[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cats. I just don't understand the point of one.[/quote]

What is the point of any pet? Cats are the perfect pet. You can actually play with them (unlike anything in a tank) for more than a few minutes at a time (unlike anything in a cage), and it can usually free feed itself (unlike a dog that will always eat too much) and take itself to the bathroom when needed. The don't drool like dogs can, stink as bad as dogs can, fart as much as dogs can, need "walking" like dogs do, and don't take up as much space on the bed as dogs can.

They can be good protectors as well. I had a cat with me camping in the foothills of the Sierras that scared a bobcat away from our tent. He ran outside, hissed at it and growled with his ears back and the bobcat turned and ran away. The bobcat went a little further away where there was a pitbull with another family, the dog barked at it a few times and got swatted across the nose by the bobcat. It whimpered and ran to hide with it's tail between it's legs. Huge slash seen on it the next day, and my cat didn't even get touched.[/quote]

Ok. You live in an RV, right? Because no one "takes a cat camping".[/quote]

I did take him actually. I was staying on someone's land for the summer as an extra long vacation. I wasn't about to leave my cat for 2 months so he went with. He had a blast climbing real trees and going on walks with us (he was leash trained before we left). He was very closely bonded with me and never tried to run away. He got to experience nature before heading back home and becoming an indoor kitty again. He didn't miss the bears, and lived a very full and happy life because he got to explore without being in a city situation where he would have to deal with traffic and bothering neighbors by going into their yards. He loved his vacations with us like that. Gave him the chance to just be a cat in nature, but would happily go back to his cat trees at home and watching the birds out the window when back in the city. [/quote]
