Mad Dog: This isn’t a bitch just a way for me to say that I took your kitten. You were passed out drunk in front of The Granite and I unhooked her from the leash and brought her home. She was hungry dirty and crying, I’ve fed her and took her to the vet to get her shots. She’s healthy and doing well. I hope that you read this or that someone tells you this so you know she’s ok.

Umm…you stole a dude’s cat? Do you plan on giving it back? Maybe you should have taken in the guy and let the cat go free.
seems to me that the cat is getting better care now.
Yup, keep the cat. Good for you.
Yeah, I agree too…it’s a happy story for the cat, and the new owner…but a little sad for the guy who may have really liked his cat, even if he couldn’t care for it properly.
Morally grey is right. Now I’m all sad for the dude.
apparently the rightful owner wasn’t doing such a good job of taking care of himself either, nevermind looking after an animal.drunken & unconscious in public, while his cat was dirty and starving… yeah, they are both better off now, if you ask me
Well, it’s just that it’s pretty easy to find a stray cat that comes with a belly full of worms and ears full of mites. It may not have been sick because of abuse or neglect on MadDog’s part. It just sucks to go to sleep, possible in a pool of your own vomit, and awaken to find your new friend has disappeared and didn’t even leave her number so I could call her.
Miles, rarely do I laugh out loud, but you’re a helluva funny fuck. I may even be laughing over laugh, if that’s even possible. It’s a strange sound, all throaty and gurgly, it’s scaring my cat… Wait, puss, where are you going? What’s in that bag, what’s going ON here?? Can’t we talk about this? Puss? Don’t leave me, puss!Puss? *sob* She’s… gone.
maybe the OP can return to the scene and leave an explanatory note, with an e-mail address/contact info, advising the drunken cat owner how to retrieve his kitty (if he so desires)… but i’m thinking the cat should also have a say in this. if i were puss, i’d be curled up cozy and warm in my new home, and not look back.
Who the fuck in their right mind would go out on a drunk and bring a cat along. Are you retarded or really retarded. Good thing a good samaritan came along and helped the crying, dirty, hungry kittie. Jesus it boggles the mind sometimes what people are allowed to own / take care of. Get a stuffed toy you asshat, they don’t need feeding or love or shelter or a place to sleep.
How can anybody neglect or abuse a kitten like that, what the fuck is wrong with people.
I assume the guy lives on the street and his cat was probably a stray he found. If so, the cat may have been sick and hungry well before this guy found it. The cat is definately better off, but I don’t know if the guy is a villian. Definately an unfit pet owner….but maybe not such a bad guy if he was trying to save a stray kitten from certain dog-devoured death.
You’re not alone, Miles. Everyone posting here, including the OP, assumes a lot.
And you know what happens when you make an assumption. You make an ass out of you and umption.
Listen folks, I don’t give a tinkers fuck about the guys ” situation ” any person homed or homeless does not equate into a pet owner. That’s my assumption. You have to be able to take care of it / him / her. And oh yeah ” trying to save a stray kitten from certain dog devoured death ” now that’s an assumption, no offense Miles 🙂
Why do you assume the man was homeless? We’ve all had embarrassing but pretty innocent shit happen to us in our lives… maybe the kitten was a gift for a hateful bitch early in the evening. Add booze to broken heart and … well, you just never know. And was it a white cat? They really like to roll in dirt…All we know for sure is the OP stole the cat.
No offence taken Burning Man, I know I am making stuff up. The OP doesn’t give us much to go on so we make assumptions. And look how much fun we are having because of it. Kay you are right, all we know for certain is that the OP stole some guys cat. I assumed the guy and the cat were buddies living on the streets because most people don’t take their grungy cat for a walk when they are on the verge of passing out, but people who live on the street might settle down for the night in front of the granite with their malnourished cat and a bottle of booze. But your idea was good too.
And maybe he was wearing beer goggles and didn’t realise he was trying to take home a cat.
@Plonk, you’re hilarioushaha, beer goggles guy takes home puss in boots, too funny
i am not the OP, nor do I know the OP, but I witnessed this situation. the owner of the cat is a known homeless man in the downtown area….that, in my opinion, doesn’t prevent him from owning/taking care of a cat, but in this situation, the behaviour witnessed by multiple people at the bar that night does. First of all, this was not a stray cat…it was a very young kitten, i would guess a month old, or not much older. Secondly, while the ‘owner’ appeared to have a lot of affection for the kitten, he was drunk to the point of falling down, repeatedly crushing the kitten (which was tucked inside his shirt) between himself and the bar. (he began the night inside the bar, or at least he was there when i arrived.)Outside, where he was passed out in the street, the kitten was visibly upset and distressed, but again, the ‘owner’ was too far gone to notice not only that, but the fact that the kitten was taken from off his chest. i agree that this is a morally grey area, and i feel for the man who has lost something he cares about. i hope the kitten is in a good home, and i hope that the original owner learns something about the responsibility he took on to raise and care for another life, a responsibility which he did not fulfill.
