Most "cat owners" don't really own cats either, they just feed some feral animals. Real cat owners are at a much higher level than them, and their cats reach their full lifespan of 20 years.

and that's just indoor cats
outdoor cats are a blight on human society

>>no relationship beyond asking for food
nocats detected. If you spend time with an animal it bonds with you. My current cat is the most affectionate animal ive ever owned.
Cats are hideous. Rats are MUCH MUCH cuter. I would rather have cat sized rats than cats of any size. Birds too. Why not have domesticated outdoor eagles? Cats suck.
I like cats but it's extremely difficult to articulate (in a way they'll understand) to boomers and normalfags why outdoor cats are destructive and irresponsible.
I don't like cats because they just don't seem smart enough to me to warrant the type of affection as pets that they get. They also don't seem to bond with the same closeness dogs do, at least not to me. I wish cat people well in their relationships with their cats but I personally don't like them.
Unfortunately you have a cat, which does not kill enough vermin to reduce their population or even stop it from getting larger. Some dumb pagans still worshipped them so maybe you can pray the cat casts some spells.
i don't have a cat, check you telepathy device.
But when i had visited my granny in the countryside, cat was working just fine, no mice in the house. Yeah it casts spell called smell which is enough for them to fuck off in most cases.
The smell thing wears off in a few weeks. The mouse population remains steady but they get sneakier, so even though you think they’re gone, fumigation or traps will prove otherwise.
You can see why retarded egyptians used to worship cats. You can also see why they don’t anymore.
egiptians would worship anything alive, they had holy crocodiles in the temple terrariums, hardly because of crocodile antipest skills
as i said, mypractical experience shows that cat contain them well enough

Lmao. Listen. Mice are fucking filthy. If you have them anywhere in your home, you have airborne diseases and rotting corpses in the walls turning into toxic mold. All in an enclosed space with little airflow and biological turnover. On top of that, you have a cat that pisses and shit sin a box of dirt, stirs around the piss-shit dirt with its furry little paws, and then walks around for hours before it finally decides to lick its paws clean of piss and shit. But at least the cat made them hide in the walls in the daytime right?
All of this is totally optional. You can get rid of mice entirely and never have another one, and the only way that works is NOT a cat. It's a months long campaign of poisoning, trap setting, cleaning, and patching that extends to outside of your home as well. Shit like not having a single plant or bush within 10 feet of your foundation. You can also get rid of the cat. That can be accomplished in a 30 minute drive to the humane society.
There is "the world is a little dirty" and then there is living in a zoo with two animals that are basically vermin and are only truly clean if kept in cages. Cat people are like dog owners who let their animals lick them or know their dog rolls in/eats gross shit and let it keep doing it AND even let them indoors. Or worse, "puppy pad" users (dogs that piss and shit indoors).

so most dog owners who aren't collie husbands then
normie dog owners are disgusting. their yards are nothing but shit. their dogs are mentally ill and malnourished. they eat shit. their dogs roll in shit. their dogs are in these yards 8 hours while they're at work barking at everything. and if you visit them, their dog that smells like shit from eating and rolling in shit decides it's going to climb up on you and lick your face, because being in a home that literally smells like a literal turd is not bad enough for you.
when you visit an intelligent person who keeps an intelligent dog like a colie/husky/shepherd it's like they own a different species entirely. their yard isn't full of shit, their dog doesn't smell like shit (but dog breath smells a bit like dick if it doesn't smell like shit), and they don't tackle you and force their tongue up your nose. then again, humans have the same amount of variation, between the average asian's home (very clean and organized, everything and everyone is very polite) and trailer trash (pile of garbage full of rats and cats with a filthy dog barking at everything that comes within 1 mile).

A stupid dog would not learn or obey at all ie: greyhound. A husky learns, but does not obey unless you have food they really want. That is still a smart dog, even if it's not a perfect slave. They've of average or above average intelligence like 99% of large breeds but lacking disordered dumbassery like labs (will eat glass mixed with nails for fun).

I have a picture of jesus and no mice.
Jesus pictures repel mice. It's not because the mice just can't get into my house or anything. Catfag logic. If you had a mouse problem a cat would do NOTHING about it. At the most a cat could nip one in the bud when it was 2 or 3 adult mice. If you were lucky (domestic cats are quite retarded. their hunt success rate is 60% lower than their wild ancestors.) and the mice were not acclimated to cats already. But so could a bucket with a tube with peanut butter on it. And buckets don't shit and piss in a box and then walk all over my house. And they are more effective at killing mice than any animal.

