Now that we have this thread in the Pit, can the other one get reopened and put back in Cafe Society, or wherever the hell it was?

I wanna see if anyone else wants to 'fess up to an unregretted act of cruelty.

I once beat my penis until it threw up. I’m not really all that ashamed.

Wow…that’s just. Wow. **lissener** , you are one sick fucking bastard. Talk about sociopathic.

To be fair, he WAS suffering from extreme depression at the time. However, as far as the cleaning crew went, he didn’t tell them what he wanted to keep, and was mad when they threw everything away. Which, while shitty, wasn’t their fault if it was as bad as he said it was.  
(And the whole “it was just a cat!” crap doesn’t wash. He seems to be proud to have let the cat suffer)

I felt it was getting a little too “uppity”. If you know what I mean.😉

Meh. **Lissener** is a huge fucktard and one of my least favorite posters, but this thread and the others smack of RO. He threw the cat outside rather than having it put to death. It’s a dick move, but the way people are getting worked up about it kind of freaks me out.

Yeah, poor cat didn’t deserve that, the frying pan was probably the only clean place to piss in that apartment.

Is this why you never leave the house? Because every time you see a stray or feral animal you go into melodramatic fits of high dudgeon?

No, because I always end up meeting shitheads like you.

If it was a life-time indoor cat then it would probably last outdoors in winter about as long as the average inner city second grader would in the Sahara. The hardware can technically handle it, but the OS doesn’t have the right plugins.

Ssssssssssssslice…

Although, if that were true, it wouldn’t explain your internet compulsion. Unless Pittsburgh is teeming with even more /b/tards than I could have ever imagined. Which, I guess, _is_ a possibility.

I have two cats, and had three as recently as a few months ago, but he died of old age and is currently buried outside my front door, and I see the marker every time I leave my home. I’ve also owned dozens more over the years, and plan to get a cat’s paw tattoo in the near future.

In short, I love cats, but I’d’ve done the same.

What the fuck is your problem? If you have something to say about me, start another thread. Jesus, call me when you get something new.

Well, there’s winter then there’s winter. Are we talking Oregon snow, or Duluth Minnesota snow? In a city or out in the country? The cat obvously loved killing things, so being “sentenced to a slow, horrible agonizing ouchy death” might actually have been a blessed release into kitty wonderland.

There are at least six options for people who prize possessions over pets:\*

1. Don’t get a pet.
2. Get a pet, then find another home for it.
3. Get a pet, then have it humanely euthanized.
4. Get a pet, abandon it to a slow and painful death, and shut up about it.
5. Get a pet, abandon it to a slow and painful death, bring it up repeatedly, encounter a backlash, and say, “I guess I had that coming.”
6. Get a pet, abandon it to a slow and painful death, bring it up repeatedly, encounter a backlash, then play the martyr.

Apparently there are some who think No. 6 is a reasonable option. I disagree.

- or pick pecks of pickled peppers.

ETA: And that’s the last I plan to say on the matter, except that **lissener** is obviously quite unhappy about something, and I hope next year is a happier one for him.

Puhleeze.

It’s way beyond a dick move.

And Kimmy, you can join Lissner in the shitcock parade.

Yeah, it was a super dick move. Maybe even a hyper dick move!

Pretty much. What did he expect? A medal? I don’t think so. Most of the pets I’ve had were someone else’s cast offs. They do just fine here and most lived to an abnormally advanced age too. Here’s hoping the cat found a better home.
