Pussy Control Issues

[Cave Johnson]

After a good long dating career, I may have had my last piece of strange. Met a girl at a SB party who's a solid 8.5 (minimum), younger, fun, educated, good job, same values, etc. She's on a 6 month lease, which creates some implications for moving in down the road.

The problem is her cat, pictured below. It was an ill advised gift from an ex (who I'd now like to kick in the balls). Apparently he's destructive, neurotic, eats uncontrollably, and emphatically does not like my dog. This is not my dog's fault, who's pretty mellow and enjoys licking/humping cats. She's attached to it and feels guilty for leaving said cat alone. Which is the natural and empathetic reaction of a well-adjusted person, but it cuts into certain activities and is generally problematic.

So, any advice you can give on dog/cat acclimation or dealing with a psycho cat in general (other than antifreeze) would be very much appreciated.

Also, as a bonus, it gives you an excuse to buy her and the cat something simple and she will probably love buying clothes for it.

Now we're talking. I've used a Thundershirt on a hyper Frenchie, didn't know it would also work on a cat.

It will work like a charm. Especially, for those "close times" you need to spend together.

I have been using a Royals or Chiefs jersey on my cat ever since I got him as a kitten 2 and a half years ago. I initially did it to keep him from driving me nuts at night. It worked instantly and he sleeps all through the night with no disruptions ever. At this point it is with or without the shirt.

And actually, I have even began seeing special cat shirts/trainers in the stores designed specifically for cat training that they are supposed to wear to improve behavior. I have no doubt they work but it is basically just a fancy looking shirt.

Yeah. Buy pet clothing. Dress up the cat.

Finally someone is talking some sense here.....

The cat is not getting enough exercise/stimulation. Cats like to hunt and pounce and if they don't have anything for them to release that energy on then they'll **** shit up. 'til the cat mellows out the dog will probably be hated.

Oh and if you start being it's "provider" by feeding it expect it to come to you whenever it thinks it's hungry, even if it has food or it's the middle of the night.

Why not keep it in the pet carrier/kennel part of the time?

Shoot with a super soaker any time it gets near the dog.

The cat is secretly shitting in your potted plants, BTW.

Dumbass. They got 9 lives. Only way he'll be safe is if the bastard already used up 7.

You people are MEAN.

It's just a pussy.

Live and let live.

If you don't like the cat then find a girl that likes doggies.
