Ill take your babies Morbid. I love the kittehs. will them to me.

Aww I will have to give it a lot of thought

[Fleta]

Wow, harsh. The vet I worked at refused to euthanize healthy pets. We did re-homing for a fee.

[morbidT]

I've wondered about vets and healthy pets. I have been meaning to look into it so I can have a contract with the vet in writing, instead of it just being written in my will. I also thought of kill shelters. They kill healthy animals every day. I can't bear to re-home them. I'm not kidding when I say they get sick. Pneumo would probably die with in weeks. Jorja might last a little longer. I don't want them to suffer like that. I understand that others don't understand it. I can't stand the thought that someone is not treating them well. I would haunt them. I'm a fruitcake for my kids.

Do you know anyone who would take care of them well and if they appear to be failing they would put them down? I mean, it just seems a little harsh to have them put down without giving them a chance.

My best friend said she would take them, then she had a kid. I think she would still take them though. The reason I came to this decision is because they both have become ill when I have had my hospital stays, and I am in the hospital several times a year. I took a vacation once too. That, to me, is giving them a chance. I just can't leave them. I'm sure it sounds irrational. I'm not totally insane, I swear. I could definitely live (beyond the grave) knowing that if I gave them to someone, they would put them down if illness set in. If they didn't I'm pretty sure I would haunt the fuck out of them. These muh chitlins and I'm insane when it comes to them.

Chances are I will out live them though so I won't have to worry about it

Did you say they were with your crazy mother, though, when you left them? Or was it someone else? Basically what you're saying is I love them so much I'm going to kill them because they can't live without me. When people do that with their kids we call them crazy assholes.

Yeah, I get that. Yes, we are currently with my nutjob mother, which stresses them out too. They have stayed with my parents, my aunt, and my best friend while I have been in the hospital. I've also paid to have a cat sitter. They shit every where I'm willing to give them to my best friend. We actually had everything worked out until she had a kid, then she kinda made it seem like she didn't want to go through with it. She may still though. I am totally okay with her taking care of them, if she will do it. And, she can't die before me Otherwise, I will have to place an ad for someone who is totally nutty like me when it comes to the babies

While I dont think you should have the cats put down, I AM going to go ahead and say That I know what you mean about them getting so stressed out that they make themselves sick. I used to have this dog that I rescued. When I first got her she was in terrible shape, I didnt think she would make it. She had really bad problems with her kidneys and someone had tried to crop her tail themselves and she had a giant nasty infected wound on her tail. She was skinny, malnurished, sick and just plain fucked in the head from what she had been through. I nursed that dog into excellent health, But she couldnt stand it if I wasnt around. She would get nervous loose stools and shit EVERYWHERE. I came home one day and it was something out of a horror movie. She would also get sick and throw up whenever I would leave. I tried kenneling her, But she would destroy evey kennel I put her in, and fuck herself up in the process. One time she broke out and cut her mouth open chewing the door and then cut her self in a few different places breaking out. There was blood everywhere. It looked like a murder scene. Well When I got pregnant with my daughter, I had to give the dog up. I gave herto my moms boyfriend at the time, becasue he was the only other person she bonded with as well as me. He had to leave for a night to take care of his mother, and while he was gone the she broke the window, Got outside, jumped the fence and got hit by a car and killed. All because she was SO nervous all the time from being abused. So I DO understand what you mean, but surely theres got to be someone who will love them and care for them as well as you do

Oh my gosh! This is so sad. That poor dog. This is what I worry about. I can't stand the thought that they freak out and practically kill themselves. My thought process is that it's not the same as human children. Of course someone will take human children and love them and take care of them. Pets are a different story. I don't want them passed around because they have shit everywhere and tore the curtains and blinds up because they are trying to escape. They can't tell you what is going on in there minds. It scares me that someone will not give them the opportunity to adjust. It could take weeks, months, years? I can't imagine anyone would have the patience cleaning up cat shit and puke all the time. It scares the fuck out of me. I have life insurance through the fire department (I'm not really active because of the medical problems right now, but I did go on a horrible car accident last night. I go when I'm able)and my beneficiary is my best friend. She has a copy of my will and the instructions. She is responsible for my remains and the cats. I am glad that I brought this issue up. It has given me a new perspective. I will discuss this with my best friend (we have been besties for 29 years, we are 35) and see what we can come up with. Thanks to the both of you for sharing your thoughts

[angelaiscaustic]

Yeah, whatever the reasoning is I think it's fucked up. Sorry morbid.

