Are cat threads a threat to DU?

[Botany]

And if so shouldn't we all be outraged at all these feline interlopers into the
sanctity of DU?

[Shrike47]

1. Cat threads are why I get up in the morning. Must have cat threads...

[Kurovski]

34. Cat thread addiction costs the economy 1.5 billion dollars in lost productivity.

Er, I mean So sad!

[Drale]

2. Cats are a threat to all mankind!

[madinmaryland]

20. Two. There is a bigger black cat (Sonia) in the back, and the kitten (Lucy) in front

upside down and surrendering.

[antiquie]

29. Good, not one huge, oldly marked kitcat.

[pintobean]

5. They keep me in stitches. /nt

60. Your kitty looks just like my kitty...

[Aerows]

64. I love the kitty

with it's head rested on a toy fish sleeping in a fish stick box . Too cute!

[countryjake]

67. Our cats love it when the Costco shopping comes thru the door...

my man always specifically chooses "cat appropriate" boxes to carry home all of our stuff and they have a ball with them.

That kitty is Skagit, a former feral, who took me three months just to even get within forty feet of her. She's at least fifteen yrs old, was an adult when we moved to this property and a real wild animal (I've got the scars to prove that!). Now she's our old sweetie cat, partial to pillows, ha!

[Aerows]

68. I have a former feral, too

They are sweet as pie once they realize that you love them as much as you love them Mine is piled up in the bed. I'd say mine, but we both know that it's not exclusively mine anymore when the cat takes over the foot of it. At least my feet never get cold. She's gorgeous.

[countryjake]

69. We have another one who also came from our woods...

also, age unknown, and she was mortal enemies with Skagit, before I brought them in. They used to have all-out cat wars in that woods!

Going to sleep at night around here is still a risky business; one never knows if we're gonna wake up with our eyeballs scratched out of our heads. But that is why Skagit prefers pillows...Phoebe has our feet.

Both are old dears, tho, and nearing the sunset of their lives, winding way down.

[NaturalHigh]

66. That looks like my mom's Kit Cat.

[countryjake]

70. Nothin' nicer than sharing life with a good old black kitty...

11. My beautiful kitty wants to say hello!

My beautiful kitty, sadly now deceased, still wants to say hello. He was my 7x24 companion for years, very special, and he loved DU!

13. Please excuse that post. That was Snowball typing something

but I don't know exactly what he meant to say. I think it had something to do with tuna fish.

[treestar]

15. lol

[lumberjack_jeff]

14. Grumpy cat sez

They are the firmament that binds us together. They appear to be the only thing we can agree upon.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

16. The T sez no...

well, he would if he could stay awake long enough.

Meow-y Christmas!

[MoonRiver]

17. Cats are a threat to this little guy

grands, not so much!

[Kurovski]

35. Steer clear of Phil Robertson, too!

I've just stolen that picture.

[RKP5637]

22. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, that is so classic, kitties after decorations. Mine use to

want to climb the garland!

[sharp_stick]

19. Only if they're checking out

the lady cats. That really pisses off some people.

[packman]

21. Cats project a certain

aura that wards off the seriousness of the world. Their abilities include an indifference to you, yet a deference to you. A detachment from the world, yet an awareness of it. A clownishness of complete abandonment, yet a dignity of character that no human will ever achieve. A fierce independence, yet the need to be -at times- annoyingly on your laptop, on your freshly washed clothes, and in your heart. Dogs welcome and rejoice that you are part of their lives, cats just know you are part of theirs and close a circle - to them it's a given that you and yours belong to them.

[freshwest]

50. Excellent post. Fortunately, they share:

[shenmue]

23. Kittehs are win

We can't give too much space to the crazy arguments. Let's just enjoy something once in a while.

[Jesus Malverde]

24. presents..

[enough]

30. Excellent wrap job, masterful technique. (nt)

[LadyHawkAZ]

25. Demon kitteh says...

Bring it!

[countryjake]

61. This Demon kitty says, "Wake me when it's over"...

[get the red out]

26. My dog says yes

And she volunteers to chase any cats who appear in any threads.

