I mean, how hard is it to look after something that is less than 2ftx2ft? All you gotta do is feed it, water is, and keep it out of traffic!!!
Good Lord!! It was a baby... you couldnt keep it out of fvcking traffic??????....

I dont care if I make enemies on this board for saying this... but you suck for letting it get killed!!!!

Oh man, that sucks. :( Don't listen to Karen, kittens can be very sneaky. I don't know what I'd do if my kitty got out and got run over. It makes me sad every time I see one on the side of the road dead.

We live right by the road, and I thought our kitty got out a few days ago. We called for her and searched all around our apartment and even opened some food (which she always comes running for). She's a very talkative cat and usually meows when we call her name. Then I figured she some how much have gotten past me while I was taking out the trash, which didn't make sense because she's scared of going outside the apartment.

We searched in the dark for an hour around our building, calling her. I didn't know what to do because I didn't want to go snooping around my neighbors houses but that seemed like the most likely place she would be. I was really worried because we haven't gotten her a tag with our address on it yet.

I finally went inside and remembered that I'd seen her sniffing around the garbage can lid after I'd come back in from taking out the garbage so she must still be in the house. She hides in a hole in the couch, but I'd already checked there. I stuck my arm in as far as it would go and grabbed some fur.

That damn cat was hiding from us! I was so pissed at her. She must have been punishing us for putting her on a diet. :p

No, you have a legitimate reaction, and I entertained similar thoughts at first, but I'm sure he feels really bad and it's probably a bit too soon to say such things.

!Whew!
Thanks for understanding where I am coming from. A bit too early, though..??? Perhaps... but I am steamed!!! If he feels bad, he should. I mean, come on... this was a baby!!!!

Now before anyone asks... how dare I... here is what I do
so I am really mad at myself, too!! This was not a lifelong responsibility for an infant, or anything... it was a three pounder... needs food, water and someone to trust!!

I am mad, yes, and disappointed and very very sad!!

:(



wtf????



you need to read...i kept it in my backyard(8ft high fences) and in my fvcking room at night, and my mom AND dad are allergic to cats even though w used to have one. i feed it, i took care of it, i could have thrown it out, but did i?
jesus christ, can you be anymore of an asshat?

i even had the fvcking heart to post it on a god damn forum but only to get this?

wow your unbelievable.
i did EVERYTHING i could for this cat. but its my fault for wanting to keep up unless devils advocate wanted it?


christ woman

I usually am not one to agree with karenmarie...however anyone that thinks they can keep even a declawed cat outside and in a yard is freaking mentally challenged. Even small cats can run and scale a fence 8 foot high.

If you are keeping a domesticated animal near any kinds of roads you keep it indoors, if you are keeping a dog chained in a backyard you best be able to monitor it if something gets in the yard, etc.

You didn't help the animal in anyway other than shorten it's life span....almost all places have no-kill rescues for young animals.

On the farm 40 years ago cats did roam...but they grew up outside and taught by other outside cats. Sure Fluffy wants to roam around town, but so does a 4 year old kid. If you have removed Fluffy's claws, she is even less suited for outdoors as she can't climb always, can't defend at all, and more than likely will think a predator is a friend.

Get educated before you get another animal.

If you are living at home and you can't have a cat then don't. Move out and do your own stuff. You do realize that you can be convicted of animal abuse and neglect for this very incident in most states? It's like the people that cry they adopted a cat from being euthanized but then couldn't afford to have it checked up when it got an infection....a neighbor sees a lump, calls animal reg and they see the lump and owner gets a ticket and a chance to keep the animal on probation.

You keep talking about it was an *accident* and you have all the little bleeding hearts here crying on your side...but say that cat was a 6 year old you left in your backyard that got out and killed, do you really think 'Hey it was just an accident, so bounce' is going to fly?

Think please! It was totally your fault this animal died regardless of your circumstances, take responsibility at least even if you didn't intend it to happen.

STFU. fisrt of all, I wasn't gonna take it to the pound, if you saw ow many cats were there you would understand, it would have been put to sleep soon or later. Second of all, I didnt even want the cat to begin with, I know how to take care animals, because the cat ran over, I dont know jack sh1t about animals, your a moron.

