Last night he did not do that, I found him in the bathroom with the door closed and when I opened it, I herd all about it, it was not friendly, no, he was pissed. I pet him and told him what a good boy he was but he was having none of it, still telling me about the abuse he had to endure. I gave him some of his favorite treats, when seemed to make him happy again. Wrong, after eating the treats he came to me and used my leg as a cat scratching post just to let me know not to ever do that again.

Word of advice, never piss off your master/Cat or leave him locked in the bathroom all night.

So you found your cat? He was lost in the woods, correct? I'm glad to hear it!

I think it is less cruel than taking the resulting kittens, putting them in a canvas

Cats never get lost, they just go on vacation!

Cats know where they get fed. While they want you to think they are in control you know who is the real boss when feeding time comes around.

My current cats have never sought revenge on me, but I have had cats that do.

P.O.'ed one pissed in my shoe, not just once but that became notice over P.O.'ed incidences.

Currently, my cats are trained how fragile my skin is.

If they bite beyond a love bite or scratch I complain in cat language, lots of body speak, with licking the wound, looking at it, and licking more.

Withdrawing while keeping an eye on them and finally, imitating the tail flick P.O.'ed sign.

Discovered one can play guilt trips on a cat

If there is blood show them. They can see it.

Currently I can play rougher with these cats and they know how rough they can be when they have had enough.

Just realized my Siamese brothers will be 13 years old this May. My last cat was OLD at 13.

The Siamese are not seemingly old. I would repeat the Siamese experience or an Abbysinnian or an alley cat. Prefer neutered females.

None of my cats are, papered / documented pedigree.

BTW did YOU know a cat's neurochemistry is totally different from a rat, pig, dog or man which are more similar. The neuroscience crowd thought they had found a cheap lab animal with a regular sized head. And once again The Cat fooled them

Pacify a cat?

Science Diet "Dental Diet" are larger chunks of food, give as treat then,

Guilt trip on a cat? Check, I have done this.

PS.

Homo sapiens, to save itself from elements and create comfort, created enormous technospere, economy and society. Petting and purring over it all takes averange specimen at least 1/3 of its time. Approximately the same time as sleeping.

Felis catus for the same purpose uses homo sapiens. Petting and purring over it rarely requires more than an hour or two a day.

And who, I ask you, is sapient?

Would one of you guys please repost that hillarious one of "washing a cat" involving putting the cat in the toilet, adding shampoo, closing the lid and flushing - LOL

P.S. Rupert would not approve of my request.

Not the joke you requested, but close enough. I never knew a cat could do a back flip.

Thank you Losethem. I found the one I was looking for.

I was putting together a water bed once, and my cat, curious as always, was watching me. The water bed mattress was elevated off the floor by the frame of the water bed, and that left a foot or so of space, covered by sheets of plywood, below the mattress.

Anyway, I put the water bed together and filled the mattress. Couldn't find the cat anywhere. No one had let it out of the house. Only one place it could be. I had to empty the water bed mattress, and sure enough, the cat had jumped into the space beneath the mattress, while I was putting it together. I probably had gone out of the room for a minute before closing it up, and he had gone exploring.

I've told this next story before:

I had another cat. Every time I would sit on the toilet, he would come in and play in the bathtub. That is, until one night I had filled the tub first for a bath before taking a crap.

I sat down on the toilet; he came into the bathroom, went over to the bathtub and jumped in. He stood stock still in the water for an instant before coming straight up out of the bathtub only to land in the litter box. So now, I had an angry, wet, litter covered cat.

Don't know that he ever played in the bathtub again.

I had a third cat. Whenever I returned after being away for the weekend, he would sulk. He wouldn't come near me; instead, he would pace back and forth on the other side of the room, meowing, letting me know he was pissed. After an hour or so, he would relent and come to me.
