I spotted my local feral just today, but I've also seen a few more in the past couple days. My dream of a desperate, lockdown-induced, starvation leading to a purge has yet to become reality, but I remain hopeful.

It’s funny to read this as i listen to yappy little dogs with their hoarse barking on what was once a very quiet block.

Small dogs are basically cats. I think we're all in agreement on this point?

To you...an avowed capitalist...I can offer a financial incentive.

If you can somehow domesticate that feral you can then later sell it on Craigslist for $200 to $300. That is how few cats are now available for acquisition. You'd not actually be selling it: You'd be "rehoming" it.

SIR! There are things so disgusting and immoral, I won't do them for ANY amount of money. Rehoming feral cats certainly qualifies.

I think of them as rats.

Wait! Some of us have rats as pets! And, I discovered that an extreme high percentage of rat owners are female, contrary to the stereotypes of females and rodents.

Somebody took our apartment complex cat to the humane society because she's skinny (she just doesnt eat much). They said, the humane society would have no trouble re-homing her. I called the shelter and they said come pick her up. Was $200, but they chipped her. I was under the impression taking an animal to a shelter was a death sentence. Was that exaggeration by my family?

Of course. Unfortunately, people abandon animals outside due to the belief that a shelter is a death sentence, but it’s just not true. Not only are there no-kill shelters, but regular shelters aren’t out there to kill.

You'd been depriving us of her for WAY too long!!! Way, way overdue for her to make another appearance here.

If I was quicker on the draw I'd have caught two of mine sitting on my weight bench at the same time I was in the midst of using it to do bench presses! They have the whole house to be anywhere and that is where each of them decided they needed to be!

Vinny, you don't have to remain single, you just have to get rid of your cats.

Some websites used today to make fun of single guys who don’t have a woman to spend Valentine’s Day with — we did not. Instead, we are giving them tips.

Your plans to pick up a woman may include getting a better job, a job, losing the Nike shoes, and selling the Xbox. Perhaps those will help, but it won’t change the game; getting rid of your cat, though, will.

The Wall Street Journal cited a recent study that says women find heterosexual men with cats to be less attractive. “Chicks don’t want a guy with a cat,” says Rachel DeAlto, chief dating expert for Match.com.

I thought my cat was keeping me from dating, and then I realized it was the good looking woman who lives with me who was keeping them at bay.

Seriously, though, maybe dog owners are more extroverted and that makes them more attractive.

Match.com is not anti-cat either. The same stats say the “like” rate for gay men is 5% higher.

As they say, the truth can hurt.

To make matters worse, another study says women find you cat guys “less masculine, more neurotic and, ultimately, less datable.” Ouch, throw in the flag now, cat guys.

Now, to the big question: what about dogs guys? As expected, men — both straight and gay — with dogs have a 20% higher “like” rate than normal guys. Meaning, if you don’t have much to offer, get a dog.

For the straight, lonely men with cats, it’s decision time: woman or cat? Based on these studies, you will have to choose. And this isn’t a short-term decision. Should you get attached to either, you may not get a do-over.

I advise all readers to never rush to a decision, this is no exception.

Short version of a longer story.

Summer of 1971....I get invited by the guitarist of a band to move in with him and the two vocalists in the band.

The landlord said we were to have no pets.

In an extremely short period of time we end up with nine cats and two dogs.

The guitarist tells us that he's embarrassed to bring his girl friend into our home because of it smell. We had no litter boxes as all the cats went outside on a regular basis. He ends up by giving us an ultimatum, "It's either the cats or me."

I have a short, cold response to him: "The cats are staying."

[dualstow]

I wonder why it smelled bad if the cats went outside. Cats don’t smell.
Was it the jars?

Going by 50 year old memory....they may have had some indoor accidents. Cannot fully explain 50 years later. No jars back then...

I'll add a little more to the story. That guitarist smelled way worse than the cats!

Each of the rest of the three of us would shower daily.

No showers for him! He'd go for a swim once a week and consider that getting clean.

He'd play his guitar during one of our shows, get his shirt dripping wet with sweat, and then hang up the shirt in the closet for it to be worn the next time. Therefore extremely ironic for him to be complaining about smells!

Just came across this picture I took a year ago April.

Evidently I was outside in front of the storm door so it has a reflection of me and the front lawn. The main purpose of the picture was to take a picture of my beloved, Mink, who was in the house and on the other side of that storm door.

Beautiful cat.

I agree. More pictures of her and the other two to come soon!

You know what I like about that picture? Your legs blend so that it looks like your own legs end in cat feet.

Indeed, the cat-man effect is really awesome! That should participate in NatGeo photo contests, and I am not exaggerating ..

When I first saw the picture I was totally bewildered by it. It looked like some form of double exposure. As I kept looking at it her left ear looked like someone's face who was sitting on a couch. I could not figure out at all what was going on with her leg and mine and which was which. Finally I realized all that was going on. Just one picture with a lot of reflection in it.
