I think this calls for a training exercise where you strap a new york strip to their backs, and well... unleash the hounds. What have you got against hounds?

i hate cat, cats are mostly loved by people with problem having relationship with other people and use cats as a substitute for their loneless, i find that pathetic.
not that dogs are any better, unlike many people think we are their pets. we give them shelter, food, water, and all they do is lick us with the same tongue they were licking their balls previously, we really are their #%&*$# Jeez, don't hold back there and sweep away with your statements there mate!

I like cats because they're independent. I like them because they're incredible hunters. I like them because if one of mine is outside when I go away for a few days or longer, I know that it'll feed & water itself and be happy & comfortable the whole time I'm gone. I like them because they have no problem telling you to go screw yourself if they're angry with you. i like them because they GET angry with people. I like them because they think three-dimensionally. I like them because they make me laugh. I like them because you know that you've EARNED it when a cat decides it likes you.

Actually dogs are more suitable pets for people like that because a dog will worship anyone, even if that person mistreats it.

Cats are worthless animals that serve no purpose in human lives...
They do so have purpose.
Why you just need a 3 foot piece rope, two cats and a clothes line.
Tie one end of the rope to one cat's tail and the other end of the rope to the other cats's tail. Pick them up and put one cat on one side of a clothes line and the other cat on the other side of the line, having the mid point of the rope resting on the clothes line.
Sit back and enjoy the show.
JUST KIDDING!!!
I have never done that, nor have I ever seen anyone do it. In fact, if I did ever see anyone do it, I would bust their skull open like watermelon and tell the law they must have fell trying to get away from the cats that were trying to scratch them.
I think cats are cool myself. There is a stray that took up here. I have been feeding it. The thing thinks it's a dog. It follows me around when I go to the mail box or to the neighbor's house, etc. It's funny really. I suppose I will take it to the vet and get it's shots and keep it. He's friendly enough, that's for sure and certainly seems to have taken to me.

2 of mine will go walking through the fields & woods with me. Sometimes they range ahead, other times they hang back to investigate something, but they're rarely more than 100 feet away.
Another cool thing is how well-camouflaged they are. A grey & black tiger cat can disappear in a sandy lot with a few tufts of grass and some scrub brush. An orange tiger is invisible in green vegetation. Even a calico or an all-white cat can make itself disappear in just about any terrain.

My girlfriend has the worst cat ever. It has every bad characteristic a cat can have, including some that are contradictory.
It is picky about what it eats, it pukes all the time, it will drag it's butt on the floor and leave trails (this is even after my g/f has spent a ton of money on vet bills and had it's anal sacs drained - how appealing does that sound?), it is clingy, needy, yet stand-offish (it will only let her touch it, and not even her sometimes, but it will whine and complain if it doesn't get enough attention). It actively hisses and bats at me, sometimes even drawing blood, and even does the same to her if it's in a bad mood.
At this point she feels like she made a commitment to take care of it, and would feel guilty if she got rid of it, so we're stuck with it for years, assuming some horrible "accident" doesn't happen to it...

Cats are odd animals and have distinct personalities. The one we had in Flagstaff, "Barney", was a vicious little beast. Attacked my son several times and would jump up on the washing machine and hiss at people as they tried to walk by. I don't miss him. We now have two cats, only animals in the house other than me. Rhianna is the little calico, nice cat but very mental. Two years ago I saundered into the kitchen in my skivvies and she launched into the room and sank her teeth into my calf. I about killed her. What the hell that was about, I have no idea. Tigger is my cat, I just love him to pieces. Big cat, must weight 20 pounds, and five of that is his tail. Long tail, with a curve at the top. He's more like a dog than a cat. Loves to be petted, hates to be picked up. He'll yowl when he's hungry, jump up on the bed and land on my stomach (OOOF!), and in general be a darn good friend. Here's a pic of the two of them in a rare moment when they could stand being around each other without batting:

(bet ya that title got some of you girls up in arms, lol... this is a venting/joking post BTW)...
The wife and Kids went to Germany for two weeks, I stayed home to work and care for the animals...
Sure it can be a pain in the butt to get up in the AM and take out three dogs, (Large, medium, and small size)... but at least the dogs serve a purpose to their human owners during the day... they comfort, they play, they protect...etc etc...
But cats, why in the hell do humans have cats anyway... I don't see them all day. the only time I see them is when I go to put food in their bowl once a day, they eat then disappear... then the next morning the house stinks like dead animals (cat poop), one might go in the litter box, which stinks, but then the other will poop all over the house...2 or 3 piles, one in each room, (besides mine i don't allow any animals in my bedroom)... So I spend the morning cleaning up smelly crap, then the cats disappear again till next feeding... worthless animals if ever there was one.
(can't wait for the wife to get back, when she's here I DO NOTHING in relation to those idiot cats. lol)
I've never had any of these issues with cats. My last cat was my best friend and followed me everywhere. I guess cats just don't like you for some reason.

A friend of mine when I was stationed in OK had a cat that killed rattlesnakes. It would tease the snake till it struck, dodge the strike, and then grab the snake by the head as it recoiled. Then it was just a matter of hanging on as the snake thrashed about til it was dead.

Cats are awesome animals. How can just one creature be such a perfect blend of evil and adorable ? Cats are among the most deceitful, cruel and calculating species in the world, but they are so freaking cute.
You do not own a cat the way you own a dog, cats own you, and a cat's affection is somehow more rewardin than a dog's. A dog loves you because his instinct tells him you are his master. A cat doesn't have a master, he has people who feed him that he may also grow fond of.

Magnum, There are several reasons why your cat went outside the litter box. If you kept the litter box clean then the cat is probably ill. Is the cat less active and often hide? And they also purr when they are hurting. The hairball can be solve by letting it go outside and chow on some grass. I can understand your frustration, and if you truly feel that way about cats then ask your wife to get rid of it. No use having a pet that irks you. Blade, I used to think posters with 3000+ posts have problem dating but that's not true is it?

And they also purr when they are hurting. Purr when they are hurting? Cats purr when they are content and not hurting. I read that when cats meow at you they are talking to you so listen and observe and you will learn what the different meows mean and when a cat drops a captured bird or mouse on your doorstep it is a thank you gift for taking car of it so don't get mad.
