I feel bad now because I really want a cat but I cannot have one.

Though my opinion of your authority is lowered by including "Femanon" in your filename.

Thank god, I own a japanese koi fish.

I am a cat...

My cat died to pneumonia. Get me a new cat and I'll have a cat.

>>8927884

I'm sorry for your loss anonymous.

>>8927891
He was a stray I found in my shed. I took him in but he must have been already sick. Fun cat though. Still, send me a new cat and I'll have a cat. If you don't you can't bitch about me not having one.

My parents have a cat. I do not.
He's a good cat. Only bit me once in ten years.

>>8927879
I kind of want a cat. Do you poop and pee all over the place? Do you bite cords and destroy stuff? If NOT, I'd like you to be my pet. You can chill all day and do nothing.

Superior pets.

Dogs > cats

Dogs are loyal, friendly, playful, respectful and don't shed as much hair or trigger allergic reactions as much as cats. Cats are too independent, they don't give a shit about your furniture, they aren't playful, they normally don't like to be held or stroked, etc.

Cats are shit tier. Don't worry, you can rationalize your ownership of a pet in this thread, OP. I won't make you feel too bad about your poor taste.

>>8927925
>they normally don't like to be held or stroked

It's not our fault you are a foggot with cats so they don't want you to stroke them.

>>8927925
Dogs are troublesome, and they expect you to do things. The small ones are fucking cunts and the big ones are energetic and shit and need you to play with them for hours. Cats can do their own thing and when they want to hang out you just chill.

My cat died last year. Haven't found the courage to replace her. I'm lonely as fuck.

>>8927934
faggot*

Cats are the ultimate NEETs. They do nothing but take it easy all day every day. So laid back. Sleeping and eating erryday.

>>8927925

This guy for instance could never be a cat

Man, these "pet wars" are annoying as fuck.

>>8927958
>Ultimate NEET
>Eating erryday

Pick one.

>>8927946
>>8927946

If your cat kept you company she loved you. She would want her owner to be happy again. Maybe you should start considering a new kitty.

>>8927958
Dogs:
Jumps on your bed in the morning, wakes you up.
Licks your face happily.
Wants to play with you and be your friend.
Goes outside and shit on the garden or something.
Comes back inside, lays in the sun or on your blankets or furniture with you.
Brings its toys to you to play fetch.
Instinctively know when you're feeling down, will try to cheer you up and be inquisitive.
Want to go on walks with you.

Cats:
Do their own thing, pretend you don't exist.
Shits and pisses in a box in your house that stinks.
Look at you like you're retarded when they want to go outside, expecting you to understand what they want.
Stay out at all hours, unpredictable sometimes.
Don't like to be stroked.
Will look at you like you're weird if you want them to come to you for some attention.
Sleeps most of the time, and is generally uninteresting.
Spends its outside time sitting on fences or walls sleeping or looking at birds.

Jee this sure is a hard decision.

I'm afraid to keep a pet due to my unreliable lifestyle.
I do have some kind of corvid that that nests by my window and keeps me company, I wonder if that counts.

It would be really nice to get a cat again though.

>>8928002
You're trying too hard, and you're also retarded if you can't figure out cats. Take your extroversion and shitposting somewhere else.

>>8928002

>I have no active dislike for dogs, any more than I have for monkeys, human beings, tradesmen, cows, sheep, or pterodactyls; but for the cat I have entertained a particular respect and affection ever since the earliest days of my infancy. In its flawless grace and superior self-sufficiency I have seen a symbol of the perfect beauty and bland impersonality of the universe itself, objectively considered, and in its air of silent mystery there resides for me all the wonder and fascination of the unknown. The dog appeals to cheap and facile emotions; the cat to the deepest founts of imagination and cosmic perception in the human mind. It is no accident that the contemplative Egyptians, together with such later poetic spirits as Poe, Gautier, Baudelaire and Swinburne, were all sincere worshippers of the supple grimalkin.

Ayayayaya!

>>8928015
The Egyptians paid tribute to dogs too.

>>8928009
>trying too hard
Yeah it took me hours to think of fake instances of animal characteristics, just to make you openly sage a thread. Can you please rate me out of 10? Next time I want to get my responses down to under 30 minutes and get more angry replies, etc.

