way street. :wink:

[sucks2beme]

I've got two cats. The 1st one hates me.
The 2nd one likes me. Guess which one she likes?
You guessed it, the one that hates me.
BTW, she's the one that brought them both home, yet somehow
I'm to blame for cat #2.
Cat #2 is currently sitting next to my desk waiting for me to go crank up some tunes and hang out.

I hate cats.

[exalted512]

Unless we have several acres someday, we will never own a cat.

My neighbors are lucky their cats are still alive after I find cat prints on my truck.

My wife has a dog thats pretty annoying sometimes and as stubborn as any dog I've ever seen, but I dont hate her.

[janmike]

No dogs or cats - just fish.

[Airplay355]

I can't get rid of her and she'd never get rid of the cat so I'm just gonna have to deal with it. Plus of course it's a two way street and I only hate one of the cats. I just needed to complain. I've always liked cats because we had outdoor cats who came in to eat and sleep and then wanted to be back outside disemboweling some innocent rodent. This needy indoor cat crap is terrible.

Luckily he has FIV so hopefully he wont last long. No more cats after this for sure. Such a gross creature. After he's gone though she's probably going to want some stupid 8 lb dog. If a hawk could fly away with it, it's not a friggen dog.

[exalted512]

Thats what my wife has...a Bichon Frise. Don't ever get one.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Same here. A lone Cichlid that just loves to be quiet. :smile:

[Airplay355]

She wants a weiner dog. I hate them so much. They are always annoying. I told her I wanted a wolf dog hybrid or an adopted pitbull and if mine eats here then oh well.

[nadams]

I have two cats... and have had several rotate through the house with various girlfriends. The one, I've had since before I moved into the house, so she's been the constant bitchy companion. The other was a recent "weak moment" adoption when she needed a home (the cat, not a girlfriend).

I have come to determine that I, too, hate cats. It's all well and good until they decide they don't feel like pissing in a perfectly clean litterbox. But, I'm fully committed now... I can't just get rid of them because they're "not working".

The ex-girlfriends went away... and they didn't even piss on the carpets!

[tonyb]

Nice choices, either one would propose challenges that I hope your up for. The wolf hybrid will take intense training and still you may not be able to trust it. Too much "wild" in it. While some can be great pets, one never knows the amount of wolf in a hybrid. Usually trying to take something wild and trying to turn it domestic turns out in a disaster.
Pits I would still be leary in the adoption only because you may not get an accurate background of the animal. They tend to hide the bad stuff because who would adopt that animal if they knew.
I've known many pits, most as gentle as can be, still wouldn't trust them around kids. Either way, I encourage you to think it through.
Now that weiner dog....I'm with ya pal.:smile:
I see a Rott in your future,or a GS.

[Jesse22]

I am with the cat haters, I grew up with our animals always being outdoors, we lost plenty of cats to coyotes and what not. Circle of life... right?

I almost feel as though its a mistake to move in with the girlfriend in 3 months, she has 2 cats, 1 is a horrible piece of needy s@#t. Why do people think cats are self sufficient compared to dogs? cats can stink up apartments with 1 tiny little turd more so than I ever could with horrible explosive diarrhea. (I have never tested this theory) Her hell cat wakes you up to put more food in its bowl even if there still is some, because she has it used to a schedule and its fat, it doesn't need the food.

I will stop here...

[jbooker82]

I guess I dont understand why people who hate x animal move in or get in relationships with people who love animal x.

Do you really think that once the current one is gone that another one isnt ever going to show up.

I would think it would be much easier to fine some one who meets your criteria.

[jbooker82]

Why do people think cats are self sufficient compared to dogs?

Cause they are. We leave our two cats at home for a week at a time. Put plenty of food out and water out, a clean litter box and your good to go. We clean the litter box out every day.

What would happen if you left a dog inside for a week with no one home? It would be a distaster zone.

Our cats are always bringing birds to the font door. If they were left alone outside they would be able to HUNT their own food. A dog would resort to scavaging the neghborhood trash cans.

My wife is VERY allergic to cats. I feel for the rest of you.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

[Joe08867]

I have two cat, two Dachshunds, and fish Koi and Catfish.

Like having them all around.

