Bad Pet Owners My parents have a situation where a "stray" cat started hanging at their place. It seemed obvious that the cat was an owned, indoor cat, as ALL FOUR paws were declawed. So, who in their right mind would let a completely defenseless cat roam outdoors? They figured someone in the neighborhood had a cat who accidentally got out. Anyway, my parents already have 2 cats who wouldn't take kindly to another addition, so they fed the stray cat outdoors, gave it lots of lovey-dovey petting, let it inside the garage at night, put up flyers in the neighborhood and ads in papers. It had been emaciated and had ear mites, and when they felt some "lumps", my parents broke down and took him to the vet, where it was discovered that he had a hernia, worms and ear mites. It cost about $200, all together.
The other day, the 12 yr old next door neighbor boy came to the door and claimed the cat, saying they'd been out of town on vacation and before they'd left, the cat had gotten out. My parents called the neighbor to let her know that they had medicine for the cat and that they'd bring it over. When they spoke, the woman stated that her sons had "gotten tired of the cats" (they have 2) and that when the cat had "escaped" before vacation and not come home, she had hoped that he'd just "gone off into the woods to die". Oh, and she'd just love it if my mom could continue to try to find a home for both cats. This sort of behavior truly makes me feel sick to my stomach. Some folks seem to view animals as their "entertainment", and if the pet doesn't perform to standards, or perhaps becomes a bit difficult to deal with, suddenly they deserve to be abandoned or left to die? WTF?! [Edited 7/21/06 12:12pm] | |

people don't realize that pets are similar to raising kids, you have to be responsible, they just didn't care because they don't consider animals as important as humans. if you don't want the responsibility don't get them.  | |

And, pets give so much love in return. It's so sad. | |

It burns me up to read or hear stories like that one. When you have a pet it is another memeber of the household. To say that you "got tired" of having the pet and let it out hoping it would die is cruel. Your parents are beautiful souls to take care of the cat like they did.
That is like getting tired of a child and just putting it outside hoping it will go away. The animals start to see the owner as their parent... My brother had a Pug. A Pug is definitely NOT a outside dog. They would get tired of him and throw him outside...in this Arizona heat. They are definitely NOT pet people. I now have the Pug because I felt bad for him. Tiko is now happy, healthy, not shedding, and his coat is silky again. I have told him off on many occasions about the dog, and he is my brother. I am aout to take in another cat (I have one already) because the owner said that she is about to throw it outside to become coyote meal. That is just cruel...

Took care of it from chick to chicken. He considered it his pet. he went to school one day and came home to a fried chicken dinner. He didn't realize that he had eaten his "pet" for dinner. My father was so upset over this he didn't eat chicken for years. Be it cow, chicken, cat , dog, lizard, whatever...if you come to love the critter then it is special.

I truly don't know what it is that people think when they get a pet.
To me a pet is a friend and family member. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.

To me a pet is a friend and family member. as they are to most ADULTS....what happens is some parents get their too young children pets....a live action toy if u will....and when the puppy/kitten/chick/"insert baby animal here" stops being cute and cuddly and actually requires attention and care, the kid loses interest, and a family that really didn't want a pet to begin with is, for all intents, stuck with one....that is how u end up with situations like the one that kicked off the thread.... ...some of us are having some fun with the topic, but I'm certain that no one espouses animal abuse...

My cat was microchipped...but it was because of Army regulations. I live on post and it is like Wild Kingdom out here...I took in the Pug because my 5 year old niece no longer found him cute. My brother and sister in law are really not pet people.... See Renegade's post above (he is talking about my brother and my niece)...they bought not one but two dogs. Both ended up outside and both were attacked or stalked at one point by coyotes that live on this post. If you leave the pet outside it will never make it to a shelter. That is unfortunate... It is good that there are people that car when they see strays and try to help them instead of being cruel to them... "Pussycat, pussycat whr4 art thou puppy??" | |