>>8928002
Dogs:
Jumps on your bed in the morning, wakes you up.
Licks it's ass, then your face happily.
Wants to play with you, regardless of what you want.
Goes outside and shit on the garden, enjoy cleaning that up. Double enjoyment if the dog needs to go but can't get out and takes a shit on your carpet.
Comes back inside, lays in the sun or on your blankets or furniture, shame dogs don't wipe their feet or ass, but do step in their own crap.
Brings its toys to you to play fetch.

Only two of the four dogs I've owned have ever been interested in playing with toys too. The other two spend most of their time sleeping and taking it easy.

I adopted a cat few months ago but I prefer dogs much more
I didn't even give her a name still.

I doubt I ever will, I just call her "Cat"

>>8928025
>just to make you openly sage a thread
I choose to believe this is just some really bad effort at ironic shitposting.

I wonder what kind of names anon gives to his cats

My last got flees and died in my room. I had to fumigate the house and go outside for an entire day because of it.

Animals are just an annoyance.

My dog's all
WOOF WOOF
GIVE ME ATTENTION

Fucking dogs.

Can't you just let cats wander around in the streets and shit? Or is that an urban legend?

>>8928036
No. You could noko;sage like the good posters in /jp/, yet you keep it there on its own as some kind of ironic badge of honor.

>>8928028
>he doesn't let his dog fertilize his garden
why?

>>8928002
You must have had really bad cats, none of mine were ever like that.

Most loved fetch, I had some who simply couldn't spend a second not being on me, and being stroked, were super affectionate, and much better than the dogs I had at trying to cheer people up. As for the litter box thing, that's more convenient for someone who doesn't want to go outside, you'd have to take a dog out a few times a day, whereas a litterbox can go for as long as a week at a time.

>>8928037
I named my cat Mephisto after the D2 boss.
He responds to it.

My dog is sweet and quiet. She just wants to lie down besides me, and if I am paying attention to her she'll start nudging my hand with her nose wanting me to pet her. But if I don't pay attention to her she is perfectly content with just lying down next to me and making a bed for herself.

>>8928037
Depends on the anon, anon. Different people choose different schemes

I can't really choose a single scheme because I always run out of names, Some I name GiTS characters, some I name native american tribe names, and so on.

>>8928045
piss is terrible for plants undiluted, it'll burn them because of the high nitrogen content, and salt will build up in the soil

Can you walk a cat?

>>8928041
Ahh shit, I just typed this up, let me try again.

Some cats do this just fine. I had a cat that would stroll about the neighborhood for hours at a time, pick fights with full grown big ass dogs and win. She was tough as nails, and had a bit of scarring to prove it. When we moved she didn't get to go out, and there weren't really many animals around. One day I let her out and she doesn't come back. Two or three days after I find her outside my door and take her. She died in my lap, right there in the kitchen, because of bugs or some shit. I really do miss that cat.

What if I own a Tarantula?

>>8928057
Depends on the cat. If you do it from when they're kittens, most will probably take to it.

>>8928047
Out of the dozens of cats that I've stroked or owned or been near, less than half of them have ever been interested enough to even come near me when trying to initiate contact with them. At most, they brush themselves on your hand as they walk past.

Where as dogs are far more open and playful. They'll sit next to you and spend hours letting you stroke their belly while they lick you. I've never really had big dogs, though. They can be more of a handful but still way less assburgers than cats.

>>8928041
There are two types of cats, cats who never go outside, and cats who were born outside.

If you take in a stray, you could let it wander around all it wants and it will still come back and spend a lot of time around the house.

If you take a cat that has never set foot outside and let it loose, it will likely never come back if it gets away.

>>8928069

Why are you arguing here? Seriously. Do you think we're going to stop liking cats because you say so? Instead of shitting up this thread you could've been making decent posts elsewhere. Not that you would have.

>>8928069
the problems people seem to have with cats always tend to be ones I've never personally had.

I've had plenty with dogs though, small dogs are by far my least favorite.

