As Hokie posted, I lost my really, really cool tabby 'Bud' years ago - run over by a car, also possibly on purpose since he apparently was laying where he was hit & not thrown there, and was well to the right of the lane. Really sucked, especially since it happened at a very lonely time in my life (just moved to a new city, didn't know a soul) & he was my little buddy. BUT, I had to accept personal responsibility since I made the mistake of letting him roam occasionally, in a higher-traffic area than our prior house.

Sorry for the loss of your & your daughter's little friend, Scott.

The daughter part is just a guilt trip.

Hey, truce, Scott... I knew it wasn't your cat and I knew that it wasn't your daughter's cat. I honestly believe that it was wrong of the son to just leave those cats to fend for themselves. You don't agree, okay that's cool. I am sorry that the animal had to die that way, I really am. Take it easy.

So funny to watch Tigger casually stroll into a thread and then get suddenly and violently ass raped.

Gotta go with him on this one, you can't let pets roam around outside safely (even in your backyard) and not expect them to die violently. Rangerscott I understand the situation and I'm not baggin on you at all. I'm not tryin to be a dick, we have a cat and she roams around outside during the day though never over night.

However I don't really give a fuck about her. My dogs don't even go out back without me being there though.

Turn-about is fair play, I reckon.

Well played sir, well played.

I think online 'Tigger' is like me in a more extreme way - comes off as much more of a blunt dick than IRL 'Lon' actually is. (I could be wrong, maybe you're a gaping one & you just hid it well at the rally - hope not though! ) I agree with the basic point (re;pets/owners), there's just better ways to make a point sometimes (if one fails or doesn't give a shit about applying a little tact - which I do myself too often).

Truces when stuff gets blown up & bent out are good things.

RIP Mr. Kitty. I am sorry he was killed.

If either of my dogs were hit by a car I would be devastated - and I would also blame myself only. It is my job to protect them and keep them out of the road.

I've grown up half my life in the country and half in the city. I've probably have had more pets in my 24 years than all of you combined. I learned that you leave cats alone, they can fit their a hole a 10th their size, they'll climb the highest then in the area, and they're turn from an angel to a demon in a heart beat. You don't lock cats up. They will go spycho on you.


Was on my street heading home and there was this fat black/white cat with a collar on, just sitting on his ass staring at the cars. I thought Mr Kitty was fat. LOL
