Never go into the basement and leave the door open. A cat will follow you, followed by another. You probably won't realize they followed you, they will get locked down there, and when you go to save them 3 more will go down into the basement. Then going to save them you will leave the door open again and the original 2 will go back down. #LFMF

5 cats hardly means a pathetic life.
I beg to differ
they are following the call of basement cat. burn them at the stake to cleanse their souls
Win!
I’m a little perplexed by this…are they your cats or just cats that happened to be around? You referred to them as “a” cat and “another” cat rather than being your cats, but I find it hard to believe so many cats would be so at ease wandering into a place they don’t know.
If a cat goes somewhere they went there for a reason, no need to “save” them. If they are locked down there just open the door and they will come out at their convience. Hence the reason the first 2 went back downstairs because they were not ready to leave the basement yet.
But with 5 of them, you’ll never be able to close that door ever again, there’ll always be at least one of them downstairs. If not, while you’re making certain of that, the first one you counted WILL be once you’ve found the last one to count.
Put 5 dishes of tasty canned food at the top of the basement stairs, or other treats, and they will come up. Then shut the door. Mine will come if I just tap the can with a spoon.
You seem like an intelligent person.
Most people who own an excessive number of cats usually are
As a professional cat herder I have to ask why your livestock was inside your house instead of grazing in the field?
Because they’re obviously smarter than her. You don’t think they weren’t laughing their asses off over making her do this?
Heh, I know I’m laughing at this — I have no doubt the cats were laughing at her, too.

Cats – always on the wrong side of a door
Solution – get a dog
Why didn’t you just get the other cats closed off in a different room first instead of engaging in their game?
That’s why you never let cats inside to begin with.
Things we should take from this lesson
1. Cats suck
2. cats are too stupid to think for themselves and too arrogant to take orders
3. Don’t own more than one cat at a time, you’re just asking for it
4. Disregard felines, acquire canine
5. natural selection, if the cat is dumb enough to march to its doom in a dark underground room, let alone dumb enough to follow a bunch of other cats into one, they deserve their fate. same goes for cats dumb enough to climb a tree and then refuse to come down.
Pro-tip: dogs are only as stupid as their master, cats are universally annoying.
^This with the minor exception of kittens (kittens are pretty nice and cool). Thats why whenever I get a kitten I enjoy it for a year and half before trading it in for a newer model
But puppies are better than kittens
That’s a given, i’m just trying to appease the cat folk a little
Beg to differ… kittens are MUCH easier to potty-train, since cats instinctively look for a place to bury their mess.
My cat does not fit any of the things on that list, and she gets along with my dog.
So do mine… they even cuddle with the dog!
Dogs are completely stupid. My sister took her dog to 3 different professional trainers and the damn things still jump on you the second you step into the door and trip you as you walk down the stairs.
I hate dogs.
Propably just went to wrong trainers. Not everyone who claims to be a dog trainer actually has any knowledge of dog training. And no, teaching the dog to roll doesn’t help with your problems.
It’s not the dog’s fault.
Even though I admit that my other dog is a bit more annoying and reckless than the other one, but all dogs can be controlled with the right owner.
Also, I wish I had a cat : <

Sheesh, what have you got in there?
5 cats? I feel your pain… There is a solution to this problem though, you will need a shovel, duck tape and a 2 thick cloth sacks. A car and marker is optional, but makes the task much easier.
- Begin by duck taping a sack to the shovel, this is important for making this job clean and quick.
- Whack each cat over the head with the shovel, if they twitch smack them again for good measure.
- Place each cat in your second bag and tie it shut.
- Now drive the shovel into the ground.
- Take the marker and write ‘I’ll give you 2 dollars to take a cat.’ and your phone number. If you don’t have a marker, wait until the cats make noise and briefly jab your hand into the cat sack, you can now write your message in blood.
- If somebody wants you to meet them or deliver the cats and you have a car, take the sack to the designated location and leave all of the cats to be the other person’s problem.
- If nobody wants a cat find a lake or river and throw the cat sack next to the river. Somebody will find the cats or they will claw the bag open and be too disoriented to find you.
- If there are no rivers or lakes. Find a Vietnamese person to cat sit, be sure to leave them cat sitting for at least 36 hours.
TL;DR
Pro tip: you can substitute just about any blunt object for the shovel. Leaving the cats with a Korean babysitter will usually speed up the process. Throwing the sack into the river eliminates several of the messier variables.

Pro tip: Nobody cares
No need to get touchy, I’m just very passionate about proper pest control.
Only pest I see here is you, so please get rid of yourself.
Thank you for reminding me why I never bother to read comments. Ignorant people who think they’re funny when they’re so obviously not. You do this so people will think you’re clever, but they just pity you. Thank God I have a life and will remember to ignore comments in the future.
OBJECTION! You had time to post about how you hate reading comments and provide a weak insult; I’d say this is sufficient proof that you don’t have a life. Not only did you have enough spare time to read the comments you hate reading so much, you had time to single one comment out and respond, becoming part of the culture you so passionately hate.
actually we have 7. 2 are mine, the rest belong to the rest of my family. Mine never went down
You walked into the proverbial “herding cats” situation. What the proverb doesn’t tell you is that a squirt gun works wonders.
So does an air horn.
just take yer .22 walk to the far corner aim outside the door at the plasic can you have filled with sand and fire. they’ll run like the devil himselfs chasing them.
But a cat door in your basement door. Problem solved.
If you have five cats, seek help. You may be an animal hoarder.
Also your house smells like crap, your friends hate coming over, and the neighbors hate you. Please just die alone already so we don’t have to come visit you anymore.
Bad news, we actually have 7 cats. only 2 of them are mine, the rest belong to other members of the family. Good news, the litter boxes are on the back porch (enclosed with a kitty door) Best news, they are mostly outside cats. They all come in at night.