Cats temporarily repel mice for like, two months, granted the mice aren't already used to cats. Mice that are adapted to cats mate more aggressively and hide more. It's a fact.
Cats don't control pests. Need I remind you that cats are so fucking bad at controlling pests that ratting terriers were bred for the express purpose of accomplishing what hordes of barn cats could not? It seems you have not read the first link at all either, just the headline. The first page contains an example of your exact brand of foolishness.
>I SWEAR, THERE ARE NO RODENTS, HAVENT SEEN ANY SIGNS OF EM, AND I GOT A CAT. >The captain insisted there would be no rats, due to the services of “an exceptionally good cat.” The quarantine officer insisted on fumigation anyway and the captain forgot to remove the cat ahead of time. The following picture is the result. >The SS Ethelhilda had rats in every portion of it. The photograph shows only what was found in the cabin itself: 1 cat, 24 rats that had lived along side it through the journey. The quarantine officer was good to stick to protocol, in the face of nonscientific assertions from the public that are still very familiar today.

So many people have observed that effect but they were wrong
"No rats in the cabin, I got a cat. Nope. Not one sign of rats. Cats work." >24 rats found in the cabin following fumigation
Cats are fucking useless. Keep them as pets but stop treating them like disposable rat traps, because in over 10,000 years of domestication they have done NOTHING. A fucking bucket will kill at ten times the rate of a cat, which can't even repel mice for a day if the mice already acclimated to other cats. All it can do is make them sneak around. And stop making the rest of us put up with your cat because you didn't want to take care of a pet. Did you know even neutered toms will roam, fight, and mark territory? They will even attack better mannered cats that don't roam outside their backyard. You take an animal that could be fine really and make it into a verminous pest because you're such a retard you think cats get rid of rodents, which has not been true for even one day in human history. The incompetence of cats spurred the development of dog breeds and higher technology. If cats worked, we would not need poisons, or expensive traps that need cleared, cleaned, and re-set, or terriers that need trained. We would just get cheap, widely available cats and they would get rid of all the rodents forever.
But. They. Fucking. Don't.
Cats are pets for entertainment and cuddling. Keep them indoors and take good care of them.

never i have stated they completely kill mice out
and i have not talked about the rats at all
You claimed that cats were useful somehow. They are not. They are entirely fanciful emotional support animals. And yet they are treated like disposable rat traps.
This is why people hate cats anon. Because of cat people.
>CATS R USEFUL!!!
>*makes cat someone elses problem*
>*cat dies*
>I GET NEW CAT LOL.
>things accomplished: 1 cat died. several rats annoyed. mice felt kind of anxious.
>They are not.
yea let's just dismiss the observed effect
because anxious mice will stay in the house anyway, not go anywhere else, no
because the SCIENCE HAS SETTLED
because they did the study on an arctic island full or birds and their chicks unable to fly
if cats does not help with mice in this condition, they don't help at all.
So many people have observed that effect but they were wrong
"No rats in the cabin, I got a cat. Nope. Not one sign of rats. Cats work."
>24 rats found in the cabin following fumigation
Cats are fucking useless. Keep them as pets but stop treating them like disposable rat traps, because in over 10,000 years of domestication they have done NOTHING. A fucking bucket will kill at ten times the rate of a cat, which can't even repel mice for a day if the mice already acclimated to other cats. All it can do is make them sneak around. And stop making the rest of us put up with your cat because you didn't want to take care of a pet. Did you know even neutered toms will roam, fight, and mark territory? They will even attack better mannered cats that don't roam outside their backyard. You take an animal that could be fine really and make it into a verminous pest because you're such a retard you think cats get rid of rodents, which has not been true for even one day in human history. The incompetence of cats spurred the development of dog breeds and higher technology. If cats worked, we would not need poisons, or expensive traps that need cleared, cleaned, and re-set, or terriers that need trained. We would just get cheap, widely available cats and they would get rid of all the rodents forever.
But. They. Fucking. Don't.
Cats are pets for entertainment and cuddling. Keep them indoors and take good care of them.
>No rats in the cabin, I got a cat. Nope. Not one sign of rats. Cats work.
please point me out where i claim anything about rats. Voices in your head doesn't count.
>And stop making the rest of us put up with your cat because you didn't want to take care of a pet
or else you are going to cry?
You ever clean up a week old poisoned cat corpse that’s been melting in a gutter? The smell will definitely make you cry. Keep your useless pet inside.
>The smell will definitely make you cry.
somehow i have never did it and i have never ever heard about such cases
Please don't cite some studies about correlation of smells and tear gland secretion. Please.
Seething
Cats like most dogs serve no purpose but companionship. If you dont keep them indoors you should be charged with animal abuse and being a public nuisance.
>Seething
Sorry to hear it. Have you been dilating regularly?
>If you dont keep them indoors you should be charged with animal abuse and being a public nuisance
well, the thing is, i shouldn't and i won't
and hardly anyone here thinks outdoor cat are nuisance

Two months. Cat smell only works for two months.

The the mice adapt and breed more aggressively.
catfags:
>omg cats literally dont smell at all!!! wtf you must not know anything about litterbox hygiene if you think cats smell

>the mere passive smell of cat is enough to keep even the boldest of rodents at bay

You do know mice piss all over your house and it smells horrible, right?

Cute little fella. I'll still squash him if he goes in my pantry though.
They're noisy at night and chew through my internet cables.
