Purr-fect house for cats!

[DarkSkies]

Monty, it's time!
Time for you to get all those litter boxes out of the house.
It ain't normal living with stench, ask me, I should know....:o :laugh:


My solution for you...take part of your IRA, cash it in, and get all those felines in yer house a house of their own!

Speedy and Surfstix have volunteered to make and paint wooden scratching posts for them in their new digs....'

And Finchaser told me he would personally come and feed them every day, if you moved them to a new location....:clapping:

His exact words..."anything for a friend" :rolleyes:

Whaddya say, bro? :don't know why: :HappyWave:

A Purrfect House for Cats



By Erik Pisor, Inman News
September 20, 2011





http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/re/gr2/catleadimage_v2.jpgPet-friendly homes are starting to catch on in Japan.

Does it make sense to design homes to cater to the enjoyment of cat and dog pet owners? Several design firms are grabbing the pet-friendly home idea by the tail and running with it.
The demand is there, at least in Japan, claims Fauna Plus DeSIGN and its director, Keiji Hirose, a firm known for designing a custom home for 16 cats. The heart of the home features a cat-climbing tree that serves as a spiral staircase leading up to a catwalk on the second floor of the unit.
The catwalk forms a zigzag design and can also be accessed via steps that protrude from the wall, similar to House Taishido's shelves. Several of the steps are next to small holes in the walls that lead to other rooms.

See article: Cat House Homes (http://www.inman.com/news/2011/09/16/a-home-thats-fit-a-cat)




Other cat-friendly features of that home include:


a cat-accessible loft that features skylights and windows;
a multistage cube of shelves with cat beds; and
a floor-to-ceiling scratching post column, wrapped in hemp rope.
According to Fauna Plus DeSIGN estimates, the cost to design a two-story, detached wooden home built to cat specifications ranges from 3.2 million yen (about $42,000 in U.S. dollars) for a 20-square-meter space (about 215 square feet) -- on up to 13 percent of the total construction costs for a space measuring more than 50 square meters (about 538 square feet), the company reports.

If 16 cats weren't enough, the residence also houses five dogs, which are separated from the cats via a glass door. To house the dogs and allow them outside access, Fauna designed a rooftop garden.
The firm is experienced with dog-focused projects, too, as its two most recent projects involved the design of an indoor waterproof kennel for the home of two dachshunds and the remodel of an apartment that houses a basset hound.

Features of a dog-friendly home typically include proper ventilation to eliminate hair shed; odor absorbent materials; and a dog shower or toilet. Other dog-friendly home features include: dog-level peepholes in garden walls, pet-door installations in each room, outdoor courtyards in dense urban housing areas, and scratch-resistant flooring.
"For dogs it's ... more difficult (than designing a home for cats)," Koyama said, adding that special attention must be given to materials used for the floors and stairs.
The cost to design a two-story wooden home to dog specifications can range from 3 million yen (about $39,000 in U.S. dollars) for a 20-square-meter space (about 215 square feet) up to 12 percent of total construction costs for a space exceeding 50 square meters (about 538 square feet).
Pet Friendly Houses Catching On
There is a market for pet-focused design, said Akira Koyama, the owner and representative director of Tokyo-based Key Operation Inc., an architecture firm behind a residence dubbed "House Taishido," or "Cat House."
Located in a densely populated urban district west of Tokyo, the three-story, 30-square-meter home features stepping-stone-like shelves that allow the home's feline resident to navigate vertically into and out of the main living room via small openings.
The small openings in the wall lead to other rooms on the first floor.
The cat can also access the second floor of the unit by walking up the shelves and slipping through a slot that functions as a cat-only portal. Freeing up the unit's staircase from cat traffic allows the space to double as a home library, with bookcases and space for reading.

According to Koyama, the house was not initially designed to be a "cat house," and those features took shape later in the design stages.
"It wasn't too expensive (to add the cat features), and was quite fun," he said, adding that the home's design focused on creating a space with rooms of different heights and sizes connected by doorless transitions and windows.
This initial design concept inadvertently made for excellent cat mobility.

