Splash, the sea bitty...
wrote in message
ups.com... 2 friends of mine, Gus and Ryan, own and run a charter boat company in Cardiff. (If any of you have seen Torchwood, they work from the Quay that is just behind the Torchwood entrance). They had a massive black and white Maine coon cat called Sinbad, that Gus found as a kitten that had been dumped in the dock. Sinbad was known to everyone and used to go out on the boats every day with Gus. He also used to bring back the stray cats in the marina so that Gus could give them a square meal. Unfortunately, Sinbad went to RB at the ripe age of 19 in April 2007. The boat has apparently been very quiet. On Saturday morning, they were coming into the marina when Gus saw a man throw a wriggling plastic bag off the pier. The bag was meowing. Gus promptly fished the bag out by jumping into the water and handing the bag up to Ryan. Inside were 3 bitties about 5 weeks old who were wet and cold and very distressed. The man disappeared before anyone could do anything. ( Fortunately Gus's wife is a vet tech. She's patched all the bitties up, and it appears that the bitties have survived their ordeal. Ryan is keeping the two tabby girl bitties who have been named Marina and Ariel, and Gus is keeping the black and white bitty who has been named "Splash"..... It seems Sinbad is still keeping an eye out for waifs and strays. ) Hiss-spits on the ******* who dumped them however. Helen M May the scum who did this rot in the deepest, darkest pits of hell for all eternity! And may the wee bitties have wonderful lives in spite of their horrific experience! Hugs, CatNipped |

I agree, may he be served dirty kitty litter for dinner for the coming 50 years. there is simply no excuse for doing that in this day and age @ all. All he had to do was take them to the cat Protection League, who would have gladly taken them off his hands.. (especially if they were telepathic & knew what he had in mind for them!! More the pity that they can't) I know that years ago, well before my generation, that it was quite common for people to drown kittens, & think nothing of if either. but these days, there is no excuse whatsoever. Disgusting as it was, it was done by many an irresponsible cat owner... But to do it now, is totally unforgivable! I hope every cat he passes connects with what he did & chases him with more than hisses and spits too. Thanks for sharing that story though, Purrs of comfort for the Kitty's & thanks to those that saved them. Kama will come to play here with any luck. Sheelagh Wicked, totally wicked! "o" |

It was not well before my generation. I saw my mother doing it, in the same rubber bucket she used for washing out sanitary towels and which we kids took to the beach to make sandcastles with.

This man will never have any luck, he has shot his karma permanently, and you don't want to know what I wish for him. I don't think I even have to wish it. He will get it back. It might take years but it will happen and he will suffer. I like to think of that suffering for such a person who would throw a bag of kittens into the sea. For the moment, while we wait, may he get itchy skin conditions and impotence, and that's just for a start. Tweed |

have any luck, he has shot his karma permanently, and you don't want to know what I wish for him. I don't think I even have to wish it. He will get it back. It might take years but it will happen and he will suffer Tweed. I hope his karma does bite him in the ass. Certainly these bitties have had some sort of Karma come back 100 fold. They've gone from being unwanted dumped-in-the-sea foundlings, to being a pampered prince and princesses. Apparently Gus can't keep Splash out of the bathroom sink or the shower. He's also fallen behind the sofa and got stuck, keeps climbing on top of the fish tank to get at the fishies and eats like a horse. Apparently all he does when he gets in trouble is yell at the top of his lungs for rescue! Just as well he has a vet nurse for a new mommy, really. ;o) Ariel and Marina OTOH, are by all accounts very well behaved little girl-cats and just follow their brother about. Gus is keeping them all together until they're old enough to be split up and go to Ryan. Talking to him last night,. however, my money is on Ryan never getting his cats and them all staying with Gus. Gus bored us stupid last night (and if you believe that.... ;o)) for 2 hours about their escapades in the pub. Can we say "besotted daddy"? ;o) Helen M |
