I went outside to smoke while the kids are
napping, and i saw an orange tint through
the door, i open it and theres a cat
laying on the rug, its cold and rainy
today, it came in the mudroom part of the
house and was purring and rubbing on my
legs so i pet it and stuff hehe, i love
animals, but it was standing at the door
like it wanted in my huose, but it has a
flea collar on so i know it belongs to
someone, i had to sorta shoe it outside so
i could go back in the house, i felt bad
for kicking it out in the rain, it was a
girl cat i know cuz i shoed it outside and
it rolled over and stretched out so i
rubbed its belly and she was lickin me and
purring, if she didnt have a collar on i
prob woulda let her in my house lol, but i
had to let her outside so she could go to
her home, i think its an outdoor cat i
always see it outside and it used to hang
out on jasons car when i first got here, i
just feel bad for kicking it out back in
the rainy cold weather. i stayed out there
for alil petting her and stuff but then i
was like you gotta go to your home. Im
weird like that ill take a stray animal in
and feed it and stuff, thats how we got
our cat we found him in a ditch in nc, it
poured with rain so we went out in the
ditch in the pouring rain to rescue the
kittens, they werent old they were teeny
tiny, salem was the one that came to the
food, some of them died but we had that
cat since 1998 but when my sister went to
fla with her 2 cats salem ran away and
hasnt came back yet . i have a soft spot
for animals i guess i feel bad for the
poor cat but it belongs to someone.

Hey there
Dont worry about it, cats are highly
adaptable to almost all kinds of weather
(unless you live in alaska), and they can
never starve as much cos they always find
something, I have 4 cats and I'm a guy lol
I keep helping
animals in trouble, but in your case I
dont think you did very bad thing cos It
probably lives around. One of the cats I
have is invalid on the back legs, some kid
hit him, broke his back and now he lives
with me. Was thinking about surgery, went
to hospital they did examination and said
that there is under 1% chance even with
surgery it gonna walk again... I dont want to
torchure him even more so I decided not to
do the operation, He's pretty happy right
now cos he has lots of food, does whatever
he wants He even has a
girlfriend

Grr i had just finished typing a response
and Liam hit the esc key.
anyways, we had a kitty that had a collar
o just walk in our ouse one day when we
had left the door open and when i called
the # on her collar it was disconnected.
you gotta remember when you live in
housing ppl move and leave animals all the
time
thats true but it looked like it was fed
and taken care of , her fur was all clean
and stuff, it was just a pink flea collar
that looked not old at all. not declawed
though she tried kneading my leg but it
has been around here a while maybe random
people are feeding her i dunno, makes me
wonder there are a few other cats that run
around as well younger then this one that
have no collars so hmm

Sounds like something I would have done,
even though my husband would kill me!!!
He hates the cat we have now, but I had
her before I met him. I told him, if he
wanted me he had to take in my kitty
too!!!

Poor Kitty Posted: 05-07-07 10:48am
I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree
with everyone here. I think it's
unconciensable (sp?) that you left an
animal who obviously was friendly back out
in the rain. It just breaks my heart to
know that a poor cat seeking refuge was
turned out. Why couldn't you have at
least taken it to a shelter? Did it ever
occur to you that maybe the cat may have a
microchip and maybe it could be returned
to its rightful owner?
I have four cats at home, one of which is
a hurricane orphan (I picked her out at a
place where I was doing an inspection).
She was very sweet and I couldn't have
left her for the world. Maybe we just
think differently about things but I would
have handled the situation differently.
I hope the cat finds its way to a more
accepting person.

the cat has been around since last year,
someone is taking care of it, and i have 2
kids under 2 and it wasnt declawed nor do
i have anything for the cat, grocery store
is closed mondays. if it keeps coming to
my door i might take it in but also im
prob leaving in july as well so what would
i do with it then? i dont know anyone here
and everyone has seen the cat around as
well, if i had no kids i woulda for sure
taken it in my home but im a bit iffy on a
undeclawed cat around my children. Jason
might kill me as well lol, my parents cat
used to attack my poor husband. I wanted
to take it in i really did but its not a
stray, someone has it , prob an outdoor
cat, it was cleaned and grommed and well
fed, the collar seemed fairly new as well,
i didnt wanna take the cat in and the
ownders are out looking for it and cant
find it because i have it, i havent seen
anything at the post office etc about
missing cats either. but eh.
. i have a soft spot
for animals i guess i feel bad for the
poor cat but it belongs to someone.
