Dog / Cat question: If you knew...

[ROYC75]

And saw your dog kill the neighbor's cat in your yard, would you tell them?

Yes?

No?

[kysirsoze]

Unless I knew them to be unreasonable assholes I would tell them. No liability and I'd rather do the right thing and have them be dicks.

If your dog got out and killed it, then probably not. They could sue you for their loss which in most cases would be the value of the cat. Tree fiddy ought to just about cover it.

This cat would leave for days at a time; constantly had gummed up fur on his back from laying under cars in the driveway / getting oil on his fur. Once i was about 3 miles away on my bicycle, and I saw him; he looked right at me and slinkered down into a storm drain.

My brother was riding his bike home one evening, and came rushing inside to get a big duffle bag. He came back with the cat, and said he was fighting 3 other cats at the apartment complex down the street.

We once witnessed him fighting a possum in the yard. A while later, a deer had stumbled into our yard after getting hit by a car and died, and my dad made the joke that "I"ll be damned...Snoopy bagged a deer".

When he got hit by the car, my car lost one of his teeth; and so when he would yawn and close his mouth, the upper tooth that was missing would make the bottom tooth push up his upper lip by his nose....so he always had sort of a street tuff snarl / Elvis thing going on .

That cat was a tough MF. Dude only came inside to sleep after he was out for a 3 or 4 day bender; and the only one who could pet him was my brother. he'd just growl at everyone else. He'd kill birds, mice, moles, rabbits...That bastard lived for like 18 years.

My best friend had a cat like that. I don't think it ever spent a day of its life inside the house and lived to be 22 or 23.

Plus, Roy's an old man with health issues. Crazy/angry neighbors are bad enough to deal with when you're young.

Then you have the other side of the coin: The Farm Cat.

Out of the average litter of 6, we end up with 2 that will survive the first year if it's a tough batch.

They love getting into cars, my son caught one in his Razr 170 (I told him I ran over it to make him feel better), owls, hawks, coyotes, etc.

At one point we needed new blood, so we would take the strays from our nearby town and release them.

Out of 9, ONE survived the first week, and she's been pumping out kittens like a factory for the past year.

My employee came up with a great name for the farm. She called it "Meowschwitz"

He's a dog, and I'm not a rat.

Ah, OK. Well in that case carry on. I just assumed it did not because the vast majority of people let their cats out with no bell.

This happened when I was kid. My dog got loose and chased killed the neighbors cat out by the street. My mom and the neighbor both seen what happened and went out to check on the cat. My mom fel bad about it and offered the guy $50 for what my dog did. The guy went off! started yelling about it being a pure bread and was worth at least $300.
Anyways, they started arguing and yelling at each other about what the cat was worth. Somebody called the police and they soon showed up. After the cop figured out what was going on the SOB wrote both of them a ticket.....................for arguing the price of pussy on a public street.

This guy's 2 cats are always lurking around the outside of both of our property lines, as well as mine. Always watching our dogs as they bark since our dogs have a perimeter fence that keeps them within our boundary.

Last night I let the dogs out, our full pit that is the Alpha Male always runs out to check the property , as to secure it. He has always showed he is the protector and barks and raises hell with people. This neighbor has took to given him dog treats now and is building a little trust with him. But he has raised hell, rightfully so, at times about him.

Anyways, his cat was perched upon our wood pile in the back yard as I shined my big spotlight on him. I'm thinking it won't stay there long and will leave scared. Well, before I could walk farther down the driveway, I looked and he had this cat in his mouth shaking the shit out of him.

By the time I got there, it was dead. The neighbor is a reasonable guy, but he has commented in the past about this same dog. So I'm kinda iffy as to telling him or not!

Pit bulls are such loving, misunderstood creatures.

Well, we have a Pet DeFence, so I showed the deputy and she said if Foghorn Leghorn was in my yard, he was fair game. Sure enough one ventured over and our lab got him. Called the neighbor and told them to come get the damn thing out of my yard. He sent his cousin wife over to get it. They may have had chicken soup that night, but I can't say for sure. They built a coop later, but the coyotes figured out how to get in, so no more damn chickens.

BTW, the deputy bought one for her dogs a week later.

Dude.

We have one that won’t ****ing die. The sister****ing Siamese jackass can’t be bothered to use the litterbox so he shits on the floor.

So we kinda don’t care if it goes away. But it gets along with the good cat, and he doesn’t get all wonky because he’s lonely. But seriously this thing won’t die.

There are a ****load of coyotes around and my **** sister can’t keep cats to save her **** ass, but this thing won’t die. It roams all over **** and the coyotes leave it alone. And it’s not like it’s a clever cat running tactically sound maneuvers. Nope. It’s all open fields around the farm no trees to even run up. And he’s mostly oblivious. I’ll run across him down the road and he is surprised as shit when he sees me. And it’s not like I’m fast or quiet. Literally I’ve seen him jacking around in a field on the way to work, then, closer to the shop I run across a coyote, and he never seems to get ate. I’m convinced he tastes like shit.

My nephew got pissed off at him and threw him out of his pickup. He was gone for awhile and rolled back in all gimpy and hungry. Thought for sure his leg was broke and he was probably septic or would be soon. NOPE. Must have been dislocated or something. ****ers fine now. Shitting all over the floor.

The ****.

You want him?

Pitts are far from the only dogs that will shred a cat. Virtually every hunting dog and most working dogs will crush a cat population.

I think it's more of an owner thing. Most of the pits I have experience with are pretty sweet. Sounds like ROYC is doing nothing to train out that sort of behavior and actually encourages the aggression.

Mother ****er won't be coming inside so I don't give a shit. Bring the crafty veteran down. Maybe he can teach the young dumbasses how to not die horrifically. (Imagine 9 year old boy finding chopped up dead kitten from his Razr.)



Does he still have his balls? We need new blood.
