Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005News: Cat Frozen To Fence! Includes Video of Cat
NEWS URL AT BOTTOM: One cold morning, while in the back yard of Nebraska homeowner Ruth Bogenreif, a cat took a drink out of a heated bird bath. Something apparently startled the cat and she jumped, wet paws and all, onto a chain-link fence. In freezing temperatures, the cat's small feet froze instantly to the metal. "(She) was hanging with (her) paws froze to the fence. (Her) head, the back of (her) neck, was in the water," Bogenreif said. Using warm water, Bogenreif and her grandchildren freed the cat from the metal and turned her over to the local shelter. "She's not walking well on her right leg, we're assuming muscle paralysis at this point," said Pam Wiese with the Humane Society. "Hopefully she'll be getting better as the swelling goes down." The cat is recovering at the shelter. http://www.nbc4.tv/irresistible/4089306/detail.html >NEWS URL AT BOTTOM: >One cold morning, while in the back yard of Nebraska homeowner Ruth >Bogenreif, a cat took a drink out of a heated bird bath. A heated bird bath?! A goddamn hot tub for fuckin' birds? How stupid (for a bird) would a bird have to be to take a bath in freezing weather? I don't care if they try to keep their feathers waterproof, I still find it hard to believe that a normal bird would want to take a bath in freezing weather. It doesn't say much for a person that goes to the trouble and expesne of having a heated bird bath either. I'm wondering if Ruth was hoping that the birds would get wet and then freeze to death. >Using warm water, Bogenreif and her grandchildren freed the cat from the >metal and turned her over to the local shelter. ... >The cat is recovering at the shelter. As soon as it recovers, they'll put it to sleep. Sort of like the way prisons make sure people on death row are healthy before they fry them.

Mites, lice, tics fleas, all kinds of sh.t live on critters for the winter, the temp of an average bird is 115? F there is no (as you say) "fuckin'" way they are going to freeze to death. They use them all the time. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go fry a chicken. Stone Is it me or are there people out ther who want a flame war with every message?

It's you, you top-posting, cross-posting poltroon. When you add the witless girlies of slack and the carnivorous chimps of a.t to your post, what the f.ck do you expect, dimwit? Cat-lovers? Only in the dietary sense, I assure you. Oh, and sexually, of course, though I don't favour that myself. It's such a lot of work defanging and declawing the thing, wrapping it in carpet tape and widening its orifice with needle-nose pliers, though it is nice to wipe the blood and spoo off your dick on a dying cat, I must say. Gives it that added touch of piquancy. >I hopr the cat survives intact seems the US gets harsh winters. I hope it doesn't. I hope it dies miserably over a protracted period. If it wasn't for sentimental fuckwits like you we would recognise cats for the vermin they are and eradicate them. I do my best: I never leave home without my trusty machete and the streets are littered with pussy-cat body-parts around here. >In Great >Britain we are more lucky. Like, in not getting harsh winters, y'mean? As I look out my window upon the British landscape it's white with snow and colder'n a witch's tit. I suppose you'll be one of those soft Southron sodomites, so near France you're practically a wog. >Maybe the bird bath could be improved with >(harmless) chemicals that kill bugs?

The moment you witless cat-f.ckers learn to deploy your newsreaders to remove "alt.tasteless" from the groups line I can forget that disgustingly, cloyingly, saccharinely sentimental apologies for human beings like you exist and then I won't feel compelled to rip you to shreds as you so thoroughly deserve. So that's your challenge for today, cat-cunnilingus-lovers. Find your way out of alt.tasteless and back to your usual comfortable group with its stench of cat pee. You have until three pm (my time) or the cat gets it.

Your line in insults lacks a certain something, jacquie0. Like any sting or offensiveness, literary quality, calculation or ability. Perhaps you should get your cat to do it next time. If I don't get to it first and stamp it flatter than a pancake, with its tongue extending from one end and its intestines from the other.

Better watch it, this guy is a professional flamer. Justin >Better watch it, this guy is a professional flamer. Not at all, Justin. If I were professional, I would be paid for it. As it is, I just do it from the goodness of my heart without reward of any kind, except the pleasure I know you cat-humpers get from my remarks. Actually, It's only a joke. I'm remarkaby fond of cats really. They are such useful creatures. I try to collect ten or a dozen at a time and hang them from the washing line by the tail. A good prod with my pocket knife establishes each cat's tone and pitch and I can soon tune 'em up for a good cat sonata. To 'encourage' them to sing at the appropriate moment I use about 4 feet of barbed wire, folded into a neat club. You need to wrap the end in cloth, if you're trying this at home, because you don't want to cut yourself. A good whack with this instrument will result in a spectacular yowl from pussy, though it often rips off a limb or two and most of the skin. Only short pieces can be played in this way as cats have little durability once exsanguination begins. However, with good recording equipment, a major work can be eventually produced. For instance, my version of Beethoven's Third took a mere 473 assorted moggies over a period of a month. All donations of cats surplus to requirements are gratefully received.

