Chris, I'm sure your neighbors on Paddington Ct. will be as interested in this public confession as will the Columbus police department.

Which would you like us to start contacting first? :|

Wow, apparently there is an Mod that has no sense of humor and likes to act like a total A-hole. I think this is the type of person everyone at work hates...

I thought that was a harsh way to deal with a joke myself.

it was a joke?

Not really to sure, thats the way I read it at first. Honestly, how can you tell on text like that? Even if it wasn't a joke, who cares? This is an online forum where people should be free to speak their mind, to a limited extent. Some power-trip mod things he can just ban people at the drop of a hat cause he disagrees with their opinion? Pfft, great place we have here. That Mod's a real piece of crap, IMO.

Hopefully the cat be gone

PS
Changed water pump in car, had to drain coolant.
Should I PM the mods for a ban, or would you like to clean up your post?

And why would he get banned for that? Unless you fell asleep and didn't read the whole thread, the general consesus is if the cat is on your own property, it is fair game.

because someone else said the same thing in this thread and he got banned.

I saw that he got threatened of the cops and his neighbors being called (LOL) but no bans. Again, if the cat is on my porch, its fair game. I hate it when the bastards get on my car.

the most extreme of both outdoors and indoors, presented as fact, doesnt this show how those numbers in general are out of whack?

It states that those are averages, not extremes. Just because you don't like what the studies say or their results don't match to what you expect doesn't mean you get to dismiss them out of hand

those are the extreme from the averages we have been seeing in other articles

and do you know where those numbers come from?
"In 1992, the Humane Society of the United States estimated the average life expectancy of free roaming pets to be between 3 and 5 years, while indoor cats can commonly reach ages of 17 years or more. "

an estimate, from 1992, and only one estimate, which is then presented as a fact for everything, this is what you might call bad science

I f*cking care thats who and a whole bunch of other people as well. my small town has a huge problem with ferrell cats (wild cats). those pest have turned our garden into a fricken litter box and you damn near need a hazmat suit to get near it. last month i was in the back yard getting stuff out of my shed and went inside for about 30 min for something and when i came out one got in my shed and sprayed all inside my shed. do you know how bad that cat spray stinks? its been a month and the stink is still in there.

so tell me why should i have to deal with this? Tell me why i have to have my property damaged due to stray cats? oh and the county wont do anything about it. they wont even take cats that have been trapped. how do i know? because my neighbors trapped a couple and the county told them no, dont bring them here we have no room. So tell me what is a home owner to do about a pest problem like stray cats when no agency will take them? ill tell you what we do, we follow the suggestion of the county and take care of the problem ourselves. and that is what we do.

"In general, cats live longer than most dogs. An average life span might be 12 to 14 years, with some cats reaching 20 and more. A cat's longevity depends on whether or not it lives indoors or is allowed outdoors (outdoor cats live an average of eight years), genetics, feeding, enviroment, veterinary care and some other factors. The general consensus is that at about age seven a cat can be considered "middle-aged", and at age 10 and beyond - old."

and
http://www.messybeast.com/longevity.htm
"In countries with good veterinary care, the average life-span of a neutered domestic cat (barring accidents) is considered to be 14 years old although there are signs that this may be increasing. More and more cats are reaching their late teens or early twenties. Life-span is determined by several factors: good genetics, good general care, good health care, good diet and a relatively safe environment. In the wild, cats fall victim to accidents, illnesses, food shortages and predators and may live 6-8 years."

I also question...what good is a pet that is running around outside all the time? I see a squirrel running around outside. Should I call him my pet? I probably see him more than some cat owners see their cats that are outside all the time.

Agreed, I have been looking for the original research and have been unable to find any. Very frustrating.

I think the one thing the are agreeing on is that letting your cat outdoors has a negative effect on it's lifespan. Pretty much all of them say that it cuts their life expectancy by at least half.

You've also got other reasons besides the animal's health for doing so, such as courtesy to your neighbors.

I could say the same thing about dogs in my neighborhood and in my yard.
If your dog is barking, that's your problem. Dogs bark.

I rarely see any of the cats in the neighborhood doing anything but sitting on their own porch or just siting, lying or rolling around on their driveway. Cats that do roam don't damage anything.
I see more dogs roaming my neighborhood, giant dogs running though my neighborhood. Dogs that sh1t in the yard; shred the newspaper all over the driveway/street; get into and drag the trash all over the driveway/street; take a leak on my wheels, mailbox, and everything else. I'm always having to shew dogs out of my yard, etc. Then there are the stupid owners that walk their dogs and let them cr@p and p1ss in other people's yard, on their mailbox, etc. And stupid owners that let their dogs roam that are large enough to eat some of the many kids that play in the neighborhood. Every now and then I hear of kids being mauled or killed by dogs. When is the last time a cat did this? And I have a scar on my face by being bitten by a dog. I have family members that while walking down the street have been bitten by dogs in the neighborhood. I don't know anyone with scars from cats.

That being said, I've had cats for 30 years and we've learned enough to know that it is not worth letting them outside. I know from experience. There is too much that can happen to them, whether from other cats, dogs, coyotes, etc., cars, ice, getting accidentally locked in a garage or under a house, antifreeze, or being tortured and/or killed by so many evil people. Thankfully they don't have to ever be let outside, unlike a dog. Out current cat has never been outside without one of us, and is 18 1/2 years old. Keep your cats indoors.

Other than scratching the hood (but it doesn't always get scratched when they get on it), I have never seen or heard of a cat doing any of that.
Although I've also seen dogs scratch car paint (incl my ex's dog that scratched her own car's paint to hell), and when they do, it can be much larger scratches.

Sucks to have that kind of dog problem in the neighborhood. I've got one of those dogs big enough to hurt you if he wanted, a great dane. He's always on a leash and if he does do something on a walk instead of the back yard it's picked up. And I've been jumped by pitbulls in an old neighborhood while I was walking my chow. Thankfull they were'nt serious and just tore my jeans to hell before they ran off.

Off leash roaming dogs are a problem. I don't think anyone in this thread has defended them. If you were in the country with no nearby neighbors I could see it, but otherwise. And I've been scratched up pretty bad trying to help some scared cats out of a hole or tree. Thankfully they were just scratches and there was no infection.

Responsible pet owners of all stripes FTW!

Thing is, if I had the money, my car would have an easily more than 10k paintjob on it right now. Thankfully I've got a garage to keep it, and the pet owners in my neighborhood are responsible.

I think what is pulling the average lifespan of outdoors cats down are just the accidents and the spread of diseases. Those who live long live about the same as indoor cats but alot more die because of accidents. Then there is also the issue of the psychological issues which can affect an indoor only cat. Using that very same reason people might as well keep their kids inside.

But I agree with you about the neighbors. If your neighborhood is not cat friendly then it is reckless for the sakeof your cat and disrespectful in regards of your neighbors.

Garages are nice. But before I had a garage, I kept a car cover on my car, which solved the problem.

Amazing, you guys are never around when we talk about general free speech here, when people get banned for real minor infractions, but the moment someone gets in trouble for owning up to killing cats, you guys are all on the free speech bandwagon suddenly.

You may also be a bit limited in your view by where you live. There are actually quite a few things like foxes living where I live that can prey on cats as well. I'm not sure what kind of wildlife is native to Iceland that could prey on a domestic cat.
