If you get an adult cat can run into situations where it's just scared AF of you or doesn't want you in its space. In any event the cat is going to be self-cleaning and (in most cases) quiet. You just have to come to grips early on that even the coolest/most down to hang cat does not love you (or even consider you really unless you do something it views as beneficial, like pet them for socialized cats or feed them for all cats), will not respond to your commands and would start trying to eat your eyeball if you dropped dead in your apartment. Once you come to grips with that, cats are 5/5 and would buy again

But Philadelphia FOP President John McNesby says the officer, who is of German heritage, was just trying to show his pride in the German-American Police Association, which he says uses a similar symbol, which he provided for us to see.

"He's a military veteran, he's a father, he's a great cop. On the other arm he has a tattoo of an American flag. Is that offensive? If he had a black panther on his chest or his back or his leg, would that be offensive?" said McNesby.

McNesby says Officer Lichtermann has an exemplary record with the department, with no disciplinary action ever taken against him.

"And now, he's being crucified, his family is being crucified. He had to change his phone number over a tattoo that he's had for a decade? Stop it. Come on," said McNesby.

“I find it incredibly offensive, and I know many others do as well,” he said in a statement. “This image is particularly offensive to our WWII veterans who fought valiantly to free Europe from Nazi Germany, as well as all victims of Nazi atrocities. In this environment — in which open, honest dialogue between citizens and police is paramount — we need to be building trust, not offering messages or displaying images that destroy trust.”

Mine is a male and is pretty much the same way except with me. Will not leave my side when I'm home. He's 22 pounds and 15 years old. Surprised he's still kicking.

got a feeling he's not the only one if this is the freaking response from the FOP

Kenney said this, and the PPD launched an investigation:

Hyperactive night behaviors can be annoying. Try playing with him/her right before bed to tire out. Locking them in laundry room might seem like a good solution but leads to more issues (trust me)

That being said I prefer active/athletic cats, if they are otherwise cool. Like having a little mini sprloes running around your house to marvel at its athletic feats up close

I think part of the reason some cats usually stay friedly is cats that don't go outside all the time and have the crap scared out of them by random things. My cats never even really tried to go any further than the screened in porch.
