Pets & their worth to you ?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Why should cats be allowed to roam outside when ever they want, causing all sorts of havoc in the local neighbourhood?? No other pet animal is allowed that freedom.

Still think the "lady" should be held accountabe for the death of the cat on the end though... some people just don't know how to mind their own business

Where was the cat when she saw it though? If it's on public property then it's her business.

our cat got into a fight (i presume with another cat) on sunday night & lost some of his nose & his left ear was definately chewed & bloodied, he seemed ok to me happy to eat, happy to walk over to the park (he thought he was a dog i reckon) when i took littlebayman out for a kick or a hit etc, which we did for a little while on monday, well this lady obviously with good thoughts says to lb yesterday while i was at work, ''that cat doesn't look right i'm ringing the rspca & they can pick him up'' which they did they said ''his nose could get infected so we'll take him & put him to sleep'' while i understand the lady was thinking of the cat i would have thought i would at least get a call back with a proper diagnosis from one of their vets before any decision was made....anyway it's too late now & we're both a little emotional atm as we are fond of animals........................................so how much does your pet(s) mean to you ?


RIP DESI

Sincere Condolences Bayman
We had our 'Ralph' put down yesterday, Maltese Shitzu who would have been 16 in a couple of months and i dont think i have cried so much in all my life
Pets mean the world to lots of people.

We have cats also, and we got a cat enclosure net attached to the house so they can run around 'outside' and have their fun but also remain safe at the same time. Our main concern was them getting into fights and contracting Feline AIDS.

When will the cats learn and start wearing protection and stop sharing needles ti stop the spread of aids... and who was the 1st cat to shag a monkey to get aids on the 1st place???

But caged cat runs ftw imo

mr wedgie,
seeing you think i am that bad a person with no responsibilities or care for animals etc, please ban me from your site for life as i don't want to be part of your site & its dictatorship & you can go & get ****** thankyou & to think i've stuck up for you in the past pfft

I don't think you're a bad person. A bad pet owner yes, but not a bad person.
Sometimes people have to be cruel to be kind and I'm just telling you as it is if you like it or not, there's no need to go off on another tangent and leave a football site or start ranting about a dictatorship and being abusive just because you started a topic and someone gave a frank and honest opinion in response to help you understand where you went wrong.
If for eg I started a topic about grammer and some people told me where I'd gone wrong I'd take all thoughts on board, mind you there would be some bloody long replies!
Now chins up and get yourself a some sea monkeys.

Where you on Street Talk last night mate?

I'd call your parents more irresponsible for not using a condom.

LOL. That's a cracker of a line

It's not illegal for your cat to be outside or wander off your property, but it is irresponsible, selfish and inconsiderate to allow it. If bayman's cat, and the cat it was scruffing with had been controlled, then the cat would still be here.

The woman who complained is well within her rights to report it. It must have been a bad enough injury to be reported and then taken away and put down.

The sooner cats are controlled the same as dogs the better. Better for the cat, the wildlife it kills and the neighbors of cat owners. Too many people buy a cat, dump it outside, and feed it once a day, and are oblivious to what it does the rest of the 23 hours and 55 minutes.

My two dont really wander outside the confines of the house boundaries nowdays which is good, however unfortunately we have neighbours who are irresponsible and allow their 5 cats out at all hours and they wander into MY yard, which once resulted in my cat having surgery to a nasty fight.

Yes, i agree with cats being registered and not being allowed out at night.

It probably would have avoided the predicament that Bayman is in at the moment too..

Mind you, if your cat was wearing a collar with your contact number or if it was microchipped, the RSPCA couldnt have put your cat down without first contacting you anyway. So thats why I reckon something is fishy...

My two Beagles spend the bulk of their nights howling at two feral cats that live in our area. I've hit them with water from the hose, a spray bottle with water and citronella mix. I hate them.

I hate cats and I'm not too fond of the mother-in-law either. Who buys a kid a cat for their birthday without asking the parent?

[The Sleeping Giant]

I once lived next door to an old lady who had a massive Tom cat, that was always covered in scars, had half a nose. One afternoon the RSPCA knocked on my door and asked if I knew why the cat next door was covered in blood. They wanted to know if my dog had attacked it. Was very confused how it was my problem if the cat DID enter the dogs backyard.

Golf balls work well. Scares the crap out of them when they hit the fence.

We have 2 Border Collies - one is 19 months old and the other is 13 weeks old.

They mean everything to us and are great dogs, well trained (the older one particularly) and they seem to live a pretty good life with lots of love.

Maybe call the rspca and see if they will put the mother in law down...

Did the cat ever go outside of your property?
When it went for a walk to the park did you have a leash on it?
Were you home when it was involved in its fight?

desexed, i can't say no but i can say he never went very far

no leash as the park (school oval) is directly opposite the house, he would just walk over with us & usually would lay in front of the stumps until we moved him away in the cricket nets

i would presume so & i would presume i was snoring at the time

Well if that's the case the pet solely died because you are an irresponsible pet owner. If Little Bayman wants to throw a brick through anyone's window it should be yours.
Cats if allowed outside without supervision are a pest and owners of cats are allowed to do that should be prosecuted and have the pet removed immediately IMHO.
The woman at no way is in any fault, you are 100% responsible for the demise of this poor creature. Please don't get another one.

Wow...I thought it was wrong to troll on here, especially by a moderator.
Seriously though that is one of the most insensitive posts I have ever read on any forum I have been on. You ought to be ashamed of yourself...
If that is your opinion, keep it to yourself rather than trying to make bayman feel worse than he does now.

Please don't tarnish him with our brush.
