Wanted:  A good home for a bad cat!



Skittle McGee is his name.  He was born on June 6, 2010.  He was a rescue cat because his momma didn’t want him.  She kept dropping him in the mud and leaving him there.  She must have known that he would lead a life of crime and destruction!

RAP SHEET:

He has been jailed several times for abuse of humans.
Skittles McGee
Notice he comes in prison stripes already!

He steals headbands, socks and fluffy dog toys twice his size.

He uses my poor older dog as a springboard.

He eats dog food, the dry kind!  For Pete's sake, it's too big for his mouth!
The dog knows what's goin' on!

He has broken lamps, flower pots, and various and sundry other items that find themselves in his way.

He doesn’t like things on the kitchen table so he runs a frequent inspection.  If anything is on the table, OFF it goes, on to the floor!

He creates disturbances in the early morning, demanding love and attention despite his evil ways!
Here he is attempting kitty-cat mind control!

He’s an ankle snatcher, elbow nipper, leg climber, curtain climber and ear sniffer, all without a permit.

He leaps and bounds in a no leaping nor bounding area!

He is a stealth, ninja kitty, we never know where he hides.  And he attacks at any moment, day or night.  We live in fear!

He’s a book flinging, rubber band chasing, dog tail grabbing adolescent kitty feeding his horrid addiction on catnip.

He terrorizes little, tiny, helpless parakeets!

He's been known to send private messages to my friends using MY computer!!

He's an unraveller of toilet paper rolls, too!

You can tell he's evil just by looking at this nighttime infrared photo.  Look at the eyes!

 


(Ok, I’m not really getting rid of him, we love him, but I AM hoping he reads this!)

Very cute photo essay!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:09pm UTC
Thanks, Debbie!
Ms Lee P. Apr 24, 2011, 5:40pm UTC
Ah hahahahaha! I had a cat that looked that your cat once long ago. His name was "Killer". I almost put up a sign that read "Beware of Killer cat"! Your kitty cat is adorable, great photo essay.
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:11pm UTC
Beware of Killer cat would have been awesome!
Lynn P. Apr 25, 2011, 4:24am UTC
After one of my friends lost a game of tease-the-cat-with-my-finger-but-try-to-pull-it-away-quick-enough with my cat, he dubbed him "The Black Assassin." The Black Assassin's mother came from Texas and was a gray striped tabby. Any relationship to Killer? lol
Tropica G. Apr 24, 2011, 5:40pm UTC
Oh my gosh that was so cute, have to LOVE a cat like that :)
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:13pm UTC
Done! Send me your address! (not really, he's been granted a reprieve!)
Pamela Marks Apr 24, 2011, 5:48pm UTC
cute pictures, the cat looks innocent.
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:13pm UTC
Oh how looks can deceive! :)
Ann K. Apr 24, 2011, 5:56pm UTC
Great essay! Very funny!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:14pm UTC
LOL! Thanks, Ann! :)
Cindy B. Apr 24, 2011, 6:04pm UTC
Let's do some horse trading! One potty trained hubby, for the evil kitty! =) I will even throw in a case of beer!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:15pm UTC
Hey! I already know the hubby is evil, whatchu tryin' to pull here?

A case of beer, huh?

:)
mary v. Apr 24, 2011, 6:26pm UTC
LOL, this is really funny.
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:15pm UTC
Thanks, Tina! :)
mary v. Apr 24, 2011, 9:18pm UTC
Your welcome.
dee b. Apr 24, 2011, 6:33pm UTC
Enjoyable read. Gotta love them no matter what lol!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:16pm UTC
Ain't that the truth? Just like kids!
JOHN BECK Apr 24, 2011, 6:59pm UTC
Now I know why I'm a "dog person". (However I do get along just fine with cats.)
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:18pm UTC
So I'll take it you aren't interested in adopting my bad cat? LOL! That's ok, it's better than the Comedy Channel sometimes!
Janet H. Apr 24, 2011, 7:03pm UTC
We have a very, very naughty cat that likes to pee behind our hot water heater and other inappropriate places. He has been up for adoption for some time but no takers yet.
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:19pm UTC
Oh, Janet, I'm so sorry! That must be frustrating and I'll bet that's concrete behind the water heater, isn't it? So the pee just soaks right in!
Lynn P. Apr 25, 2011, 4:26am UTC
If it bothers you, take pity on the HVAC mechanic. lol

Hubby used to be an HVAC mechanic, so I've heard stories. ;)
Sandy Moore Apr 24, 2011, 7:29pm UTC
Cute. Good luck with him reading this.
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:23pm UTC
Hi Sandy! Hey, he could, he's used my computer before!
Sandy Moore Apr 24, 2011, 9:37pm UTC
HaHa Maybe you should read it to him.
John Doyle Apr 24, 2011, 8:20pm UTC
Has he been altered? tjis usually calms them down
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:24pm UTC
Yep, since he was a rescue cat, it was required that he would be neutered (though I would have done it anyway). I figured it was youthful exuberance!
Lynn P. Apr 25, 2011, 4:27am UTC
Whew! Think what he'd be like if he wasn't neutered. ;)
Darren ( L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:04pm UTC
Cat-nippers are the worst kind
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:26pm UTC
Oh man, it's horrible! He invites his catnippy friends over and they leave their boots and leather jackets with chains all over the place. Most of them just drive through the yard on their little kitty motorcycles. I'm fed up with it all!
Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy Apr 24, 2011, 9:14pm UTC
Hilarious! A wonderful photo essay! :-)
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:27pm UTC
I thank you and my kitty thanks you! :)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 24, 2011, 9:21pm UTC
I LOVED this!

