I want a Sand Cat

[wendi69]

why don't you go find someone to harass who actually does have a large cat for a pet and really needs your advice; someone who doesn't come from a family of environmentalists and scientists? plenty of THEM on youtube. a word of advice - if you want someone to actually listen to you, try learning some manners.

[wendi69]

once and for all, i don't actually want to keep an effing sand cat in my home, nor do i really like the idea of keeping them in captivity at all. you have no idea whether or not, or how i support large cats in their natural environment, or support natural environments in general. making judgements about me based on one thing i said in one video (that you took the wrong way) makes it very difficult for me to take anything you say seriously.

[NonnyMus1]

No, you don't want a Sand Cat. They are wild animals. They will bite you and scratch you if you get anywhere near them. They will mark anywhere they are with urine - day and night - without ceasing. Your home will smell awful since their urine is incredibly strong smelling.

No, you do NOT want a Sand Cat. How about doing something constructive such as working to or contributing toward preserving their natural habitat in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Northern Africa?

[wendi69]

@NonnyMus1 yeah, i totally wanted one to keep in my house...that's definitely what i meant. thanks for sharing.

[NonnyMus1]

@wendi69 I thought that's what you meant since you didn't write something like, "I want to start a fund so my local zoo can get a Sand Cat" or, "I want to sponsor a Sand Cat at Big Cat Rescue". You're welcome!

[34london]

@NonnyMus are you stupid or just really dense? It's just an expression. She obviously meant it such as "oh they are very cute." learn to not take everything so literally.

[NonnyMus1]

@34london lol. I guess I'm stupid - or maybe I'm just really dense. I guess I'm too stupid to tell - or maybe it's that I'm just really dense so I can't tell.

One of the features of written language is that it is meant to be taken literally. That's just the way it is. "I want a Sand Cat" means that she wants a Sand Cat. No other meaning is 'obvious'. If she meant something else, she should have written something else. To do otherwise is just stupid... or maybe it's just really dense..

[averyellis]

@NonnyMus1 you are not worth responding to, but your language makes it impossible. either you're a troll or ... i hate to use a word already used, but dense. i pick troll.

[averyellis]

@averyellis and that's a compliment to you.

[averyellis]

@NonnyMus1 THIS *IS* THE LOCAL ZOO, IDIOT.

[wendi69]

@NonnyMus1 ??? This IS the local zoo! What do you think it is?

[wendi69]

@wendi69 actually, one of the features of the written language is that it contains subtlety, nuance, sarcasm, poetic license, allegory, and many other ways to not mean literally what you say. for instance when he says "i want you to squeeze my lemon until the juice runs down my leg" i believe he is not actually talk about a lemon. ya think?

[Raqwaza17]

She's like WTF IS THAT

[averyellis]

Gotdammit. Obviously she doesn't really want a Sand Cat. The pussy just looks cute, is all. If you actually watch the vid, you'll see that she never tapped it, just touched it. And I'm pretty sure she's not the one who put it in the zoo to begin with so that's a pointless argument. And yes, I have a friend who works at this very zoo (in B'ham) who confirms that the look on the cat's face is "If this glass wasn't here, I'd eat that finger". If you;re really concerned DO SOMETHING about it

[averyellis]

@averyellis Just to complete my rant, there is a door to an outside space that the cat can go to. I'm not defending or desecrating zoos, but they at least show people who would otherwise not give a shit about animals that aren't indigenous to their country that there are species worth preserving. ... You know what? fuck it. The earth has been destroyed before, maybe the next time it'll take out humans once and for all. Best quote from "Jurassic Park": Life will find a way.

[neoYTPism]

Kitty's like "dude, I'm not licking your dirty finger."

[staceysimba]

That cat isn't happy.

Its pacing.

[wendi69]

yeah, no shit.

[Cernunnas]

Zoos are just for human entertaiment. Animals there are extremely unhappy and end up dying at really early age. Whats right is to protect the land wher they live in and that's it. Sorry if you don't like it.

Oh and BTW...... you CAN'T have a sandcat.

[BatcaveDilemma]

@Cernunnas

Essentially everything you typed is wrong.

[HelloSMILEEE]

free the sand cats

[HelloSMILEEE]

I WISH IT WAS NOT IN A ZOO

[huber2008]

that cat has death in it's eyes

[Amberitus]

Sand cat wants out!

[HakumeiHogosha]

I don't think that kitty liked you much...his expression in the beginning was like "Keep tapping, if I was out there, i'd bite that finger off!!" lmao

[solwolfpunk]

poor cat!!! Stuck in a boring enclosure. It belongs in the desert!!!

[FMAfanFMA]

This animal is endangered, so it's not good to have too many out in the wild, or they could go extinct. That's kind of the point in a zoo.

[Charlymaumushi]

Sand cats are beeing reduced in numbers but they are not in a critical stage. We been very good about conserving habitats. There is other animals that are in that critical stage. We juat need to take are of our planet.

[wendi69]

@e102ewan and their ears are bigger so they can hear desert things.

[Charlymaumushi]

Don't forget they have a specialy adapted feet.....they distinctly different from domestic cats. e102ewan is just typing lies.

[SonNeko]

@wendi69 Sand cat a lot meaner then domestic cats. They have a very wild nature and they hiss and spit a lot.

[crazylikelazy]

@e102ewan Same animal? No , Sand cats are FAAAAAAR more aggressive. and most dont like to be handled.

[shawnjchappie]

@e102ewan Not the same animal. The whole wild instincts still being there, and all. People are fooled by size too much. :(

I adore me some sand cat, but I'm not foolish enough to want to keep one or recommend it to others.

[thalizat]

@e102ewan They are not the same.. sand cats are wild and aggressive and are NOT domestic cats.

[starshock01]

lol id feel so bad if i accidentily pointed my laser in there...xD you know you would do it too!

[helloredpanda]

Regarding the title if this video...

Me too!

=^.^=

[maeeatspeople]

they're not in there ALL the time. haha they have other holding areas and they get out. With all of the laws in place they cant just stay there. ha

[SuviJade]

Poor cat : ( That's a really small place to live. I just want to get it free from there! Back to the desert.

[MotkanyScrat]

I am to want a sand cat :( but i cant buy nowhere.

[chinballs2]

they need desert conditions to survive so you better live in a desert.

[hizennogo]

Such a small living space... Oh I hope I am wrong and that is just a place some other then living 24/7.

[jeordie82]

I want one too

I wanna know where I can buy one of these

[atang09]