[slk55amg]

I have two cats, since they were kittens. Took 15 minutes to train them to use the liitter box, 12 years later neither one of them has ever failed to use the liiter box. Theyare warm, clean, and friendly little guys....................

[Jesse22]

Nice example of how they aren't! You just said you clean the litter box everyday... how does that happen when you leave them home alone for a week at a time? My guess is you come home to a nice zesty aroma.

All sarcasm aside, I don't mean this is the criteria in every single case. But a lot of cats don't control their eating especially indoor cats in my experience. My girlfriend's cats would die the second they stepped outside.

I am sure that would make some people like cats.

[Airplay355]

My family has an adopted pit who has always been friendly and obedient (aside from killing small creatures outside). But you're right, both of those dogs are tough to deal with, especially the wolves. I do like german shepards a lot, never considered a rott though. My family also has an extremely large golden retriever at a thin and in shape 95 lbs. Not the biggest dog in the world but definitely one of the largest goldens around.

I just like dogs so much better. If my golden was annoying me, all I had to say was go in your spot and he'd go find a rug or blanket to lay down on. The cat sleeps where he wants, goes where he wants, does what he wants and there's no telling him otherwise. The only thing I was able to do was keep him off the couches. Litter boxes are disgusting and the fact that he digs around in it afterwards is even more disgusting.

It's strange though because the cats I had when I was a kid weren't half as bad as this. Maybe I just hate needy fat indoor cats. Our cats were all indoor/outdoor cats so the only thing they were needy about was opening the door to let them out. If they were outside and wanted to come in, they waited. None of this howling, scratching crap.

Ugh.

[madmax]

Cats are the coolest!

[jbooker82]

My guess is you come home to a nice zesty aroma.

Yep but it is gone when you clean it out. You never said what would happen if you left a dog home for a week by it self.

[cubdog]

Do I hate my wife's girlfriend? Wait, what's the question?

cubdog

[Airplay355]

Wife's girlfriend? Sounds like you're doing just fine cubdog. Carry on.

[wz2p7j]

Airplay, it depends on how much you like the gal. If she's a keeper it's probably on you to step up to this one. It's going to be a lot harder on her to give up her furry pal than it would be for you to just try and accept the animal.

And the "it's me or the cat" strategy some have suggested is a sure loser. Either A) you'll be politely shown the door or B) she gets rid of the cat but hates you for it forever and plots taking revenge on your member some night when you're passed out on the couch. :eek::eek:

My office manager's husband made her give up her 3 cats. I didn't know about it but I guess she cried about it secretly for weeks. Since then he's been shown the door and a couple new cats have taken his place at her house.

My wife/daughter have three cats and, most recently, a RABBIT :mad:

While my ideal scenario is zero cats, and rabbit for dinner, I find two of the cats tolerable -- sometime good company, sometimes annoying. The third cat is a PITA and I hope he vanishes in the near future (they spend lots of time outdoors). The rabbit is just a ridiculous excuse for a pet and it drove me crazy for two months (it was being kept indoors in a cage in our family room during the night, and had free run of the yard/neighborhood during the day). I don't even want to get into how gross it is to have a rabbit cage in your family room. I complained about it every few days, but the severe repercussions of complaining were as bad as the annoyance of the pet. My wife is Dutch, and Dutch women just don't take sh$t from the husband/boyfriend. Also, my daughter loves the rabbit, and was very good about cleaning up after it. Still, I felt as though I just couldn't take much more before a crisis was bound to occur, but then last week I discovered that I was probably allergic to the (timothy) hay that was kept in its cage (indoors). So now its outside in a sealed cage and I'm a happy camper. In fact, I was getting close to going to the doctor to get treated for what I thought was chronic sinusitis when the light bulb went off and I suspected an allergy to the rabbit or the hay. So, in the end, I was allergic to the rabbit and that caused me daily suffering for two months in addition to the baseline hatred of the pet.

End rant.

[Airplay355]

She's a keeper but damn the cat is annoying. By far the dirtiest cat I've ever encountered too. I figure that's a result of him being so morbidly obese that he can't wash himself. She's decided to try putting him on a diet, meaning he gets food in the morning and that's it.

I've given up, I just have to accept it. But I honestly can't wait until he's gone. Can cats get diabetes? I sure hope so.

