House Cat. Yah or Nah??? - Page 2

I have 2 cats (well the wife does) and i think cats make rubbish pets. If i'd wanted a pet that ruins furniture and you only see it when it wants to eat then i'd adopt a teenager.

With regard the fire escape idea, i saw on the "my cat from hell" tv show they had an outside balcony for the cat made from what look like plastic pvc pipe and netting. Looked similar to a cat version of the kids soft play centres. Might be worth looking into something like that.

Just caught up with this thread. They are 2 wee crackers there! I showed SWMBO and now shes pining for a kitten, however our cat Smudge would not be impressed!

Enjoy them Jay, they look right at home there.

I have to laugh, 'occupied'.

They most certainly do, like when mine decide to have a funny 20 minutes chasing each other up and down the stairs at 3 in the morning.
Or think it's great fun to leap out of the bedroom window onto you in the middle of the night.

But for the most part I wouldn't be without either of them.

You do miss them terribly when they are gone but what joy they bring us whilst they are here.
It would be a much sadder life without cats and dogs to enrich our lives, well I think so anyway

She's 5 years old and a wildcat at heart, hardly in during the summer!

Yeah Mick they have. Toca (the male) does all the talking and Tilly (the the female) doesn't utter a peep. Funny, I thought it was usually the other way round for couples
