That's terrible! Poor kitty! The woman is positively torturing her. I do
hope someone stops the woman from doing that. -- Polonca & Soncek "Bobcat" wrote in message ... We watched last night's TV show "What Were You Thinking". It featured a woman who must rank at the very top of misguided, stupid cat owners. At the beach she takes her cat along with her on her surf board. snip |

Stupid pet owner trick
Drown her. I think it is terrible what she is doing to this cat to get
publicity. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Bobcat" wrote in message ... We watched last night's TV show "What Were You Thinking". It featured a woman who must rank at the very top of misguided, stupid cat owners. At the beach she takes her cat along with her on her surf board. We saw the poor wet miserable bedraggled creature hunched down on the board, ears flattened, hanging on for dear life. But it got worse. Then she tossed her cat overboard and it paddled desperately for shore, but apparently she drags it back and makes it do it again to the point of exhaustion, saying that the cat loves to swim! Any suggestions for what we should do with the woman, after we rescue the cat? |

Any suggestions for what we should do with the woman, after we rescue the cat? HOW APPALLING! Contrary to any excuse that we are being judgemental, this is definitely animal cruelty. You do not do to people or animals what is not akin to thier species. There are exceptions but in general cats do not like being in water and to have a KITTEN plunking down in sea water over and over again is INTOLERABLE. The kitten was not having a bath for instance, or splashing around with water from a tap. This is having the kitten struggle for her life over and over again. This woman should definitely be prosecuted for animal cruelty and then some. She should also be subjected to all the other posts on suggestions of how to "punish" this pathetic woman. |

I agree overall, but then how do we know this cat is not one of the exceptions? Seems unlikely, absolutely, but how do you really know unless you know that animal? |

you know that animal? I would think being a kitten is too young and too short a time to know if the cat's all for it. The cat was probably not given a choice when they trained her to do this sort of thing. When the cat tried to get out of water, they probably interpreted it as "getting out to try again" Anyone with this mentality is sure to have warped interpretations of any animal's behavior. |

Any suggestions for what we should do with the woman, after we rescue the cat? Take her out past the three mile limit, toss HER overboard, and let HER swim for shore? Sure, cats CAN swim, if they have to - I think most mammals can - but why force them to? |
