This was a good thread. Not @lazerus24's Boat Balloons, but seriously solid work.

Well, maybe if creepy cat had brought balloons . . .

See, this is WAY less creepy.

This is like my neighbor on Next Door demanded to know who owns the white cat the roams around and is he vaccinated because she lets her cats out and doesn't vaccinate and doesn't want them to catch anything. So yes there are anti-vax cat people, and I live with them.

So SHE doesn't vaccinate, but wants everyone else to?? And still lets her cats outside?? Is she also checking the rabies tags of all of the neighborhood raccoons?

In my experience, the more you're into a cat, the less they're into you. So I think next time you see him, you should throw him a huge cat party and like pet him real good. That should turn him off and he'll find some other neighborhood family to terrorize.

OOOh, I just remembered this. So, I have three cats, but these two are best friends:



And these are pillows I got for my kids for Christmas. I'm going to get actual cat collars and tags and put them on the pillows and give one to each of the kids. I cannot wait.

Bingo.  I live with loonies.  I was THIS close to asking if she was worried about vaccines making her cats autistic.

I'm just here for the gifs.

I just spent $300 on insulin for my cat, so clearly I have no advice on repelling them.

This was my favorite GBCN post in months, though.

TERRIFIED

I don't "go here" either, but this thread made my day.  This gif is exactly how my cat treats guests who hate cats, LOL!

Cats are such assholes, they seek out people who hate them and do this crap.

Yep. DH is allergic to my cat and hates her SO DAMN MUCH. If he falls asleep on the couch, she IMMEDIATELY comes out of her hiding spot and rubs against his legs until he starts to stir. Then she runs away like she's on fire.

[sharknado]

I hate my own cat, does that count?
He isn't really an asshole, he just thinks he needs loving at 3am.

My cat literally looks like this when you pick him up. He is ridiculously large.

So you would rather poison a cat (and possibly other animals) than deal with your kids' irrational fear? Sounds great.

Pssst...she never said that...that was someone else.

We have a ballsy neighborhood cat as well (looks like it might have Maine Coon, but very tiny for just that breed); it's neat enough that I think it belongs to someone but it is pretty tiny. This cat keeps trying to get into our garage several times a week (and we have to chase it back out, and make sure it's not under a car before we drive out). It also ended up in our neighbor's house across the street through their dog door and was caught eating the dog's food; dog did not pay any attention. Cats, man.

(FWIW, I'd love to adopt this one but I do treasure my marriage, and know our current cat would be miserable if another animal invaded her space).

Except to scare them with a cage.

/flameful

/but very effective

Most people I know that use a cage then kill them or take them to a shelter. Catch and release isn't flameful! People shouldn't let their cats outside anyways.

Um... What the fuck?  Most people you know catch and kill outdoor cats?  How do they kill them?  How do you know this?  Why do you associate with psychopaths?

I keep seeing the title of this post and laughing all over again.

I think this guy was 30+ lbs.  He was a local rescue and I saved the picture because it always makes me LOL.  The face!

Wait a second, that is an actual picture you took? Not just stolen form the internet! Awesome!!

Not based on her post "or take them to the shelter."

My old cat was like this. "oh, you're allergic? let me sit right here on your lap. let's cuddle. pet me." But, he completely ignored anyone who liked cats. I loved that asshole.

How much does he weigh? I love my ginormous puddle of a cat.

I keep trying to do work and then I suddenly picture wedging a chair under a door to keep out an overly friendly cat and I just die.