I could have kicked the cat into the street the first morning I saw it and it could have a)starved, becuz it was skinny as hell, b)picked up by the animal control(nothing wrong with that but when you have more animals than you know what to do with, you cant keep em all alive...)c)mauled by another animal, a dog bcuz everyone of my neighbors have dogs, big dogs.

But what did I do? I got the cat, fed it, put a sign at th eentrance of my neighborhood stating "FOUND SMALL CAT, CALL 903-***-****" I let it sleep in my room, when my rents are allergic to them anyways and went around asking almost all the people that live in my block if it was theirs or if they wanted it, I even offered to pay for the shots. I posted about it on here offering to DRIVE 3 HOURS just to get it a home.

I have to tend to the real world and goto work(12 hours shifts every other day) so I come home and its not in the back yard. I cant keep it anywhere else unless I throw it out. So now it got ran over, and Im a retarded, stupid, ignorant fool because it got out and got ran over?

wow, you people who are flaming me need to stfu and atleast realize that I did everything I could and a HELL of alot more than most others would.


christ you people are rediculous.

you have so many words spelled so incorrectly, as wrong as improper uses...strike the use of moron from your vocabulary except in response to a mirror.

1) I said animal rescue not a pound....someone that knows *a lot* about animals should know this difference.

2) How much do you really know? Seriously, you may have had animals, but was how you raised them correct? My education is in Zoology mostly, I worked for a vet for 2-3 years that was also the vet of the city zoo....I learned alot about animals and helped in the care/surgery of them....but what would I know, other than a 8 FOOT FENCE MAY AS WELL NOT EVEN BE THERE TO CONTAIN A CAT.

3) the cat got killed due to you and you alone. If you didn't want the cat you should never have taken it.

I could have kicked the cat into the street the first morning I saw it and it could have a)starved, becuz it was skinny as hell, b)picked up by the animal control(nothing wrong with that but when you have more animals than you know what to do with, you cant keep em all alive...)c)mauled by another animal, a dog bcuz everyone of my neighbors have dogs, big dogs.

well it beats your way of getting it ran over. Your point c) is moot as other than dogs (and wow BIG dogs even), most predators can get in your yard that would want to....the cat would be there with less chance to run quickly.

But what did I do? I got the cat, fed it, put a sign at th eentrance of my neighborhood stating "FOUND SMALL CAT, CALL 903-***-****" I let it sleep in my room, when my rents are allergic to them anyways and went around asking almost all the people that live in my block if it was theirs or if they wanted it, I even offered to pay for the shots. I posted about it on here offering to DRIVE 3 HOURS just to get it a home.

again wow...good job, but through you and you alone the cat came into harm, keep in mind if it was a child...what would your excuse be then?

I have to tend to the real world and goto work(12 hours shifts every other day) so I come home and its not in the back yard. I cant keep it anywhere else unless I throw it out. So now it got ran over, and Im a retarded, stupid, ignorant fool because it got out and got ran over?

so you have a full time job. Jeesh not like half the rest of the country doesn't yet seems to keep their animals mostly from being smeared across the interstate. You are not a fool because it got ran over, you are a fool because you thought a fence would keep a cat in a yard.

wow, you people who are flaming me need to stfu and atleast realize that I did everything I could and a HELL of alot more than most others would.

You sure did, MOST other's would not have gotten the cat killed.

Pat yourself on the back.

christ you people are rediculous.

do you spend your entire day correcting people grammar? if your that worried about my spelling then care to tutor me asshole?

who are you to judge me and say I dont know how to take care of an animal. i have raised dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters without any other problems whatsoever. but mr zoology here expects everyone to do the things you would do. do you like trying to make fools out of people due to their spelling? gg

the cat is dead, in all honesty im not gonna sit here and argue with you anymore over an accident. quit making comparisons like "if it where a child", ITS NOT so dont try to sit there and turn it around. the cat is dead, write me down in your book as a cruel person to animals, i dont care, its over with.

I could care less about you seriously, I doubt you add much to society as a whole. The fact is though if you are going to call other's morons, you best be in a better intelligence situation.

