    My cat is not very smart

    I have a soft spot for animals, so we have a good number of indoor cats. We just moved into a 2-story house, and none of our cats have lived in one before. Within a few hours all the cats except one had went up and down the stairs with no issues. But not this one. He went up them on his own, then refused to come down. He just sat at the top of the stairs looking down and crying. So I went to pick him up to carry him down and he freaked out. I literally had to toss him down to avoid being sliced to death. So it happened again, and this time my wife went to try bringing him down as he likes her more. She did about as well as I did. So now he won't go up the stairs at all.

    Cats are great. They provide much more family entertainment than dogs, imo.

    Dogs and cats as family entertainment?

    Cat's are retards.

    I've lived with them all my life.

    I just do it to feel better about myself.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    why throw it??? dont you know how to incapacitate a cat to carry him down??? my cats can be crazy but i know exactly how to bind their legs without hurting them and can carry em anywhere... the hard part is not getting cut to shreds when you let go... but i just put em on their back and let go real quick... no need to throw it anywhere... especially down a set of stairs...

    ive even got my cats wet in the tub... not easy, but do-able... their usually pretty clean, but sometimes they get into something gross... like when one tore open a a plastic honey bear and got it all over herself... all the dirt and dust and anything else she rolled around in stuck to her, not to mention having to clean honey off the floor... thankfully it was on the hardwood...

    also i only get female cats... it sucks when theyre in heat but its better than the alternative... and i hate the idea of having them "fixed"... i have very mixed feelings about that whole thing...

    Like MK, I love cats and find them much more fun and interesting than dogs.

    I tried shaking the food at the bottom of the stairs, but no go. I also put catnip down on the first step down and that didn't work either and he LOVES catnip. It's like crack for cats.

    As to why I threw him, I had no idea he would react like that. I know how to carry a cat that's ****ed off, by the scruff of the neck. They just freeze up and hang there! So i went to pick him up and put him on my chest/shoulder area like he likes to be carried. He honestly gave no signs of being upset before I picked him up. I felt horrible after I did it btw.

    A frightened cat sometimes forgets where he is and if his family is trying to help him or not.

    You made a decision based on the situation, it didn't turn out perfectly, but at least it got him down the steps. Welcome to the imperfect world of imperfect decisions.

    I own a cat as well. Love those little guys.