A freind probably wouldn't hurt either. Regards Justin <snip ><snip moron's remarks> > >Buddy, you really need to get a life. A freind probably wouldn't hurt >either. How it delights me to be called a moron by someone who then goes on to misspell a simple little word like 'friend', Justin. The irony just creases me all to f.ck and back again. Thank you, however, for your concern about my welfare. But why would I need a life or friends when I have usenet and the cat people? You are, I assure you, sufficient unto the day. That said, I suspect that you don't like the turn this debate has taken. If that's so, the remedy is in your own stubby little fingers with the chewed-down nails, Justin. Keep them off the f.cking keyboard and you'll hear no more from me; I only respond, I do not initiate. This pattern would have been clear to almost any group of people except you cat-slobbering retards. I warned you some hours ago to remove yourselves from alt.tasteless or I would be forced to sacrifice the hostage cat. I extended the deadline, purely voluntarily, but no. You couldn't shut your babbling yap so the cat died. You'll be pleased to hear I did it humanely, though. I preheated the oven to regulo 6 and heaved the feline in. My Ghod! The noise! It wasn't just the yowling; the beast was rushing around in the oven clattering the metal trays and clawing at the door. It stopped after a while, and as I didn't want to fill the house with the stink of singeing cat hair, I took it out. Damme, if it wasn't alive! It rolled its beautiful grey eyes up at me and meowed most piteously. You would almost swear it was talking - pleading for its life. So I chucked it back in for another ten minutes. YOU did that, Justin. You MADE me do that because you had to get another word in. And it's raining now, and I have to go out and get another cat. You f.cking pest. SignatureSem >><snip moron's remarks> >> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > You f.cking pest. Nevermind the life and "freinds" You are clearly beyond any hope. Regards Justin >Nothing that bears repeating< HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO TELL YOU, JUSTIN, YOU SIMPLETON! Trim the newsgroup headers or shut the f.ck up. Either method will stop the abuse. Now I'm going home for lunch and kill one of my cats. The little gray bastard. I don't have the patience of my friend Pilchard so I've no time for a convection oven. Besides, the microwave has a nifty little window. I wonder if cats explode like an egg or if they just ooze out of their orifices. No, on second thought I might try the deep freeze. First I think I'll singe the nasty cat hair off with a blow torch then pop kitty into the freezer. I'm sure the cold will feel good to his slightly seared flesh! And then it will sleep. I won't have to put a stick in the cats butt like I would if I were giving it to a child, the dog is gonna love his new kittysicle! All the while I'll be thinking of Justin. >> "Semolina Pilchard" <ushat@ukonline.co.uk> wrote in message [snip] > Nevermind the life and "freinds" > You are clearly beyond any hope.

Like the terrier, you don't expect ol' Semolina to dispatch them all, its just an issue of seeing how many of them get the treatment before time runs out. And like the terrier, the contest is hopelessly lopsided but makes good spectator fun. On a side note, didn't we learn a lesson a while back about screwing around in the cat newsgroups? Freaking the mundanes is rarely worth the hassle. And poking sticks at the humorless is just above a self inflicted 9mm sinus clearing on the "ways to cure boredom" list.

Age and infirmity will slow down even an old terrier like me. I think I lost my killer instinct when I stopped drinking. I just snap at 'em from habit, now. SignatureSem >A good terrier could kill 20 rats in a very few minutes. <sigh> No sh.t, if it wasn't obvious that I already knew that by what I had posted. For the remaining clueless masses: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/manchesterterrier.htm And for those (like myself) that can't be bothered clicking on the damn link: "A Manchester Terrier named Billy supposedly killed 100 rats in only 6 minutes, 13 seconds in a British contest!"

Why don't you learn to operate your newsreading program, "jacquie". See that line at the top where it says "newsgroups"? Check it out, see where it says "alt.tasteless"? When you see that you just do a "kill thread" and save yourself some deeply scarring emotional grief, Ok? Better yet, just pull the plug from the wall and go back to watching daytime TV. It's painfully obvious you're not qualified to operate the big scary whirring box with the flashing lights on it. Run along now...there's a dear.

As I was starting my car in the below zero temperatures this morning I have to wonder if this is even possible. Sure it is possible here where it is below zero water freezes instantly. But in Nebraska? Nebraska where it probably never gets much below 25 degrees? Also considering how fast a cat is who is scared of something is that cat going to stay sill long enough for anything to freeze? I don't think so. In those seconds that a cat is freezing to something that same cat is going to run to safety somewhere. In that split second it would take for the cat to freeze to the fence any cat who scared by something is going to head for the something like a tree, where they can defend their turf. -------------------------------- "Republicans believe that life begins at conception and ends at birth." --------------------Barney Frank |
