Who says cats don't have a sense of humor? (Yes, this is firearms-related!)

Uggh! Cats! Even though we have one at home, I perfer my choc Lab that resides outside. Although my cat has never interfered with the cleaning, and maintinence of my guns, Charley the Lab likes the shooting, and enjoys a trip to the range.

Remember, cats & small dogs are a waste of fur, and better suited for restringing tennis rackets, and stocking Chinese restaraunts.:D
 
You are a very patient man. I have shot many a cat for doing far less then that.

They were feral cats, and were starving to death in January, but I have never really liked cats very much.
 
Why are there so many cat-haters on this board?

My cat, while always looking for trouble, hasn't done anything really bad. He even lets me clean my guns in peace. His favorite toys are those little plastic rings that come off of milk jugs... he'll play with those for hours...
 
harpethriver - loved your cat story.

I like cats but depending on the cat, I can be allergic to them (itch & sneeze & watery eyes). Give me the short hairs anyday.
 
Should I start worrying, I don't think there is any actual food in that bowl. Do you think their plotting to steal my guns or parts.

Cat + laser pointer = hours of fun and amusement! (Well, that is, until you point the laser at the wrong spot and the pursuing cat knocks over your beer which promptly spills all over your just-completed tax forms. Not that I'm dumb enough to do this or anything... :eek: )

They're just mad because the cats are smarter than they are. :D

I have 4 cats and a dog who are all buddies. I think that dog would kill anyone who tried to hurt one of "his" cats.

And since this should be gun related, here's Rasputin with "his" AK. Every time I get it out he has to come check it out. "Hey, replace that thumbhole stock with a paw-hole and get outta my way!"

When I was a young man, I used to really not like cats, and thought they would make good targets (although I never actually shot any).

In my older-middle age, I find cats amusing. They have an independent streak that mirrors my own, and the way I feel about my government.

I sort of admire that.

And besides, they are really funny to watch sometimes--trying to figure out what is going on between the ears.....
 
A dog is a loyal companion that looks to you for guidance and affection.

A cat tolerates you in its environment because it hasn't figured out how to work the can opener.

A dog is loyal beyond death, many a dog has stayed beside it's masters grave, grieving.

When you die, your cat will eat your face.

:uhoh:

Cats are uniquely hilarious independant creatures in a way that dogs just aren't.

I salute your cat's actions preacherman. After all, to the cats it probably looked like that bushing was a piece of HUMAN NIP, the way you fussed over it.

Back to gun-related issues... unless a cat was about to eat me, I don't think I'd want to shoot one.
 
Truly it is written:

"The Devil made the dog, who sees man only as an ideal."

"God made the cat to reflect the real man."

I can just now see the next cover of "Cat Fancy" magaizne when crossed with "Guns & Ammo!"
 
sounds like yer cats

went to the same school as my cat.
Cats do seem to like small gun parts to play with,I now make sure kitty is locked up before disassembly. Kitty loves spent shells. I had a friend who had taught his cat to play fetch,one of those tabby cats,while I am more of a dog person I like cats fine.
 
Who says cats can't be pro-gun? :D

Ok, it's not actually a firearm, and it was unloaded and uncharged, and it was 2 years ago, and it was more like "I'm going to lay on this thing that doesn't look like carpet." But still, it kept Malla occupied for a few minutes until she rolled over on her back and "lost" it.

As for the cats vs dog argument... well, I'd rather not befriend an animal that gleefully chomps down feces if presented with an opportunity. :eek: :uhoh: I've seen it happen a dozen or more times and couldn't be any less enthusiastic about having a dog. Not to mention I don't have to wash the oil off my hands every time I pet a cat. Dogs are great companions no doubt, but the faults are too numerous for me to consider getting a dog.
 
Rule #1 when herding cats- Close all doors!

#2 throw heavy blanket on them, wrap up tightly so to keep from getting clawed

I have two siamese cats. one's pro the other is anti-gun. one runs at the sight of a gun for no reason. the other likes to sniff and rub recently fired guns while purring.:D
 
Cats are the bestest!
I currently have two strays.
Good stories and photos, here's a cat story.

The cat and I had several games we would play
including hide and seek, chase me or chase him and so forth, and he had become rather fearless.
A number of years ago my brother-in-law was over to our place.
He was not a cat lover, he was the kind of guy who would
rattle the cage of a leopard to get some reaction.
Anyways, I had put the cat in the bedroom, where he occupied the bed.
There was a sliding glass door which seperated the deck from the bedroom.
From the deck my brother-in-law was antagonizing the cat with hand motions and whatever else he could do to try to get a rise out of the cat. Next thing you know the cat leapt fully armed with claws and teeth at the neck level of the B-I-L only to bounce off the glass door. The expression on the B-I-L's face was one of surprise and fear (mind you he is 6'3'').
All I can say is too bad the sliding glass door was closed.

cheers, ab
 
I gotta love these stories. I'm a bit of a cat person myself, but I see a nitch for a dog in the household.
 
Cat humor

When I was about 13 my uncle Bill showed up with a stray cat, Bootsie, a beautiful slate gray male.After about a month of mutual hostility the cat and our dog, Daisy became friends and then constant companions and they would play tricks on each other Once when Daisy was asleep under the coffee table, boots, very stealthily jumped on the shelf above the dog and reached around the shelf and swatted the dogs ear, she jumped up and hit her head and the chase was on.
On another ocassion my father said that one day, while the cat was drinking water from his bowl, Daisy casualy walked up behind him and stepped on his head and took off running, the cat sat there sneezing and shaking his head trying to get the water out of his ears.
I have no doubt that animals have a sense of humor.
 
true story...

one day...i just had to have a cat...went to all the pet adoptions...cat rescue places..city pound..did not find the cat i was looking for...looked for several months..then gave up....came home one day...and my neighbor had two kittins crawling on his kitchen floor..."hey wolf..ya wanna cat?"

and it was just the cat i was looking for...dum-dum is now 10yrs..(hey hey there are no "b's" in his name..im surprised how long it takes for some folks to get that..when they ask his name)..a maine coon/20lb/polydactile (extra front toes) male..

i guess the male bonding between wolf & cat works...he knows not to explore in my gun stuff..(at least when im home-he might turn the house into a shootin range when im at work)..

cats just want what we all want...to be able to live without doors..be able to "visit" many female friends when ever we like..

have fresh catnip ready when we return from our visits..fresh tuna...and and after dindin an ice cold catnip beverage...
