200 cats found in home after homeowner calls for help. - Polidicks

[release]NEWNAN, Ga. — Coweta County Animal Control found more than 200 cats inside a Newnan home, after the homeowner called for help. "I'm sure it was overwhelming to the family, and now it's overwhelming to us," Coweta County spokeswoman Patricia Palmer said. Along with the cats found alive at the home on Candlewood Court, animal rescue crews found 25 dead cats in the freezer. A veterinarian at the county shelter examined the 163 domesticated cats. County officials tell Channel 2's Sophia Choi some of them had to be euthanized because they suffered from feline leukemia and other diseases. Animal control crews said they needed special protective suits and breathing gear to get to the cats because of the pervasive stench of animal urine and the fear of possible health problems from diseased animals. Palmer said another fear was possible attacks from the feral cats after two rescue crew members were bitten.[/release] full article: [url]http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/200-dead-feral-cats-found-inside-newnan-home/nD8Qh/[/url] I wont link the whole thing so that i dont have to worry about getting b& and so garry doesnt have another lawsuit against him. sorry guys.

Why keep dead cats in the freezer

[QUOTE=AMG;32709957]Why keep dead cats in the freezer[/QUOTE]You clearly have never played Dwarf Fortress. Cats are good eating.

Don't cats have a parasite in their shit, that can infect humans? It's the reason pregnant females can't change out the cat's litter box, if the parasites infect the baby they can damage it, but they aren't "harmful" to adults. I personally think the parasite can make the human feel the need to hoard cats, or trigger some sort of preexisting mental condition (explaining why not every human effected with the parasite wants to horde cats) that would make humans horde cats. These cat horders do not have a stable state of mind, they can live among this disgusting pool of feces, urine, and corpses without it bothering them, and they always justify themselves for the death of the cats in their house. Call me retarded but that's really how it feels.

Why didn't i kill those people? Next time i will.

What compels people to keep 200 fucking cats in their home?

In mice and rats it removes the fear they have of cats by making the cat's scent attractive to them. It's possible the same could happen to humans.

That Toxoplasma Gondii shit is really interesting

[QUOTE=Camundongo;32712917]Psst --- no-one likes a pedant.[/QUOTE] Don't be mad. You're trying to describe a parasite without even understanding how to appropriately write the name of said parasite, and no one likes a person who talks about something they have very limited (or incorrect) knowledge of. Not to mention your post was just a repeat of mine, but that's ok. I'm doing you a favor here, Barnaby. The more you know. Just to clarify: Genus species T. gondii

I wonder why anyone would have so many cats in their home. I saw a couple of episodes of a show about helping animals and a couple of times they go to these houses full of cats. Do people feel the need to have as many cats as possible?

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;32713138]Woah, is this actually true?[/QUOTE] Yeah, if you look up T. gondii or cat parasite you can find quite a bit of information on it. If you want all the details, I suggest this one: [url]http://schizophreniabulletin.oxfordjournals.org/content/33/3/757.full[/url] It's actually quite fascinating.

[QUOTE] ...and so garry doesnt have another lawsuit against him...[/QUOTE] What have I missed while I was gone?

I'm glad they put the dead ones in the freezer, cause it would have been disgusting in that house if they had dead cats laying around the place.

Shit like this happens once a month in Georgia. fucking disgusting.
