One time I was moving and driving a huge Dodge pick-up. Doing about 70 mph on US 63 near Columbia. No time to do anything but see the mess in the rear view mirror. My then-wife and then-sister-in-law were with me and both of them went off on me afterward like I did it on purpose. They're like "HOW COULD YOU??" What the hell?!

Thats the other thing that sucks is the guy told me he saw our cat laying in the road so he stopped to look at him and pick him up but he was already ran over. So he called the city to come pick it up and he told me all this tonight when he was walking his dog

ROFL I had a roommate in Lawrence who did the same damned thing. He was babysitting his Mom's cats in our flat and one of them bolted for the door.
So I'm coming home from the bar and walking down the alley between Mass St. and New Hampshire, between 8th st. and 9th st., and I see this black cat go bolting across the alley and my roommate about 30ft behind him cussing up a storm.:D
He finally got tired of chasing him, but the cat was an inside cat anyway and he just came back to the door after a few minutes.

That cat was something else. I don't know how she trained him, but you could walk over to him, put your shoulder down, and he'd jump right up and wrap himself around your neck and just hang out there while you walked around.

Yeah,it sucks....that's where cats and squirrels are alike somewhat.They either know to stay away from the road when a car is near....or,go for it, Rocky running on the beach style.

cats hate people. sorry for your loss bro.

I have a houseful that have seriously defeated the odds then. I have too many cats (8) and the story of how that came about is too long and has nothing to do with the subject at hand. But I have a 15 year old indoor/outdoor cat as well as two who are now 9, one that is 8 and 2 under the age of 3. The other two seldom go out but that is by their own choice.

The funny part is that we kept our cats inside all the time until we got the one who is now 14. He would streak to the door if he heard the handle jiggle when he was a kitten. After a few months of fighting him over this we gave up and let him go out. The one who is now 15 was scared to death of going outside and would sit and howl at the back door (went out the front) like he was lost and couldn't find his way back. Now the 14 year old doesn't go out very often (maybe once a month) but the older one goes out most every day.

I will say, I have a large backyard and most of them hang there a lot so that may be part of why they have been able to survive against the odds. Or maybe we just take that good of care of them. :D

BTW, they are all fixed. I insist on that as soon as possible after they hit 6 months or so in age.

saw this posted in another thread but it might be a great tribute

Condolences.
I'm more of a dog person, but to each his own. Quite often I would rather talk to a pet than to a person. Not judgemental, and aren't gonna give me a speech.

My condolences man. About a year ago I went through losing a cat I'd had for seven years, and it's a very difficult thing. Take comfort in the fact he likely didn't suffer. Mine wasn't so lucky, and my final memories of that cat can still make me cry.

I guess if we didn't get some tactless animal hating prick shooting his mouth off in a mourning thread, it wouldn't be ChiefsPlanet, would it? :shake:

Newsflash, idiot - cats don't hate people. Cats hate YOU because you suck.

Now go clean your ****ing trailer.

when i was a kid we lost so many cats to coyotes and hawks and shit we just stopped getting cats.

I hope you get over it somehow.

I'm a stupid head...

You need to get a Tiger. If that thing gets hit by a car, well, the car is going to be dead.

Another lowlife scumbag joins the party. Quick, somebody find vailpass!
