What do you do if you cat is always clawing at you for food? He's generally a very affectionate cat, and he's great to be with. But when he wants food, he'll claw ruthlessly, if you're asleep, working, wherever. I get the feeling that if you feed him immediately, he'll learn that clawing = food (classical conditioning).

What I've been doing is to just feed him before he even claws, or some weird workaround.

Speaking of which, my cat is so damn cute. And yes, that too is a fact

One of the main reasons it's always a good idea to make sure there's some food in their bowl at all times


well think I was lucky cause when mine was hungry she would just come to me meowing and looking at me lol

In my experience its a good idea for cats too always have food, but like.. dry food ? those pellets, i don´t know the correct english word for it right now .
A good friend of mine had two cats, and if he gave them to much fresh food/meat, they would go crazy and eat EVERYTHING at once, because... hell, it could be stolen or something like that
If it was too much it mostly ended in a cat vomiting in his room (important note : IF they had to throw up, they wanted to have it at least warm and cuddly while doing so, so instead of throwing up in the kitchen they at least tried to get to the living room. Fuzzy carpet makes it soooo much more enjoyable )

Nevertheless : Cats most awesome (and cutest) animal ever, I love them.

Yeah dry cat food. I've read some studies ages ago and it was never proven that the moist 'luxury' cat-foods were actually any better for your cats from a health standpoint. And as you say, dry cat food doesn't spoil so you can leave it out, and the cats also know that it isn't going to spoil so they can take their time eating it when they want instead of forcing it all down right away.

I really want to get a cat, but I've heard that there are cats that like being in the outdoors more than the others, is this true? I live in an apartment and I wouldn't like to do the mistake of buying a cat that hunts or pretty much stays outside the whole time.

If that's the case, what are some of the cutest types of "indoor" cats around?

thanks in advance!^^

I'd recommend a short-hair first and foremost to lessen the amount of hair that will get all over everything =p

But aside from that I think pure-bred pets are way over-priced. When I wanted to get new kittens I just asked around, checked out local animal shelters, and adopted kittens for free from whoever wanted to send one to a good home.

the most important things i discovered are:

- cats need tons and tons and tons of love. The more time you can spend with them the better. all allways tell you in some way if they like to spend time with you or not.

- cats are individuals. every cat has a different character. some are impulsive, some are curious etc. it is healthy for your relationship with your cat(s) to find out as much as possible about them.

- cats communicate: most of the communication is visually. the miau miau is a way to get attention but often not much more than that. there are plenty of documented signs that cats give us in general but as I stated above: every cat has a different way to express themselves.

- cats love company. If you have the chance to get two cats from the same brood or just two that get along then do it. especially if you have the manpower to give enough love to both of them.

Just took a nap with my cat for a good ~5 hours, despite having only woke up a few hours prior. Sometimes I feel she is the only reason I'm not completely alone in life. herp derp

edit: also she's like 15 years old or something crazy

Never stare a cat in the eyes. Cats view extended eye contact as a sign of aggression. They will either look away or blink slowly to indicate peace; you should reciprocate.

- cats communicate: most of the communication is visually. the miau miau is a way to get attention but often not much more than that. there are plenty of documented signs that cats give us in general but as I stated above: every cat has a different way to express themselves.

Actually, adult cats rarely meow in the wild. This is a learned behaviour from being around us humans!

I absolutely adore cats. They also seem to like me, so, huzzah.

A useful alternative to a spray bottle are those little canned-air things. I was staying with some friends recently who had two cats, and one night they were both just fighting like incessantly. Just picking up the can would get both of their attentions immediately. A quick spray in the air, (the noise), would break them apart and they'd quickly go their own ways.

...and then start fighting again 30 minutes later, but w/e, that's animals for you, lol.
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

Cats are Awesome!
I wish I had a real cat... My plushie cat is getting old. He comes to life at night, I swear!

Anyways as a follow-up, it'd also be nice to drop a few hints about actually getting a cat in the first place. I can't wait till I move out to my own place and get my own cat.