What do you think I'm crazy? With the 5 cats we only two rooms set up for them. (first 4 pics are one room, last three are second room. And my waders smell a lot worse than the cats litter. Its all under control, thank you anyway guys :kooky: .
Now if we were building a new house, the stuff in those pics would be great.

yeah Speedy and Surfstix have volunteered to make and paint wooden scratching post to smack you in the head with
your shot bro

[finchaser]

Got to love it, Dark surrounded by birds and your surrounded by pus_y that eats fish

[DarkSkies]

^^Here we go, look what ya did, ya got the grouch riled up....
I don't know if ya shoulda posted those pics to defend yerself, Monty....I think you just dug yourself a deeper hole.....:scared:

I saved some birds while we were down in Fla...I'll try to post some pics of that and deflect the shots over the bow...:bucktooth: :laugh:...but with not many guys catching fish right now, I'm thinking this thread could become the entertainment of the week....:) :HappyWave:

As for the waders, when you're wearing them do the people in line at 7-11 or Quik-Chek for coffee discreetly move away from you when you're waiting in line with them? If not I got ya beat! :headbang:

You may have more stench from your litter boxes, :upck: but I'm the clear front-runner in the smelly waders contest....:ROFLMAO

[storminsteve]

:HappyWave:
What do you think I'm crazy? With the 5 cats we only two rooms set up for them.


Monty, ever hear of the cat lady, the lady who lives alone with 97 cats, in a house away from everyone else so no one knows how many cats she has? ONLY 2 rooms set up for them???? Well, you are the cat DUDE! I hope this doesn't offend, but c'mon now!

Cat pictures all over the wall, is that of their family history and cat relatives from the past? Do you have any old-time cat photo's stored in albums somewhere? And how about that big screen lcd TV, is that just for the cat programs or are you allowed to watch it too? I don't know who is crazier you or dark. You guys are really out there. If you hear sirens in front of your house don't be alarmed, that is just them coming to take you to the funny farm.:kooky: :HappyWave:

[Monty]

I do believe its Dark....but I also believe there are more than a few others here who are ahead of me....maybe not Dark on the "lets get that nut to the funny farm list". :HappyWave:

:clapping::clapping:Do any of these belong to you, dude? Would you like to adopt them- surely you could fit them in in the cat looney house you posted pics of. (Just joking, but Id like to ask you if they all sleep on your head at night, you might want to check if you are getting some brain damage from all the p**** on your head);)
I have to tell you guys this thread is funny as hell, keep it going. Monty do you have any more pics you would care to share?

[finchaser]

Definitely DARK, Monty is an amateur compared to DS when it comes to insanity plus he's a nice guy

[storminsteve]

Youtube is great!
Monty if you get downsized in this recession, no wories, you can just roll on down to Key West and start again!:ROFLMAO :HappyWave:

[cowherder]

Wow either dark and the stinky waders and bird stories or monty with roomfulls of cats, which is worse? I think you both need professional help, but I did laugh as I was reading the posts, keep it up! Hey I just noticed I have over 1000 posts, do I get anything for that?

[surfstix1963]

Over a 1000 posts :clapping: that entitles you to a free trip to Montauk with Dark bring the coffee and febreeze:d:d:laugh::laugh::HappyWave:Don't worry about waders the fish are out in the rips grab the Lazybones Bring big diamond jigs 4-8 oz. should work and a conventional reel that you can underhand cast for squidding gold hammered jigs work better than the chrome plated ones sometimes.Prepare for some sore body parts.Leave the tube diamond jigs home single plain hook.

[Monty]

Hey I just noticed I have over 1000 posts, do I get anything for that?
Not to speak for Dark, but I think he would be OK with this, Your choice, a cat or a pair of used waders.

[DarkSkies]

Cowherder, I'm gonna go with Monty's recommendation, though I find it incredible that Monty would give away one of his precious cats...:ROFLMAO

Ya have my thanks for your contributions, especially the "C&R thread".
And everlasting gratitude, that's about the best I can do...
If you're lookin for a prize, here ya go....:moon: :laugh: :HappyWave:


I could offer to share what I know about surfcasting, one hour sitting in the car, with the windows closed....I would be wearing the smelly waders, and be eating 2 hot dogs with sauer kraut and 2 cups of cofffee that you'll be buying me at the 7-11 as a token of appreciation for getting to hear me dispense this knowledge...:kooky:

Or, I could give ya an old pair of smelly waders with holes in em,,,,
or Monty would donate a cat :kooky:

Or....
I could offer ya a night of fishin the surf, hitting some of my best areas, and describing best time and tide to fish em (you would still have to buy the coffee and hot dogs...:cool:)
Only condition, no whining.....the last time I did this with someone, they really couldn't keep up, ended up complaining about all the walking, and were sleeping on the beach and missed the sunrise bite because I wore them out....:rolleyes: so if you got the stamina, take me up on it....and thanks for all, bro! :clapping: :thumbsup:

Sent me a PM if interested.

