10 years old, hit by a car. More unfortunately, it was the morning I had to go out of town, so only found out when the neighbour rang the doorbell (luckily? a video doorbell).

Because our cats are indoor/outdoor. There’s a big paddock and hill with bush behind our property, but no, he had to go nosying out the other side. Our other cat is happy enough staying with the dog (stealing her bed) outside. He didn’t normally wander much, but the warmer weather must have made him restless.

They JUST lost their cat. Don’t be a dick.

They just irresponsibly led to the death of their cat then went on the internet looking for sympathy. Miss me with that.

I’m not the dick here, I’m just not in a room of people who care to do anything but give false sympathy and look the other way.

You are the dick, rubbing their cat’s death in their face to get your little moral superiority high. As if you actually care. Disgusting behavior.

Yes, my moral superiority of keeping my animals alive and advocating for it loudly.

Remember everyone, spay and neuter your pet and be responsible and leash your dog and keep your cat indoors or leashed.

I’ll keep being this dick, but my animals will stay alive and some folks will realize that deaths like this are avoidable.

I am the dick, but my cat is safe and sound

Is your opinion to keep a cat locked into a house?

Can I do the same to you?

Otherwise I would irresponsibly let you die, right?

Tighten the logic of this argument up before you let it loose in the wild again, it makes no sense.

Maybe you should have kept your disrespectful comment to yourself. This is what you get for being an asshole.

This is what you get

Fuck, you got me!
