A typical evening feeding the cats

[dreamerstays]

Love cats , but a lot of them are ungrateful bastaR*s

[ilovemovie1968]

I think you are really brave, even though they are so wild, but would you give them water as well?

[supersetan2008]

they are beautiful

[connerjd]

Don't like people very much. Sometimes, I do not blame them.

[fulishproductions]

GOOD KITTIES!

[Paxmax]

FIERCE!

[fronkenpoop]

Th kitty at the beginning looks like one of my cats Oz... He is not a bad-ass though like those cats you have there. Might pay to use gardening gloves when you feed them.

[CaptainAtheist]

Do you have any rats on your rench??? .... I guess not :p

[1Weemaryanne]

I think any of these cats might account for that dead raccoon you found in the chicken coop. Just sayin'.

[KingHeathen]

Another reason as to why dogs are superior to cats.

Have you not had the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" speech with them? Me and that cat would have to come to terms!

[anmoose]

That's quite a tribe. Don't guess they get much into snuggling and purring.

I bet it'd be a real hoot to take in a big-ass tray full of fresh catnip, and watch them get wasted. Even wild cats have no will power.

[Ansonidak]

I like cats but none of them are really domesticated. We can keep them around only because we are so much bigger.

[Lpoolboy]

@Ansonidak What are you talking about? I have 2 cats, one is 16, one 15 and they're completely domesticated. I know when they wanna go outside, when they wanna come back in, when they want food, when they just wanna chill. They don't crap or pee in the house, they don't wreck the furniture. They're much easier to control than dogs if you bring them up right. They'd never dream of scratching any human unless the human deserved it.Cats are really easy to keep if you start em young.

[drax325]

A lot of cool fur pattens. The one look cross of a siamese and stripped tabby, never seen that before. Fuck those who say only pure breed are cute.

[NotSoOldHippy]

Damn! Them are some fucking vicious cats! Holy fuck! Are they all Republicans? Scratching and biting the hand that feeds them?

[acciobooks19]

They just want a hug. Hug out all that anger! Record it when you do it too.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@acciobooks19 Hub out the anger and then get your ass to the hospital! LOL.

[mmmirele]

You need a super soaker or water hose to go with your cat feeding duties.

I'm never going to complain about feeding my two cats ever again!

[NotSoOldHippy]

@mmmirele Damn! Feed the cats and then count your fingers!

[musicgeniusno1]

For wild cats they look in very good condition.

Nice of you to feed them, even if it means risking getting torn to bits..;)

[jadedunicorn]

always into pussy

hope they are all fixed

[TrollOfReason]

I'm guessing these cats are primarily kept around to keep local vermin in check? They're not socialized, it seems, at all.

[TheTruePooka]

Heh, I've been through exactly that experience. Personally, I'd feed them on the ground. But I see the advantages to your method. Reduction of tripping hazard vs. easier neck access for kitty attacks.

[theoriginalSkooby]

You can make those cats super sweet and lovable with one simple trick. Don't feed them for a couple of days and they will get a nice attitude change.

[happysplodie]

Heh, you feed the wild cats. I kinda do that, they taste like chicken. Hiss and spit at me and they get chosen :-P

[CognosSquare]

You should make a feeder system that gives them a portion from some kind of hopper. One that could be operated from a distance.

[mrgeniusontv]

you really have a way with cats! :)

you sound out of breath; get some exercise, man.

[FlyMario2]

cool cats. But sucks you can't love on them. But they rely on you.

[rednecktrucker1969]

damn, Ferrell dont even begin to describe them...lol

[SpeedFreakNO]

Hehe :P "I'm the one with the food" You sound really confident there :P

[NotSoOldHippy]

@SpeedFreakNO Really to the cats, Desertphile *is* food.



[bushonomics]

Holy feral felines aplenty!

[wordavee]

Very wise keeping that padlock and chain on the gate, who knows what would happen if they got out!!

[geyser]

I've been feeding two feral cats for two years. I can't get any closer than ten feet to them before they skedaddle. On the other hand, my dog is mortified when the cats rub up against him and purr.

[Mrwrinkleintime]

... You herd up cats much better than cattle ... but you have no lack of pussy... :O

[hellshade2]

you do realise desertphile that the number one most extreme predator is the common household cat....

[gabiotta]

We take in strays from Spain. They are like this when they arrive. I love it. Proper cats take no shit from anybody. You would be surprised how quickly the women i live with can love the grit right out of them. XD

[nishbrown]

Nice names:-)

You have more pussy on that ranch than you can handle, ehh?

[ftwsmp]

Obviously they are not creationists.

They are far too friendly to DP.

(And also too intelligent.)

[TheCurmudgen]

Damn. The growling kitteh reminds me of my ex.

[8WholeThing]

If cats could type, they would be internet trolls.

[myrdale]

That was crazy.

[Freak7109]

they should know not to bite the hand that feeds

[NeoDolph1n]

Awww, KITTEHS!

[evensgrey]

@NeoDolph1n Yes, cats REALLY trade on being cute. If there weren't so cute, we'd see them for the cruel, vicious, sadistic predators that will torture a prey animal to death for the sheer pleasure of the act that they are.

