Some of us like to have money to support our hobby, you know.

Looks like a cat, so it must act like a cat.

Also, cats sucks.

Abyssinians are whatever your cat is, but better, and even more retardedly funny. Good mousers, too.

I'm allergic to cats.

Oh, someone else owns a maine coon too?

Here's mine. I love him dearly. They are an amazing cat species.

i have owned several maine coons. they are loud as hell and shed constantly. but they are great companions.

I am allergic to cats.

>>7293811

Agreed, they tend to whine like hell if you don't give them attention and they shed like a motherfucker when they have to get their new coats, but it's definitely worth it.

I have my maine coon biting my foot right this moment :3

>>7293792
I have an Abyssinian. Best cats ever.

>>7293792
Can they scale walls unaided?
I'm looking to acquire a replacement cat soon, and this is an important requirement.

>>7293831

My maine coon can do this. He's gotten up to the roof of my two-story house multiple times unaided. Trees too.

>>7293828
All they do is purr like engines when you give them attention. No yelping, crying, etc., unless you make them beg for food. The quietest cats I've ever had. You have to de-claw them from the front, though, since they like climbing to the top of everything in sight when you're not watching.

Some sort of desert mountain cats.

Three maine-coon masterrace here.

Seriously. Those guys / girl rock.

I love my cat. The only problem is that he keeps bringing dead animals inside. Daily I'll find two or three corpses in my living room, and a few in my garden. How do I tell my cat that I don't like dead animals?

>>7293831
Well, my de-clawed one could scale our house by running at the wall and then shimmy up to the roof. The stupid bastard would swing from place to place until he reached the top, for no more reason than to perch wherever he wanted and look regal.

>>7293860

That means your cat loves you and wants you to be proud of him. He's bringing you his trophies out of gratitude. He's basically saying he thinks you are a great master.

Not much you can do about it unless you want to abuse your cat.

Siamese cats are the feline uber mensch.

>>7293860
When your cat mouses, it's his way of showing that he respects you, by clearing out the local vermin.

Most cats have specific hunting times. You should watch him and lead him to a specific spot when he brings something back. Try to get him to drop the vermin at that spot. Give him a treat if he does. He'll begin to associate vermin + spot = treat/approval, if you're lucky.

Taking the time out to do this will at least keep him from dropping them in the middle of the floor. It's almost impossible to make a cat stop mousing. The ones that are going to do it are going to do it until they get too old to do it, or until they get bored of it.

>>7293886

The dead bird, seemingly gift wrapped in ruffled feathers and crimson ribbon, isn't actually an offering to the owner at all, but more like a training exercise. See, cats teach their kittens and other dependent family members how to hunt and catch prey in gradual steps. When Fluffy dropped the corpse on your shoe, that was lesson number one in her teaching curriculum. She has noticed your appalling lack of hunting skills and inability to catch your own food, and is trying to teach you, as she would one of her kittens, how to feed yourself.

>occasionally goofy.
I have two and they are goofy 24/7.

Cat's get a lot of flack, but they can be just as great as dogs if you spend a lot of time with it and treat it will. Here's mine (old pic, hasn't snowed in a long time)

/jp/ has taste. Maine Coons and Abyssians.

I am actually proud of you all for once.

I always wanted to get one but I always end up taking a stray in that I happen to find. I have a soft spot for cats that would otherwise go unloved. Probably because they remind me of myself.

I have a Maine Coon and I love him to death. He does cry a lot for attention but other than that he's the best pet I've ever had.

I tried convincing my mom to get one but instead she adopted two Puggles who tear up anything they can get a hold of. They've even started digging paint off the walls.

>>7293963
Cats are like prodigal children. They ignore you for a while, try and do something by themselves, end up embarrassing themselves, and then try and laugh it off by coming over to you and giving you attention, all while trying to look proper.

It never gets old. My Abyssinian had no pride, though. He'd just do something stupid, look right at me, shake it off, and then try and do it again until he was satisfied. Like, he'd try to get to the top of a bookshelf that's impossible to get to, try for an hour to do it, get to a shelf under the top, and just look so proud of his achievement.

Then he'd completely forget about the bookshelf when I fed him.

Dogs just don't have that sort of enthusiasm. Dogs just chase after balls, and look happy when they find the brightly-colored, neon green ball in the black dirt. Cats... cats don't look proud of themselves until they've done a back-flip off your car.

Sweetest fucking cat.

>Dogs just chase after balls, and look happy when they find the brightly-colored, neon green ball in the black dirt
You forgot the shit all over the floor then eat it bit.
Though, they'd fit right in with /jp/.

>>7294057
I haven't met a coprophiliac cat, yet. I mean, they lick everything on their bodies, but at least they don't lick the shit itself.

>>7294057
The thing I don't like about dogs is that I can't eat anything in peace without it staring at me and whining.

I have 4
where have you been slowpoke

Cats only act like a "stereotypical cat" if you treat them as such for their entire life. Every cat I have ever had has been as affectionate in the "stereotypical dog" way.

Also, maine coons are awesome because they can be gigantic. And abyssinians are awesome because they are abyssinian.

I own 5 otomos.
They´re fucking awesome.
They can throw Boomerangs, play revitalizing flutes, throw bombs, use medieval weaponry and kill cattle that is 5 times bigger than themselves.
And when I´m gathering supplies, they help me out too.
They can carry all kinds of shit, from Dinosaur heads/pelt to several logs of wood.
They´re fucking cute too.
They tend to doze off sometimes, but they are well worth it.

>>7294124
They act like "stereotypical cats" if you try and be overly affectionate. Cats, unlike most dogs, don't like you being clingy. Feed the cat, return its affection when it decides to show some, and you're good. It'll bother you when it wants you to pay attention.

Abyssinians are awesome. If it didn't cost so much to get one, I'd get another. The one I got was a stray, believe that or not.

>>7294167

So you're your cats bitch?

Give and take man. Cat wants attention and you don't feel like, brush the cat off. It'll get over it - and most assuredly it'll walk off when it wants you to fuck off too.

>>7294203
If you're being emotionally bothered by a non-sentient creature and assigning it anthropomorphic personality traits, you should probably not own a pet.

If you don't own a pixie bob.
You have no heart.
The coolest cat ever.

/jp/, for the first time, I'm actually proud of you.

Pic related, our two family cats. Really miss them since I've moved to my own apartment and plan to get a cat as soon as I've found a new apartment that allows pets. Any suggestions apart from Maine Coons? I don't like it when cats shed too much.

>>7294264
Sorry forgot this.

i want a cat, but i'm too autistic to go out and get one

If only he didn't eat his own fur then puke it all over my food...

Nice cat though, if only he wouldn't mind being hugged. I do it anyway of course.

I don't have a cat, because they are 3D pig disgusting.

My cat got beat up by this douche, yellow male cat yesterday. There was fur everywhere on my porch and it was also stuck between his toes. Now he doesn't want to go out.

>>7294334
Congratulations, you now have an "indoors" cat.

Poor cat. He gets bullied and becomes a hikikomori ;_;

I'd like to know. Do cats and figs go well together? I have a lot of shelves with figures which cats like to jump on and I don't completely trust OP's take on this.

I don't know what breed my cat is, someone abandoned her near my house and we took her in. There's also a "neighborhood cat" that's been hanging out on the deck for the past few months.

Animals are a god-awful substitute for self-aware companions.

>>>/an/

>>7294099
That's your problem for being a shitty owner. I've never had that problem.

>>7294396
>he wants self-aware companions

Fuck animals. Can't take it easy with those fuckers around.

>>7294572

Cats are basically the physical manifestation of the concept of "taking it easy" though.

>You can count on them to be there to greet you every morning, and every time you get home, and they come when you call their name.
greet you because they are hungry
and come when you call because they think you're gonna give them canned food
>are lap cats who will love to snuggle with you
only after they claw into you for ten minutes while trying to "soften" you up

>>7294578
They are, but there got to be someone not taking it easy, who will provide the appropriate conditions for the one taking it easy.

Cats are awesome, when they aren't vomiting shit in your room.

I have 4 cats. 3 girls and 1 boy.

I don't really like long hair cats, they're just too much work to keep them looking nice. I currently have 2 short hairs that were given to me. The gray one is actually monstrous and the other one is only the size of a kitten even though he's 3.

Cats are awesome.

>fapping
>cat walks in
>won't leave
>she wants to fuck

No thank you.

Me with my two cats.

>>7294374
my cats don't bother with my figs. Really though it would depend a lot on your cats personality and how you have your figs laid out.

>>7294704
The worst a cat is going to do to your fig is try to rub their face all over it. Because that's what cats do. They rub their faces over everything slightly pointed, because to them, it is a massage.

>>7294744
or chew it or knock it off it's table.

>>7294762
I've never had a cat chew on anything. They'll try to rip up carpet sharpening their claws, but not chew on things.

Unless it's feathery or looks like food.

>>7294590

do you guys have outdoor or indoor cats? I get all my cats declawed asap so i keep mine indoor.
