Strongly concur with both thoughts.

It is back to the responsibility issue again - pets much more reliably
keep their end of the social contract than do some people.

There may not be quite as many lost as you fear: many of those who heeded

The number of these accounts is, I'll agree, far higher than I'd like to
see. [ZERO is my "preferred number"!]

I'd suspect that the number of cases of the type you've related may well be
in the hundreds [I hope not the thousands] as unthinking owners simply
abandoned their cats, dogs, birds, et. al., in their rush to high ground.
Those headed for the Civic Center and Superdome would, quite likely, be
prohibited from taking with them any "non-human family members".

Hopefully, though, the large number of "rescued" critters that have already
been relocated to ASPCA centers will include many of the potential
casualties.

I will under no circumstances, abandon my animals. They come with me,

Thats one very big reason we have a pocket sized pet , a chihuahua we
got for a wedding gift .

The other one , the feral goat , hey , well , its a bloody goat ,
nothing gets them if they got a mind to get away from it . We live on
the side of a hill on the edge of a mountain range ... itll be OK , just
let her go .

The dog fits neatly into the Mrs's handbag or my pocket .

With the amount of travel we do , we dont got high maintinence pets or
ones hard to get into and out of places .

I have to agree. Possibly the most soul-wrenching story that's come out
of this mess, at least for me, was the one where they wouldn't let the
little kid take his dog with him on the bus out of NOLA.

I took one look at my big dumb cat and heaved a sigh. He is the one
thing I could never leave behind.

When I lived in the country, I always had cats and dogs. I
noticed that, while they are interesting and entertaining
creatures, they aren't human beings. I fed them, took care
of them, and occasionally had to shoot one of them. I ended
up thinking of them as friendly, inedible livestock. One of
the few regrets I have about living in town is that keeping
pets is such a difficult process, which I no longer bother
with. (I might get a cat sometime, but I doubt it.) I
don't mind if other people treat them as if they are
slightly less intelligent four-legged humans. I understand
this is a common behavior. But I never did, and never will.

The trouble with trying to save cats is, if they get it into their
walnut sized brains that you're attacking them, or it's time to
panic, or they want to run and you try to stop them, you can come
away with more injuries from the cat than from the disaster.

Sedation or a strong, heavy container may be your only options.

Saw pets with owners rescued from rooftops last week.
Cats and dogs.

A guy accosted by the La. Fush and Game tonight refused to
leave partly because he didn't want to leave his dogs. The
other reason he gave was that his place was as good
as any to wait.

I saw a picture of one dog pacing about on a porch. He had
about 5 inches of rope attached to his collar. Apparently
chewed it through. Seemed to be in good shape but definitely
wants some dry ground.

Probably a 1/2 of NO is about dry. Unless politics purposely
slows the drainage, I expect most areas will be clear in a few
days with the lowest taking a week or so.

Latest estimates is it is going to take 3 months to pump out the flood
waters, and maybe another year and a half for the place to dry out.

40% of the water has already been drained. I'll stand by
3 weeks on the outside.

A few months to dry perhaps for the *lowest* lying areas.

Can we use your head as a depth stick?

I strongly suspect that much of that was pure BS.

I doubt it. An earthquake emits several types of long
wave freqs. Critters common to that region could associate
this with a tsunami.

Oh? LOL .... how far aay was that earthquake?
Do they run for the hills every time a truck goes by too?

The fact is that few animals were caught in the tsunami.

You have no clues.

It's already had a cursory study and the results have
verified the news reports.

Nope. The news reports reported that the speculation
existed.

An in-depth study is in progress.

How long are you planning on working on it?

They in the affected are very fortunate that the weather has been pretty
quiet since the 'cane. Isn't the rainy season closing fast? It's gonna
take longer than a year to dry that mess out. It was never really dry to
begin with. Wetlands are kinda like that.

When handling feral or scared cats a leather jacket and gloves should be
donned first. And move fast so they don't get a chance to think about
it.
