We don't have any cats, but I do like them. We had a stray we took in many years ago. Named him Brindle. He was such a great cat. Never scratched, even when bathed. Was the epitome of patience.

Love the persian! I hope to get a cat (maybe an exotic shorhair) within the next year.

This is my cat Lulu. He is an asshole, but I still love him. He is a whopping 15lbs and is a Mainecoon cat.

Maine coons are awesome. I have a grey tabby and her name is shitty. When she walks around meowing at me I tell her "no one likes a lippy pussy!"
She's pretty much a bitch to everyone except my wife and I but even then she gets testy with us sometimes thank god she has no front claws or I wouldn't be typing this right now I'd be in a pool of my own blood...

For those of us, like me, who are clueless about cats, but like them, how do you pick a good cat? And how do you set up the litter box thing so that your house does not smell like cat pee? I am not wanting to be snide here, I am really thinking about getting a cat, but I am clueless about the breeds and I have smelled some pretty funky cat smells in a few people's houses. I don't mind the smell of Latakia, but I do mind the smell of cat pee...

I have one cat but the litter box is in my laundry room and I use the litter for multiple cats and small spaces and it works well. Just have to keep up on scooping it. And stick with one female cat and you shouldn't have any issues. I added another cat a few years ago and I no longer have an ottoman, love seat, and tempurpedic mattress because of it...she lives in SoCal now.

Joe Hearn,
the reality is that cats, and dogs, are going to mess up and break things in your house.Cats always, and the larger the dog, the bigger the potential messes. Proper training (which is far beyond the scope of this posting) of dogs, and patience and catproofing houses, will minimize, but not eliminate.
Cats, dogs, and kids are hard on houses and wives, but worth every minute of it.

how do you pick a good cat?
They tend to pick you. They just sort of show up and say, "Hi. I'm your cat. Feed me. Also, your bed belongs to me now, unless I decide your chest is more comfortable. If I poop in your shoe it means you were bad."

how do you pick a good cat?
I'm going to go out on a limb and recommend that you stay away from orange tabbys. Can't say that I right about this, but I've never met one that didn't have a nasty streak.
And unlike dog breeds, where each breed maintains certain characteristics, cats don't seem to be predictable so I would recommend an older cat from a shelter so you can gauge its temperament.

Here is Smokey whom my wife named after Tony Stewart (a.k.a. "Smoke", her favorite NASCAR driver). Coincidentally, an appropriate name for a cat owned by a pipe smoker!! We thought the name fit because when he was a kitten, he would run across the room and look like a puff of smoke. Amy found him in the women's restroom at the library where she works. Some kids brought him in out of the rain hoping someone would take this little guy home. He was about 6 weeks old and sick. My first cat that I ever owned after I left home passed away so my wife decided to bring this guy home. He is an awesome cat that is well behaved and instantly took to a little box. Smokey is sitting on my lap now (his usual place when I am on the computer or playing on the radios).

I'd leap to the defense of orange tabbies, but in all honesty, I've just finished a course of antibiotics for a painful bite on my thumb... Our youngest guy (an orange tabby) does NOT like to be put in the box, and we didn't have a proper grip on him last time we took him to the vet.
Our other two are sweeties, however.
And when I say other two, I mean our other two orange tabbies - we've got 7 total. 3 orange tabbies, 2 brown tabbies, a smoke tortoiseshell, and a calico. Been meaning to update their portraits, so I'll post them later.
For those of us, like me, who are clueless about cats, but like them, how do you pick a good cat?
There's not quite as much breed-specific personality among cats as there is among dogs, so it really comes down to the specific cat (though there are some general truths - Persians tend to be less active, Abyssinians just the oppposite, and we're finding that calicos tend to be a little wild, but in a good way...). If you're adopting a shelter cat, take the time to handle it and see how it reacts, especially if you've got your heart set on particular behaviors (like lap cats - some of ours are cuddly, others way more aloof).
And how do you set up the litter box thing so that your house does not smell like cat pee?
Rule of thumb is a box for the first two cats, then n-1 (where n is the number of cats total) from there. You also need to develop good litter box cleaning habits - like, daily. Using a good quality litter helps with the smell, as well, and if you've got a remote (but accessible) location such as a basement, laundry room, or secondary bathroom, start with the first box there. We've had really good luck with the wheat-based clumping litter, but it's fairly dusty (not quite as bad as clay litter). There's a new walnut-based clumping litter that's performing well in our most-used box - we're about to switch out another one next weekend.

I looked through this whole thread hoping for a dirty picture.... I was let down. I underestimated your combined sensibilities and wholesome good natured-ness. My apologies kind Sirs.

No pictures but I once owned an orange tabby named Kitty Rodriguez. She ate scorpions in my San Antonio abode. She had the nature of a dog, and I have despised all cats but her. Unfortunately, I had to give her away to a "fine" young lady when I departed the country for an adventure. I hope she still protects the unsuspecting toes of her owner by feasting on the little hiding in boot monsters as she once did for me.
Kitty R. was my companion and I would gladly have her back if it weren't for her unwillingness to discontinue the attack of my moving feet under the covers during the midnight hour. Nevertheless she was a stalwart of justice in the desert. I applaud her achievements and wish her well.

Elizabeth Regina - the sweetest-natured cat I ever knew.
Jack Dempsey - he's a dude.
St. John - now four months old, named for Thomas St. John Pattle.
These are our current babies, but we've had some good ones over the years. What a great thread, some great cats on show!

Demitri...the wild child. But a very good cat.
Bailey...most loving cat I've ever known(he'll can still hurt you if you test him.)He is my loyal(18 lb.) buddy, but he loves his Momma(the wife).
I like dogs, but cats are more like me. Social, but independent.

Thanks, everyone, for the good advice about getting and keeping a cat.

As a note an open container of pipe cleaners, in the eyes of a cat, means they have an awesome owner who gets them the bestest toys ever. They will attempt to repay this kindness by hiding said piping cleaners in a game my cats like to call "Leave surprises for daddy to find"
Also filters omg paper filters from MM's are worth trash dives if they see em

Man, I really miss having a cat around! They are just very fun to have. But the pet deposit in our current apt is $750! Non refundable! Ahh! How many of you guys with cats rent? And is there a crazy pet fee?
I completely understand a security deposit, so if when you leave and the place smells like piss they keep the $300 or whatever to clean or get new carpet.
But Ive noticed many places try and scalp you for having even a little pet like a cat. $750 extra for one year is just ridiculous, and other places Ive looked at charge a deposit PLUS a monthly fee! Maybe I just dont get it, as our house never smelled with pets in it, and I cant see a reason for so much extra charge.

So - this one's Dahlia, one of our brown tabbies. She was originally a long-term foster kitty, brought in feral at 4 months old. Normally, she'd have been spayed, had her ear tipped, and been re-relased, but the area where she was found wasn't really safe for a feral cat, so we took her on. She stays in her own room, mostly segregated from the other cats - and for about a year, we had her on kitty Prozac to calm her down. She's now pretty well-adjusted, and is starting to get along with a couple of the other cats, as long as they don't get too close.

Here's the other brown tabby, Neil - he was part of a litter of three that we fostered (we called them Neil, Alex, and Geddy...). Alex and Geddy got adopted, but due to some medical issues, we kinda bonded with Neil and kept him around. He can often be found curled up on my drum throne, oddly enough.

If you are thinking about getting a cat remember these two things:
1) Dogs have owners
2) Cats have staffPosted 5 months ago # -

Last but not least....
Tova, who is oddly camera shy.
Kilala, who is very much not camera shy. At all.
Tova, Kilala, and Aramis are all litter mates. My spouse and I used to foster for a local agency. Despite appearances, we did place more cats than we kept.
