Fuck you, i bet thats just some shitty website you made up. Cats cant make you sick because they cant carry human sicknesses.
>>2233291
how does it feel to have parasites feasting on your brain?
>>2233300
haha why r u so mad?
>>2233301
Why are you so stupid? Toxoplasmosis is a fucking meme. Ugh. I can't even deal with your rudeness.
>>2233301
and im not even mad so shut up
>>2233304
no i dont because i clean my cats after they get home. Fuck you.
>>2233305
>i clean my cats after they get home.
that only makes you more likely to catch it.
>>2233263
You are obviously right. One have to be really retarded to disagree on that.
>>2233263
I kill outdoor cats. You obviously don't give a fuck about your shitty animals.
>meanwhile, at OP's house
What do i do when a stray cat always shitting on my doorstep every single morning?
>>2233403
Kill it. You can catch it and snap its neck or just put cat food with antifreeze outside.
>>2233403
Save him, and give him a home to go to. Cats are precious, and we NEED them.
>>2233263
cats are domesticated animals with a semi-social disposition towards humans and CAN be kept indoors.
If you wanna keep your cat indoors, be prepared to spent a ,or of time with him and play with him. Else he'll get bored.
Also have a scratching pole, several places to hide/sleep, several water sources etc in your place. Maybe have a cat tree if you have a breed that likes to climb.
Don't be stupid and try to keep "wild" breeds like the norwegian forest cat or certain asian breeds on you 3 room apartment without balcony on the 7th floor. That's it.
>>2233430
all cats belong outside, as long as they come back to me.
>>2233430
>on you 3 room apartment without balcony on the 7th floor.
Is English not your primary language? A 7th floor window will suffice if there is action to watch. I take it you speak from experience because I have a wegie and its just fine being an inside cat with windows. I do take it outside on supervised breaks from time to time. No issues here, just need to play with it. They love being high up so shelves are definitely a must.
>>2233263
Agreed.
>>2233416
>we need an incredibly invasive species
What is the point of this thread?
>>2233263
>they get sad,
See, you just tanked all credibility right there. If you knew anything about cats, you'd know they don't get sad. You're projecting. Which proves you're just an over-emotional dork with no education on the topic you're yelling about. Like feminists screaming about the wage gap myth.
>>2233474
Then why do they cry and whine? Because they get sad.
>>2233656
>Then why do they cry and whine? Because they get sad.
That's like saying "Why do women cry and whine? Because they get sad."
Yet, that statement feels lacking to anyone that's met a woman. Same goes for cats.
Do you know that a cat's meow has been evolutionally perfected over the centuries to align harmonically the cry of a human baby? It's really fascinating stuff. Go ahead and google that. It's insane. But, it's true. A cat's meow triggers the same biological response in humans as a human baby.
Now, do you know why that is? Perhaps the same reason women do it? Hint: It's not because "they has a sad."
>>2233403
Give it food.
Earn its respect
I mix old engine fluids (brake, engine oil, transmission and diff oil) with milk (90:1) and I always leave a bowl outside for these little shit to drink.
>>2233430
technically not domesticated as a species
>>2233690
Mate with it. Vigorously. Yezyes
>>2233291
holy fuck do you have brain-aids, "cats dont transmit human diseases" you must really have some sort of cat induced neurodegenerative disorder.
>>2233436
English isn't my native language. I'm sorry if I make some mistakes grammar or syntax wise.
From what I hear about your cat, you just seem to take good care of it by taken it outside etc and having shelves and such. The thing, most people don't do actually provide all of that and then the problems start.
My experiences come from work, I'm a cat behaviorist and I work with cats with behavioral problems that can't be solved by a veterinarian (mostly problems cause by stress/territorial stuff/boredom/fear etc.)
I also do some volunteering at a cat shelter
>>2233695
Source pls.
>>2233656
Cats don't meow at other cats. They do as little kittens but most of them stop doing that when they grow up.
They only meow at humans.
Meowing and "whining" from cats is entirely your own fault.
You have learned your cat to meow to get attention/food.
All meowing is conditioned behavior.
>>2233694
>>2233460
>>2233412
>>2233388
get out.
>>2233905
You're just in denial that you are terribly neglecting your shit pet. Only irresponsible owners leave their animals outside unattended. Don't come whining to us when your shit pet gets run over or poisoned.
>>2233667
If that's true then cats are just fucking parasites.
>>2233941
>acting like it's news that cats are parasites
>>2233263
>cats BELONG outside
Why? Because you say so? Is your entire argument based on your opinions? If I give you sources to back up a claim that cats live healthier and happier lives indoors would you just dismiss it because it doesn't suit your narrative?
The only reason I ask these questions is because in the past logic and reasoning have been the last thing catfags are interested in, so trying to have an intelligent discussion was a waste of time.
>>2233956
Sorry, just a bait thread. You guys can stop replying now.
>>2233956
This person will adamantly claim that cats *want* to live 95% shorter lifespans.
Jesus fucking christ you idiots are easier to bait than /co/. Fucking apply yourselves for gods sake.
I am going to hunt down your cats and punt them
i have to put down my cat today, she spends all her time outside but recently she's too weak to defend herself and her territory.
>>2233970
should add she's 19 years old.
>>2233970
>forcing cat to defend itself instead of taking care of it
How could you event call it your pet if you don't take care of it? It was just a stray that you fed.
K-KISAMA!
>>2233976
>forcing cat to defend itself instead of taking care of it
she doesn't want to be inside, even in winter she wants to go out in the snow. if defending her means imprisoning her, no thanks.
>>2233985
>being such a shit owner that you can't keep your cat occupied, has to abandon it outdoors
Who's a safe cat? You are!
Now take a deep breath while I get the tape.
Fuck /an/, i literally admitted this was a bait thread. Stop replying and let the thread die.
>>2233985
Never have children
>>2233291
We literaly have toxoplasmosis posting on this fucking site kek.
Hey T! Fuck you!
>>2234429
We literally have retards posting in a bait fucking thread kek
Fr tho, you're actually retarded.
Captcha: Select all the vegetables
>>2233263
I'm sorry but you're wrong. While they CAN go outside modern cats are fat lazy and stupid. I hope your cat gets feline aids while running around like a retard because you couldn't bear to just keep your cat inside like it's been bred to for thousands of years
>>2234493
Select all the vegtables huh?
>>2234510
>i was only pretending to be retarded
>>2234006
It's undeniable that a cat which has gone outside is never going to be satisfied by playtime with a human in a normal sized house. My former feral will play with me for about 2 minutes and then fucks off. There's no engaging a cat that doesn't want to be engaged, and there's no occupying a cat that has experienced an open world with a toy attached to a string.
