My cat caught a mouse and then brought it into my room But the thing is the mouse is alive with no visible puncture wounds It is also now running free around my room and I don't know what to do oh no I mean do I let nature run its course and allow my cat to kill the poor defenseless mouse Or do I succumb to those all too human instincts to protect all things small & cute and trap the mouse myself so that it may live for however many more days it manages to squeeze out of its miserable disease-ridden pantry-infesting existence Or is it crueler to deny my cat her one true purpose on this earth as a satanic killing machine oh my god what do I do please inform
welp I now have the mouse in a box and I'm beginning to realize I did not really think this through like at all also I can't tell if the mouse is playing dead or has actually died from exhaustion so this is just really depressing now, but oh **** every once in awhile it jerks its head and scares the **** out of me so I'm thinking of just drawing a pentagram on the floor around my cat setting the box on its side walking out of the room closing the door behind me and praying the rosary until the Lord forgives me for letting my cat strongarm me into satanic rituals on Easter ****ing Sunday
Well I'd give my advice but you're not going to like it. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler First, take off your socks Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler
Every time my cats have brought in a live animal and I've tried to rescue them they've died within hours of internal bleeding. So, what you should do is
Fill the box with cotton wool and put it in a high place to see if the mouse comes right, if it looks like it's in pain after a while you might have to mercy kill it. If it turns out to be ok, release it outside. (when the cat isn't watching) That's what I'd do anyway.
Your cat doesn't want to eat it, it just wants to play with it. To make it SUFFER. To be God like how you play God to the cat. Yeah.
Yeah I would just leave it go. If it hasn't already died of internal bleeding, it probably isn't going to at this stage. This one time, my cat dragged a bat into the back yard (which is basically just a mouse with wings). For some reason, it didn't seem to be able to get out of the back yard (high walls + blindness = sad bat) so it just lay there in the corner and hissed any time we came near it. I was all like "we should release it back into the wild" but my dad was like "no no that would be cruel because it's probably going to die" but I was like "well it'll die here anyway of starvation or loneliness or something so you might as well let it die someplace where it'll be happy, like in a tree or something". I thought my option was less cruel but he wouldn't listen and I didn't want to touch the bat. So the bat died.
Painted toenails are super. When I watched the Big Lebowski, I had this big phase of painting my toenails green. Most people didn't get it.
I lived in hope that toaster-chan was a lady with odd man-like feet. So is this, like, normal? Should I paint my toenails? Do I not understand this trend because I am too old? * Chris_D speechless
I appreciate you guys calling out for mercy for the rodent but that ****er was long dead by the time you got in the thread. Soz friends, maybe for my next urgent ethical crisis try living in a real time zone? As for the feet bearing painted toenails, I have to come clean: they're not actually mine but a pair of spare feet that I keep around for photos (see evidence below). I just didn't feel like taking my socksies off and getting my real feetsies cold as per Veggie's suggestion
How can you expect to summon demons with such a poorly crafted pentagram? And ELECTRICAL TAPE? You can't channel evil forces with god damn electrical tape. Or is that masking tape, which is even worse? It has to be created on a bodily fluid, preferably blood, or some sort of finely ground powder, preferably bone meal!
In order to take that picture, uou either have a laptop or massively long forearms. I'm going with the latter.
Yeah I know but whenever we used to use bone meal or blood Maire would step in it with her little kitty paws and then track little bloody kitty pawprints all over the house & of course despite being the totally innocent party merely following orders, I would get the blame for it. Anyway (don't tell her I said this but) my cat isn't very good at witchcraft anyway, I mean she has this speech impediment that means she can't really pronounce the latin words very well (or any human language, for that matter) and most of the time we just end up awkwardly sitting around a pile of smouldering herbs and dripping wax candles and severed rodent heads until Maire gets up and starts meowing to be let out to use her kitty box Also you guys might remember something that I posted back in Ye Olden Foryme: And I just wanted to add to this to say that if you ever have a thought like 'gee it'd be cool to have a satan cat' you must do what you can to suppress these wicked urges lest you spend every Christian holiday with your God-forsaken (literally) cat coming into your room going 'meow meow meow' real chipper-like, real suspicious-like, in just such a way that you know she's saying 'Hey toaster-chan, did you hear the bad news? Christ is risen! But the good news is that I have the blood of an innocent all lined up in preparation, and I pinky promise it's not yours this time so long as you agree to draw the electrical tape pentagram again' Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler i can't tell you how many times i fell for that line before i realised cats don't even have pinkies It's okay, in today's tacitly misogynist culture even feminists like myself internalize woman-hating & male-centric standards of what is good in a human so really I just took it as a compliment when you said my feetsies were manly, it's like if you had said I had an intellect on par with a man's or something * toaster-chan types out a forum emote so as to indicate that she is winking and giving a 'thumbs up' so that Chris_D is not so alone in using these absurd new forum commands
When my cat brings us mice as gifts, we give him the gift of shouting loudly and ejecting him at speed from the front door. (Then we don't have to share the mouse with him).
Broken forum commands at that... You're not Raziaar... Shit. * Chris_D fixes God knows who's name that will be. Hopefully not mine, I don't like fixing things. EDIT: Aww swell. Looks like it's you fixing my shoddy coding toaster-chan. Let me know how you get on.
Oh man, I thought this was some strange backhanded insult directed at me for being misogynistic. That's why I work at the Girl Scouts, to exercise it!