[LWolf]

72. She obviously hasn't been schooled by the right cat.

My cats have always ruled over the dogs to one degree or another; I don't know why.

About 15 years ago, I had a formerly feral tom cat that I brought into the house and civilized. Sort of. One day a friend with a huge black lab stopped by. The cat attacked the dog with such aggression that I had to move him off with the broom. I locked him in the bedroom, where he continued to howl, hiss, growl, and throw himself against the door until the dog left. The poor thing was in terror. That friend didn't bring her dog back.

He didn't treat MY dog like that, but then, she was schooled about who was boss from early puppy hood.

That cat has passed; the current cat is bossy, but would probably take chasing as an invitation to play, and begin harassing the poor dog.

[catbyte]

27. Heck no, all of my felines are staunch Democrats, even Cranky Nigel!

[longship]

28. No, it's Cthulhu threads which are the ultimate threat.

Not sure if my cat is chanting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" while I sleep. I only hope that if my fears are true, maybe I'll be blessed by being one of the lucky humans to be Eaten first.

31. Feline Overlords Decree A Merry Christmas:

Who can deny them?

[sheshe2]

36. I sure can't deny them!

If they decree a Merry Christmas, then I bow to their infinite wisdom~

Too cute, freshwest~

Merry Christmas!

[freshwest]

39. And to you, too! Um, I feel a spate of cat pix coming soon...

Enjoy the day, sweets!

[sheshe2]

Hey freshwest!

[onestepforward]

32. Cats are an even bigger threat on DU at Christmas time...

Don't let those cute costumes fool you






Use caution when approaching a Christmas tree




and opening up presents!

[freshwest]

42. Major AWW Alert needed! Thanks, onestepforward, those are lovely kittehs!

But your kitten under the tree is sublime:

[matt819]

33. Cat threads?

What does it matter what threads cats wear? And I can't see their clothing choices posing a threat of any sort.

[Ratty]

37. Oh geez, who can resist a cat thread?

Must. Post. Kitty. Picture. Can't. Resist.

[freshwest]

43. Very well done! I'll see that yawn and raise you one:

[Ratty]

55. I fold

Touche sir. Well played. I see your card is the bengal of hearts. My sweet Cooper can't compete with such cuteness.

[Jamaal510]

38. I don't get how the cat threads

always get so many recs and are so popular;I know they're cute and whatever, but all they basically are are just pictures of cats. I've seen informative threads here (on a political forum) that hardly get any recs. I guess it's like how cat (and dog) videos on YouTube get so many views in comparison to lectures...

That's just my $0.02.

[freshwest]

44. I'll let the kittehs explain the psychological technique:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

40. Only if you try to bathe them.

[Gormy Cuss]

41. Ever notice how rare it is that Elad posts?

Cat paws don't offer the fine motor control to work a keyboard.

[freshwest]

45. That must be it! Or else he is otherwise engaged:

[winter is coming]

47. I've never felt the need to trash a cat thread.

In fact, it would probably be a good thing if GD broke out into a lolcat war, with various factions vying for cutest cat pics. I'd even welcome a puppy pic vs. cat pic war.

[Demo_Chris]

48. yes. nt

[MADem]

51. I know a few hep cats.

I'd rather read about them than some of the divisive and crazy bullshit I've seen on this board in the past few days.

I've never done the TRASH THREAD on a cat thread, but I sure have on other topics.

[Surya Gayatri]

52. Grumpy Cat has a relevant and succinct reply...

[meti57b]

54. LOL!!!

[Aerows]

57. Here are a few

[Turbineguy]

53. Wingnuts always talk about doing things for the grandchildren.

Like giving all the money to the rich and poisoning the environment.

[bench scientist]

56. best watch out for the feline interlopers!

[rug]

62. Yes.

[NaturalHigh]

63. I'll be in the cold, cold ground...

before I stop clicking on cat threads.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

65. +1

That goes for any animal thread really.

[MrMickeysMom]

71. DU needs MORE cat threads!

In fact, would somebody tell me how to make an animated gif of Mr. Mickey, before he gets too old? God, we need more of that!

BTW, Mr. Mickey's yearly physical today deems him fit to administrate over this!