Hilarious!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 9:28pm UTC
Thank you, Aunt Shanny! :) (and thank you for the deviled egg recipe!)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Apr 25, 2011, 10:32am UTC
You are very welcome!
phil w. Apr 24, 2011, 10:59pm UTC
Cute essay , Cathi . this is obviously one ,bad puddy tat !!!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 11:23pm UTC
Oh sir, you haven't an inkling of the trials and tribulations I have gone through. Nobody's known the trouble I've seen! Why, I'm at my wit's end! We walk in fear throughout the house not knowing when the Ninja Cat will pounce! I haven't slept a wink in weeks! I'm about to take to the bottle! Where shall I go? What shall I do? (errrr...take care on your response here, sir!)
phil w. Apr 24, 2011, 11:36pm UTC
Thanks for the warning ,I'll fight the urge , NOT !!! Frankly my dear ,I don't give a damn !!! Boy that felt good to use that classic quote ! Thank you so much my lil' Confederate jasmine !
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 11:50pm UTC
I knew you'd do it anyway! :)
Thomas R. Apr 24, 2011, 11:35pm UTC
Very cute! Now will you bring back that wonderful cat icon you used to have? That photo is adorable. Although I always thing of you in terms like: Adorable, sweet, wonderful, beautiful, I could go on and on!
Cathi L. Apr 24, 2011, 11:51pm UTC
Oh, Thomas! I could just eat you up, you little weiner dog you! Huggles!!
Thomas R. Apr 24, 2011, 11:56pm UTC
Cathi with all the wonderful love and compassion in your heart, there aren't enough spoken words in the world to do you justice!
Cathi L. Apr 25, 2011, 2:09pm UTC
I wish there were more people like you in the world, Thomas. There would be a lot more happiness and far less hate, I'm certain of it!
david f. Apr 25, 2011, 12:32am UTC
he sounds exactly like . . . a cat : )

great pics
Lynn P. Apr 25, 2011, 4:29am UTC
That's what I thought. I seriously expected to read a story about a well-mannered cat, who loves to be around his owner all the time, was willing to chase his own tail just for the owner's amusement, and begs for treats. Or, I was expecting a "bad cat" to act like a dog. lol
Cathi L. Apr 25, 2011, 2:10pm UTC
Thank you, Mr. Fingerman, sir! He is, indeed, a cat, but he was raised by dogs. I don't think he knows exactly what he is yet! :)
david f. Apr 26, 2011, 12:04pm UTC
cats with dog characteristics are the best : )
Lynn P. Apr 25, 2011, 4:30am UTC
Seems normal to me, although I pity the poor dog. It's in his eyes. ;)
Cathi L. Apr 25, 2011, 2:11pm UTC
The dogs here are taken advantage of terribly. I think Skittles believes they are actually some of his very own play toys. :)
Lynn P. Apr 25, 2011, 2:29pm UTC
Skittles is correct. ;)
Hev L. Apr 25, 2011, 11:41am UTC
lol that is so cute
Cathi L. Apr 25, 2011, 2:12pm UTC
Thanks, Hev! :)
Laurie Bellesheim Apr 25, 2011, 2:47pm UTC
Love this - it was very funny :) My best friend has a cat EXACTLY like this & amazingly they look very much alike! Wonder if it's a breed thing or their possibly distantly related. Thanks for sharing this.
Cathi L. Apr 27, 2011, 11:21pm UTC
Aww, thanks, Laurie. Much appreciated! :)
Robin G. Apr 25, 2011, 4:41pm UTC
I think all cats are like this. They need spankings every now and again to keep em in line. Or maybe that was you...
Cathi L. Apr 27, 2011, 11:21pm UTC
I told my cat what you said. He immediately drew a line in the sand and asked me to tell you to try to cross it. He did say please. :)
Marian L Apr 25, 2011, 6:58pm UTC
He is a very handsome boy. It doesn't sound like he does anything really bad. He is just a young and energetic boy.
Cathi L. Apr 27, 2011, 11:22pm UTC
Nah, he's not really bad. Young and energetic fits him to a "t". But there's just so many unravelled toilet paper rolls one can stand in a week. sigh

Thanks for commenting! :)
Ah ha ha ha. If someone else had shown us and described this cat and asked us to guess who, on Gather, it belonged to, I would have said Cathi L. immediately :) :) :) Haven't you guys noticed ... look at their eyes ... there's just something there.
Cathi L. Apr 27, 2011, 11:24pm UTC
The devil you say? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I picked him specifically because he was so spunky. I figured any cat that had to deal with my hubby, two adult sons, and two big golden retrievers, had better be able to stand on his own feet, no matter how many feet he has! :)
Somebody here on Gather showed a picture of her 2nd cat with bad tales about him/her. When she put the picture up I couldn't believe it. It had the meanest look on it's face & hair standing our all over. Not in anger but he was just ??? different. She said his attitude was as bad as his looks. He was mean. I wanted it SO BAD! I don't know why but felt like I just had to have it. I wonder if I saved the picture to look at. I'm going to look.
PS I'm not even an animal person.
Cathi L. Apr 29, 2011, 10:36am UTC
I'd love to see it! :)
August Lady Jun 14, 2011, 4:02am UTC
HA~I wouldn't part with him either!
Janie E. Aug 29, 2011, 11:57pm UTC
LOL!!! Great laughs!!
