heeerrrrreeee kitty kitty

Nobody asked but here's my .02 cents.

Nobody asked but here's my .02 cents.

What sucks about being in FDC's shoes is that by not (in a manner of speaking) letting the cat out of the bag, he's now an intimate accomplice in a cover up of something that is at once sad for the woman, embarrassing for her husband, and unfortunate for the cat.

This is tricky territory to negotiate because if the truth somehow ever gets out, it will suddenly become both a new chapter of neighborhood lore and major topic of gossip. Suddenly hosts of local nitwits will appear from out of the woodwork to begin passing judgement on the actions of FDC and his neighbor and no one needs needs more of that.

If it were my wifes cat, I'd print each of the comments in this thread, hand them to my wife and leave the house for awhile so she can have some time to absorb the information.

When I returned, I would be prepared to apologize for unintentionally destroying the kitten, but most of all for with-holding the truth of the matter from my wife.

To lie to your wife is to deny her the same dignity that you expect her to afford to you at all times.

I like to think that the least I can do for my wife each day is not to rob her of her dignity.

I'll get off the soapbox now. Good luck to all concerned.

Gregory,


That was eloquantly said and appropriate.

Gregory,

Gregory,

absolutely well put, and I agree with the majority of what you wrote, however, Mike asked for my help to clean up the mess not to take part in any cover up. If his wife asked me straight out what happened I would tell her, but that will not happen. She will eventually move on and probably get another cat. I don't completely agree with the statement of robbing her of her dignity, although very noble, it is not necessarilly practical. As stated by Chris Rock, women live a lie; they where pumps, and they aren't that tall, they wear make up and there face doesn't look like that, they wear a Wonder bra and their boobs aren't that big.....so they are a living lie and you expect me to tell the truth...man screw that...bottom line is this. I am truly sorry it happened but it is by no means a reflection on me or my scruples, principles or the size of my balls. The friggin thing is dead, they have a pet store right down the road. I am an animal lover too, as stated before...but when my irish wolfhound snapped at my newborn daughter some 17 years ago it got a brand new bullet for the back of his head. End of story. I can't wait to hear everyone sob about that:thefinger , point being they are animals that deserve kindness love and care etc...and believe me my four animals get plenty of it...but when they go they go, the untimely death of an animal hardly puts my intestinal fortitude and integrity in question, or ball size. What it does is make for some good reading and a topic that everyone can express their opinion about one way or the other. Won't change the fact that there is a flat cat in a green garbage bag at the top of the pile at the local landfill. Besides it's not my cat.

Mike is kinda lucky in a way ...

When my dad backed over my puppy in the driveway the yelp was heard for 2 miles. and it seemed to carry on for at least 2 minutes after the pup had passed on.

When our cat crawled up under the hood of the car once (and only once that we knew of) to grab some extra warmth one cool fall morning and my dad started the old Impala to head off to work ...
well that scream from the cat as the first radiator blade hit woke everyone up.

I've got other similar stories too.

But every time I can recall there was some spine-tingling, nerve chilling sound to be heard.

"Even now, Claris, can you still hear them? ... Screaming? Can you?"

 

[fatdaddycool]

bump..

an update:

Mike just brought home a new kitty cat so now all is right with the world again. All you PETA backers can quit sending me hate mail..hahaha.
course I could care less, about the hate mail or the dead cat, I told him to name the new cat treads

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

FDC,

what is the latest update?

Mike tell her yet?

 

[THE KOD]

You can explain a accident but you can't explain not telling your wife you killed the cat and taking the chance someone might spill the beans and tell her.

Maybe fatdaddy when he is drunk one day and wanders over while they are grilling steaks. Hey neighbor remember the time you ran over the cat ?

fat even though you say you are a animal lover you seem a bit distant over this cat . You should have considered a proper burial at least with maybe a honor guard. Not just the trash heap.

Scott the wronged

 

[fatdaddycool]

the truth has yet to be revealed... even after many drunken nights

letting the cat out of the bag,

Gregory: :clap: :hail

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

prospector, (being an animal lover....but NOT in that way.... ), your animal death stories almost made me lose yesterday's lunch....and then some.....!!!!

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

can't stand to hear animal cruelty stories.....

call me mr.sensitive....or call me whatever you want, darling...!!!!


