How To Catch A Cat:

@cutemergency

Truth!

[Major Nikon]

1. Doesn't always work

[House of Roberts]

3. A box that tall should be horizontal.

It's important that the cat have the feeling of security for it to work.

[Logical]

2. Lounge crap! nt

[PCIntern]

4. "Lighten up, Francis." nt

[Logical]

5. Great movie. Still lounge crap. n-t

[tavalon]

50. It's the Holidays

Let's lighten up, just for a week or two. I found it amusing. I don't go to the Lounge as often as I should, for my heart and soul. Let's let some of the fun out of it's Lounge cage for just for a bit. We're going to be gearing up for the 2014 election season soon, so let's kick back for a few weeks. Congress is done doing nothing until they start back to doing nothing in the new year, so really, cats are more fun. Let's have fun like it's the end of the year before putting our fighting hats back on.

The only complaint I have is every time I see AreGritsGroceries is that I realize I desperately want grits and have forgotten to buy any. Nom, Nom, Nom the grits. I am glad to be gone from the south, but man, I love the grits. Why, oh, why does my mind go blank when I'm at the store?

7. Put me on ignore.

Then you won't have a stroke over a photo.

[Logical]

8. Yes, because posting 'lounge crap' means I had a stroke. Dramatic much? n-t

[chervilant]

22. Actually, AGG

I love your posts, and I certainly hope you will continue to give us more--just like n2doc with great toons, and SEC with Sundays LOLZ!

[liberal_at_heart]

48. I agree. It's nice to get away from the DU wars and see a few funny photos.

[niyad]

12. and yet, you opened it anyway.

[Logical]

15. Yes, and wonder why there is not a '24x7 cats' group on the DU. n-t

[niyad]

17. nothing requires that you read any of the cat posts, you know.

[niyad]

30. actually, one can look upon it as quite amusing.

[dixiegrrrrl]

35. snort*

[tavalon]

51. Because then some of us would demand a 24/7 dogs group

And you can see what a slippery slope that would be, right?

[Botany]

14. FYI

Wet Blanket
Someone who is generally in a negative frame of mind, sulks and ruins other peoples' fun.

[Logical]

16. You can have all the fun your want, in the lounge. Cats galore. Cats 24x7. Cats obsession. Etc. n-t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. isn't there a crab-ass forum

you should be hanging around in?


But sriesly, thank you for increasing the humor quotient here! .

[Logical]

23. You too! Crab ass. Good one! :-)

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. tee hee! I used that on a friend texting recently

With gratifying results.

I then blamed Shrimpy for getting hold of the phone. heh. Heh heh.

[darkangel218]

31. Do you dislike cats?

[Botany]

34. truth be told I'm not a cat person

BTW one of the main porpoises of DU is to have fun.

[passiveporcupine]

38. Porpoises

[Botany]

41. glad somebody liked it

Merry Christmas!

[nikto]

47. But what if your dog is a "cat dog"?

I bet your doggie would like a kittie for Christmas.

[tavalon]

52. Oh, I wish,

but I think we should take off the next two weeks or so and just have fun. 2014 is coming and GOTV and the inevitable infighting and the ongoing NSA/Snowdenpalooza. So, I say, bring on the cats and the dogs and even the iguana's if they can be amusing.

[Faux pas]

6. LOL

There's nothing like a box full of kitties! Thanks for the first smile of my day.

[Shrike47]

9. Laughed out loud. Thank you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. LOL!

(GD needs a little "lounge crap" once in awhile. Merry Christmas!)

[niyad]

11. snicker. . . .thanks for the grins!! especially that last pic!!

[fantase56]

13. Snork..... thanks a_g_g. works every time in our house

That works - 9 ot of 10 times indeed - but sometimes the cat just do not want to do it - and have no interest in a box....

And if they KNOW you are in a hurry to get the cat under control - they do the opposite of what you want them to do - and is fast on their feet - even if they have been sleeping for days and been calm as a clam...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. you raise a good point.

