OT: A sad morning

As a cat owner, I feel for your loss. Our is a 4 year. he is independant, arrogant, comes to you when *he* wants. Yowls for food then refuses to eat it. Stands at the back door yowling to be let out, because it is too mcuh effort to push the catflap, and if not sleeping on top of the wardrobe, snuggles between me and the missus, and does his best to push me out of bed, with stretching and sharp claws.

But I would miss him to hell, if anything happened, or he went missing.

felt a similar way a couple of weeks ago when I had to have one of my chinchillas put to sleep, he had severe liver failure and was starving himself.

look on the bright side - at least they aren't suffering any more.

Bad luck Steve.

Take solace from the knowledge that you did the right thing.

:(

Animals can get right under your skin, that's for sure. Ok, they can be little beggars at times, but their simple and short lifes can be quit inspirational. We have a two year old blonde haired little girl and a four year old cat. The human is gowing up, the cat will never grow up. She - the cat - will always be a simple little uncomplicated creature. I kinda like that.

I'll alter that to "F*ck off" and add "and die".

I know what you mean - but you know what I mean as well ;-)

Well, put it this way.

"I'm hard me, the toughest cat in the whole street, I'm the boss, oh look a shiny thing, Meow, what was I saying" that just about sums up cats.

He'll send Greebo round otherwise.

You say you want a dog. Well, I have to tell you now, that any _responsible_ breeder / the RSPCA wouldn't let you anywhere near an animal - let alone let you take one home, with the attidude you've displayed on here.

What percentage of dogs are working dogs like guide dogs or sheepdogs etc? Less than 0.1%? Just as many cats will be kept as pest control on farms and factories etc

- maybe more.

Not only that, but 'hey, schools out!'

Was this the one sold as

' "Never" raced nor rallied'?

Presumably the quotation marks were regarded as being like crossing your fingers behind your back, since he'd already posted about his exploits while racing it.

It looks like his attack on Steve H is just childish jealousy.

That'd would have to be pretty big, considering your previous admission of porkiness then :)

euuuugh, you've seen their willys ! :)

I've seen a cat take down a rat. And a pigeon. And regularly catch rabbits. What do you think wildcats eat? Why do you think catfood comes in 'rabbit' flavour?

Cats main predators in the wild are Owls. If a cat can't face something down, it's got the sense to leg it. They don't hear owls. Despite that, I don't want to see owls killed.

I hope you do get the kind of dog that you train to chase cats. I hope you then breed, and find out that that sort of dog will end up mauling yours or someone else's children. I hope you discover that if you train a dog that way, you'll have trouble remaining top of the pack and actually controlling it. I hope that you get attached to your dog, and have to watch it be put down, because it's classified as a dangerous animal.

Then you can post here and tell us how it felt. And see how much sympathy you get.
