I went through this privately already. I would rather the humans
drowned than the animals, which I consider a higher life form, and
from what I can see on TV, they indeed are a higher life form.

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.

I will under no circumstances, abandon my animals. They come with me,
or we stay here together. That's just me. Everybody has to decide
for themselves what is important. They are as much a part of my
family as any of the humans, and maybe the better part.

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.

I am right there with you on this point. If some stranger
came to the house and said "got to leave but you can't bring your
cats", I would say "Nope, if I go, they go". If anything else
was said, I would reply with "well, tell you what. I will leave
my cats if you will leave your kids".
That usual shuts folks up.
I bet the folks that are REALLY ****ed are the ones that
had to leave their animals, and, NOW are seeing folks being allowed
to TAKE their critters.

In any case, it was a badly handled situation all around,
and, many thoughtless and inhumane actions were taken. We Americans
should, rightly, be embarressed, and the folks in NO and LA
that behaved in such a mindless fashion should be truly ashamed.

Gunner,

I think the following quote from Mahatma Ghandi sums it up pretty well.

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the
way its animals are treated."

There may not be quite as many lost as you fear: many of those who heeded
the evacuation order took theirs with them and quite a number of others have
been rescued.

The Houston SPCA is housing a large number of those rescued as are other

She related more than one horror story..the dog found burned to death
in its masters bed after a wild fire. It apparently went to the one
place it felt secure in.

Ive personally seen the bitch and her litter of pups burned to death
while she was left chained..her teeth gone from trying to bite the
chain in half as the flames got closer and closer...the pups huddled
under her charred body..black briquettes

Ill not go any farther.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

That works for kittens and cats too fat to twist around. You
try picking up most other cats that way, especially one really
furious or scared, you'll draw back a hand bleeding from a dozen
places. Possibily with a cat still attached and biting.

"Possibly"???? HAH! Try "WAY more than likely", and it's unlikely to be
"just" biting, but steadily chewing its way up your arm!

I for one would rather reach into a running blender set on "liquify" and
grab the blades than try to deal with a cat that doesn't want to go
somewhere. I'd likely come out of it with less damage!

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.

They cannot twist around when held that way.
In addition, it usually turns on their "mommy has me"
reflex that was imprinted on them as very small kittens.
Or it might be instinct.

sheesh

Pick them up by the scruff of their necks.


Be sure to get there hips with the other hand or they can still twist
around and rip you a big one.

And when you get free of them, don't just drop them.
Throw them so that you have a fighting chance while they figure out
that they are free if they will just go away. ;-)