I love you.

[angelaiscaustic]

I love you.

I can't even imagine for a second killing any of my cats because I die. How is it their fault? As far as them getting sick, they'll probably get better at some point and if they don't, THEN they should be put down. I dunno, it's pretty fucking harsh.

eta I just explained it to Don and he said "Nobody can love my child as much as me, so I'm gonna drown it. That's what you're saying." haha

I agree completely. I was just trying to be nice about it. You know, like I always am.

haha I dunno what's up with me lately, I used to be nice. Also Don is quitting smoking and is super moody and just went off about this. Like nuts. I'm like o_O.

ALSO what is so wrong about rehoming? This is so beyond my way of thinking.

[morbidT]

Hey, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion. I didn't say it was rational. I KNOW it is irrational and I even said it. I'm not completely fucking nuts, just with my cats. If you read the entire thread, you would have noticed that I have gained a new perspective from discussing it. I have explained the re homing in several posts too. No one has really been against my wishes. Maybe they are just saying okay to warm me up, I dunno. It really is my decision anyway and it doesn't matter what other people think. If I cared or was afraid of others opinions, I wouldn't have posted it. The realistic view is that I will out live them anyway so it shouldn't be an issue. I have prepared for it just in case. BTW, I appreciate the comments, nice and harsh.

I did read the entire thread, and I saw what you said about rehoming. Just don't give em to your mom. Also, that wasn't harsh by a long shot.

[PunkerDuckie]

I have plans in place for all the animals should something happen to me. The biggest pain in the ass was finding someone willing to take on the horses. They are a 30+ year commitment, and not everyone is happy with the idea of inheriting a 4-legged money eating shit machine. I didn't really have anything in place for them until that one lady at the barn offed herself and left her poor babies in limbo (the barn is still trying to figure out who legally owns them now). I'm even ok with the girls getting sold, if need be, as long as it is to a loving home. Dogs and cats are fairly easy to rehome, comparatively. Well, except my cat because she pees on everything and has to stay outside, else all your furniture will be defiled.

[morbidT]

OK. I thought you might have missed a couple posts because the things you posted about where already mentioned and discussed. I get it though, your two cents. It's appreciated. I'm a very open minded person and welcome others thoughts, opinions, suggestions, blah, blah, blah. I gotta scoot. Niece's bday party today. She's gonna be five Monday and she's a freaking terror. My cats HATE her.

[morbidT]

Oops. I meant to quote angela on that one

[deeply shaded]

I don't know what will happen to Sidney. He's a terror and could well outlive me, depending on how old he is now, which I don't know. I'm pretty sure Denny isn't going to keep him.

One of the vet techs that worked at the office where I take the dogs died suddenly. They had a much easier time placing her 3 dogs than the 5 birds. I think one of the birds is still with one of the vets because they couldn't place him.

I need to check with the rescue I got him from and see what his plans are for the rescue when he can no longer run it. If it's still going to be in operation maybe Sid could go back there.

Morbid, I really wasnt trying to be a cunt. Seriously, god forbid anything happens to you, I'll take your furbabies. Dead serious. We're cat people, hardcore.

I SERIOUSLY did NOT think you were being a cunt at all. I apologize if I made you feel that way. Webz/language/interpretation/perception, it can be a big tangled mess. After I go back and read my post, I realize I was trying to quote you, but I wasn't necessarily speaking directly to you. It was a generalized statement for everyone who comes into the thread and is like, ohmyfuckinggodthisbitchisfuckinginsaneoliviafindhe rispaddresssowecanstalkherandkillherandsavethecats ! I'm pretty laid back and it takes a lot to get my feathers ruffled. But. Don't. Mess. With. Muh. Babies. I guess I could leave it in my will that you and jessie can have it out for my precious furbabies. How do I know you aren't SunsetMonkeyFortuneLover?
