I need to Vent

Ok, this has nothing to do with the game. But its 6am here and my girl wont answer the phone. Maybe someone will help. I recently took it upon myself to raise some baby kittens. The reason why is cus the mom brought them to me and actually put them in my hand. Something that rarely happens. I raised the first two pretty well with limited problems. But then another cat got pregant. Well since i loved the first two i wanted to try with these. its only 2, ones under the house with the bigger cats. I wanted this one cus its very lovable. Its lil angel face is cute as hell...BUT DONT LET IT FOOL YOU! THIS THING IS THE DAMN DEVIL!! ITS BEEN CRAPPING EVERY FREAKIN WHERE! MY BED IS FULL OF PEE AND S&*T STAINS! AND ITS ALL FROM THE LAST TWO NIGHTS!! IT WAS JUS PEE YESTERDAY BUT TODAY I FED IT A HOTDOG SINCE I WAS OUTTA FOOD AND THIS THING HAS GONE LIKE 24 TIMES! MY ROOM SMELLS LIKE A LITTER BOX! THIS THING HAS CRAPPED AND PISSED MORE THAN THE OTHER TWO CATS COMBINED. THEY STAYED IN HERE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THIS THINGS BEEN IN HERE A WEEK! AND ITS NOT EASY TO CLEAN! U KNO WHAT KIND IM TALKIN BOUT! WHAT THA HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS THING?! WHY THE HELL DID THE OTHER ONES TRAIN SO WELL BUT THIS LITTLE BASTARD SEEMS TO THINK ITS FUNNY TO PISS ME OFF!! MY BED IS AMAZING, TEMPERPEDIC....LIKE 1 MILLION THREAD COUNT COVERS AND SHEETS AND THIS LIL BASTARD HAS RUINED IT!! I STRANGLED IT, SPANKED IT, AND EVERYTIME I DO....IT LAYS DOWN AND GOES TO SLEEP THEN I START THINKING AWW ITS SO CUTE MAYBE IT WONT HURT TO GET IT BACK UP HERE, HOW MUCH MORE COULD IT HAVE...THEN BOOOOM!!

These things are supposed to be clean! I might as well have a dog. Tha thing is, its so little.. Fits in the palm of my hand, its only 4 weeks old! IS ALL THIS CRAP COMIN FROM A HOTDOG?! I think someone gave it a freakin laxative!

Get a dog. It'll do the same, but at least it's not a cat.

Let me get this right ... you strangled and spanked a four-week-old kitten??????

Not the way ur thinking. I jus let it kno i was disappointed. She still loves me, its in the studio with me right now bumpin his head while im layin down bars.

LMFAO! Chill Kasper, this what they do, hell human babies arent much better.

When it shits or pisses where it shouldnt, scold it *gently* and show it where it should do its business, a litter tray or newspsper, whatever. If it uses the right place, praise it like mad.

Above all have patience, lots of patience dude. It'll be worth it seeing as you seem to be really fond of the other cats.

And comon...hotdogs to a kitten...what do you expect man...

Haahahaha! Loved it.

lmao, it was hungry and i didnt feel like makin the poor thing wait. The thing is, its not whats its doing....its that she went crazy with it! I mean this thing has been shittin constantly, and pissing like it drank 3 gallons of water! And yea i love the little devils, there playful and cute as hell. If i ever get my paper right im gonna open up hundreds of shelter.

Cats even kittens are territorial animals. How many cats do you have in the house?

You need one litter box per cat plus one if you have multiple cats.

1 cat 1 litter box.
2 cats 3 litter boxes etc.

Sounds like you've taken in an outdoor cat. Nothing wrong with that but you should take it to the vet and make sure it is vaccinated and isn't sick to begin with.

Additionally you should get it spayed when old enough. It's healthier for the cat (less chance of several types of disease) and calms them down. Plus the fact you have no unwanted pregnancies, the number of cats that you end up with starting with a breeding pair in a years time is astronomical if they all live and breed every time it's possible.

Vaccinations for indoor ONLY cats are different than those for indoor/outdoor and cats that stay outdoors all the time.

The urination problem could be an infection. If not it's behavior and how you correct that is basically dependent on what type of personality the cat has.

Either way spanking or hitting a cat has no positive effect on it's behavior.

Urination in cats where it's not due to infection is generally caused by feelings of insecurity. The cat needs to feel that it is safe in it's "home" otherwise it's going to be marking it's territory.

With multiple cats ... you have to figure out if it's the other cats causing it either way the litter boxes like I said above should help.

