A dirty lurker's FFFC...

lissah23

I have an awful one. Before we moved we had three cats. Two I gave to my aunt who doesn't have them anymore, who knows what happened to them. The third got out one day because that was his only goal in life it seemed and once, he actually managed to dart out. I went after him, he ran. He didn't come back. I left food and water out, his bed, nothing. A week later one of our neighbors (condo) asked us if we had lost our cat because she knew we had one and that she had taken him in and how sweet he was. I told her no. He is probably still happy at her place and I don't feel guilty about it at all.

You posted this because . . . ? Did you think we'd say "congratulations"?

Ok?  What's the point of this?

What is FFFC?

And that's really sad.

For this board, this is anything but FF.

Just addressing the last scenario, if you didn't intentionally set your cat loose outside, why in holy he|| would you not want him back?!

IdigDirt

Wow, you are such a wonderful person. The fact that you don't seem to care one bit about the lives you were responsible really makes me want to be just like you. I sincerely hope those you love treat you with the same kindness and respect that you treated your animals with.

IdigDirt

Also (I'm sure this is mud but I'm playing anyways for some reason) why would a delightful person like yourself even waste your time lurking on this board? That time could be much better spent worshiping in your Mike Vick shrine or do you just come on to get a good giggle when someone posts about a pet dying?

This.

I am a dog person and am severely allergic to cats, but I would have taken that poor baby in before I ever returned him to you.  How could you deny he was yours?!

 

Sick. I'm sure the cat is much better off without you.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure my kids will try to give me away to the neighbours at least once in their lifetimes.

Oh come on, it's not like I trained them to fight each other.  I'm sure they all found lovely homes.

 And FWIW, I lurk over here because I replaced my 3 cats with 2 dogs and a goldfish.  I'm sure I'll have a question that will pop up eventually.

Umm...you don't "replace" pets. You replace broken or lost objects. You don't get rid of lives you're already responsible for just so you can run out and find your new favorite thing of the moment.

I hope your DH replaces you with a taller skinnier woman (who doesn't roll up her jeans for a family photo), and throws you to the curb like idiot that you are.  You don't "replace" pets.  Who does this?  Someone who is fucked up!  Someone like YOU!

LOL I hope he does too.  I can't handle him on top of 2 kids and 3 pets.  Maybe he'll get half of them in the divorce...that would be awesome!

You have a problem Mandi7782?

Why?  Because I take responsibilities of living things that I take in as my pets and don't dispose of them b/c something better comes along?   

I sure hope you all are vegetarians.

hahahahahaha!

 

You need to calm down.

Mandi's got 99 problems, but a pet ain't one.

You are a douchecanoe!  Pets that we take in to our homes aren't disposable.  Ding ding ding, there is no comparisons here to the animals that are eaten to YOUR PETS!  It's called the Circle of Life, woman, get a clue!  You make no sense in this statement.

 

I consider it more recycling them than disposing of them.

And now I have the Lion King song stuck in my head.

Calm down...if not, what are you going to do about it?  Seriously you're  an azzhat just as much as the OP!

 

Um...quote fail.

Is a goldfish a family member? They really never seem to show much emotion. If not, what IS the threshold for when an animal is considered a family member? Do you go by size? Mental capacity? Just wondering!

Actually, a lot of women on this board ARE, myself included. I'd say a higher percentage of pesties are vegetarian than the general population (4% of Americans in general are). The pesties who aren't, I can promise, have at least thoughtfully considered their diets in relation to animals.

And hey, count me in on not knowing how someone can feel good about dumping a member of their family. Trust me, I hand feed and medicate and spend a ton of money on one of my special needs cats at the moment. Is it time consuming, annoying and exhausting? Yes. But I'd do it for the rest of my life if it means I get to spend more time with him, because I love him that much.
