Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2005broken tail update
Thank you all for your advice regarding kitty's "broken tail." It was really only a separation between two of the vertebrae, but it still looked broken. The "casts" kept coming off, so I just decided to keep kitty inside until he could hold his tail up straight, or there was evidence that he would never be able to do so. Good news! Yesterday he held his tail straight up, and so I let him outside (fearing he may never come back). But he came back after only a few hours, so I guess he still loves me.... stingo > Thank you all for your advice regarding kitty's "broken tail."

Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get hurt or killed? >> Thank you all for your advice regarding kitty's "broken tail."

It is a perfectly reasonable question, you flaming a.shole. And I don't give a rat's furry a.s whether "people like me" or not. I do like cats and hate to see them endangered. So shove your "shut up" up your a.s. >> >> Thank you all for your advice regarding kitty's "broken tail."

So > shove your "shut up" up your a.s. I think "Do you really want people to dislike you" was a perfectly reasonable question too. But dont worry, Mary. I won't coment you again, but think about it, you would get a better response if you asked in a less agressive way. Then people would actually look at content of your question instead of getting exasperated over your aggressiveness. There is a reason why diplomati gets the best results. Sorry for flaming you, but i got exasperated over the way you were treating people. Best regards Gunnar S. Paulsen > >> >> Thank you all for your advice regarding kitty's "broken tail."

Paulsen Gunnar, I understand your position, and I appreciate the clarification. Meanwhile, "shut up" is not a flame, it is the expression of a wish to censor. This is a free and open, unmoderated forum: Usenet. For now. Enjoy it and just click past or killfile those you don't like to read. I honestly do not care if "people here" dislike me. I get lots of resistance to my erm, shall we call it, "posting style." While I appreciate your assessment of the situation, and even admit that it is "right on" were I trying to persuade, I must point out that I am not trying to persuade. I am merely having my say. Stupidity frustrates me so I respond as I do. Honestly. The cat's TAIL was just broken, and the guy lets it out again, fully expecting that the cat will not come back. Why? I still want to know. >> Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get >> hurt or killed? > >Shut up, Mary. Do you really want people to dislike you? Give it up - that is a religious issue ... and she the equivalent of one of those obnoxious door to door missionaries that are best ignored.  SignatureT.E.D.

I thought is was just a damned good question to ask a guy whose cat had just had its tail broken that he had let outside. So I'm guessing you think all cats ought to be allowed to roam? Nice religion, dickhead. >>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get >>>hurt or killed?

I'm not an ignorant person, but, for some reason, I don't get the religious connection. > >>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get > >>>hurt or killed?

In other words, because I think cats are safer inside, I must be some sort of fanatical nut. Or at least I think this is what he is getting at. Meanwhile, the OP had a cat with a broken tail, posted HERE before taking him to the vet, then let him out a few days later, "thinking he would never come back." But I'm a nut for asking why he let him out where he could get hurt again. >>>>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get >>>>>hurt or killed? [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > "thinking he would never come back." But I'm a nut for asking > why he let him out where he could get hurt again. Probably because cats don't like being cooped up inside - leastways mine never does. In the last eight years he's never come to any harm outside - what makes you think cats are happier inside? > >>>>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get > >>>>>hurt or killed? [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > never does. In the last eight years he's never come to any harm outside - > what makes you think cats are happier inside? They like staying alive and uninjured, for one thing. I don't wish to get into the age-old "inside vs outside" debate, as it is tiresome, and we all know that it comes down to lots of factors such as how busy the area you live in is with cars and such, whether you are in the UK or the US or other places, etc. I was addressing the OP in this specific situation: that his cat, that was just treated for a broken tail, was let out, even though the OP fully expected he would not come back. Do what you want with your cat, we all have that right. And I have the right to ask a simple question. He can answer me or not, so far looks like he has chosen "not." His right. I feel sorry for the cat, though, as I wonder what the next injury might be. Put it this way" IF this guy lives in a busy urban area, he needs to take another think about letting his cat roam, unless he likes him to be injured or wants to lose him. >>>>>>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get >>>>>>>hurt or killed?

Silly of me I know.... > >>>>>>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get > >>>>>>>hurt or killed? [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > Sorry, thought you would actually answer the question. Silly of me I > know.... Your question was stupid because I never SAID that cats are happier inside. Hope that helps, dickhead. >>>>>>>>>Why do you let your cat roam when you know he might get >>>>>>>>>hurt or killed? [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > Your question was stupid because I never SAID that cats are > happier inside. It seemed quite reasonable. I explained why, said maybe the original cat didn't like being inside and then asked a reasonable question. > Hope that helps, dickhead. Ah profanity. Yes, last refuge of the truly incompetent. You don't have a good reason do you. "Chris Street" <venus.ngfb@chris-street.demon.co.uk> wrote : > >> Sorry, thought you would actually answer the question. Silly of me I > >> know....

I never said that cats are happier inside. Your question therefore was not "reasonable." Period. So why are you asking me why I think something I never said I think? > > Hope that helps, dickhead. > > Ah profanity. Yes, last refuge of the truly incompetent. You don't have a > good reason do you. For what? Calling you a dickhead? You made a completely unfounded assumption, asked me a question based upon it, then gave me sh.t for not answering the question. If you are not a dickhead then you are stupid. > "Chris Street" <venus.ngfb@chris-street.demon.co.uk> wrote : > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > not "reasonable." Period.

I've explained *why* If you are too thick to understand that's not my problem. >>> Hope that helps, dickhead. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > not answering the question.
