Landlady's english is very good, but Mr J... Where did YOU learn english? 😱

まつです

少しゴカイがあるようです

オレは家主にねこぱしーをおくり、家主がとうこうするさいほんやくもしてるのです

小さいねこのてってですまほむつかしいのです

Just moments, you may misunderstand a little bit. At first, I send neko-pathy to my landlady and she makes these posts and translation, because it's difficult for small cat's hands to tap mobile phone.

小さいねこみんなねこぱしーするですよ

むごんであつまってるでしょ

All the small cats can use neko-pathy... Haven't you seen lots of small cats are gathering without any meows...

Mr J, is that why my little cat loves to stare at the fridge? I think he is getting neko-pathy messages through it. Or maybe he is contacting aliens instead?

straycatj

Hm, it's the message that he says give some yummies in it to you... Please accept his message to you...

He loves to lurk outside and have a long peek of whatever is going on there.

i'm gonna be real with you guys i do not give a shit about people "stealing" outdoor cats. i don't feel bad for people who let their cat free roam and found out that someone down the block unknowingly took it in because it was neglected enough for them to think it was a stray.

sheepsbian

it's funny you know because when i made this post i wasn't even necessarily pro stealing cats i was simply saying "i don't feel bad for you if you neglect your cat to the point of someone thinking it's a stray". but now after hundreds of notes from absolutely dumbass outdoor cat owners wailing about how they're good owners for letting their cat outside after getting run over by cars/stolen by people/killed by animals i have to say that i think all of you should have your cats stolen and i, personally, am beginning a road trip to steal them all

I had a cat who we let outside, because it's what he wanted. We didn't ignore him, we didn't mistreat him, he was incredibly happy and healthy. But he was killed by a vicious dog a few blocks over from us, and we found out, later, through the grapevine. You can have your own opinions about indoor or outdoor cats, but don't pretend you're morally superior because or your "side". Don't pretend that it wasn't the fault of some asshole with a violent dog, that THEY made violent. Staffordshire bull terriers can be the nicest sweetest dogs, as long as you're a competent owner. My cat strayed too far and was unfortunate enough to meet his end, at the hands of some twat and his dog. It's not even like i knew there were violent dogs in the area, if i had known, I wouldn't have let him out.

"i had known, i wouldn't have let him out."

this is the problem. this right here. you literally CANNOT KNOW all the dangers that exist to your free roaming cat. it sucks that your neighborhood had an aggressive dog, but yes, it IS your responsibility to make decisions that keep your cat safe. you are responsible for the circumstances that led to his death. and that sucks, and i am sorry he died, but you need to ACCEPT where you went wrong, figure out how to deal with that feeling, and do better in the future.

you can't blame a dog in its own yard when you ended up letting YOUR CAT end up in his yard. YOU need to be pro-active and not let your pets get into situations where they can be mauled to death.

@danitydan dumping your cat outside to die a horrible, painful death was mistreating him, whether you want to acknowledge that or not.

hate this goddamn website so fucking much because it enables people to put their empathy in a goddamn trash compactor. none of you fucks would say this to somebody face to face, but speaking through your funny computer screen just happens to delete all forethought. as if youre talking to an npc in an rpg or some shit like goddamn this motherfucker's cat got mauled to fucking bits and you all have the au fucking dacity to say this shit . goddamn this is mind boggling it really fucking is

meangirlnurse

this guy's cat got mauled to bits because he dumped it outside and didn't care about the consequences. i'm sorry that you think that in real life we would all pat him soothingly on the ass and feel very sad for the incredibly predictable outcome of his choices

If y'all think you can keep a cat who wants to be outside, inside for eternity then be my guest. My cat SCREAMS at the back door to go outside. She and i both know the consequences of what the world outside our doors are like. She quite familiar with the vet clinic staff, which is costing me a fortune. She's a 6 lbs, stone cold, mean bitch and the neighborhood knows it.

meangirlnurse

bragging about how often your cat has to go to the vet is not actually a very effective argument for your position here

if y'all think you can keep a toddler who wants to touch the hot stove from touching the hot stove then be my guest. my toder SCREAMS when I am cooking to touch the stove. she and I both know the consequences of what the hot stove is like. she quite familiar with the pediatrician, which is costing me a fortune.

Ppl w outdoor cats be like I’m ok with them getting run over but I draw the line at someone taking them to a safe environment

Imagine if people applied the “outdoor cat” logic to dogs too. We’d have a bunch of dogs running outside freely, collecting parasites and diseases, getting hit by cars, harassing/killing any smaller animals and breeding like crazy. And when you told someone that they probably shouldn’t let their dog outside without a leash because it’s not exactly safe, they’d just be like “oh well you know he’s happier that way and all that stuff is just a normal part of a dog’s life lol what can ya do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”.

Honest to God, this is what living in the rural South is like.

Our neighbors have a dog that literally roams the neighborhood. She has been hit by cars twice. She’s been infested with mange. She shits in every yard but her own. The difference is that… like, most people would agree these people are shitty, irresponsible pet owners for allowing their dog to do this. We have leash laws, etc., for dogs, and if it was anywhere but Kentucky where animal welfare laws are shit, law enforcement would probably come make them keep their dog confined to their own property. If she bites someone, they’d sure as fuck be liable. But everyone jumps up in defense if it’s a cat living the exact same life because “oh he’s got freedom, he’s happy, he’s not as ‘domesticated’ as a dog!”

Can I then apply dog logic to cats? Because something I’ve noticed is that cats don’t get socialized… like at all. The whole “Asshole cat” stigma? It’s because said cat was never socialized and desensitized to things!

When I got Holly, I socialized her the same way I would have socialized a puppy. She got to meet a bunch of new people, she got taught how harnesses and leashes work, and she got exposed to a TON of ‘uncomfortable’ situations. Car rides? Exposure. Going with me to Petshmo? Exposure. Being around a large group of people? EXPOSURE!

Wanna know the result? I now have a cat that’s perfectly comfortable going on walks, going on car rides, and actually prefers her leash to being in a carrier! She loves people, and she’s friendly and not shy or defensive even if the person approaching her is a total stranger. She likes going places, even the vets office, because those aren’t terrifying experiences to her anymore because she got used to a lot of the stimuli as a 5 month old kitten (which is how old she was when I adopted her from the shelter). Every person who meets her remarks about how friendly and confident she is. That’s directly a result of how I socialized her as a kitten.

My other two cats weren’t socialized this way and they’re skittish around other people, don’t really like going anywhere other than “home,” and would rather die than be on a leash. They fight going into their carriers (Holly sleeps in hers like it’s a bed), and going to the vet is a terrifying experience for them (I only take them places that I absolutely HAVE to).

Socialize your cats! It’s not as common as socializing dogs, but it’s really important to do, your cats will be way more confident and adaptable.
