So, I'm abit different from a lot of guys. Pretty normal but I dislike dogs and love cats.

I only have one at this point in time but he means the world to me.

This is Jack, the cat who thinks he is part dog, part cat, part human.

So, this guy, he is odd, comes when I whistle. Sits when I say sit. He chases me and plays tag. Is very loving.. in some way's too loving in which i have to ignore him sometimes and everytime i do i feel so bad that i end up giving him attention anyways.

My ex g/f said i was obsessed with my cat, well he really never liked her and tbh it always bothered me. But it could factor into one of the reasons why she is an ex, plus she had a dog and although her dog loved me. I didnt really like it (i really just dont like dogs)

Jack is a meower, he meow's.. Constantly. If he is not sleeping or in my lap or near me he is meowing. Nothing is wrong, he has been vet checked and his teeth are fine etc. He is just a very very needy cat and although I try to give him the attention he needs i cant always be home for him, so when I am home, he is on me like white on rice.

Although some will say that I allow him to get away with too much - he is allowed on counters, is allowed to go and do anything he wants as long as it is in the house, he oddly will even get in the shower and sit where the water barely touches him when I'm in the shower. He sleeps right next to me, and oddly has to have his paw on my hand, neck or somewhere close to my face or he wont settle down at night. He grooms my hair which i let him do, he hugs and loves to be held. He talks - not really talks but if you talk to him he responds or if he's meowing and you ask him what he shuts up and ask to get picked up by standing up.

I dunno, he is definately the weirdest but most loving cat i've ever owned. Definitely my best friend and sometimes, i look forward to coming home to my cat so we can hang out, as i read a book, play games etc.

I dunno, maybe I am obsessed. Is it such a bad thing?

Anyways, thats jack, hope u guys like him. He's my lil buddy.

Welcome!

Jack sounds wonderful - love the last picture of Big Foot.

My Cleo is the same way at bedtime, she has to knead a very specific part of my arm for about 5 minutes, purrs like a panther, then likes to curl up next to me on my pillow with her paws on my face or neck.

I wish Cleo would play like Jack, though. He sounds like a constant source of entertainment - and love.

Hi, Welcome to you and Jack!

Jack sounds like one cool cat! He also sounds like he's very bonded to you, and that you two have a great relationship!

We have a young cat, just a little over a year old, and we are finding that the more we listen to and try to understand our Gracie, the more rich and fun our relationship with her gets -- making up games, talking, sitting around, each family member has a different bond with her. Cats are great 8) !

Hope you enjoy the forum...

Jack is a handsome rascal! You are not obsessed, you just know your kitty! My sweetheart was not a cat person until she met Duchess. Now she loves to hold and snuggle with Duchess and Duchess loves my G/F. I'm the one getting jealous!!! (not really)

I can't believe he let you brush his teeth!

You're in good company when it comes to people who are obsessed with their cats, so never feel the need to explain. :D It sounds like Jack is a real sweetie. I could really relate to what you said about him going wherever he pleases, and that he needs a lot of attention. Murphy is just the same way.

Hey now.. no dog hate. You just have to find the right dog. ;) :p

Jack is adorable! And as far as his training goes, sounds like you're doing it right. He looks very happy.
I've experienced enough dogs to know I dont like them. They stink, they slobber, they are too big and a huge nuisance. Even lil yappers drive me insane.

I dunno, i guess i'm just a cat guy.

Thanks for all the comments guys, i''ll try to take some new photos soon, and with a better camera. Ever since I switched his diet even if it was less then a week ago I am already noticing improvement in his coat and overall attitude.

My dogs don't stink, they don't slobber, they are never are yappers and they don't even bother the neighbors at all. In fact any one who does not like dogs always fall in love with mine ;)

It's all about the owners in how they control their dogs, not the dogs fault :).

I understand where you're coming from though, i was more of a dog person and didn't like cats, my husband liked cats and were O.K. with dogs but not very much. After awhile i just fell in love with cats and so did my husband towards dogs. Nowwe have 2 dogs and 2 kitties living in harmony ( most of the time) LOL :)

I have yet to come across a dog that was extremely calm, mild and did not require a large amount of my time.

Although my cat is quite needy dogs i have been around have been much more handfuls then 20 Jacks could be.

My ex had a dog and it was the so stupid. Not saying that all dogs are stupid of course, but hers just drove me insane.

Cats keep me calm :)