I am judging you based on your assessment here, which you provided. This is not the agree with derrickperry forum.... You still think you are not at fault and that you helped this animal. It's like a parent claiming they raised a child 17 years and backed over them with a car and it was just an accident.
It's still gross negligence and you are getting extremely defensive as you know it was. You including the hamster is laughable, but regardless of raising animals with 'no problems' perhaps you were merely lucky or perhaps like many pet owners just clueless. I would love to know ages at their deaths, but I am sure you will go look up nice long lifespans and use those in defense (set shields to max, must defend my errors at all costs).

the cat is dead, in all honesty im not gonna sit here and argue with you anymore over an accident. quit making comparisons like "if it where a child", ITS NOT so dont try to sit there and turn it around. the cat is dead, write me down in your book as a cruel person to animals, i dont care, its over with.

Yeah it's over the cat is dead because of your negligence. gratz.

The above sentence and the rest of your post makes my head want to explode. Also, alot is not a word. If you're going to be a grammar nazi don't make mistakes of your own. Finally, the cat is not a child, so please stop using that analogy. It is by far the worst I have seen in OT, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.

Derrickperry, I'm sorry to hear about your cat.

Let the nitpicking commence!!

No crap there fruitcake...I am not going off calling other's morons though with 90% of my words wrong and my grammar butchered. I know about a lot (wow what a find), wrong above should have been well....and the rest of that quote is taken from another section.

Well I never said a cat was a child, however, they same laws affect both. You must provide veternary care for a pet, you must provide vaccines, you must treat injuries, etc. So what you are saying is it's ok to be cruel to animals and negligent?

What analogy would you prefer? There aren't many other ones suited to this.

I am sure if this were reported to the local animal reg/rights investigators he would be fined. Keeping a cat on inside a fence as a way to secure it is about as stupid as leaving your house open and telling a dog to 'stay'.

LMK when your done trying to win the e-penis contest here. I never said to agree with me, but to simply come out and say I didn't care properly for that cat is pretty stupid. If you feel the need to call the animal reg. on me, then do whatever floats your boat.

my turtles, i had for 2 years then I let them go, oh noes are you gonna call animal cruelty on that too because I let them out in the wild after keeping them indoors:shocked: for 2 years.

my first cat lived to be 8 years old but went into a ceisure, then got very sick and died. i have a golden retreiver as of now and she is 7 years old this december and healthy as a horse.

adopted a 4 year old cat named maggie and kept her until we had to get rid of her because of my parents allergies.

few more dog to name but its pointless to keep replying to your comments.

why would i lie about ages of animals ive owned to try and convince you that im a good pet owner?



sorry if my grammar/typos are high enough class for you, i hope it doesnt get me sent to hell



have a nice day

No sh*t, Shirley, but you are the one calling him on his grammar. Yours isn't much better, so let it go.

Where did I say that? Pulling things out of your a** makes you look stupid. I have pets of my own and I care very much about them. In fact, I've paid roughly $600 for veterinary care over the last three months. I don't have a job while I'm going to school, so it would've been a lot cheaper to put him to sleep, but I didn't. So don't lecture me about caring for animals.

No I called him on his grammar, once he stated other's were morons. My grammar is excellent....other than typos (rather than obvious misspellings) from rushing posts. Your point is moot on me....nice try though...

How is this relavent to DerrickPerry? Also chances are Mom and Dad covered your bills as if you don't have a job where did the so-called $600 in three months come from, also what was it that was so costly....go figure it out and get back with us to add some fiber to your story...the fact that you brought up putting them to sleep as an option shows it probably never happened.

Why even use an analogy? Let the facts speak for themselves.

Exactly he grossly neglected the animal. I stated that, he said it was just an accident...a misunderstanding, so I used the analogy to show that you can't call everything 'accidents'. An animal died through neglect. It would probably be considered criminal if investigated. That is the facts.

He posts a rather spotty history with animals...those turtles he released probably died pretty quick in the wild. An 8 year old cat is young....another he gave away...a 7 year old golden is about mid aged, should be healthy.
