What about animal control? short of calling 911, everyone is closed today. and while it is a MAJOR inconvenience to me, i can't call it an emergency. what a pain in the ass. i'm afraid to let them near my 9 year old son, because he's autistic and doesn't really take to animals. we have a labrador of our own who is neutered and will put up with obnoxious children. but i have no idea what these dogs' background is and refuse to take any chances. the male is not neutered and has clipped ears. the female looks like she's had pups recently. given that they're pitbulls, weighing all these factors, i'm thinking Hell No! so while i'd rather be watching the new S&A Live that Liz sent me for Christmas i'm stuck in the living room, making sure Tim doesn't go outside. see what i mean? MAJOR incovenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Shrimp_Cot Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Having an equally dreadful pet around at one point made me think of a business opportunity. Pet Hit Man. Yes, I could make it look like an accident. "The cat just ran out in front of my car!!! I'm so sorry!" Who would have to know?? Everybody is happy. How much to charge? 100? 200?

This line made me bust a gut. By the way, you are screwed. Perhaps some jewelry is in order. When my wife and I moved into our house, we had a stray cat hanging out. She fed it, it kept coming back, now it is a member of the family. One twist though.... our stray was pregnant. At least you don't have to deal with that.

Do I dare believe my eyes?! Shrimp Cot! How the hell are you? No kiddin' 'eh?? MSC !!!!! anyway... good luck Riv. We had a stray a couple years back that i wanted nothing to do with. someone decided to feed it, and create shelter for it. and he was a regular on my front porch after that. freaking my indoor cat out. she'd try to get into a pissing match (almost literally) thru the window with the stray that was labeled "barney" (old barn cat). We found out there was a local non-profit called Paws for a Cause. I called them up and they came & took the cat away. made sure the shots were up to date & she was healthy & eventually was adopted to a good home. so there ya go. i'll be curious to see how this whole gig pans out!

Necromancer Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 There's a family of strays that play on our property and the two yards next to us. The mother is a huge black cat, and there's at least four different colored kittens from her latest litter and a couple other full-grown cats that I'm almost positive are hers too. The latest litter were newborns when we got here. Adorable. I'm looking out the window as I type and watching them running around in the neighbor's snow covered yard. They're not real tiny anymore, but still kittens. Everyone here takes care of them, but we decided not to take any of them in. Maybe the mother's next litter, if there's an all black female, we might. Just thought I'd share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I haven't read through the whole thread. However, knowing you to the extent that I "know" you, Riv, that cat should be grateful you didn't push it (or its car) off a cliff. You showed a great deal of patience, given the circumstances. So, I think you're wrong in saying (as the thread title states) that you've lost your holiday spirit. Except for the throwing the cat part of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say I spent a good deal of time yesterday looking for this cat. so... did you FIND it?? i dunno, man. the cat was a feral cat? it was not domesticated? it behaved the way it did in your home as a way of acting out, and against the other animals... staking territory sort of speak. i'm sure eventually it could have been domesticated, but at the expense of you having to buy new furniture? f**k that. you're living much further south than I am. I think that it being able to survive in the great outdoors won't be a problem AT ALL. after all is said and done, hopefully it hasn't and won't reek too much havoc in your personal world.
