we gotta survive: portland owner barricades and calls cops after 22 pound cat attacks baby - Polidicks

[QUOTE=TheLolrus;44198964]That's one fat cat[/QUOTE] thats one buff as fuck cat, like this monster my gramma has, it could shred aluminum cans if it was annoyed enough also its never loved and lives in a freezing house on a small dish of food each day...so ya its very unpleasant [editline]11th March 2014[/editline] still calling the cops is a little much, though they probably thought it was rabid or something

Its not a stray cat, they called the cops on their own cat. :v:

You really cant defend your baby from a cat? You have no testicles. Pussification of america.

Lol they locked themselves in with their good loyal dog, while not letting the evil baby-eating cat inside [editline]11th March 2014[/editline] clearly proof that cats are creatures of the devil

[QUOTE=crazyjames;44203378]You really cant defend your baby from a cat? You have no testicles. Pussification of america.[/QUOTE] Correct. If this happened where i live, let's just say the cat would be no more

[QUOTE=LVL FACTORY;44204166]Correct. If this happened where i live, let's just say the cat would be no more[/QUOTE] big man beating up a cat

That's one fat pussy!

lets be real here pissed off cats are fucking terrifying i'd definitely do the same thing

[QUOTE=LVL FACTORY;44204166]Correct. If this happened where i live, let's just say the cat would be no more[/QUOTE] My buddy had a cat that shit on his kitchen table. That cat became worm food.

[QUOTE=Del91;44204490]My buddy had a cat that shit on his kitchen table. That cat became worm food.[/QUOTE] You're friends a fucking moron if he killed his cat because he couldn't litter train it

[QUOTE=Del91;44204490]My buddy had a cat that shit on his kitchen table. That cat became worm food.[/QUOTE] Now that's ridiculous, but justified

[QUOTE=Del91;44204490]My buddy had a cat that shit on his kitchen table. That cat became worm food.[/QUOTE] I hope you're not serious, because that is immensely disturbing.

I am and he hated that cat. My buddy is a little...rough around the edges? He's pretty much a hick, hunter, etc. I think it had shit on his kitchen table more than once and hissed at anyone that came near it. It was also an outside cat. He's a nice guy, but he's blunt about that kind of shit. He got rid of the cat and got dogs instead.

[QUOTE=LVL FACTORY;44204960]Now that's ridiculous, but justified[/QUOTE] yeah dude it's totally justifiable to kill a pet because it pooped on a table. totally.

eh, not really actually. But feel free to have your own opinion.

[QUOTE=Del91;44204490]My buddy had a cat that shit on his kitchen table. That cat became worm food.[/QUOTE] This is probably one of the most textbook examples of disproportionate retribution that I've ever seen.

[QUOTE=DemonElite;44205189]yeah dude it's totally justifiable to kill a pet because it pooped on a table. totally.[/QUOTE] Well, it's a excuse, not a proper one or a good one, but a excuse is a excuse, and one is better than none.

[QUOTE=TheLolrus;44200253]And commenters are defending the cat. Not sure if they should be.[/QUOTE] I think they should. The baby pulled its tail, the cat scratched the baby. The dumb mother KICKED the cat, and the cat got mad.

I've got a fat Himalayan cat (the same type of cat in the news story) but he's just a big lovable pillow, sometimes he sits in your lap like a big baby. I can't imagine how aggressive theirs was that they had to call the police.

[QUOTE=FreakyMe;44200185]I stated that the other scenario I came up with was more likely than the two animals teaming up (which the article implies the parents believe). I was responding to the wording of the article, which is presumably based on hearsay and the parents' testimony. It says they called the police and claimed that both animals were attacking the baby, so I thought up a more plausible scenario based on my knowledge of the 'soft' science that makes up our current understanding of animal psychology and what could have possibly happened between a baby and the two pets. Without knowing the breed of the dog and more information about what happened of course, it is all speculation. I suppose I was hoping to start a discussion of the importance of understanding the minds of the animals we trust with the lives of our defenseless offspring. I've met people who leave their three and five year old children alone with large breed dogs, without ever considering that they may be setting up a pattern that has a chance of ending in tragedy or at the very least life-altering injury later on. From my perspective, it seems like common sense to not allow infants and young children to be in close proximity to potentially dangerous animals without being within a distance that allows immediate or prompt intervention. Other people disagree and swear by the trustworthiness and their pets. What do you think?[/QUOTE] The article in no way implies in any way that the dog and the cat were in cahoots.

[QUOTE=Del91;44210852]eh, not really actually. But feel free to have your own opinion.[/QUOTE] Killing an animal because you couldn't teach it to shit in a box is pretty damn psycho is you ask me. Especially considering I've raised kittens and the way you teach them to use the litterbox is to literally just put them in the box and show them how to dig and the rest in instinct. long story short you're friend shouldn't be allowed to have dogs because he'll probably shoot it for not pissing on the newspaper

what a pussy
