so my cat... had it since high school, so... the cat was about 15. lived with my folks.... and was staying with another family member for a while now.

i got a call, the cat wasn't eating... so i decided to go down yesterday and take him to the vet. get him examined, just in case... but i figured it was worse than that... so the backup plan was to put him to sleep so he wouldn't have to die a fucked up death.

i called on the way down and set up an appointment.. i drove all the way down to raleigh, picked up the cat. the vet was 10 minutes away... so i just laid him kinda beside me and petted him on the way to the vet. got to the vet and the cat wouldnt get up. so i went in and got the chick and she came out and said he was dead. and ran into the vet with him. how's that for timing.

they made 70 bucks off it too.

that hits way too close to home

11/22/2008 4:01:35 PM

70 bucks. Jerks.

11/22/2008 4:02:13 PM

He was waiting for you.

11/22/2008 4:02:14 PM

RIP cat

That's fucked up that they made 70 off of that though.

11/22/2008 4:02:29 PM

sucks

11/22/2008 4:04:03 PM

oh i'm not complaining about the 70. i could have taken his body with me and paid nothing... 70 was for the cat funeral. just seemed weird was all

yes i cried like a little bitch

11/22/2008 4:04:58 PM

the $70 was probably for the disposal of the animal.

11/22/2008 4:05:07 PM

11/22/2008 4:05:37 PM

my cat just cost me 461 bucks and she is still no better off - currently force feeding to keep her around/hopefully see recovery, but expect to have to put her down regardless.

11/22/2008 4:06:44 PM

god damn that is some fucked up shit

11/22/2008 4:06:49 PM

they actually charged 110 at first, then the girl came back and said she didnt realize he was DOA so she needed my card back to credit me 40 bucks. i wasnt gonna say anything, they could have gotten it

11/22/2008 4:07:12 PM

gddamn

11/22/2008 4:07:45 PM

vets prey on our love for our animals

11/22/2008 4:07:56 PM

this happened with my dog except we never even made it to the vet. we were trying to walk her before ptuting her in the car to take her and she died in the grass

11/22/2008 4:12:13 PM

^holy hell, gddamn

11/22/2008 4:13:22 PM

jesus you people are makin me cry

11/22/2008 4:14:48 PM

this is like the saddest thread on tdub ever

11/22/2008 4:15:37 PM

you know, after i took it all in, it really wasn't that sad. i started thinking... i mean the cat died right there while i was petting him and i didn't even notice, so he definitely wasn't screaming in pain or anything. i almost think it was better that way

but no matter what, the timing was just fucked up. i must have been a real dick in a past life

11/22/2008 4:17:32 PM

i wonder if it only lasted as long as it did so it could see you one more time

11/22/2008 4:18:57 PM

probably so. he's got a brother the same age. and they laid there and touched heads for a minute before i took the one with me. ive dealt with a lot of crazy shit but that really got to me

11/22/2008 4:22:18 PM

11/22/2008 4:38:28 PM

that's so sad but it sounds like he went peacefully

11/22/2008 4:40:37 PM

yeah i'm okay with it. it was just a crazy story so i thought i'd share.

Sounds like the cat was happy when he died

not all that sad, as an outside observer

11/22/2008 7:22:21 PM

11/22/2008 7:22:58 PM

I am terrified that something like this will happen to my cat while I'm gone.

Sorry, jackleg. That's just a terrible thing to witness.

11/22/2008 7:25:12 PM

once again, TWW shows that the only thing that can make it have a soul is a dead pet.

sorry for your loss, leg.

11/22/2008 7:25:53 PM

sorry jackleg

Is this the same cat on the surf board with the river over flowing?

11/22/2008 7:49:56 PM

how did they make the $70, was it a disposal fee???or is that what they charge to tell you that your cat was dead?

SPEAKING OF FUCKED UP SHIT

http://news.aol.com/article/teen-commits-suicide-live-on-web/256594

MIAMI (Nov. 22) -The family of a college student who killed himself live on the Internet say they're horrified his life ended before a virtual audience, and infuriated that viewers of the live webcam or operators of the Web site that hosted it didn't act sooner to save him.
Only after police arrived to find Abraham Biggs dead in his father's bed did the Web feed stop Wednesday — 12 hours after the 19-year-old Broward College student first declared on a Web site that he hated himself and planned to die.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoever allows shit like this to happen shouldn't be able to sleep at night

11/22/2008 8:05:31 PM

whatever, i should have the right to kill myself if i want

^^ guy killed himself in his father's bed and the people watching on the internet are responsible?

I'm sure the parents that WEREN'T watching share some of the blame

sad business, all around

11/22/2008 8:26:23 PM

I didn't say the people watching were responsible, or even the people egging him on...
All i'm saying is the people egging him on on the internet shouldn't be able to sleep at night

11/23/2008 12:36:05 PM

i always think people that stuff their animals after they die are weird

but

i love my cat. sometimes i think i might like to taxiderm her and place her on the hearth

(but she is only 2 so i have time to decide)
