I've had a pet stolen from me before... very devistating

Hopefully they'll find the sphincters behind it... I dont think a tiger tank would be appropriate: This sounds like the job for the whole Sigfreid & Roy experience

Fleeing from the fury of the fuzz for felonious pilfering of a fuzzy feline!

Who steals a cat?

Obviously, a cat burglar.

 

[glockamolee]

Well... if you consider that armed robbers enjoy being able to terrorize and intimidate; it may have been "for kicks" as they figured that they couldn't get to the cash register.

Steal the cat instead.

I have two cats and I would not want those two to run into me anywhere. Since I'm from Michigan, they're safe.

Same Here, Glockomole

Here at Rancho Relaxo in South Texas, anyone who even thought about harming one of my feline friends would have hell to pay!

I subscribe to a Washington state insurance law reporter. We recently had an appellate case (Lawson v. Chrisps) in which a man came onto his sunporch one day and the neighbor's cat was there. The cat 'attacked' the man, who promptly shot the cat. He then sued his neighbors for harboring a dangerous animal. The trial court threw out the case on the basis that there was no prior notice that the cat was dangerous; the Court of Appeals affirmed, dismissing the case.

The odd thing was that as you read the case report, the man reported previously feeding, petting and stroking the cat on his lap on that very same sunporch. Why the heck he felt the need to shoot the very same cat at a later date is a mystery to me. Although my cat is a house cat, suffice it to say that any neighbor who shot her had better sleep with one eye open for a long time to come.

This sounds more like a movie script than real life.

I'm sure we'll find out that the armed men were CIA agents, and Simon swallowed some top secret microfilm proving [random conspiracy theory]

Question.
Was the cat wearing a "Galaxy" on it's collar and did the "men" have bugs coming out of their sleeves??

I completely understand the love you feel for your pet, but people who let their cats wander should be prepared to lose them. I contain my dogs and people should contain their cats.

The more I learn about people, the better I like my cats. Even the crazy dangerous ones.

Because I live in the suburbs, both dogs and the cat are house animals, except for the fenced back yard. Between cars, coyotes, raptors, exposure to toxins and the like, I think that an animal allowed to roam freely in the suburbs has a shorter life span. My vet agrees with me. In fact, when my house cat of nine years died suddenly last year, we replaced her with a cat that had been abandoned by a family that moved away. She had turned feral and had taken up residence on our porch where we had been feeding and caring for her. We moved her entirely into the house and she adjusted very well.

As I grow older, I often find the company of animals preferable to that of humans. I'm not anti-social..often getting together with friends at the range or ranch, but animals let you know straight off where they're coming from and what they think of you.

Our three indoor cat pals were found by the side of a road a neighbor was cleaning up trash at. It was August 2004, 11AM and about 92 already (South Texas), they were in a plastic grocery bag, tied at the top, swimming in their own whizz and poop and scared to death. Well, old Bill knew my wife and I are animal lovers ..6 outside cats..all spayed/neutered and have their shots. We're lucky enough to have a good size spread and the kats have numerous areas to run, hide, woodpiles to hunt up critters and what not.

He drove up, spotted me in the front and brought over the bag. (He also qualified with me for our CHL's), BTW. Those 3 little guys were frightened and filthy. While my wife bathed them in the sink, I made a run to the vets for formula, etc.

Long story short, Mr. Ears, Mama and Sweety Pie are all happy, healthy house kats and enjoy the enclosed porches to check out the wildlife and smell the wind (sort of like a kat's e-mail! They can sniff what's going on, who's around, etc.). We never have to worry if a roach or mouse gets in!

If anyone tried to steal or harm them in anyway...I really don't know what I'd do. Having raised three (3) children, our pets have sort of replaced them, and in a sense, are part of the family.

I too am an animal lover (no, not in *that* way!) but I'm a dog guy. I firmly believe that my dogs are a huge responsibility and they shouldn't be allowed to impose upon the property rights of others. I feel the same way about cats, but many people seem to think that it's perfectly fine to allow their cats to roam.
It's really a sore spot with me. I have bird feeders in my yard and sometimes it seems that I'm just maintaining a snack bar for the neighborhood cats.
They dig in my flowerbeds, put muddy paw prints on my fat-bobs, so forth.
I won't hurt them, but I will trap them and turn them over to animal control.

Well, cats tend to be wandering critters.... our normal sized properties aren't as big as cats like for home territory.

One good way to keep 'em out is use of the good 'ol fashioned waterhose. A few good soakings and the fuzzballs will tend to avoid your yard.

 

[Biker]

True enough I suppose, but I really shouldn't have to go through the BS. The sad part is, once in awhile they get into my yard while my dogs are out (big fenced yard) and they don't make back over the fence.
I do what I can to avoid it, but it does happen.
All of these problems would be non-issues if people took responsiblity for their animals.

[fluffygrrl]

still its difficult to keep a cat under control all the time, especially if you have more than one.

I agree, but isn't that something you should've thought about prior to becoming a cat owner? It seems to me that if you can't control them outside that they should be kept inside.
Is that unreasonable?

Not 20 Minutes Ago..

My wife was leaving to shop (always with the shopping!) and I saw the Jeep stop in front of the house, and she backed up the drive.

There are some irresponsible, mutant low lifes that live down the road that allow their cats to roam, not fixed, throw them scraps..and one got hit by a car right in front of my house.

I was torn between bagging the poor little critter, taking the deceased down to the crap head who allowed this to happen and having words, or calling the city to come pick up the dead animal. My neighbor across the way, aware of my temper and love of animals, strongly suggested I call the city..which I did.

But I'm still going to have words with that idiot.
