If I ever lost my mind long enough to allow a stinky cat into my house I would find myself lucky and well shut of it if that danged thing ever got lost.
Where I live, the closest Coyote Den.
:: the closest Coyote Den ::
That’s a disco nickname, right?
Cats > people, and brother, the gap is getting wider every day. I’d drive a long way to get mine back.
Our cats have a very important job on the farm. They keep mice out of the barn. The dogs have a different job, they keep the coyotes and bobcats away from the barn. The Great Horned Owl that lives nearby is a bit of a problem, but the cats are very aware of his presence. Cats only very rarely disappear, but becoming Coyote chow is only one of several possibilities.
I think that you should round up some busybodies and demand a law that requires everyone to live like you. And, I don’t send $19 a month to the Humane Society either. Sue me.
I’m with you, I’ll take the companionship from mine over today’s brainwashed stupidity any day.
Nice story.
Was never a fan of cats til some fool gave one to us on Xmas morning. Really. Who does that?
Anyway. When the old lady left the cat was left with me. Best Darned pet I ever had! Cats are Cool!
Dog lover here, but if I had a cat...yes I would go and get it.
I am of the same mentality. I won’t go out of my way that far not even if it’s a great mouser.
we were traveling across the state a year or two ago...stopped at a NY thruway rest stop - trucks cars you name it - all loud and all moving every which way....a young lady opened her car door after, only to have that cat make a break across the lot, through a small fence hole and into the woods.....I don’t think I ever saw anything so heartbreaking - the girl was terribly upset
Holy crap, I actually agree with you on something, Stu.
My cat is named Toonces. He can drive himself home, as long there aren’t any precipitous drops on the way.
I agree.
I would do it without second thought.
Across the coals of hell and back.
I’d rive about one revolution of all the tires. If I don’t find the cat that way, it will make it back on it’s own somehow, sometime.
Anyone want to go to Norway to pick up this cat?
I would suspicion she's - strange.
It doesn't say whether she's litter-trained...
Yep, I wouldn't walk across the road to find a cat. I grew up on a farm, if the cats didn't fend for themselves, they died. I would never let one of them in to my house.
Working animals are different than pets. I was talking about pets. The thread is about pets. Presumably the poster I berated was talking about pets.
I think you should can the hyperbole and bother to understand the actual conversation you jumped in on.
I’m sure we agree on a lot. Just not Trek.
Aren’t you special. I believe that I was talking about the same species, does this mean that you have a different set of rules for domestic animals, wild animals, and house pets? Where can I get a set of these rules?
