I signed up for catster and I was sooooo excited to make Pixie a page and I was searching cats pics while I was on there I went to the purebred section and came to this picture of a cat soemone killed and the poor thing is cut open with everything there :( I can't stop crying!! Why would someone put that in there??? I'm trying to find out how to contact whoever runs the place to get it off. I never wanna search around in there again maybe I'll just stick to pet talk I know it's safe :(

OMG that is AWFUL!!!! Thanks for not linking to it, though. It would have torn me up inside to see that. Hopefully it gets taken off soon. :( :( :( :( People are SICK! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Did you e-mail them to let them know? Did they respond? Let us know. Some of us visit Catster and would like to know that they take care of these things.

How frightening for you. Makes me want to cry just thinking of it. Thanks for the warning.

Omg... I just saw what you probably saw........ That is extremely horrifying!!!! O_O :( :( :( :( :( I'm shocked someone would do such a thing... and then under Pet Peeves, they said stuff like: "Getting run over by a car" and stuff... Omg.... :( :( :(

I contacted Catster and they've supposedly suspended that page so others can't see it.. Hopefully they will take it down completely.. :(

...Well I was on Catster today making pages for my babies.

Just to warn you all... its still there.

I was on there assuming it had been removed and was browsing around looking at cute kitties... and I saw it... :( :mad: That's the most horrible thing I've seen in my entire life...

:( :mad:

I know I saw some pornographic images on the dogster site once and told them about it. they removed that day. i'll go to dogster and catster if i have to to get the photo you're referring to off that site. i even told them once at dogster when someone posted a cat, and, they removed it. isn't it the same people for catster that it is for dogster? wow, i'll go see if it's still there and maybe if several people send emails, they'll wake up faster.

does anyone remember the name that the photo is under? there are about 1400 pics in the purebred section, but, i'm going through them to see if that photo is still there. it would just be easier to search if i knew the name it was under.

Not really sure... And I don't really wanna go back and check. I've already emailed them so it should be gone by now.

Ok, it's not like I wanted to see it, I just wanted to make sure it was gone. I know the few times I reported someone to dogster, it was always taken off. So, let's hope they did with this one.

I took a quick look to see if I could find it this morning and I couldn't see it luckily so I think it must be gone.

*Phew*

At least at dogster, they've been really fast at reacting to things like that.

Yes thanks to Karen and Paul also! Pet talk is the best!!

Guster Girl: Oh I know you didn't want to see it I just meant I didn't wanna go back and look. Thanks for your help on trying to get it off.

It's ok, I didn't think you thought that, but, I just wanted to make sure no one did. :)

I got this email today in case you guys were wondering

Jodie,

We're sorry you saw what some misguided, sick person thought was funny.

The cat was deleted and the user banned at 7:19 EDT on November 11th.

There are a lot of sick people out there, but rest assured that
particular
user is no longer part of Catster.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad they had the courtesy to respond. I only wish they monitored the postings more closely.
