okay, maybe now that you made this known, don’t be surprised if kitty don’t come home one of these days. or if it does, and drops dead, then you know buddy got pissed off at you. fuck, let the friend feed the cat, better than killing birds or you having to buy food for it.let the person be nice to your cat, even if you aren’t.
Boy, can I relate. My neighbour, insists on giving mine milk. Who also happens to be lactose intolerant. So after above pussy has had her fill of the milk, she so loves, I’m stuck with cleaning up her back-end. Besides the nuisance of bathing her, she also gets extreme stomach aches. Please, folks do not feed the animals. Mine nor others.
LS…what are you going on about. Read the thread, Please and Thanks!!!
Keep your cat inside? That’ll solve your problem right there. There’s absolutely no reason for cats to go outside — cats who stay indoors are healthier, and all the research I’ve done on the matter says it’s best to keep kitty inside and that they don’t NEED to go outside.
Mine don’t go outside — never did and they’re managing better than any cat I’ve ever had that DID go outside.
yes puss, i read it, and the same still goes. if buddy gets too mouthy to neighbors, one day the cat will be found dead, it happens a lot.
Stop letting your cat outside dumbshit. Be happy that your neighbour isn’t a psycho feeding your pet antifreeze.
Not a hope in Hell, will my cat(I’ve had a few) live Totally indoors. EwwwwwwwwwwwwEEE. If you are going to have a pet in the city, so be it( they will adapt) Mine doesn’t live in that environment. I would never own a pet that is totally house-bound….for the simple fact, I believe they too, like us, need to smell the roses. Mine does.
Swampasshole…do NOT and I repeat, do not ever ever tell me what to do with my animals….hope your takin notes you asss fuck!
While I’m on a tirade about my animals. I’ve taught them quite enough about anti-freeze. thanks…They wouldn’t touch that shit, if it was wrapped up in caviar…Which I have.
Apparently, I’m not finished…My neighbour has a CAT…she just happens to like mine more. Jee, I wonder why? You can’t get close to ten feet of hers, yet hers want to move in with me. I have no problems with her cat sitting on my lap, while mine watches………..
There is nothing more pathetic than someone, almost always a single female, who turns their mistrust of, and hostility towards, their fellow humans into some sort of overblown and misguided love for their domesticated “pet”…A recent MaClean’s poll showed that although 40% of Canadians support euthanasia for the elderly and infirm…only 17% support it for animals…
This demanding and whingy tone of “don’t feed my cat” is beyond the pale! Cats are not gluttons like dogs…if your cat is willing to eat food from strangers, then you are either underfeeding it, or worse yet, trying to force it into an unhealthy and ultimately fatal (for YOU as well!) “vegan” diet!!
Allowing a domesticated cat to roam freely into your neighbours property is not only unethical amd irresponsible… but because of the diversity of our population, and the majorities’ dislike of “pets” roamong free and umfettered …it’s tantamount to animal abuse!
If you allow your enslaved animal to have just a “taste” of freedom, and then roam wildly throughout the neighbourhood, defecating at will, striking and killing native bird speacies, destroying the cfarefully planted gardens of our seniors…you are just as guilty as the homeowner that is forced to utilize pest control poison or traps…
LOL…thank god you had a cat litter box, that you shat into…Meow! Have you thanked your kitty today?
Maybe it’s you, that shouldn’t be allowed to shit, nilly-willy wherever, in Gods green acres.
Come to think of it, euthanasia sounds like a good tan for you. I’ve got tons of wood to get that fire going.
🙂
be nice now puss, after all, this is a vent forum. i know people that have had their kitties, and some dogs poisoned by less nice people. if you really care for an animal/companion, you will try your best to make sure they are 100% safe. my two blackballs, never go outside, nor do they even want to. being brought in by me, as stray, starving critters, why would they desire to be anywhere else.i even tried to get them out with the leash and halter thing, uhuh, no way in hell, they just try to come back in, where they know they are safe and well cared for.
Keep your cat indoors. Problem solved. Theres to many cats running around, making other new cats and tearing up peoples gardens. If you dont want your neighbor to feed your cat, start feeding your cat, start feeding it better food and keep the damn thing indoors. Its just that simple.
You say “Ewww” to keeping you cat indoors? Because of the litter box, I assume? Do you think your neighbors like cleaning up your cats shit out of their garden? Or having their plants ruined from your cats piss?
If you cant stomach the simple task of cleaning a litter box, or properly taking care of a pet then you shouldnt have one. Obviously your neighbor is doing something right that you’re not or your cat wouldnt be going over there. Maybe if you let it in the house when its hungry, it wouldnt go to your neighbors.
Didn’t read your post before I wrote mine, Bad. Well said.
PK, while I have no issues if you want to keep your cats inside forever, saying that a cat has no real NEED to be outside ever because they are healthier and better off inside is like saying that dolphins lead pretty awesome lives in seaworld and have no real NEED to be in the ocean.
While I know that indoor cats have longer lifespans, they are still living beings and no creature really wants to be kept in a cage forever, even if it is a nice cushy house.
And BMF some cats actually are just as gluttonous as dogs, and will just east as much as you give them. I had a cat who found a bag of cat food in a closet and tore it open so she could just sit there and eat all day.
Puss your crazy
My cat will eat anything and everything put in front of her and will continue to eat until it is taken away or finished. The result in her purging is usually awesome piles of puke found hidden in the only places you will step in the morning.
I would be super upset to find out someone is helping her with her binge and purge lifestyle.
Poor pussy.
Think of the money you’ll save in cat food. Now if we can only do that with our kids.
“Puss your crazy”
Some days, I like it like that:)
Vegan? Not me or my animals? Bring on that T-bone…Purrrrr!
Anyone else getting that creepy cat lady feeling…?
I was hoping that this might be a dirty metaphor. I guess not.
I am just really curious how anyone can teach a cat about the perils of anti-freeze. Now that’s an After School Special I just have to see…or is it a “The More You Know” clip?
OOOOOHHH did they come up with a cat version of “Don’t You Put it in Your Mouth!!”

MEEEEOOOOWWW Anti-Freeze is bad MEEEEOOOOOWWW
der?!!! we have a new mod and some crazy dude writing a thesis^^
I saw the thesis guy…I didn’t open the thread as I sort of suspected it was going to be rather out of hand. Some of his bulleted points were non-sensical to begin with and I have learned that you cannot make a crazy person see logic or sense without having to beat them about the head repeatedly 😀
What do you mean a new mod…did kay break the last one?
the playground was too rough for mod 3…apparently we have a newbie but only time will tell
Yeah this playground can get pretty rough…I like to think it looks much like that Play Safe commercial with Astar the Robot who can put his arm back on…that smug bastard.
Besides…who designs a playground with spinning saw blades and open electrical currents all over the place??
ME…that’s who, though my murderous designs fell short of my goal of destroying that smug robot once and for all.