:shrug:

 

[txag]

sorry but i have to say this is the funniest sh*t i have ever seen on this site. i dont find it funny at all that a cat died but just this whole story cracks me up. ive been rolling on the ground laughing for the past 30 minutes thinking abouot you and your neighbor drinking beers while everyone else is searching for the cat. also you helping the wife look for the cat right after you helped her husband scrape it off the cement and put it in the garbage is classic. this whole scenario is too fawking hilarious.

glad to hear she got a new cat and tread would make a great name for it.

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

Its the scenario that is funny as hell....you should read FDC's experience in the Phillippines, crack you up as well

Re: heeerrrrreeee kitty kitty

This morning at 5:30 a.m., I am sleeping and the wife is getting ready for work....she wakes me up and says the neighbor Mike wants to talk to me its important...pull on a pair of shorts and go outside. He is standing there looking somewhat distraught, asks if I can help him real quick...and to get a shovel...."uuuuhhhh O.K." Evidently his wifes somewhat new cat had taken up refuge behind his tire in the garage...once he pulled out for work.....squish....I am frigging dying laughing and hes laughing but trying not to cuz he knows the wife is going to be VERY upset. Anyway we put Marshmallow (now squished) in a trash bag and put it in my other neighbor Sergio's trash can.......I go back to bed....funny thing is though, it is Spring Break here and Mikes wife is a teacherso she is home all day, so now it is 9:30 a.m. and she is standing on the driveway with a bowl of cat food yelling hhheeeerrrrreeee kitty kitty......and I don't have the heart to tell her, that Mike made a Smore out of Marshmallow, so now I am getting ready to help her look for the cat, but everytime I hear her yell for it I crack up picturing us scraping the poor dead furball up of the garage floor. I know it sounds morbid....but it was friggin funny.

FDC,
didn't your wife know what you neighbor wanted you for? Did you tell her? If she knew, she didnt mention it to the neighbor? I am assuming she didnt since there were fliers all around the neighborhood.....i understand your situation and would have done the same thing....thx for keeping all of us updated....

by the way...did they name the new cat "tread"??

 

[NickiD]

Great Story FDC...!!

the board went a little deep on ya...


As a female and an animal lover - It wouldn't make alot of different if he told me or not - I'd probably rather be spared the gory details, it wasn't a malicious act or a malicious lie.

About halfway thru this thread I caught a date and realized when it started, LMAO. Moved sometime ago, next door to the 'Cat Lady'. Called City Hall, Police Dept., Animal Control, County Health, even talked to the City Manager about my neighbor lady with at least 20+(outside) cats (& more inside), NO CITY ORDINANCE. The woman even kicked a vent screen out from under my house so a pregnant cat could nest and have her litter. I'm having coffee early one morning and hear these little 'meows' under the TV room floor! Paw prints all over my new vehicle from all the 'Tom's' in the area and cat p*ss and sh*t everywhere drove me nuts! It did no good trying to talk to this woman about our problem.

The kittens finally came out from under my house after trying to humanely trap the b*tch mother, with no luck. Arrived home one day, neighbor at work, stopped to check the mail at the driveway that splits her property and mine. At least 10 adult cats and 5 or 6 kittens were laying in or around the driveway...I threw a stone as a warning... got back in my car and stepped on the gas!

One of the cats was looking at all the other cats scatter and didn't get out of the way of my right front tire and had no choice about the right rear tire. I panicked, triple plastic bagged it and put it in the freezer until trash day.

It has been over a year since that happened. She gave away a bunch of cats, and the ones that are still around ...don't even think about printing my vehicle, still have the same tires.

I'm sure I'll catch hell...had to share the story with you FDC

 

[DR STRANGELOVE]

bump for humor purposes!
:clap:

 

[Mjolnir]

the husband is an ass not to tell his wife. it would have helped the grieving process go quicker. now that everyone but her knows it, she would probably feel worse!

 

[SixFive]

badtodabone, I didn't see your comment a year and a half ago, lol, but if you still read here's what you can do. I certainly wouldn't put up with your neighbor having all those strays around. You can get traps from the local animal control and catch them yourself. You should be able to get 1 every night, and when you do, just drop it off at the humane society. It might take you a month or so, but that will get it done.

I have 2 cats but they are strictly inside pets. Cats that wander like that are messy, stinky, and horrible for wildlife. I'm sure you have no birds to speak of around there. In the country setting, the method for taking care of stray/feral cats is S, S, & S. Shoot, Shovel, and Shutup. People will go out of their way to kill a harmless snake, but will try to feed and keep around a bunch of stray cats that are horrible on the native wildlife. Never understood this.

 

[ceciol]

Maybe the husband is the real "pussy" in all of this. He can't even tell his wife. Doesn't sounds like a solid marriage.
