Poor bedraggled kitty

[Cataholic]

I don't understand the reason for posting this, other than shock value.
Posting a picture & not say where you found it, or any other explanations
is just spreading the misery around.

I could post 100 sad, pitiful animal pictures, but why if they serve no purpose? Please don't do this.

Yeah, I am right there with you. I see this stuff from another member on here and for the life of me, I can't quite grasp what the thrill is all about. Better to spend the time actually doing something about the inhumanities of man, then highlighting them. It isn't like any of us don't know what goes on.

Is this a pet site or isn't it? There's no thrill, I can assure you, and I'm offended that anyone would think that I get a thrill out of a cat in distress. And I don't see what the fuss is all about. The story has a happy ending, even if I can't supply details. It serves as a reminder as to why we rescue in the first place. Yeah, I know, people want everything wrapped up in a pink ribbon.

Oh poor sweet little angle, I just want to cry....
Please do keep us updated.
My husband said if I adopted one more cat he would leave me.
I would take the chance with this angel and if he left I would not want to be married to him anyway.
He would miss my cooking.
My baking.
My laughter
Clean underwear
And please send updated pictures weather the news is good or bad, I want to know.

OR:
Why not wait till you have the information to share (with picture) and
then post the story if you want to share it? Why drag this out in dribs &
drabs unless you are aiming for a 60+ page cliff hanger thread ? Pitiful.

To just post a pitiful ,sad picture & say, I'll get back to you on the details
sounds strange. IMO.

I do not have to ask your permission or for your opinion to post something. You certainly don't take the feelings of others into consideration when you post. If it bother you that much, put me on Ignore. You'd be doing us both a favor.

I wish to say my Thanks to Lizbud & Cataholic for turning a Very Nice Precious Wittle Needed Baby Kitty Thread into a Horrible Disgusting Gesture of B/S.. If this is the way you feel about this poor baby needing help = then I so feel sorry for your babies && you both need to travel on.. I as well as Mary very rare voice my options on here; But felt that your disgust to Mary was uncalled for.. Huggss for Mary..

Ditto.

Mary has no history of posting for attention...lighten up everyone.

Ok! guys! I think its enough, sheesh soooooo many fights here! I think Mary had a reason to make this thread, even if she didn't let her do it Lizbud, its not necessary to see and read every thread.

I agree totally with you on this one.

I'm not a cat person and not allowed to go near them but when I saw this picture my first thought was that no matter what, if I could rescue and help that poor kitten I would do it . I'd rather see a picture of a bedraggled kitten needing help than seeing some of the posts that don't belong on a pet forum.

Say what? Did you read the OP? The second post from the OP? If you did, you would have seen instantly that there were no facts. There was no cry for help, monetary or otherwise. There was absolutely NOTHING there for anyone to go on. My goodness, the OP said it herself!

There was no point in posting this thread. None. My post was nothing more than my opinion. There was nothing mean or harsh in it. Please- READ. You posted your opinion...as you do often enough. Not sure where you get your 'rare options' comment...

[wombat2u2004]

There was no point in posting this thread.

Yes there was.
I wanted to read it.
And so did lots of other folks.
So go take a hike and cause your trouble elsewhere.

Ok, guys, listen up! I have had it with fights! There are so many fights on pettalk. Listen, those who agree that Mary had no reason for posting this thread, leave this thread like I leave some when I don't agree, I have seen many threads, old ones and new ones, some which I don't agree with, I leave, no reason to post something.
Those who agree that Mary has a point, stay on this thread and continue your talk about the picture. Mourn, do whatever you want.. ok! now please stop the fight, I am feeling really sick about the fights, there were quite a few in my class today. Thank You! for reading and I hope you don't post anything those who disagree with Mary's thread. Thanks!

OHHHH...you mean like the page after page of fights between you and Blue? OHH.. I so totally get it now. Totally.

I know, maybe I should just have a long stream of "I forgot to take my medication this week" type posts, come back and apologize and all is forgiven type of attitude?

Face it- we ALL have different opinions on what is appropriate. And, until Karen tells me I can't post- I will continue to post.

There was NOTHING about my initial post that was rude, out of line, etc. Nothing. In fact, the OP was the one that had a quite vicious attack against a long standing member of PT.

And, don't forget- the OP posted this thread in the DH, not in general, not in Cat, the DH. That, to me, makes it fair game for comments.

If you don't like my comments, don't read them. Place me on ignore- as if I care. If you cannot see the lunacy behind telling someone that is critical of a post or thread, that you are critical of their post or thread, there is no hope for you at all.