[Monty]

Cowherder, I'm gonna go with Monty's recommendation, though I find it incredible that Monty would give away one of his precious cats...:ROFLMAO

Let's not get carried away here.
I said a cat, not one of mine. I'll find one for ya somewhere if you choose that "prize". Just give me like your 3 top colors for the cat and I'll see what I can find.

[finchaser]

On one of DS's marathons he averages about a 1/4 ounce of fish an hour which equates to less than a short per day.:clapping::ROFLMAO

Aw Monty, I was so counting on you giviing away one of yours, wont' you reconsider?
If so I'll take that as a prize.:HappyWave:

:clapping::clapping::clapping::laugh: That makes sense too, well I wouldn't be expecting to catch much, it would be nice to meet him and hang out for a bit. But no way woull I accept the smelly waders as a prize!:upck:

[bababooey]

Aw Monty, I was so counting on you giviing away one of yours, wont' you reconsider?
If so I'll take that as a prize.:HappyWave:



Can't you tell by the pics that monty looooooooooooooooooves his cats?:beatin:I think you have as much a chance of monty giving you one of those furballs as you have seeing dark in a clean pair of waders. Dream the impossible dream.

[storminsteve]

Cmon Monty give up one of your cats. You have so many you probably wouldn't miss one. How many is it now?

[wish4fish]

But no way woull I accept the smelly waders as a prize!:upck:

dude if u wud i wud be scared i wud never take those waders even tho i know him, that wud be so ghey, lol.

[jigfreak]

Aw Monty, I was so counting on you giviing away one of yours, wont' you reconsider?


Let me know if you get that cat, dude. There is a Chinese restaurant by me that cooks a great moo goo gai cat. You bring the cat and I'll pay for them to cook it with chili sauce. Yum yum.;) :laugh:

[bababooey]

:scared:Moo goo gai cat? PM me the name of that place so I know not to eat there.

[dogfish]

Got to love it, Dark surrounded by birds and your surrounded by pus_y that eats fish

A cat kabob with hoisin sauce would be the bomb.

[DarkSkies]

I know you're just kidding, I think....You mooks are skewering poor Monty. :scared: Isn't a guy allowed to have a few cats? :don't know why: :cool:
No love for the cat people on this site? http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/images/icons/icon9.png

[Monty]

So yesterday I thought it was a little crazy seeing Dark trying to give one of my cats away….
Then this morning, well this morning just plain scares me.



On one of DS's marathons he averages about a 1/4 ounce of fish an hour which equates to less than a short per day.:clapping::ROFLMAO
Now we know what finchaser does in the time between catching bass, figures out Dark’s Ounce of bass/hour fishing ratio. I would have sent the formula I use to you if you asked.
Ounce of bass per hour = (time fishing/bass/bass weight)/((Samwhich time+ westwind wally video time)/ (∆ get back on jetty time+(watching swan time/fantasizing about swan time))+(getiing yak in and out of water time +√ۗۗۗscouting time)+(travel time+sleep in car time) + (time getting in and out of really stinky waders + time trying to convince Pebbles to fish in hurricane)). This close to what you came up with?:HappyWave:


Aw Monty, I was so counting on you giviing away one of yours, wont' you reconsider?
If so I'll take that as a prize.:HappyWave:?
My cats are not availible (off the table):laugh:
There is a three legged cat where I work, its black and white, I’m pretty sure I can catch it by the weekend and get it to you if you promise you won’t eat it.:ROFLMAO


Cmon Monty give up one of your cats. You have so many you probably wouldn't miss one. How many is it now?
:HappyWave:
I have five cats last time I checked unless dogfish or jigfreak or Bababooey ate one….or for that matter them all. You guys eat dinner last night? :kooky:
Bababooey, one post you are sticking up for me and my cats….the next post you are eating one….. Would expect nothing less from you.:HappyWave:

Thanks guys for making Dark and me (especially) look “normal”.

You're a good sport. always down for a laugh or 2, thanks for makin me laugh today, bro. :HappyWave:



I will post pics of me saving those birds in Fla soon as I get a chance, no sense in having all of ya's ganging up on Monty for too long....:cool:

[DarkSkies]

Fin and I were talking about this today, and after deep discussion, we unanimously agree.....;)


Monty and his cats are responsible for the lousy surf albacore season so far.....