In my home country, this is Nara of japan, dog animal:
1.licking stuff everything
2.barkingto other dog
3.lick to face when happy, body is bad smell
4.dont having brain, many dog, make hole in ground and hide dirty pants, old shoes
5.raping dog gal because dog gal say dog boy no thanks, very ugly and fat
6.very smell of food eating by dog
7.very smell body, no bath long time, sometime 10 days?
dog=monkey same

>>8928060

What sort?

>>8928080
>please respond

>>8928084
The nicest cats seem to be the ones you see other people have, that liked to be held, etc. Maybe they just suit your lifestyle more than dogs. I can imagine the independence thing being especially valuable when you don't go outside much.

How about a japanese monkey?

I just have two dogs I used to have cats though.

>>8927983
Somehow, your post moved me. I'll think about it, thank you Anon.

>>8928103
Yeah monkeys seem like good pets. Very dextrous, agile and playful, etc. But they remind me of coons. I dislike coons.

>>8928096
I've heard that a lot, can't say I know why. My cats are nice enough to me, there have been one or two with meanstreaks in my lifetime though, even then the only time they were unapproachable was when one had a litter. They tended to just be angry with my other cats and strangers, rather than me.

I've also had a share of sweet cats too, of course.

What about a Japanese dog?
I have a Akita back home.
I don't need to explain why it's an Akita do I?
Had cat.
Cat died.

Picture not my dog and is not an Akita.
I originally photo shoped another pic and made it into this for /jp/ in my photoshop class.
I wish we would do something with it that makes it part of /jp/....

>>8928096

Who are you quoting?

Look, you turn up here >>8927925 making a ridiculously overblown post that serves no purpose but to stir up a pointless argument. Don't like cats? Then don't post in a cat thread. Like dogs? Then make a dog thread. You contributed nothing from the beginning, you just wanted to be obnoxious and attention seek... hey, kinda like dogs.

>>8928073
I got the first one.
She spends most of the time outside and sometimes around the house, I just feed her at morning and at night.

I have a cat who I found abandoned in the woods when he was a kitten. He was very hungry, so I gave him some food and he started following me since then.
I also have a persian cat who is a truneet and does nothing all day everyday. She likes it that way, though.

I like dogs, but my current situation makes it difficulty for me to have one.

>>8928116
Not to mention COMPLETE BASTARDS. You cannot EVER turn your back on them.

pets?
you may as well admit to having friends who you party and have promiscuous sex with every friday and saturday

>>8928135

...and I suck for giving you attention, but hey

I don't actually understand why people are so obsessed with comparing cats and dogs anyway. They're completely different animals, all they have in common is being domesticated.

Turtles are also domesticated and walk on four legs. dogz is superiors 2 turtle!!!!

>>8928145
TRUNEET as phuck

>>8928154
Keeping turtles takes a ton of work, and they don't really appreciate skinship.

>>8928093
A docile Grammostola rosea female.

Picture is before remodeling it's home.


I show her my porn.

>>8928154
Its just people who are searching to argue with someone.
If you tell them dogs are better they will say you are retarded and that cats are better.Same goes for cats tell them cats are better and they will say you are retarded and dogs are better.

Its the same shit why people argue about video games on /v/ without any point.

>>8928154
lolno dud dogz bets man conpanion all turle do is eat food and shit crap!!not even friend

>>8928145

Sure I socialize with my cats, they're a rather quiet group though.

I wouldn't care to socialize with people though.

I have rats. They're just as fun, but much lower maintenance.

>>8928093
A docile Grammostola rosea female.

This picture is old, before remodeling her home.


I show her my porn.

I want a pet cat like Orin

>>8928174
If you aren't breeding them en masse for an eventual plague rat infestation sparking an epidemic of unprecedented proportions, then you aren't doing it right.

>>8928180
Do you mean like the coloring?

>>8928178
with what you feed her ?

>>8928197

The everything.

>>8928203
So you mean you'd want Orin for a pet

I'd want a pet cat like chen, but we can't have everything

>>8928206
Any live insect.

>>8928165

This. If you don't have an absolutely insane passion for reptile keeping and/or are retired with pension and/or are fifty years old, keeping healthy turtles as pets will consume your life.

However, if that's okay with you and you fulfill those requirements, what you get in return is a pet that will quite possibly stay with you for the rest of your life.

