Question about Cats

[Cleverness]

I can't help reading this thread and thinking it's a troll thread. I mean, I can't imagine a pet owner being this stupid.

[QUOTE=SubzeroDiabolos;3951498]I've got another question now, why the fuck keep raging. If you think I didn't feel bad I wouldn't have made OP in the first place. Now I let her in, and I will most likely go see the vet if prices are reasonable.

But I am not shitting you when I say that means i'm gonna eat kraft dinner for the next 2 weeks if I even get a chance to.


How fucking thoughtful of you. May as well find a better home for it right now.

Oh I see how it is, get a pet and thats it, ever stop to think that it may cost alittle to give it a decent life. Just stop feeding the cat, one can hope it will kill and eat you.

Also if you had felt bad, you would not have needed to make the OP. Knob jockey.

I think its horrible that you did that in the first place. After reading your last post, it sounds like you didn't want to ever let it back in, but only get people telling you its ok on here. If you can't afford all of the worst case scenarios that come with a pet (or a child even), you shouldn't be getting one.

[Silenka]

What Sath said, basically. I have 10 cats at the moment (3 of which were surprise kittens), if any of them started to have the issues your cat does we would certainly find a responsible solution rather than ditching the cat.

Also, animals can change their behavior the same way humans do, you may not see any rhyme or reason for it but there most likely is one. You're supposed to be the intelligent and wise animal with higher brain function, don't condemn a helpless pet who need your care to keep on living. There is certainly a solution, it just needs to be found. There are plenty of things you can do (many of which people have already outlined).

Clearly you never watched Animal Cops on Animal Planet

I thought there was a standard internet rule of no trolling when cats are involved, cats are fucking awesome. I mean not as awesome as dogs, but still, you don't fuck with cats.

[edit] if you aren't willing to pay the price when shit happens to your pet, don't have a pet.

^

if paying to take it to the vet means eating kraft for two weeks, then you probably can't afford a cat.


You will not get pity from anyone, you just proved that you are not really in a type of financial situation where you should have a cat in the first place. ( not only that , but a douche considering you just admitted the cat isn't even 2 yet and you threw her out).

Dude I can't even watch that commercial with the sad animals and the sad song playing in the background. I'm a grown man and that stuff almost brings me to tears.

Also, if you want to initiate aggressiveness in a cat, rub their belly a lot. That is the number one way to get a cat to attack you. Granted, its normally play bites and the like, but if they don't trust you... ouch

As far as I can tell though, cats like staring contests, unlike dogs who tend to go apeshit if you go eye to eye with them too long. I usually win the contest too. ^.^ Whenever I stare at my cat and he stares back, after about half a minute he starts closing his eyes and looking content, then falls asleep.

Then again, hes a ragdoll, and a rather playful one at that.

And seriously, you need to learn to handle situations better if you overreact to something that badly. It's a cat, you can keep it away from your 5 year old if needed, you can give it to a shelter if needed, you can teach it not to attack if needed. It's. a. cat. it's not a demon, its not a killer bunny from vanadiel, its just a freaking cat.

I mean sheesh, havent you ever heard of a water bottle? or loud noises? there's plenty of ways to stop a cat on a rampage, and other ways to train them not to attack. I know having a whirling blur of claws attacking you doesn't make the easiest situation to not overreact to, but it's still not going to do anything more serious than a papercut.

just acting as crazy as my mom, every few years she gets the crazy idea she wants a small dog breed, gets a puppy, it starts whining because it's a puppy, and she gives it away because it whines, without listening to reason.

Look around for different vets in the area. You will notice prices will be vastly different, and for something as simple as a flee treatment... you don't really need to bring the cat to best/most expensive vet in the area.


The one vet near me charges $75 for a check up. Another vet that's only another 15 minutes driving is $50 for a check up. My fiance's grandmother brings her cat to a place called "Friend's of Animals" that do a lot of low cost animal procedures for a discounted price. They mainly help the elderly who can no longer afford expensive procedures.

Look around and I'm sure you can find a low cost option.

The Sarah Mcloxgcgchgclin commercial?

FUCK.

I dive for the remote whenever that commercial comes on. I can't watch it.

THAT FUCKING ONE RIGHT THERE. Seriously everytime, it's so fucking depressing.

I mainly can't watch it for the fact that the song is so retarded for that commercial. Hotel rooms have nothing to do with pets. That song was written for a human, so whoring that song out for a pet commercial just seems stupid to me.

[Ksandra]

oh man, I watch "It's Me or the Dog" a lot and animal cops comes right after that. People do some seriously retarded stuff.

Recently there was one where a dog had a hip injury so the owners just put it outside rather than pay the vet bills. It wouldn't leave their front step, and they just walked by it and ignored it hoping it would go away. It was covered in mange and everything ;_;

Thank god the neighbor reported it, and kept sneaking over to give it food.

That commercial lead to the adoption of 2 of the cats we have now lol. Fiance was sitting in tears in front of the TV. As soon as she mentioned the commercial I knew exactly which one it was lol.

She had to immediately go and rescue a cat. Of course the one she wanted came in with a friend (another cat). Long story short we ended up with both of them lol.

this is true, there are places that cater to those with low income too. it shouldn't be too hard to get the cat fixed up right. and now you know never to let a fucking dog in the house when the cat is around, or face the consequences.

I really think this guy was just misguided. while it's a pretty dumb thing to do, I can see assuming that a cat will survive outside, and then having second thoughts, and then asking on BG because you're worried about the poor thing.

at least I hope to god that's the case.

[Corrderio]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates that commercial, every time I see it I have to keep looking over my shoulder to see if my cat is still asleep on my bed.

In order for it to just be misguided the guy would have to have pretty much no higher than a 5th grade education.

Even the stupidest motherfuckers in this country know there is a difference between a domesticated animal bred for captivity and a wild animal.

So, OP, are you stupider than the stupidest motherfuckers around? Or are you just a fucking waste of oxygen destined to wallow in your own self-pity and failure? Nobody this fucking stupid will ever amount to anything in life.

Ever.

[Ksandra]

I have to admit though, I spoil my cats rotten. Anything they want they can have, including my toes at 7 o'clock in the morning.

[Corrderio]

Only thing I do to spoil my cat is let him sleep on the bed/sleep in the bed with me. I tried giving him toys but he doesn't have much interest in them.

He likes laser pointers though... if I ever get a job I think I'll get a cheap 5 dollar one and have him go nuts with it.