I live on post and it is like Wild Kingdom out here...I took in the Pug because my 5 year old niece no longer found him cute. My brother and sister in law are really not pet people.... See Renegade's post above (he is talking about my brother and my niece)...they bought not one but two dogs. Both ended up outside and both were attacked or stalked at one point by coyotes that live on this post. If you leave the pet outside it will never make it to a shelter. That is unfortunate... It is good that there are people that car when they see strays and try to help them instead of being cruel to them... Arizona Animal Welfare League Shelter Adoption Hours: Monday - Closed Tuesday - Friday: 11am - 7pm Saturday - Sunday: 9am - 5pm 30 North 40th Place Phoenix Arizona 85034 (602) 273-6852 The Arizona Animal Welfare League (AAWL), the largest and oldest "no-kill" shelter in Arizona, opened in 1971. The AAWL was founded by Amanda Blake, who played Miss Kitty on TV's "Gunsmoke", and other animal lovers who were concerned about the number of stray animals at the local county facilities. For over 30 years, the AAWL has rescued thousands of homeless animals and provided important humane services to animals and people. The AAWL is a private, non-profit animal shelter with our own Board of Directors. All of our funding is through tax-deductible donations. So.....whats ur point? He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

His parents tell him not to worry if he can't find his rabbit, not to go into the shed and when he's a sweet boy and plays and he will get something yummy later. At the end of the song, the second day of chrismas, his mom wakes up, dads bed is empty. The boy tells her not to enter the shed and to be sweet and go and play.....
For the ones that can translate
Flappie Youp van 't Hek Tekst en muziek: Youp van 't Hek Het was kerstochtend 1961, ik weet het nog zo goed Mijn konijnenhok was leeg En moeder zei dat ik niet in de schuur mocht komen En als ik lief ging spelen Dat ik dan wat lekkers kreeg Zij wist ook niet waar Flappie uit kon hangen Ze zou het papa vragen, maar omdat hij bezig was In het fietsenschuurtje, moest ik maar een uurtje Goed naar Flappie zoeken, hij liep vast wel ergens op het gras refr. Maar ik had het hok toch goed dichtgedaan Zoals ik dat elke avond deed Ik was de vorige avond zelfs nog teruggegaan Ik weet ook niet waarom ik dat deed Ik had heel lang voor het hok gestaan Alsof ik wist wat ik nu weet Het was eerste kerstdag 1961, wij naar Flappie zoeken Vader, die zocht gewoon mee Bij de bomen en het water, maar niet in dat fietsenschuurtje Want daar kon 'ie toch niet zitten en ik schudde nee We zochten samen, samen tot de koffie, de familie aan de koffie Maar ik hoefde niet Ik dacht aan Flappie en dat het 's nachts heel koud kon vriezen Mijn hoofdje stil gebogen, dikke tranen van verdriet refr. Het was eerste kerstdag 1961, er werd luidruchtig gegeten Maar dat deed me niet zoveel Ik dacht aan Flappie, mijn eigen kleine Flappie Waar zou 'ie lopen, geen hap ging door mijn keel Toen na de soep het hoofdgerecht zou komen Sprak mij vader uiterst grappig: "kijk Youp daar is Flappie dan" Ik zie de zilveren schaal nog en daar lag hij in drie stukken Voor het eerst zag ik mijn vader als een vreselijke man Ik ben gillend en stampend naar bed gegaan Heb eerst een uur liggen huilen op de sprei Nog een keer scheldend boven aan de trap gestaan En geschreeuwd "Flappie was van mij" Ik heb heel lang voor het raam gestaan Maar het hok stond er maar verlaten bij Het was tweede kerstdag 1961, moeder weet dat nog zo goed Vaders bed was leeg En ik zei dat zij niet in de schuur mocht komen En als ze lief ging spelen Dat ze dan wat lekkers kreeg [Edited 7/21/06 14:14pm] Went to Babelfish...was curious...still clueless because Babelfish sucks.

No, serious, it sounds like they hated your dad, how could they do that to him  | |

No, serious, it sounds like they hated your dad, how could they do that to him They were very poor and the had chickens for eggs and for dinner. My father got attached to this one bird and the rest is history. It was either save "Chicken" (my father had NO imagination with names) or feed 11 people. They opted to have the chicken... Trust me he is over that now...the man is in his sixties and hasn't turned down a two piece from Popeye's lately. "Pussycat, pussycat whr4 art thou puppy??" | |

I'm trying to translate the song, babelfish was hillarious, can't even use it to translate it for you.
Thought I'll just do it for fun, but it's quiete a job  | |
