Why do people name cats?

What’s worse are the eco-pagans and the neo-pagans, who espouse their believe in animism (that all inanimate objects, as well as plants and animals have souls)

Mean Spirited & Inappropriate ! fftopic:

 

Actually its on topic and quite accurate recent scientific studies shown that 99.100% of all cats cause rectal cancer in humans and babies ( I of course set the difference between humans and babies because as time has proved babies are Monstrous mammals that suck up the worlds resources...Much like cats)

Much like babies, cats are an ever increasing fatal epidemic, The world is slowly setting into global warming and feeding the fires that support the anus inside al gore's mouth caused by the massive amounts of wastes produced by cats (and babies)
Throughout history it was also proven that cats influenced schizophrenia and mental disorders, Hitler owned an army of blonde haired blue eyed pussy's that nearly wiped out half of europe's mouse population and many polish children mistaken as mice(thier beedy little eyes)
It was also beleived that George W Bush himself is a giant pussy in disguise, while often debated the facts are there for you to see

Remember Only you can prevent the complete and total pussyfication of the planet....and stop al gore

 

My cat knows her name...and she responds to it. Cats do know their names, they just don't always think you are worth acknowledging. You are, after all, only an employee...

 

actually in one of the midwestern states, they were trying to pass a law which would put an open season on cats, because they were so destructive to the native bird population. Cats kill for the sake of killing, not just to eat. And there were so many strays there that it was getting out of hand. I don't know if the law ever passed, but I make sure the population around here stays under control.

 

you cant probably just recognises your voice, and associates your voice with food. it don't understand what you are saying, or your intentions beyond your inflection. cats just don't respond to verbal ques.

because people respond when you call their names. Cats kinda look at you like "why are you making such a racket directed towards me, puny human."

and cats are a giant ecological disaster. they are an alien species with few if any natural predators. they are prodigious hunters, and if any one has ever had a litter of kittens knows that they get just about everywhere. they also fuck like there is no tommorrow.
in some rural areas up to 90% of the local cat population is feral.
in most areas 80% of cats are allowed unfettered access to the outside world.
so please, spay and neuter your cats, and don't name them, they aren't human.

 

Why not name them? We name things all the time that aren't human; it's one of the ways we evolved beasts make sense of the world.

 

seriously? why do you care? you dont have to name your cats if you dont want to but i will give my cat a thousand names if i want... psh.

 

"probably"?

How much research have you actually done, other than decide that you don't like cats?

 

my cats come when they're called. they also play fetch, catch & kill rodents and keep our feet warm at night. they're awesome. they love to go for walks with us and don't even need a lease. i like my cats a lot better than i like most people.

 

and, honestly, as much as i love dogs, they aren't much better. they're pets.

but i agree, all pets should be spayed or neutered. i can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T spay or neuter their pets, unless they were purebred show animals, i guess. but they're never allowed to just wander or anything.

 

I think we should also give them royal titles..

 

i'd call my next cat eugene, but my poor cat would probably get picked on & beat up on by all the other cats.

 

Eugene is almost as bad as Poindexter.

 

pointdexter is an excellent name for a rottweiler.

 

my cats come when they are called and they have have ran to me to often when I call out there name and no when I'm just rising my voice or calling out to my partner, to think that they don't recognise their name

I imagine a cat that is not fed daily would eat its kills, when a cat brings you its kill, it is to thank you for all the IAMS and what have you.

 

yup.