I'll lay it out for ya's all the evidence so far....
1. He has more cats in his town than any one person, it just ain't natural, I tell ya He says he has 5, but I think he's hiding a few more in some other rooms in his house.http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/images/icons/icon3.png

2. He and his wife baby those cats like kids.......those cats get better treatment than some kids living in rich neighborhoods.

3. Part of that is the best medical care money can buy for those pampered furballs....;) NO walmart food for them, I'm told by my spies that he feeds them the finest food money can buy.....

4. Also, my spies tell me that Monty feeds up to 20 cats a night at local parks and wharf parking lots....:d

5. Which brings us to the tuna and albacore stocks....

6. I have further intel that those boats coming into Manasquan inlet early morning are not just netting the millions of abundant bunker there...they're also netting inshore tuna and false albacore, and bringing them back to the docks when everyone is sleeping...

7. They are met at the dock by a shadowy character, a lone surfcaster who carries 2 tackle bags...:cool: a surfcaster who always fishes teasers, and also heavily fishes plugs made by the notoriously infamous plug builders Rip- Plugger, Surfstix1963, and Speedy....Hmmm I wonder who that could be?...http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/images/icons/icon3.png :rolleyes:

8. This phantom buyer, appearing only in the dead of night, comes to the fishing boats with his jeep filled with insulated fish bags, and pays the boat guys twice the going rate for any albacore and skipjacks they bring him...sometimes he will buy as much as 400 lbs of albies for distribution.

9. How could one person use 400lbs at a time, you say? :huh:
I have an answer for that too...my spies tell me he is the kingpin distributor :scared: for all the cat lovers in a fancy cat club in his area......

10 They view him as a legend,:bigeyes: as he is bringing tuna (alleged) for them to feed their cats, at only 30c/lb. Even at that price it's a bargain, priced way less than all the Fancy Feast and Iams chi-chi gourmet offerings....:laugh:











So now you have it,,,,,

Why there are no more albies in NJ.....
As imagined by Darkskies and Finchaser....:rolleyes:
(it's hard to recognize his face with the Indiana Jones hat he wears and those 2 tackle bags covering most of him..... but we have the pics to prove it...)

[Monty]

:ROFLMAO:ROFLMAO

Sure, go ahead and joke about it. You have any idea how much Albie some of the neighborhood cats eat?
http://rocksimpson.com/images/Albi.jpg

I hear there are Lizard fish around, maybe stop complaining and target them instead of Albies, if you want something besides bass or blues...at least this year.
Cause the cats are eating GOOD.

No Albies for you

8. This phantom buyer, appearing only in the dead of night, comes to the fishing boats with his jeep filled with insulated fish bags, and pays the boat guys twice the going rate for any albacore and skipjacks they bring him...sometimes he will buy as much as 400 lbs of albies for distribution.

9. How could one person use 400lbs at a time, you say? :huh:
I have an answer for that too...my spies tell me he is the kingpin distributor :scared: for all the cat lovers in a fancy cat club in his area......

10 They view him as a legend,:bigeyes: as he is bringing tuna (alleged) for them to feed their cats, at only 30c/lb. Even at that price it's a bargain, priced way less than all the Fancy Feast and Iams chi-chi gourmet offerings....:laugh:











So now you have it,,,,,

Why there are no more albies in NJ.....
As imagined by Darkskies and Finchaser....:rolleyes:
(it's hard to recognize his face with the Indiana Jones hat he wears and those 2 tackle bags covering most of him..... but we have the pics to prove it...)



Here ya have it Monty, proof at last....your cats are personally responsible for the poor fall albacore surf bite...and for the steady decline of the striped bass along the whole East Coast.... :kooky: :ROFLMAO :fishing: :HappyWave:

As for Monty's cats. I hear neighborhood Chinese restaurants are now paying up to $5 a cat. Fat ones like monty has should bring premium prices. Cat foo yung, delish!:ROFLMAO Just kidding monty only wanted to offer you an alternative in case the economy ever goes down on your end.:HappyWave:

Bunch of women on this site. Stripersandswans, stripersandgeese, stripersandcats. How about we just stick to the stripers. Cats are these annoying furballs. They come into your backyard and have babies. Then if you feed them they keep coming back. I know you love these cats monty but to me they are about as useless as squirrels. Squirrel stew. No offense monty, k?:upck::HappyWave:

[DarkSkies]

Thanks for your esteemed opinion Dogfish. :moon:Although I grew up with dogs around the house, Pebbles and I now have a cat too. She ain't that bad....and Pebbles is happy, which is important.....to each his own they say. :thumbsup:

Here are a few pics of my cats today.
No more fishing pics for me for 2013....Nothing but cat pics I am thinking.
Finished fishing for 2013, shoulder is shot, surgery late October, hopefully ready to fish again in April 2014.
Until then no pictures of Sunrises, Fish or Dead Things......nothing but my cats :wheeeee:

Wow I am sorry to hear that dude. I wanted to win the dead things competition for the 2nd half of 2013. Won't be half the fun it was if you're not competing.
What's the deal with your shoulder?

[Monty]

Wow I am sorry to hear that dude. I wanted to win the dead things competition for the 2nd half of 2013. Won't be half the fun it was if you're not competing.
What's the deal with your shoulder?
Partially torn rotator cuff.
Its been bothering me for over a year.
Tried cortisone shot in February, no help. MRI a few months later showed the tear and I was planning on having it fixed around Christmas (fish the fall run). But its gotten a lot worse the last 3 fishing trips where it now hurts almost all the time now and the shoulder seems a lot weaker when fishing with a lot of pain. So shutting it down and not do any further damage.
I was lucky to have a real good year finding dead things (kicked your A** :ROFLMAO )....and also a very good year for me fishing. Lots of fun.
But already can't wait until April.

[bababooey]

^^^^^Sorry to hear the news. Your dead things posted were legendary. Really enjoyed that thread it is quite unique. Hope the recovery process is not that painful. Ask your dr if he can prescribe fishing as therapy, maybe he might cut you some slack,

[Monty]

^^^^^Sorry to hear the news. Ask your dr if he can prescribe fishing as therapy, maybe he might cut you some slack,

Thanks, I have fished every Sunday AM since mid March this year, so was lucky to fish that regularly, withdrawal time now.
Supposedly 6-8 weeks with arm in sling and 4-6 months recovery... After these last few weeks I am really looking forward to fishing with a shoulder that is somewhat OK.

[albiealert]

Sounds like you are going to miss the fall run down there monty. Godspeed with your recovery.

Dude you are nuts!!!!!!:kooky: :scared:
That's bigger than a Christmas turkey! Can I ask what you feed him?

[J Barbosa]

Dude you are nuts!!!!!!:kooky: :scared:
That's bigger than a Christmas turkey! Can I ask what you feed him?

we feed him dry cat food...9 lives brand?

He is a 14 year old Turkish Angora all black coat with very long hair...mother was a beautiful white haired Angora who belonged to a doctor couple and friends of the family. What they didn't warn us about long haired breads is they SHED a lot!!

We got suckered into accepting one of the offspring @ 4 or 5 weeks old.

The long hair makes him look even bigger and if we don't comb him weekly the hair is so long it starts to knot on itself.

Score one for the cats!!!

[storminsteve]

bababooey I think there was mention a while back that his cats wont eat tuna. They only eat fresh albacore that he catches and prepares for them a la slice. Very finicky cats they are lol.:HappyWave:

[DarkSkies]

I remember one morning I was fishing and walking to a different spot and I see a guy standing next to a 4 foot x 6 foot piece of Styrofoam.
All of a sudden I see him take out his knife and go medieval on it :viking:.
Only thing I can equate this to is someone who has Tourettes syndrome, except with a knife.
Anyone fishing with a guy like that should keep a good 6-10 feet from him at all times. Maybe some kind of non-mugging/self defense tactic?
Its a crazy world we fish in.

Yep I agree, that's a dangerous guy, not to be trusted.....
Do ya think it was possible, that he lost the end cap to his rod when he set it down in the styrofoam....to take a leak? and THAT'S what he was digging into the styrofoam for? ;)


Either way, a guy like that sounds unbalanced.... someone you would definitely not want to fish with.....and avoid at all costs....:laugh: :HappyWave:

I think we're amped up on a little too much caffeine when we're out there....it's a good thing we're not out having this happen while hunting...out there with loaded guns....someone might shoot a clamshell because he mis-took it for a rabbit. :laugh: :kooky:

1. When your cats control the household, whose house is it, yours or theirs? :rolleyes:
2. Why is it not acceptable to put a cat's head in a toilet when it mis-behaves? :scared:
