Thursday morning Cindy and I were watching television while stretched out on the bed. Baxter was next to Cindy and she made the mistake of petting him. Herm, our cat, jumped up on the bed, jumped on Baxter's back, it looked like a "lion on an antelope" attack. Then the cat bites Baxter on the back of his neck. Baxter yelped and ran into the hall bath, never to return. He whined and barked for about 20 minutes. I called for him to come by me but he would only stick out his head out the doorway far enough to see down the hall. (I have pictures of Whimpboy).
Baxter is afraid of cats, how do I cure that??

Moved in March 21st, 2003 (my wife's b-day and b-day gift). It may be funny to you. To me, it's a bit disappointing knowing that your loyal friend and PROTECTOR is afraid of cats. I am thinking of trying to teach him how to maul the cat. If I rough house with the cat, Baxter is all macho and tough. If it's one on one. Don't bet on Baxter.

I have 4 Chiuahauas and there is a cat, a young one that walks the wall between our house and the neighbors and then sits. Well I use to think that just one day that cats going to fall and he's done. Nope he jumped down last thursday for a piece of turkey (which I planted for some action) and the dogs saw him ran outside, the cat stood his ground and they all ran inside, to bark loudly. Maybe it's time for a bigger dog? I have to peel my dogs off the neighbors doberman, thank god that dog doesnt eat one of mine. He thinks they're playing with him. Something their size and they're scared! I guess you'll just have to live with it. Maybe you'll come home one day to find the CAT ready to go fishing. Maybe a new good luck charm--Nah a bigger swim bait????? Chris

I have 2 hounds that have a combined weight of about 200 pounds. A cat was dumb enough to tease them on the block wall in the backyard, then jump INTO the yard and straight at them. The cat scratched the big one's nose and made it bleed. They had the cat on its back ready to chow on the little appetizer... and they LET IT GO! They just looked at me like, "What now?" I'm glad nobody else saw it. These are big hounds and are supposed to kill stuff like that. My next dog will be a rottie, shepherd or dobie.

Hey Spidy I hear that a dog usually learns by watching his human counterpart. You are such a whiner lmao.
So when are we going fishing huh.

This kinda reminds me of a story the KIDS won't hear about.
The kids found a runt kitten across the street at the school. It's eyes were still closed and it needed nursing to survive. Well, Wendy and the kids decided to do the nurse thing for it. Wendy bought the small bottle and the kitten formula(yeah, that's right, kitten formula!) and they nursed it to health. A few months later we're all still waiting for this #@$! cat to mellow out and be a family house cat. I guess some cats are great and some are not so great. I've owned cats before(I reluctantly admit), but this one was just plain wild! It never calmed down and would scratch/claw/bite you when ever it got the chance! It would bang on our bedroom door until you got up and fed it and Yowl till you couldn't stand it!
The last straw was it using the bath tub as its litter box. We had a great private roof type litter box that it would use some times, but have you ever smelled a fresh cat turd in the bath tub? Trust me. You don't!
I told Wendy that when the kids were off to school, the little varmint was going for the "Big Ride"!
I didn't have the heart to shoot it, well.........truth be told, my .22 was at a friends house, so I thought I'd find a nice new development next to a dairy farm. This way if it didn't want to hang out with kids, maybe it would be a farm cat.
So I find a nice spot to drop it off and that's what I did! At least I thought I did. I dropped the cat out the door with its "I'm gonna kick your @ss look" on its face and it took off!
Ok, that's what I thought. The cat is gone and good riddance to it! :lol: So now I put the truck in gear happy to be rid of it and not more than an inch in drive......Thump, Thump! :shock: Oh !#@! I look in my rear view mirror and the thing is doing the dead cat break dance!
I couldn't just leave it there and it quit moving pretty quickly anyway, so I picked it up by the tail and tossed it in the bed of "ol Brown". I wasn't going to let that critter ride in my nice truck. I took it home and dug a nice grave for it and told the kids that it got hit by a car. It wasn't a total lie. :roll: The kids bought it and Wendy's youngest and I had a long talk about kitty heaven and that it was in a better place....yadda yadda yadda.
Which brings me to where this post is kinda in line with Daves.
I bought Wendy her Christmas present. A beautiful 6 week old BEAGLE! What a cool dog! And I didn't do it to get the kids off of my back to get another kitten either! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!

Spiderman,
I have a dog that's part timberwolf and he weighs about 100 pounds and he doesn't mess with "my" cat... What makes it bad is that "my" cat's name is Alpo... No joke.
What's funny is that the cat would ambush Lobo when they were both allowed in the house and he would bite Lobe on the neck, cheeks, ears and tail and then run like hell...
...oh, and "my" cat doesn't like corned beef cabbage.

personally I would dump the beagle, and get another cat. Now if you think about it a cat is the best pet out there.
You leave a bowl of food on the floor and your toliet lid open, That way it feeds itself. They are not messy, they dont stink and they dont crap big turds that you have to pick up in your yard.
They usually go in the neighbors yard.
Also they are very light so when the time comes to throw one across the room you generally wont break anything, where as a dog your going to put a dent in the wall at a minimum. Also a cat has nine lives and you can do this many many times before it expires(politically correct word)
Also when it comes time to get rid of the cat, by either shooting it or taking it to the pound people dont think your a jackass and a looser for getting rid of one. And they generally dont call the pet police on you, if you fling it out the front or back door cause it sat on your couch.
If you forget to buy food it catches a bird it eats the good parts then brings it to you, or leaves it under the bed and blames it on the kids.
Its the only pet where you can open your door and yell at the top of your lungs here P---y P---y,
If you do that with a dog and yell here Bi--h your wife will kill you.
You just cant go wrong with a cat.

2 cats for sale or obo!
OOOOHH Delw! I've got 2 you can have that I inherited via marriage. I will admit they are the friendliest cats I've ever seen, laid back, but being Persians their freaking hair is a nightmare. They jump up on the counter, coffee table, couches, toilet, dresser, they are freaking everywhere, and their bowel and urinary movements smell a lot worse than a dogs. I do have a queensland/australian shepard mix dog that loves to chase them which I find to be entertaining. And when these house cats do break out of the house I just tell the dog to "get the kitty", and she herds them right back to the door. At least the dog provides some security, especially when I'm out of town and the wife is at home, I've got some confidence that any intruder will be met with one hell of a problem if he tries to break in. On top of that you can take your dog fishing which is always entertaining. Maybe I just like dogs better than people, they are definitely tempered better than most people. If you can convince my wife Delw you can have both cats free of charge, LOL!
