Someone hit a cat in the street in front of my house.
The person who hit the cat killed it. He stopped and picked up the cat and deposited it on my front yard (city property actually) next to the fire hydrant and left a note. I have had 7 people stop by my house, knock on the door and tell me my cat was hit and is dead laying next to the fire hydrant. After the first person told me I called up animal control and they said they would be out to pick it up sometime today. After the third person knocked on my door I posted a note on the door saying that I know there is a dead cat in my yard and no it's not mine and yea, I have contacted animal control. After the second person ignored my note and knocked on my door I posted a sign on the hydrant that said "this cat dos not belong to me, it is only laying in my yard". I got two more people knocking on my door about this dead cat. One was from my "new" neighbor who said I was insensitive. I told her that she was more than welcome to remove the cat to her property. She got pissed and left. The other was from a hippy couple that was out walking their dog (without a leash). The guy apologized to me about his dog. I looked at him like he was three different shades of stupid. He explained to me that his dog had found my dead cat and had grabbed it and ran off with it and that it was in my neighbors yard (the bitch who complained). He asked me if I wanted it moved back into my yard. Animal control showed up to pick up the cat, I had to tell them where it was. The animal control officer told the hippy couple that city law required them to have their dog on a leash and that if they didn't have one he was going to write them a citation. His wife/partner bitched about him not having the dog on a leash in the first place.... |

Very funny. My faith in humanity just slipped a few more notches.
|
|
That's crazy. Did this happen before or after Sarge posted his "I'll be back" thread?
|
|
Uh... Dude? I think your cat has crossed over the rainbow bridge. |
|

<---biting tongue.
<---laughing uncontrollably, but y'all already knew that. |
|
Way before.
The cat was already in rigger mortis.

KA3B, ummmmm I'm sorry to tell you this but your cat is dead, It's lying by the fire hydrant. I think it got hit by a car.
Sorry dude, COZ |

You should have taken a poll and seen how many of the idiots were voting for Kerry.

Your cat story was funny but not as funny as the Free Cat sign
|
|
+1 |
|
|
I think there both really funny. |
|
|
The first thing I thought when I saw the thred title was where is Sarge at and does he have an alibi? |
|
|
As soon as I saw the dead cat that free cat sign came to mind.
|
|
|
I would have just kicked it back into the street. |
|
|
I love that pick. For some reason, my wife hates it. |

|
That's funny. I would have just threw it over the fence in the ghetto apartments next door.

someone found a dead cat near the wooded area behind the vet clinic i used to work at. i had to go out and pull it off the ground (it's head was frozen to the earth).

Someone hit a cat in the street in front of my house.
Don't your street have sewers ??? |
|
No sewers that I can get to. I am not lifting up a 200 lb manhole cover just to dump a cat into.
I called animal control since "by law" cats are supposed to have tags or ID implants within the city limits. That's what animal control gets paid to do, haul off dead animals.

I resisted this thread thinking that it could not possibly hold anything for me... once again, I am proven wrong
|
|
Why didn't you just bury the damn cat instead of wasting tax payers dollars?

I can't believe that we have people here that rely on the gov to take care of stupid dead cat. Give me a break!! Throw it in the ditch or the trash, throw it back in the street, tie it to your bumper and go for a drive, whatever. Really, I knew it was bad, but if we can't even get people to ween themselves from gov dependence in the realm of dead cat disposal, then this country is sunk.

The cat was packing parachutes? |

"this cat dos not belong to me, it is only laying in my yard". Then did they ask you about your grammar Sorry.. I had to |

Remember that when you're out sleuthing your own burglaries and shit. Seriously though, lighten up. It's intended to be a funny story, and it is. What's he going to prove by "handling his own dead cat"? Animal control already exists, it's not like he got a whole new agency funded or some shit. You wanna complain about the DEA or BATF or some other frivolous agency great, I'll probably even agree with you. It's fucking animal control dude, don't head up to the bell tower yet. |

What the rosebud you rosebud.
What if there is no ditch by my house you rosebud rosebud? What if I don't want to toss it in my trash and have it stinking up the can for the next 6 days because trash pick-up day is on Wed you rosebud rosebud? What if I don't want to toss it in the street because I have a little pride in my neighborhood and I don't take kindly to trailer trash rosebud rosebud like you trashing up my neighborhood, why should I stoop to your level. What if the FUCKING CITY ALREADY TAXES ME FOR ANIMAL CONTROL and it's the FUCKING JOB OF ANIMAL CONTROLTO REMOVE DEAD ANIMALS from city property. Why don't you just go rosebud yourself rosebud.

Because I already pay for animal control to remove dead animals from city property.
It's their job. And because on the off chance that the owner of the cat MIGHT of had an ID chip implant in it, then animal control can read it, contact the owners and let them know that they were stupid and let their cat roam the neighborhood and it was hit by a car and killed. Where in the fuck am I going to bury the fucking cat anyways? In my yard? It's not my fucking cat. I am going to toss it in my truck and drive to the boonies to bury it? Fuck that. Tell you what, give me your address and I'll mail you the next dead cat I find to YOU can bury it.

You live in Washington or does KA3B live in yer area? I think this should hit the PETA forums asking for advice. Not Here. I mean, what are we gonna do, ARGUE with him?!?? I guess my advice is to put a Kerry sticker on it or something. Oh, and make sure the feline isn't obstructing the passages/access to fire hydrant in front of said house. Karma Sucks. Bigtime. |