Airplay, get the cat on some kind of diet cat food like "Science Diet." They can eat all they want and not gain weight. Secondly, get the cat some exercise. Buy one of those laser pointers. Cats will chase the light endlessly, get great exercise and will be totally entertained. It's usually pretty entertaining to the human operator of the laser as well. By the way, if YOU are said operator, you will be a hero to your gal as well. :wink::wink:

Chris

[Airplay355]

We tried the diet food. You're right, he will eat all he wants and consequently poop non-stop. Not normal cat poop, we're talking engine sludge diarrhea. I've gotten him toys and try playing with him but he only goes for so long and then it's back to sleeping. He has balls, stuffed mice, this little dead bird like thing on a stick I can get him to chase. 75% of his time is spent sleeping though. I think we might have to get him a leash.

Airplay, ever considered your little kitty is just sick? The poop could be related to the FIV or a plethora of other things, some serious, some not. Ya ever thought of getting the little guy to a vet? Maybe it's not his fault he's gross? :confused::confused:

Chris

[joeparaski]

I've got a weird cat. Weird in the sense that he won't eat anything except his dried cat food we put in his bowl. That's all he's ever eaten in 9 years. I mean...you can put a piece of chicken or fish in front of his nose and he will just sniff it and walk away.

He always does his business in the litter box or outdoors. But if you forget to change the litter and it gets too messy he'll crap on the floor to remind you.

Joe

[Airplay355]

He poops normally since I bought him organic cat food that doesn't have corn or soy in it. Most cheap cat foods have corn/soy as one of the main ingredients and I guess he's allergic to it or something. This new one has chicken as the main ingredient and he's much less stinky. Too bad it didn't help the annoying.

[Strong Bad]

I'm allergic to cats and dogs, especially cats! I have a friend who has 2 cats and a dog. I walk in her house and this animal stench hits me in the face, then 10 minutes later my eyes are itching.

No animals whatsoever for me! Besides, the only pussy that will enter the Strong Bad Estates is..well...ya know! :wink:

[TouchOfEvil]

We have three cats...i want them all gone.

[jbooker82]

An average cat should be fed 1/4 cup of food in the mouring and 1/4 cup in the evening. If you just leaving the food bowl out a cat will take a nap by the bowl then wake up and go back to eating only to get tired and take a nap again.

[maximillian]

I don't even want to get into how gross it is to have a rabbit cage in your family room.

My father raised rabbits when I was young. They were in a cage in the garage. I know how bad they can smell, even when cleaned often. I can't imagine a rabbit in the family room.

My wife really wanted a dog last summer and we bought a Boston terrier. I tolerated it. I knew it would work out that even though it was the wife's and kid's pet that I have to take it out to the bathroom. Note the "was"... even though this thing shed little, my wife got tired of sweeping the hardwood floors twice a day. We got rid of it shortly thereafter. My wife now realizes that we simply are not pet people. Too bad it cost $400 for that lesson.

I guess my cat is an exception. There is always food in his bowl and he doesn't scoff it all down on sight. He nibbles at it here and there throughout the day. He is healthy, not fat, and won't eat anything but his dried cat food. Like I said...very strange indeed!

Joe

[concealer404]

I love cats... not REAL fond of "her" cat, but i don't think she's real fond of "her" cat at this point, either.

My cat is AWESOME. He's clean, huge, and as chill as can be. 30lb orange tabby FTW!

[mrbigbluelight]

Never had a problem with any cats camping out by the food bowl. Put enough dried food in there to feed a herd of Clydesdales for a couple of weeks, too. They'd come in, take some nibbles, and wander off. Guess they figured there was enough in there that they didn't have to gorge themselves.

Had a rabbit named "Toro" once (the lone survivor of a lawnmower incident in my back yard).
Toro and Bugsy (cat) would have staring contests in the upstairs family room. After a couple of minutes, Toro would hop downstairs, chased by Bugsy.
We'd wait a couple of minutes (guess they'd continue the staring contest down there) and here'd come Bugsy, chased by Toro.
Another staring contest, then off to the races again.

Not sure who was stupider: Toro, Bugsy ..... or us, for sitting there watching these two idiots. Was pretty entertaining, though.

Finally gave Toro to one of my son's friends. Toro had a nasty habit of gnawing on power cords. :frown:
