I've learned that they come off like assholes with bad attitudes.. but they're just solitary creatures trying to cope with the fact that they have roommates. Haha

Cats are given a bum rap because they aren't dogs. If you talk to a cat-hater you will invariably hear about all the things that a cat won't do that a dog will.
My usual reply is along the lines, "That's because the creature in question is a cat, you idiot!"
I love many animals and would like to have a menagerie and the millions it would take to manage it. But I've chosen cats lifelong just because of their eccentricity and independence. I dog will love you just because, but you have to earn a cat's love. I admire the spirit and like to earn my keep.
I could write about my relationship with my cat, but suffice it to say that she was socially blunted at the start, but that constant positive reinforcement, she has blossomed. If she turns left, good kitty; right, the same. I adore her.
Pet insurance: $5500.00 paid since 2013, $1000.00 claim last month. Payout $200.00. What a scam! Those lowlife pieces of sh*t! My health insurer is just the same. Scum! Very good at collecting premiums and not so good paying claims.

Man.. I like my cat. I'm glad to hear other stories for the cat people on the forum.
But I'd kick my own ass if i paid for cat insurance.. They still haven't totally convinced me to buy insurance for my car.

The babies always look like bunnies
If you look closely at this picture you can see that Gingy is carrying a stick, she's bringing it to me so I can throw it for her..
and here's a picture of baby Gingy.
Good looking kittens!!
I’d never had a cat until my Better a half brought one home 9 years ago... now I’m fighting with two chunky cats for recliner space as I type this.

Let's see a picture of that $5500.00 cat.
Fun fact: cats are self-domesticated.
That's right. For as aloof as they seem they chose to keep people as theirservants companions.

I was a little confused by the title, I thought you were opening up a bordello @Richmond B. Funkenhouser

I find funny the things cats don't do. Are often things cats tend to do. Every cat I've had flipps out the moment I get home or wake up in the morning.
oh and never had a cat that doesn't come as easily as a dog does.
Self-domestication is great. The cat domesticates on its own terms.
What a great exposition of a cat's cogitations.
I work better with minimal supervision. Show me the job, and go away. Sometimes, in the middle of hanging out, I'll pick up and go with some sudden mission of my own. No wonder cats like me. I act like they do. I think it is interesting how they come and go around the house, appearing on their own schedule. I'm even quiet when there's no one else home. I had a black cat, male, who had shadows that moved in his dilated eyes, mystical. I had a big orange tabby who looked like a cougar, and when I adopted him and needed to take him to the vet, we wrestled for some time to get him in the carrier. He was so good at looping around and escaping. Finally, I just took him over my shoulder, and some big old motorcycle guy saw me with a cougar draped around my neck and gave me a big thumbs up. I later realized that in all the wrestling with the cat, he hadn't exposed his claws or tried to nip. What a guy.
Good grief I just wanna squeeze all those kittens and let them swarm me. Yes, I will squeal with delight as well. I am not ashamed.
I cannot contain myself anymore: this forum needs more kittens!
Picard is on the left, Watson is on the right. I’m right here in the middle, absolutely smitten with these two boys.

Here's a cat story for you guys, my 6-year old son recently had dental surgery and when we brought him home he was still loopy from the anesthesia and quite upset. He fell asleep in his room and our cat Cinnamon, who normally avoids him except for when he is eating, was very concerned, sniffed him all over and then sat on his bed and guarded him, watching his door carefully for intruders unwaveringly for almost three hours, not moving until he woke up.