And I love cats! I just don't have illusions about what kind of creatures they are. (I've got one who tends to show affection by trying to tear out hunks of skin. The name for the habit is 'treading'.)

[NeoDolph1n]

@evensgrey True. One of the cats that own me tends to do that, too. I think he enjoys watching me in pain, he always purrs at the same time ;o)

[NotSoOldHippy]

@NeoDolph1n When I play with my cats and they clench their fangs in to my hands, I scream because cats really love it when their prey scream.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@evensgrey I tried seporating two cats fighting and got BUTCHERED for my troubles. Damn right, they're vicious.



[adolphbot]

maybe you should put the jar you use to feed them at the end of a pole

[latuman]

So why dont these kitties learn that you are their daddy and bring them food? You'd think they would respect you a bit more.

[skeletonmom]

@latuman - nope...if you want respect, you gotta get a dog.  ;D

[mortensjoegren]

@latuman

"You'd think they would respect you a bit more."

Respect? You've never had a cat have you? ;)

[NotSoOldHippy]

@mortensjoegren LOL! Respect from a cat. Cats look at us as food providers and an occasional way to eliminate an itch.

[Widgetas]

Interesting to see how they move... Maybe it's confirmation bias but they seem to move around in a 'wild' way... if you get me?

(cunt)

[nelliediddle]

heh barn cats ... they do remind one that felines are vicious predators

[DixieComic]

Ah, so you raise Korean food farm. Nice!

[74dorado]

catch the unique combination of Siamese and European cat with the blue eyes and sell it for breeding :)

[SCWDN]

haha i know the feeling, I adopted a feral kitten runt I found on the street. Would spit at everyone (accept my grandmother).

[CanadienAtheist]

Wow, what an ungrateful bunch of fur bags!

lol.

[blackwolf1200]

Okapicat

[smaakjeks]

Those are some conflicted cats.

"I HATE your very soul, but I love what you provide. Now come here and feed me but don't get close or I'll claw your eyes out!"

[JBarracudaL]

My oh my! They're so hostile! Of all the many cat-lovers I know, I've yet to encounter any who own cats that growl at the mere presence of their human caretaker. My two cats are practically animated stuffed animals, who let me effortlessly cradle them about. They do tend to cry outside my door if I work (write) for too long. They're a touch spoiled, I'd rather that than have them be so wild.

[evensgrey]

@JBarracudaL What you've got there are a band of near-feral cats who've learned how to take advantage of the human tendency to feed cats without the normal behavior pattern of being cute and adorable (in the presence of humans) that it normally takes to induce it. (There are bands of feral cats in Europe that are renowned for how well they play the tourists for handouts. There are famous bands in Pere La Chaise cemetery in Paris, and in some parts of Venice that live off them.)

[raindog951]

Hahaha! They should be called the Wild Bunch. I'm sure I could go in there and pet those Kitty's. If I ever get to your place you can film me trying, just before phoning the ambulance.

[Desertphile]

@raindog951 ; You are welcome to pet the cats here at the ranch. :-) Just sign the organ donor card first.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@Desertphile Sell his organs on eBay!

"Slightly chewed lung, left, starting bid $10."

[corvardus]

I'm presuming you are maintaining this colony of cats for the purposes of rodent suppression? Otherwise they'd be exploring the world of centrifugal forces with me wearing the armour they use for training police dogs! ;)

[hgryphon]

Food wasn't even enough of a distraction for that one. It paused from food to growl at you again...

[beachcomber2008]

I have just ONE black primitive called Claudius - "Claws" for short

We HAVE to keep it fed, otherwise he'll eat the dog

They both weigh 9Kg

[MMA]

LMAO...little ingrates. Have you ever talked to the ranch owners about getting them sterilized? That would help to keep the population down, of course, and some of them would come down a bit.

[voyagervsbor]

Different sort of cat video, but your still a sellout! XD

[mobiltec]

I have no love for cats.

[Brascofarian]

@mobiltec you just haven't met the right one.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@mobiltec MT, I thought you were a carnivore! When was the last time you had cat marinated in soy sauce?

[mobiltec]

@NotSoOldHippy My dog is the one who likes cats... She likes to chase them. I find them too hairy to eat. And there are far too many ways to skin a cat.

[Zed1967]

What I'd give to smear a naked creationists genitals with tinned tuna then throw him in there. Mwhahahahahahaha >:/

[NotSoOldHippy]

@Zed1967 No no. That would be wrong. LOL!



[DooMDrat]

Heh, I call my cat Ambrose "Tripping Hazard" sometimes. One of these days I'm going to hit the floor face-first because of him.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@DooMDrat They do it on purpose. They're fully aware of how amusing two-legged animals appear and they're always itching to land one of them on their face.

[tetsusaigaiy]

You neverown cats,

they own you.

[evensgrey]

@tetsusaigaiy There's a very true saying about dogs and cats:

Dogs have owners.

Cats have staff.

