Outraged!

I was curious about that too, yorkster.

Noah'sMommy.. you handled that better than I would of. I'm furious! You never punish a cat for it's instinct.

My cats our mousers. Always have been, always will be.

Check out the last photo. I have NO clue how my mom got Maximus on Chance and got a photo. He must of been very asleep.

One day Jenn came home to find the screen off the hamster cage off and one of them missing. It was Minimus. She went upstairs in tears to my parents bedroom when suddenly Scooter came running in. Suddenly she saw something and dove for it. It was Minimus. We think Scooter carried him upstairs to my parents room with the intent to play and then eat.

But Minimus is the bitey one and we assume he put up a fight. Scooter is very skittish. Both hamsters still live to this day and the cats leave the cage alone. But we dare not trust to leave the screen off.

Ramanth,

That picture of Chance and Maximus is too cute!!

I will go back an check to see if there is any response....hold on. :)

Nope, not yet.....

Thanks. :D I also have a pic of him sitting on Chance's belly with his eyes starting to open.

I hope that person feels scolded and guilty and does not punish the cat.

Wow, I really can't believe the ignorance of that person. Maybe he/she should rent The Lion King, LOL! It's the "circle of life", dude. Sorry, I know this isn't a funny issue, but I'm honestly amazed that anyone could be so stupid. Noah's Mom, I don't believe you were too too tough with your reply. I would have been a lot meaner. As a matter of fact, I probably would have been downright rude.

Ramanth, your kittys are adorable! Scooter the orange one looks like one of mine.

Ramanth,

Does Scooter like like my Noah? (he's the orange tabby in my signature) Too cute!

Thelmaluu,

Thanks! I wanted to be a whole lot meaner, but I fugured kids had access to that site... :)

Noah's Mom,

You stated that reply very well. I wish people would use their heads before they get any animal. It's a shame really. I would be surprised if that person actually liked her/his cats! You know that one "acused" female kitty is going to suffer because that owner seemed to have absolutely no love or respect for the poor animal. I had a wonderful kitty when I was growing up who killed my beloved parakeet but we all knew that it was just Felicia being a cat and doing what cats do. We were so upset that our beloved Sasha died, but it was our fault for letting the parakeet have free roam of the house with a cat.

If I would have seen that post I would have said something very similar to what you said. There is no excuse for having so little knowledge about an animal that you have agreed to protect! I am quite angry with that person's post and I hope he/she opts to find those cats a better home :(

Well done Kelly - I'd have been spluttering with rage and incapable of such a good reply. My three, who are outdoor cats - do hunt, they are well fed and homed - but instinct will out every time. I have felt very sorry when any of mine brings me a 'lovely' present be it field mouse or bird, but it's the nature of the 'beast' aint it? I'd hate to think that humans could 'breed out' a cats nature and make it into something 'man made'.
My neighbour did complain about my cats scratching the fence!! Oh well;)
Bagel does however bring me lovely presents from another neighbours pond - of live frogs!! She carries them so carefully and never hurts them - she seems fascinated by them! I simply take them home - the neighbour in question thinks this is such a hoot!!
Lynne.

You were right to be outraged and responded very accurately and appropriately - in fact all posts are AMEN and on target!

Some people don't deserve pets. I hope this person doesn't have children. I perish the thought of the warped psyches being developed in that household!

Pet ownership is an important responsibility and often an exercise in humility, and is only successful when there is an understanding and appreciation of the true nature of the other.

Come to think of it, dealing with other people is really no different.

;)

Noah actually looks like Nike. He passed a few years ago but Scooter and Nike were most likely half brothers even though Scooter was born a year or so after we lost Nike. They came from the same farm and both looked just like the Alpha Male.

But Nike had a long beautiful tail like Noah. Scooter was born with a nub tail. Other than that, Nike and Scooter looked identical.

I have a pic of Scooter that better shows his tail, or lack there of. Just need to get it scanned. :D

Tuxluvr: LMAO!!! How very true.

Noahs'Mommy: I'm curious if the person ever wrote back....

Ramanth,

I would love to see pictures of Scooter and Nike!

No response yet, I have a feeling that person won't. I don't know if I would...

Ramanth, I took liberties with Ramanth & Chance's picture in photoshop.....I just love this picture!
