Cats

This guy started hanging around my garage 3 years ago when he was a little kitten. First time I went to give him some lunch meat, he jumped, wrapped his paws around my arm and bit me. Even though he drew blood, I didn't flinch. I just looked at him and asked "What are you doing?". He looked up at me, slowly released his claws and teeth and backed away. He finally ate the lunch meat.
Now, 3 years later, he's been coming by almost every day and just lays in the driveway and watches me work out in the garage.
I can't pet him and he won't come in the garage, He's just too feral.
I always give him some treats and awhile back he brought me a dead robin.
I call him Mr. Kitty

Is that a Bengal Scott? My folks have one, looks just like it.
Yes, Zeus is a Bengal. Great cat, smart as hell, and always aware of everything. I will put a post it note on the wall and call hm into the room, he will notice the post it immediately.

I like dogs but I prefer cats because they are lower maintenance. There are people out there who have been socialized to hate cats under the attitude that there is something effete and un-manly about cats (since they can’t be used for hunting or other manly activities) and therefore something un-manly and effete about owning a cat.

Some people believe that cats are unaffectionate, not loyal, aloof, and that they have a secretive “untrustworthy” quality. This is especially given as a contrast to dogs, the problem is with the people having unreasonable expectations of an animal. To hate a cat usually means you did not grow up with one and have never had one as a pet. So what have your interactions with other cats been? You go over to someone’s house, see a cat, and it ignores you. On the other hand your interactions with dogs have been with dogs that run up to every stranger and act excited to see them and love to be petted (like the dog in the Pixar movie “Up” that says “I just met you, and I LOVE you!”). So, they come to the conclusion “dogs like people, cats don’t.” But is this a reasonable judgement? Do you, as a human, run up to every other person you meet, and say “oh my god, oh my god, I’m so glad to meet you” and give them a huge hug?

He crapped in that box everyday till I put it in a bag and handed it to him. I told him one more time and I was going to crap on his front porch
At least cats bury their poop. My neighbors dog craps on my lawn and I step in it.
Meanwhile, everyone else seems to always need to "go home and let the dogs out"
Dogs are very needy, that,s why I prefer cats. Cat’s are affectionate if raised right but also don’t depend on you to be around 24/7

Experts say that cats kill between 1 to 4 billion birds every year, causing one-third of the 800 U.S. native bird species to be endangered or in significant decline.
Cats kill wildlife: True, but if this really bothered you, then why don’t you hate dogs for doing the same (don’t hear dog lovers insisting every fox hound on Earth be killed, when their only reason for existing is to kill wildlife), or more importantly for killing people? Dogs have killed 376 people in the US alone over the last 10 years. This includes 178 children, 58 of which were less than a year old, with the youngest being 3 days old. The vast majority of the rest were pensioners (the very young and old are a dogs natural prey). Almost all were killed by their own “loyal” family pet, which they insisted was harmless, until it decided they were prey (that’s what your dog is actually doing when it stares at your baby, it’s not curious, it’s deciding if it is food or not). One child was decapitated, another had his arm torn off and another had her entire face bitten off. A lot of these people, mainly the younger babies, were eaten. This does not include the 4.5 million people who are attacked by dogs each year (in the US alone), but do not die from their wounds. In contrast, there have been zero people known to have been killed in a house cat attack, in the world, in the whole of recorded history. Yet cats get a bad rep?

Not to mention when you go over to your pals house and the big, sloppy, dopey dog jumps up an whacks you in the nards EVERY TIME. Have yet to suffer this from even the worst of cats.

My cats have got me in the jewels multiple times, some of them are like dopey dogs and they enthusiastically charge.
All animals can be annoying, but at least in my house they got along.

Yeah I used to always think when she would snap at one of them how if the cat wanted to it could probably kill her. Most of the time she was a sweet dog but every now and then she would get angry and go at one of the cats, and they barely moved because she was missing most of her teeth and would basically get the cat moist.
 
Our traveling kitty. She camped with us through most of America, including Alaska and several Canadian Provinces. Sadly she passed a couple years ago at 14 years old.

Not long after we lost our cat, this one shows up and my wife has been feeding it. He comes and goes back to his “other” home. Our back door was open for a while the other day and he found a comfortable place.

And, we have the wonder twins. Because I’m always wondering where they got the idea to do that! Sisters who do the goofiest things, and both love the garage. I’ve been a life long critter lover, my parents bred Himalayan cats when I was a kid, and we had 33 cats at one time. 5 moms and every one had a litter at the same time. It was pure kitty chaos. Down to 3 now, the twins, and one crabby cat who stays up in our room.

Whiskey, and Mya.
