My parents have had a couple cats that live/lived 17 years or so. Hang in there for a couple more years.

 

01 XLT is for hire to liquidate all cats. Contact him via AOL IM @ KATKILLERRENYOLDS

 

I am still homeless and am reduced to living at my BF's house till mine is done. His next door neighbor has the most annoying yippy dog. Whenever the wind blows it goes: Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! in a REALLY HIGH pitched bark. That SOB makes me dream of doing things that only 01 would do to cats, and I love all animals except yippy dogs. I mean you can be fast asleep, and when that thing starts barking, you'll jump right outa your skin! I cuss at it, threaten it, think about paintballing it red ect. I used to hear it on the phone when I called my BF, and thought GEEEEEEEEEZ, how do you stand it? The owners never did anything about it untill I got there. I told my BF "Watch this" I ran up to the fence, looked it in the eyes and growled at it, and it went running on to their back porch, tail between it's legs, still barking, but now it echoed loud enough to bother the owners, who would then bring it in the house! Eventually, the owners, wanting to leave it ouside, began to cuss at it, spray it with water, beat it ect. One day, I yelled at them to buy a barking collar, and they said they already tried it. I don't recomend yelling at it (almost as bad as the damn thing barking in the first place) or beating it like they do, but the water doesn't work, so I'd leave that collar on for awhile, and turn it up full blast just to make it sink in. They even added privacy panels to the fence in hopes that if the dog couldn't see us, it wouldn't bark. But of course they often have visitors at 10pm, and there it goes again. Besides it still knows if we come and go anyway, because it can hear us.
The thing is, if you want to keep a high strung dog like that in a city, you'd better do something about it before the neighbors do. The neighbors won't be as kind - if you know what I mean. Tell your wife either you use the collar or somebody else may come up with a solution she really won't like. (envision me bring over my german shepard and telling her "dinner is served" - no more noise, and I save the price of a days dog food)

 

Habibi, tell the wife the shock collars are fine and most vets reccomend them. The only other real alternative is to have the dog "De-Barked" with surgery. (The breeder where I bought my dog has all of hers de-barked)

I used a shock collar on my 12 puond Sheltie for 2 weeks it worked great and caused no harm.

They work like this, when the dog barks the collar will beep once when the dog barks again the collar will beep three times if the dog keeps barking "ZAAAAAP" so eventually the shocking will stop because once the dog hears that first beep it knows what is coming next so it wont bark!

My dog would bark until it got zapped then she would yelp when she got shocked which would cause her to get shocked again!! It was funny!! She learned very quickly not to bark!

You can also tell your wife that the collars are no different than those "Invisible Fence" set ups. And millions of people own those. When the dog gets close to underground cable "ZAAAAAP"

I freakin hate yappy dogs with a passion.

 

Andthensometoo:

If the water bottle don't work you can always try the 2 1/2" fire hose, I am telling you it WILL shut them up, a few hundred PSI in the butt, and no more yipping...

 

UPDATE:

Got the Super Soaker Deluxe at Target this morning. Head over to the local animal shelter. Big surprise, you got to answer this questionaire on why you want the animal, if you love the animal, if you every had an animal.........wtf..........They are goina gas the flea bags if nobody takes them in!

So I tell the lady that I wanted a cat for about a week to see if I like the animal..........they want to come to your home and see the enviroment that the pet will live in. At this point, I said forget it, Iam thinking it would be easier to adopt one on those chinese kids anyway............now that would be fun

 

Fast Gator you bring up an interesting point. Why in the hell do they need to know if your going to love the STUPID cat to begin with. Yes they will send little fluffy to the gas chamber if you don’t get it so WTF.

Did you hear on the news lately there is this NUT CASE group running around? Most like the PETA moron’s and they are TERRIBLE worried about the STUPID chickens that Kentucky Fried Chicken uses for “DOOH”, food.

Yes, these freaking morons are worried about the “live” chickens living conditions and how it is treated everyday while it waits to be KILLED AND EATEN…

It was funny as hell the other night on Fox. One of the news babes was interviewing one of these freaks and asked, “What does it matter the way the chicken lives since we are going to eat it?” moron boy just answers, “Because we should care” he thinks there should be cameras placed so the pins can be monitored and some kind of weekly or monthly check-ups done.

I am thinking this freak is a PETA health insurance nut case, check-ups? WTF is that about. I don’t want a chicken that was on a diet I want one that is BIG, FAT AND JUICY…

LMMFAO…