>>8928154
My dog loves eating turtles. Your post reminded me that he hasn't had one in a while!

>>8928178
A friend of mine used to have a big-ass spider that his father found in a swamp.
They are cool to see but honestly not very exciting when you keep them caged. I prefer to "keep" spiders in their webs.

Cats are for fucking retards. Go buy yourself a dog you fruits.

>>8928178
What's her favorite porn that you've shown her?

I used to have comet goldfish but they all died. I cannot buy more in good conscience until I have a tank bigger than 10 gallons. They were so energetic and happy, like little puppies. I miss them.

Whenever my cat chills with me she always tries to nurse on my shirt. She's probably too old to still be doing that...

>>8928178

I'm horrendously afraid of spiders and that's still one of the most beautiful animals I've seen today.

Really nice to see a fairly plain Chilean rose too, these days when more exotic (aggressive) and colourful (reclusive) ones seem to be fashionable.

I'd rather have a dog tbh

>>8928243
I had dogs my entire life and now have a cat. I love both animals.

Cats have a loveliness about them. My cat bangs on my door till I let her in. Sits on my bed crying until I lay down then she jumps on my chest and purrs till she falls asleep. I'll probably kill myself when she dies.

>>8928269

Cats never get too old for that.
It just means she thinks you smell good, and people probably think you need a shower.

I had a dog. She was a selfish bitch but I liked her...

I miss her.

>>8928294
She does it to everybody though. It's so lewd...

I do like dogs but I prefers cats. Cat groom themselves and never (that I've experienced) smell. They are not as active as dogs, everybody knows this. However, my cat is my bro.

If I want him to come, I will call him and he comes over. If I'm laying on the floor and relocate, he will too if I call out to him. He is really the only thing I live for. I absolutely love the guy, he is a cat with the loyalty of a dog. He always knows when I am down and will come over and rub his head against mine if he senses it.

I don't even want to type this bit because I don't want to accept the fact that it will happen but, If there is anything in this world that terrifies me, it is the day he dies. It scares me more than the thought of my own death, especially since his will probably be before my own. Even if I did try to replace him, what if the next cat isn't as sweet as him?

>>8928178
>I show her my porn.

I saved this picture on /d/ a while ago. Maybe you should consider getting her something similar.

I never understood the desire to own pets.

I have my PC, that's my pet. I was thinking about getting one of those robotic vacuum cleaner pod things, that's be like a pet I suppose.

Other than that, it'd just be another lifeform hanging around my house. A distraction at best, an annoyance at worst.

>>8928338
You know those cute things you like? Imagine that, but also an animal, and it also reacts to you and you can pet it.

>>8928347
So a robot?

>>8928359
Yes, but real.

Don't worry--everyone ITT will upgrade to a robot when the time comes.

>>8928367
I don't think I'd go with a robot. If I did want to "upgrade" I'd go with a tulpa.

>>8928327

Lesbian bondage bestiality?

>>8928367
I'll be dead before robotics can be this moe.

>>8928245
Yeah, they're pretty quiet. But watch them hunt to feed.

>>8928275
Well, this species of spiders are well known for being passive and to bite rarely.

And the really scary ones are the fast ones. Pic related.

>>8928327
She hasn't told me her sexual preferences yet.

>>8928409

That .gif is absolutely horrifying.
Which in itself is rather amusing considering how most spiders considered "aggressive" are way more afraid of us than we are of them.

Now, I don't know anyone who has one personally, so can't tell for sure but perhaps you know. I've been told people who keep cobalt blue tarantulas, earth tigers or baboon spiders affectionately refer to them as "pet holes" because they are outright afraid of open spaces and all you ever see of them is the burrow. Which is kind of ironic for species where the big pet appear is in exotic appearance.

>>8928477
>cobalt blue tarantulas
I've heard these are extremely aggressive.

And indeed, there are species of spiders that come out of their trap-door holes only to hunt and to procreate. But nevertheless, they can be drawn outside by releasing live insects / small rodents, etc. near the opening.

But yeah, spiders may not be as fun as a dog or a cat, but they need almost no maintenance. And they aren't neither smelly nor noisy.
