Oliver
April 2, 1989 - September 29, 2009
You blessed our lives for 20 years, were always a joy, and the "best boy that ever lived." We loved you with all our hearts. We will miss you more than words can express.
I don't know "what is wrong" about my post other than cats piss and shit all over property. They stink and are not clean. And, like yourself, I have never owned any and wouldn't consider ownership except to send them to China where cats are used as a daily human diet.

It was completely inappropriate. If that is the only comment you could possibly cough up, you would be more humane to simply opt not to post at all on the topic. You are not ignorant, buckaroo.
Honestly, if you are that devoid of compassion, I truly pity you.

Rest in peace, Oliver...I know he had the best life ever. Cats are cool companions, and am sure he was your best friend, as you were his. I really feel for you; thanks for posting Ollie's pics.
In defense of Bucky, aka "US_GRANT," he must be in great pain himself to have made his (ahem) comment...
Don't give me any further grief about someone's dtinly, dead cat. I despise cats. As I said in my first post on this thread, I would have murdered the goddamned animal at conception. It would have been suffocated in a burlap bag and never seen the light of the Sun, along with the rest of it's catery.
Those damned animals stink! I find it amazing that some people allow them in their homes ... like a rat.
Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.
BTW, I have a few burlap bags available for murdering cats. Here is how we do it: step 1) place the goddamned creatures into the bag. step 2) place the bag into a barrow of water. step 3) after five or so minutes, pull the bag out and throw it in the trash.
No mess ... no fuss... what-so-ever!
Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.
My sympathies, Oliver reminds me of my own little monster mutt.
In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report.
Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject.
Buckeroo, there IS a difference between wild, feral cats and domesticated, house-broke cats.

If it's an indoor-only cat, you check the litterbox once a day and scoop out the poop and clumped urine and tie in a Wal-Mart bag and dispose of it. The owners who let the litterbox get out of control are responsible for bad smells, if you stay on top of it then it's all good.

"If it's an indoor-only cat, you check the litterbox once a day and scoop out the poop and clumped urine and tie in a Wal-Mart bag and dispose of it."
Why go through that rigmarole?
Keep the litterbox next to the toilet and scoop the clumps into that instead. I've heard people say that it clogs the plumbing but we have five cats, four litterboxes and have been doing it for years.

Why don't you save yourself the self same grief? Place the goddammned creatures in the toilet to begin with? Strangle them at will as opposed to stroke them.

I fed a feral cat for almost a year from the time I first saw him when he was about 3 months old. He used to like to fetch a small piece of rolled up paper. One night, as I sat there, he came and slowly climbed up in my lap, and began purring and kneading my legs. He did it many times after that. He disappeared a year and two days ago, and I searched for him for 10 months. I'm still not over him, so I can only imagine how much more you are hurting, christine, and my heart breaks for you. Not a sparrow falls without God noticing. All tears will be wiped away when Jesus comes back, and He "told" me a long time ago I would see a beloved dog again, so I trust we will see our cats again, too. Until then, hold tight the memories of your well-loved boy, cry as much as you need to, trust God to make you whole again, and know we're all pulling for you [or at least, MOST of us].

I asked for a sign as I looked out into the back yard. I asked for the honeysuckle tree [not bush, TREE, which is most beautiful btw...I love that thing] to sway. It was a very still day and nothing was moving, but no sooner did I ask, but the tree started to sway as if a big gust of wind had hit it. I was quick to notice nothing else was moving, just the honeysuckle tree. I thought wow, maybe it was just a coincidence, so would You mind doing that again? The tree swayed and the branches bent over to within about a foot or two of the ground, more than I had ever seen, even in the biggest ice storms, and still, no other trees were moving. I said, okay, just one more time, to be sure....and nothing happened. Immediately it came to mind, "O ye of so little faith," and I thought okay, God, I believe you.

Yes it was a vision for my dog. However, we have asked and been given signs for other pets as well, such as guinea pigs and rabbits. It has gotten to the point that we don't even ask anymore, because we now expect they will all be back with us some day, but sometimes some sort of sign is given anyway. I gather you don't like cats, but God created them, and when He was done creating, He stood back from His creation, ALL of it, and said it was very good. I was always a dog person, but when this cat came into my life that changed a bit. Now I love them both.

You won't get any arguments from me. I've always been an animal lover, and haven't eaten meat in a long time, just in case that's what you're getting at.

The loss of your 20-year friend must be very hard. We lost a 15-year old and a 16-year old last year. Condolences to you. He was beautiful. And over such a period of time, they become very intelligent and attuned to their human friends.
(Message to buckeroo: if you don't have anything good to say, move on. And house cats do not stink if they are properly cared for - anymore than any other animal. You're talking about something you know nothing about.)