If you have cats outside that are marking the house because of the indoor cats .. well the indoor cats will usually do the same.

Personalities in cats like humans range from extremely friendly to leave me the flock alone. Additionally, you can also break them down into "tree cats" or "bush cats".

Tree cats prefer high places, Bush cats prefer low.

If you have a "tree cat" you'd be better off making sure they can move around the house from one high place to another without knocking over something you care about.

Bush cats can be satisfied with something as simple as a cardboard box they can get into and hide.

No matter what type of cat you have you have to remember it's a creature of instinct. You need to play with it often.

A cat by instinct will hunt and kill. The simplest thing to satisfy that instinct is a long string with a tassle or feather on the end you throw out and let it chase.

Cats like children need toys to entertain them. An old wine cork they can play hockey with is just one simple example.

Cats also need someplace to sharpen their claws, if you don't provide something, and here's the trick, place it where THEY find it acceptable, they will find one themselves usually on your furniture.

I don't believe in having a cat's front claws removed. It can cause behavior problems most generally biting, and how would you like someone cutting the tips of your fingers off.

Claws provide sensory input to the cat, much like the tips of your fingers do to you.

You shouldn't hit a cat, they do learn the meaning of NO.

1. take the cat to the vet ... follow the vet's recommendations.

2. Deal with the litter box situation.

3. Feed the cat, cat food dry or wet whatever you want just make sure it contains some form of protein. Cats will go blind without it.

4. Play with the cat.

5. Figure out the personality of the cat and how to deal with it.

Other than that ... I have no suggestions.

Well Yankee, I think you summed it up with that post. Well said. Very informative.

P.S.- I've had 2 cats(now I have 2 dogs), and they would fetch a sponge type ball and return to me so I could throw it again. My dogs won't even do that!

Well its an indoor cat cus it was born and raised inside. Its just now old enough to learn to use a litter box so im not completely pissed off cus its still baby. And i think its a head cat, cus it lays on my head most the time. Anyway thanks for all the advice, its defintly very informative, I apreciate it

Yankee summed it up very well but 4 weeks old it should be fed milk also that you get at the vet office and canned kitten food until they are 8 weeks old then you can ween them off the milk. I have raised 18 from birth and all doing fine now that they are adults.

A possibility is that it has diabetes; the excessive urination may be a symptom. Not likely, but a possibility. (I am more a cat person than a dog person, altho cats are our captors, not vice versa; the sooner you realize that, the better you understand em )

Pink Poodles Rule!

People its not sick or anything, it just Craps and pisses everywhere. Its the messiest cat ever! And Maclean i know bruh, we think were their masters but think about it, we feed them, water them, pet them, make their beds, buy them toys, and control the strings that they love playing with. Were basically their bitch. The cat actually accepts us into their lil clan. Whenever they rub their heads and sides agaisnt us, people think their showing affection. Nope. Their marking us and letting others know were their human. Were their pet. That Pink poodles reminds me of something i seen when i was on Bath Salts......THEN I ATE IT (jOke)

They taste like chicken apparently.

Oh lordy. Looks like you need to drum up the Ask Lorelei section of the game. ha ha ah ah

My cat is jealous of my God Children. He hates them. Won't even come out to eat or anything when THEY are in HIS house. lol Danged right, cats are territorial. Never feed a kitty a hotdog! Kitten food with good nutritional content. Milk will give it da squirts. WATER only and Kitty food only!!! Too funny.

Oh hullo the great Lorelei returns

hiya Tom Tom :-P

One of my cats is dying.

Damn. Make that, Dead. You'll be missed Cocaine Cowboy

Shit, sorry about that Kasper.

I just dog a hole. Im lettin its momma do whatever it is they do then imma burry it. Its alright tho, its just a cat. I took care of it from a very tiny baby. It lived under my sink for several weeks. But thats life. Thats the main reason im a Christian, to hope for life after death and that all things will be ok. Including animals. Its sad but it doesnt faze me. Like i said, i've met death many, many times.

I do miss my damn cat tho. It used to play with this other one and now its sitting here lookin depressed. Its meowing got on my nerves and now i miss it. I used to wake up with on my chest and one on my head. And my girlfriend on the other side of my chest. I feel like im outta place now

my condolences too, kasper. i was 22 when I had to put my dog to sleep (the last dog I ever had, as I couldn't take that again) and bawled like a baby, and ain't ashamed of it, either. Even tho that dog chewed up a lotta my stuff...

Lol, thats why we love our animals. The shit they do to piss us off. Then they look at us with that sad face and bamm, their forgiven
