Marty McFly (my cat)

Post by GageEndal » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:48 am

Howdy guys, I'm sure a few of you know my cat Marty by his picture, a few of you even adopted him as your icon for a while.

Well, I just got back from New Mexico to visit my sister and on the way in I saw a cat on the side of the road, after we unloaded our stuff I walked back to check on the cat and it was Marty. I am pretty sure he didn't suffer, and it took me a minute to make sure that it was him (it was kind of messy...) but after getting a flashlight and checking for his tell tale marks I realized that it was.

I'm really kind of bummed out, I love my cats and thankfuly George was still around, my neighbors were watching after them, but they are outdoors cats so I knew this could happen. It's really kinda' sad and I will really miss him, he was my favorite by far, mostly because he would give me kisses and because he was the sane one (well, sane for a cat anyways). I still have George though, and even though he's pretty retarded, I am glad that I still have him.

The wierd thing is that I'm not really all that broken up by this, I'm good at handling these things, always have been. I guess it's my curse.

Anyways, to Marty McFly, you will be remembered buddie.

OMG! I just went back to check him over with a picture of Marty and that cat is NOT MARTY!

((does a little dance))

They both have the M on their forehead, but marty has a big black lump just behind his right ear, on top of that the cat had barely any white on his forepaws, Marty has a LOT of white on his forepaws! I really am hoping that I'm right, but I think that Marty may still be rockin'!

More on this if I figure it out, Sorry for the heartthrob, but that's how I was feelin'. Now I'm feeling some relief (even though there is a nameless cat outside... which is sad).

Well, I cleaned up the nameless cat, it was light orange and black (stupid lights being yellow so I can't tell what color anythign is) so it's verified. No sign of Marty yet, but I put his food and toys out so he should turn up.

Very happy

I think George pushed him...

Oh, he's not dead, eh? Guess George's off the hook. :shifty:

Have you considered being a responsible pet owner and not allowing your pets to roam wild for days at a time?

Seriously, this is one of the few social issues that really get to me. People, you're not doing your pets--nor your neighbors and city--any favors by letting them roam free. Keep your cats indoors and your dogs in your yard. Make sure they've had their shots and are generally healthy (i.e. no feline lukemia, for instance) so they don't get other people's pets sick. For the love of HOD spay or neuter them.

I know, it may sound harsh, but I have no sympathy for people whose pets are killed, maimed, knocked up, captured by the pound, get sick, etc, when they're letting them be "anchored strays" in the first place.

You know how a while ago they figured out crows could use tools to get at food?

Cats do the same thing without needing tools. A single claw or paw is all they need to get anything. They're at the top of their evolutionary ladder.
Unless you consider polydactyl cats higher due to opposable thumbs. I fully believe cats with thumbs should be neutered as soon as possible to prevent them taking over; they can operate the can opener!

Do you not know how to read? He JUST GOT BACK FROM NEW MEXICO. Kind of hard to be a "responsible pet owner" when you're in another fucking state.

And how are you not being a responsible pet owner for letting your cats go outside? I know, lets stop walking our dogs! They dont need it, their civilized!

They're fucking animals. Oh, poor you who might get cat shit in your yard now and then. Who knew, it being outside and all.

And what about those who ARE responsible, who put their pets in a dog run while tring to fence in theback yard so the dog has room to run around...and someone backs into the dog run and effectively wraps the dogs leash around the tree with the dog between the leash and the tree? This just happened to a friend. His pet, whom he's had for probably 10 years if not longer, was killed in this manner while at a friends house.

(clarification: Friend gave dog to another friend because first friend was moving into an apartment and can't have the dog. Second friend was trying to fence in his back yard so dog would have room to run around without being out in traffic. Dog was in dog run - presumably in the front yard - so that he would be safe while he finished the fence. Overnight someone backed into the dog run and killed the dog, the leash was wrapped around the tree with the dog attached. He was there overnight.)

I consider this responsible behavior all the way around.

SunTzu, your sputtering rant makes no sense and counters no points I actually made. Cat shit in my yard? Don't take dogs for a walk? Whatever you have to say to oppose me, I guess...

Tigger, did someone say any differently? I don't understand the point of relating your little story.

YOUR point seems to be that no responsible pet owner would ever own an outdoor cat. What, it being unnatural and all with cats being outside.

You take dogs for walks becouse if you dont, it's bad for them. Do you think its HEALTHIER for a cat to be locked up for the 10 years of its life?

The only reason people are opposed to outside cats is becouse they get pissed when cats shit in their yard, pretty much.

I dont feel sympathy for the families of soldiers killed in Iraq, afterall they brought it upon themselves by going there!
