Cats are starting to creep me out.

There are two that hang out in our backyard. I like to talk to them, but while I'm talking to them, they try to freaking break into the backdoor. It's freaking me out. Do cats always do that?

Cats usually don't like to go into a strange house. Maybe they smell good food in your house.

Unless it's frozen pizza. And there usually isn't any of that around when they do it.

Cats are diabolical.

window screens. She would lunge at the window screens and just hang there. She tried to get in the house every chance she got. She turned out to be a stray - or rather a cat someone had dumped. She just wanted to get her old life of household comfort back.
She did.
She lives with me and my other cat now. She gets the master bedroom and deck when she is not in the yard. She turned out to be the funniest cat I have ever had.
Kitties are very smart!

Dogs suck

Most pets suck

And Cats usually do too...but since I got bit a few weeks ago, I've just been creeped out by them.

Could this cat be a stray who is looking for the comfort of a home?
You mentioned a cat bit you. Did you try to pick it up? Some cats absolutely hate to be picked up. If you were trying to pet it, could you have touched a spot that is sore or hurts? Some stray cats do pick up injuries, you know.
If you are interested in finding out whether this cat is adoptable, why don't you put out a little food at a time when you can observe it and sit with it?

So, it's gonna be a no on the adoption front. The cats are beautiful, but damn, ever since the one tried to break into my room the other night, I'm freaked out.

I snatched them as kittens from the side of the road and forced them to live with me and my pack of dogs (6 of them!)



I keep a 24/7 guard on them.

Wasting my breath.

to tell you to kill them.

:popcorn:

Killing is never an option when it comes to animals who aren't sick.

I'm getting a bit tired of it.

loopy from the cat hater threads of weeks past.

It was a bad thang.

....last Summer.

If not, do these cats have homes? Try to find out. If not, they probably want one.

It was my stupid fault. And I'm sure they do want homes, but I can't give them homes. ANYONE LIVE IN OKLAHOMA WHO WANTS TWO CATS?!
Duckie

You might want to get that bite checked out, too, unless it was just a nip.

Poor cats. We domesticated them, made them dependent, and now we treat them like rats.

But you also have to understand, we live in the country, so they aren't hurting for food, or people to give them food.

It's probably what has already been mentioned. They're strays or have otherwise experienced a "change of lifestyle" that once included a home.

My cat showed up on my mother's doorstep one day, literally screaming. It was the most gawdawful yeowllling I'd ever heard from a cat that wasn't injured. When she'd open the door, he'd streak from wherever he was and try to get inside.

She told me about it but couldn't take him in because she has too many animals already. Since I was thinking about looking for a feline friend to adopt me, I told her to bring him up to see me if he'd allow her to get him. He did, and he is at this moment trying to taunt me into playing with him. Very friendly and gentle cat, but he's also very forceful with his opinion, and he demands play-time. If I am being too lazy, he'll let me know it eventually by nipping at my ankles until a pull out the stick with the stuffed mouse on the end.

He's quite the talker ... never fails to let you know something is on his mind. When he was hanging out in front of Mom's house, it was almost like he knew she was cat friendly and would help him find a home, so he made sure she noticed.

they're probably abandoned housecats. Maybe you can pawn 'em off on a friend. That's how I got all of mine. :)