To increase the chances of cat-catching, you should probably announce loudly and repeatedly that there better not be any cats going anywhere near this box.

Put a priceless Ming Vase on top of it too, just to make sure.

[NastyRiffraff]

26. VERY good point, BlancheSplanchnik

Forbidding something to a cat is just an invitation to "assert its independence." The Ming vase is the whipped cream on the sundae to the cat.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

29. yes indeed. and a name like NastyRiffraff....

Is to me as catnip is to a cat.

[Diclotican]

32. BlancheSplanchnik

BlancheSplanchnik

That would do the trick - they often, or mostly do the opposite of what you want them to do - in that way they tend to be like a 4 year old who have an attitude

I do not own any Ming Vase to put on the top - but I do have a few tricks in my sleeve - to catch a cat, who have no interest to do as you want them to do.. After all - we are the smarter spieces aren't we ?

I haven't seen you post in a while but you've got a great post count and your English is getting better and better. Such an unnecessarily hard language we have.

Just wanted to say it's nice to see you posting and give you congratulations on getting better at English than I ever will with a second language.

Hello Tavalon - I have been here -but sometimes it is nothing for me to comment - many do the job better - or it is little to "american" for me to comment on - but even if I do not comment - I do read..

It is nice to read that my english is getting better - I do hope it is starting to improve over what I had - well it is like my english teatches said at high school - "practice, practice and then some practice, and you should se your english is starting to improve" And I have been used the language more than I have been doing for a long time - at least my written language have been improved - I suspect my spoken language still is not perfect - I do have a rather clear accent in my english...

The language is the result of tree different languages who have given a lot of their language into english you know - anglo-saxon - then a lot of Latin - and then - in the end even some normandie-french to boot - specially after the last onslaught from Normandie it is no way english could have been an easy language

Nice to know - that my english is getting better - I do have had a lot of practice here on DU to get the english better... But I do also use the "spelling check" often - so the worst is going away before submission..

Everyone can be better with an second language - as my teacher said to me - there I was fighting with english - "practice, practice and practice some more she said".. But english is one of the largest languages out there - so no need to learn a second language I guess..

19. That red tabby

looks like my dear departed Piggy.

[rdharma]

25. There's something about kittehs and their attraction to boxes that always makes me laugh!

And this.......

[longship]

27. More Lounge crap like this, please.

R&K

[rdharma]

33. It's Christmas, eh?

[tavalon]

54. Multiple laughs there

I'd seen that one before but it never gets old. That is one determined cat!

[MFM008]

36. happy christmas eve

I like cat stuff...all animal stuff.

[darkangel218]

37. +1

[passiveporcupine]

39. Why is it?

I need to take a cat to the vet. I place the cat carrier in a convenient place, with the door open, and a blanket inside. And a few cats always need to go in and check it out. Just never the one I want in there.

Maybe I need to make a cardboard fake front for the carrier?

[Raine]

40. LOL , that always brings mine around! :-) nt

[blkmusclmachine]

42. Bring a can of tuna or sardines. Always works for me.

[RoccoR5955]

44. Me too.

As a matter of fact, when someone says, "That's as hard as herding cats!" I tell them that herding cats is one of the simplest things in the world to do, and if they can't figure it out, they are the ones who have a problem!
Simply open a can of cat food, tuna, sardines, or such, and well any cat that has ever owned me, has been there when the can opener goes "click."

[JDPriestly]

43. File this under useful information. Thanks.

I think it is also a good way to catch a two-year-old human child. They love boxes (in my experience anyway).

[lonestarnot]

45. Fook'n cats always love a box. I've spent good money on cat trees and climbing objects, trees but

dee cats, dey luv de box.

[CrawlingChaos]

46. Or if all else fails, start your Xmas gift-wrapping

If you (try to) wrap it, they will come

[Spitfire of ATJ]

49. Thread should be renamed "How to catch a Logical".
