I had a Maine Coon cat for about 10 years. One of the sweetest cats you could ever have. Dumb as a brick though. This cat had enough brain power to operate vital organs, and that is it. If you turned out all the lights, you could visually see his brain arcing from missed connections :rofl:

You drop something on its head as a kitten? Dads was TOO smart.

Nope. Lack of intelligence was standard equipment on him. Stared at the water bowl like it was sorcery. He would fart and jump because he startled himself. Poor bastard hated a car ride. Stuck his head in whatever worked as a hole and howled like a sodomized bitch until we got to the Vet. More fun ensued there.

 

After 10 years, he finally succumbed to brain failure when the last of 4 neurons reached EOL and he began thinking (term used loosely) it was perfectly normal to pee in the litterbox, but poop wherever in the house. He also stopped squatting when he tried to pee and most of the time, overshot the litterbox. Vet couldn't find anything physically wrong with him. You only clean waste up so many times before you surrender to the fact that its time to put'em down. I hated it, but not going to live like that.

 

I used to hate cats when I was a kid, but would love to have back the 3 that have passed on over the years. Down to the last one now and I dread the day she has to go.

A cat can really ruin your day - those claws can penetrate your skin pretty deep - and there are 20 of them!  I've ###### off a few cats in my day to know not to mess with them. If you do get into a scrape with a feline, no need to be gentle...

you guys are being too violent, there's no need of that; a good ol' punch if the cat attacks and it's enough. I've deal with cats and dogs gone mad and the only way is to pull the man card, while avoiding killing the animal. Sad to see the only alpha male in that situation is, in fact, the cat himself.

 

Punch it? I personally prefer the patented Boot-up-Arse? Method for dealing with bad felines. Less chance of those claws scratching me (long pants); bigger cats can scratch real deep and I'd rather lose a pair of pants than get sick from cat scratches.

I tried to watch one of his shows, he is such a patronising moron.

 

I cannot understand how two adults, probably with the joint mass of 340lbs can be intimidated by some moggy mass 22lbs.

 

I have two cats, I adore my two cats and I am the daddy in my home and they know it.

 

Seems they are cowardly namby pamby adults.

 

What is the world coming to?

Cats can give you a nasty scratch, especially around the face (which is why it is dumb-as-###### to have them around small children) but you could even get a blanket to smother it with and then put it outside. Minimise risk to yourself and no need to hurt the cat.

Co-worker was out for almost 2wks because her cat attacked her.  She lives close to the mountains and the cat was inside/outside cat.  Cat must of been spooked because it  climbed up one side of her body and down the other.  Bites, scratches, all over her arms and legs. She tossed got the cat outside but forgot a window was open so the cat got back in.  She was bleeding pretty good so she called 911.  911 operator thought she was joking until the ambulance showed up and saw the extent of her wounds and the pool of blood on the floor.  She got an infection and was in the hospital on an IV for a few days.  I saw her about a couple weeks after and she didnt look much better but was out of danger.  They had to put hte cat down to test for rabies.

 

Wouldnt think a house cat would do that much damage, but they can.


Oldie but goodie :)

 

I posted that once a while back and lots got offended.

Too much effort, smell and mess.

Damn skippy they are! I recently brought home a stray 6 month old stray pup. Thing has made my life hell. Constant attention required. If things don't improve in the next few months, I'm probably going to slit my wrists using the rusty spoon I've been keeping on standby for just such an occasion.

Hello,

honestly i probably would have killed it with my bare hands. no animal would attack my child and survive.

I would have killed it period. Your kid before the cat always.

Now, this story is a bit more bareable; The cat, being inside/out might have caught rabies like you said. She also (from your story) seemed to be alone.

This story has TWO "GROWN" ADULTS. You kick that cat in the head and it wouldnt be coming at all. And if it keeps coming, get your kitchen knife and you stab the POS. Period.

I mean, it hit your kid; Your child comes ALWAYS before any animal.

Cat didnt have rabies.  Just was freaking out for some reason.  My guess, coyotes.  And she has 2 kids (was recently divorced) but the cat was going after her, not the kids.

Nope, even if I did why would I want extra stress and mess? Parents never got another dog after the old one died for those very reasons.

I always had a dog growing up, they aren't that bad and if you train them right they aren't messy.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • 4TB TEAMGROUP MP44Q, 2TB T-Force G50, and 2TB WD My Passport SSDs drop to great prices

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