[Kargoneth]

So... the cats can't find anything to eat in nature?

[mayrana2]

@Kargoneth They're probably hanging around the barn looking for mice. Mice tend to migrate towards humans.

[evensgrey]

@mayrana2 Actually, it's not that mice gravitate to humans, but to our food stores. Since this is a working cattle ranch with work horses, there's sure to be feed grain stores, as well as some spillage. Mice LOVE the stuff.

[GetMeThere1]

Looks like ya got yourself some mean and nasty pussy up that way !

[dalinean]

In Australia feral cats are a real pest, eating native birds and reptiles.

I'd get rid of 'em all if I could.

A siamese with stripes! Breed it!!

[tersse]

yeh these cats are half feral if not all feral, maybey you should feed them more often, or, ship in a few cases of mice from a lab that dosnt need them for experiments any more , just an idea.

[AcanLord]

HI HO TRIPPING HAZARD AWAY!

[AcanLord]

Barn cats rule. I know they are a bit aggressive since they arent really domesticated, but i still like them. And they are still "kinda" safe to be around, so long as you do make contact with them on THEIR terms.

[redtortoise76]

Oh these are good cats. I remember working in a house one day and we had to get this pregnant cat out before we did some sensitive work she was not supposed to get into. Two grown men armed with brooms and sticks could not get that cat out of the house, I was shocked and never thought that a small feline can display such aggressiveness and ferocity. We left her inside and hoped for the best :P she was a good kitty and didn't ruin anything.

They're wonderful animals if domesticated, I adore cats.

[CrownRoyalSociety]

Pet Cemetery comes to mind.

[bobster451]

"Good Kitties...CUNT"

[d3st88]

Holy shit! Cats from hell! Still.. Something deep down inside me just want to hug the fuck out of them even though I know I'd be shredded to pieces.

[Desertphile]

@d3st88 ; Indeed. I have had to warn visitors to "not pet the cute kitty." Some visitors don't believe me until they try.....

[Nigrescence]

@Desertphile

I'd still pet them, even knowing I'll get clawed to death, and I wouldn't blame you at all.

[CaptainAtheist]

@Desertphile how bad can they be? Come to think of it.... I wouldn't like to be locked with 'em in a room :p

[Desertphile]

@CaptainAtheist ; I read about a guy who fed his cats for two weeks after he died.

[CaptainAtheist]

@Desertphile  :| auch

[achtungcircus]

@Desertphile

I met one, well several...

We took out cats for 8 days. Some with a rabies pole, like having a chainsaw on a stick. Some we used live traps.

[Desertphile]

@achtungcircus ; "Chainsaw on a stick." ROTFL! That's good.

[TheMudbrooker]

Just gotta love them barn cats!!

[baraqiyal]

Do they all have names?

[Desertphile]

@baraqiyal ; "Do they all have names?"

Only the marginally friendly cats have names. The wild ones do not. Tripping Hazard is one of the older cats; Dirty Nose is the same age. The rest I generally called "Leave Me The Fuck Alone Or I'll Get The Fucking Shotgun."

[baraqiyal]

Tripping Hazard lol.

[d3st88]

@Desertphile

Those are charming names. Lmao.

[ftwsmp]

@Desertphile You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter when I tell you a cat must have three different names.

[oexnorth]

I fuckin hate cats.

[kaminarigaston]

I'd love to feed those charming cats. To an alligator.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@kaminarigaston ROFL! Poor alligator!

[keithrockerboblewis]

Maybe we could go back to using catgut guitar strings.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@keithrockerboblewis Oh. That's... That's just horrible, KRBL! LOL.

[Kordiro]

1:22 Jesus shit! o.O

[Desertphile]

@Kordiro ; "Jesus shit! o.O"

Yes. :-) I don't walk outside at night without a big stick in my hand. Damn cats will eat me some day.

[niekvdbogert]

@Desertphile

an atheist herding cats LOLZ, nice metaphor! Continue being awesome!

[ozmoroid]

So cuddley! Warm kitty, soft kitty, little ball of fur ...

[bobster451]

@ozmoroid Hey dude!

You're sick!

(but kind of in a cool way if you know what I mean)

[NotSoOldHippy]

@ozmoroid Untl you reach down and try to pet one! Then you draw back a bloody stump!

[masticina]

hehehe cats be cats.. and wild cats are not the most social :)

[dtm52]

Your cats move, wow. My cats just lounge until they order me to feed them. What a life.

[PT109Boat]

I noticed that some of these cats are still... fully fuctional, if you know what I mean.

I had two wild cats in the back of my house. Time passed, but when the number reached 30, I had to trap them all (one by one) and gave them the Bob Barker special (I had the money back then).

I kept all 30 for several years (still wild) but the numbers did not increased.

[HHOinfo]

Don't think I would try and move that pan once you put food in it.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@HHOinfo Here, kitty, let me adjust that supper dish for you.

Growwwl!

Arrgh!

Drip drip drip

--Crash!--

--groan--

[AisuSeijin]

I haven't been following along as much as I should have. I had no idea there were cats! <3 <3
