My cat was killed by my neighbors dog two days ago. I’m hurting so bad I’ve never loved a cat more?

[desperatelyhungry]

Animal control is set to come get the dogs tomorrow. Obviously this ain’t a question. I’m hurting and just wanted to share my sweet cat with you guys. We had just had her a year and the one year memories are popping up, making it even worse. Her name was Maybelline and she has/had such a big piece of my heart. The second pic is of maybelline with my dog. They also loved each other very much and my heart is hurting for my dog.

[AviatorTom]

That is so sad. I know what it's like to lose a loved pet. Your dog will grieve for a while, as will you. You are fortunate in that you have your dog. Spend time together, have fun together. You both will eventually get over the loss of Maybelline.

Some might say get another cat, and that might work. But it will never replace your fond memories of Maybelline.

[Miristheiss]

How is it that your cat was outside and the dogs and your cat were sharing the same space?

Was your cat outside wondering the neighborhood freely?

Were the dogs in their own yard?

Were the dogs in your yard?

Was your cat on their property or were their dogs on your property?

[ZenJen444]

I was curious too. I keep my cat indoors. There are times when I open my door when I get home and she runs out onto the porch. I just put her back inside immediately

[desperatelyhungry]

Those dogs had killed cats before. I never let her go outside. She snuck out through a vent and I didn’t figure it out until it was too late. Stop assuming shit

[ZenJen444]

Wtf are you talking about "stop assuming shit"? You're sounding guilty as hell. We just asked a question. You must be responsible for this happening

[AsaKyo]

Very sorry for your loss

I probably would have gave the neighbors a piece of my mind and told them to take their dog and their shit and get as far away from me as possible

[desperatelyhungry]

I’m waiting for animal control to take the dogs, as they have no idea this even happened. But after, I’ve already thought about what I’m gonna say. And I’m gonna end it with “you better keep any future dogs out of my yard, or next time I’ll handle the dog myself. You make if that what you will”

[SeriouslyFunny00]

She looks so sweet. Sorry for your loss. 🥺 Pets are so vulnerable when left outside.. 🥺

[desperatelyhungry]

[hypojoe]

That shit would not fly with mei had a pit bull try to snag my cat that i had for 16years and that dog did not want nothing to do with the cat in my opinion its an eye for an eye and there would be no need for animal control I would be in jail satisfied

[TheSpaceGnome]

This is why people should keep their cats indoors.

Outdoor cats have very high early mortality rates from being killed by other animals, getting stuck in man made objects and starving, obtaining deadly parasites by eating wildlife, getting poisoned by eating toxic plants or drinking toxic liquids, and being hit by vehicles, among other things.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I never made a single assumption. You just did though.

[AngryCarl]

It's not good for cats to be indoors all day. They like to roam. People need to control their dogs.

[TheSpaceGnome]

You're both wrong.

1. Saying "People" implies that it's a general public message intended to discourage the public from thinking the way angrycarl does about what cats need, your assumption was thinking it was only directed soecifically at you. I used your situation to highlight a more pressing problem, the prevention of further deaths of more cats, as yours had already reached the point where nothing could be done. Typing in rollercoaster and talking like an illiterate person doesn't remove the fact that you assumed I thought you were careless. There is no point to talking about whether or not you were careless, as your cat can't be saved by doing so. Whats done is done.

2. Cats are reckless, they drink antifreeze, eat toxic plants, get parasites by eating wildlife, get hit by cars, fight animals bigger than them and lose, kill so much small wildlife that they decimate ecosystems (highest number of prey species among all cats belongs to the domestic house cat), it is irresponsible to have an outdoor cat, both for the safety of the cat, other peoples pets, and wildlife populations.

[TheSpaceGnome]

specifically*

[TheSpaceGnome]

Most large dog breeds on the other hand, actually physically require time outdoors, no domestic cat breed is big enough or not lazy enough to require that for a healthy long life, indoor cats on average live much longer than outdoor ones, most dogs though live shorter lives if only indoors, unless its a small breed.

[desperatelyhungry]

You said this is the reason people should keep cats inside, and I told you I did, in fact, keep my cat inside. Giving us facts that may or may not be right and that no one asked for from
You, insulting me, and continuing to not be able to admit you assumed shit and I made you look like an ass does not make you a scholar or smarter than anyone else.

[desperatelyhungry]

Furthermore, you’re 35, please get a hobby and try to refrain from picking debates about cats and dogs on the internet.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I only insulted you when you started to be an assuming ass, but I never made any assumptions, however you have made several.

I have many hobbies, much of which have wait times between stages, and one of which I'm keeping an eye on gag's notifications for, as people have been posting relevant tips on it.

You on the otherhand I'm done conversing with.

[Whatthefluff]

Oh I'm so sorry. Rest in peace Maybelline. You were very loved. 💕

[lightbulb27]

looks like a gentle soul, I'm sorry for your loss and the tragedy.

I've lost 2 cats this year. Will be ok.

Curious, what kind of dogs?

[SnowedIn]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Our animals are so special. All the best to you as you make your way through this.

[art84]

My dog was killed by my neighbors dog a few years ago. She had went next door the their yard and got beat up. My neighbor had told me that there was a dog dead in the yard. I was sad as she was a young dog like 5 years old.

[exitseven]

One of my cats was killed by a coyote, I am really sorry this happened to you. There is no upside to this. It just plain sucks.

[User3191989]

Which prove cats and dogs, really will never actually get along

Just like republicucks and democrats

[desperatelyhungry]

So did you miss the picture of my cat and dog right next to each other? They loved each other. They did everything together. My cat would even lick my dog like a cat would their kitten. They were best friends. If my bitch ass neighbors kept their dogs kept up and hadn’t let them get the taste of blood they wouldn’t be killing cats. Not all dogs hate cats and not all cats hate dogs

[User3191989]

You can't say that because yours was ok, that "all dogs" and cats relation is going to be ok

[desperatelyhungry]

No but I can say, some dogs and cats will get along and some dogs and cats will be out for blood for one another. I very clearly say NOT ALL. Worry less about the “republicucks” and more about reading correctly, thanks.

[User3191989]

I can answer how i want

Also, like i said, you can't say just because yours was "ok" doesn't mea all are

[whirled_up_girl]

Beautiful pictures, so sorry for your loss.

[desperatelyhungry]

Thank you. I’m grateful for all the pics and videos I’ve taken

[LavLavLuv]

Sorry for your loss ☹️

[desperatelyhungry]

Thank you. Looking at these pics, I can’t believe she’s gone just like that. I’m still struggling with it not quite feeling real yet

[LavLavLuv]

Sending virtual hugs for u girll🤗🤗🤗❤️

[AngryCarl]

Well like you said this isn't a question. But I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

[slatyb]

Sorry. Keep your next cat indoors.

[desperatelyhungry]

Those dogs had killed cats before. I never let her go outside. She snuck out through a vent and I didn’t figure it out until it was too late. Stop assuming shit.

[slatyb]

Sorry. Many people do allow their cats to roam.

[desperatelyhungry]

Not me even once:

[Andres77]

Sorry for your loss

[Nikki1989]

So sorry for your loss, this is so sad.

[ZenJen444]
