Woman Let's Go Of Cat To Survive

A woman in this story due to the floodwaters caused by Hurricane Ivan
actually let her cat's cage (yes with the cat inside) go so she could
survive. This is horrible. It just goes to show you that some people care
more about themselves in a crisis situation. Her response about the whole
situation of letting her cat go was the following:

""All of these material things I'm thinking about floating down the river
don't mean a hill of beans," she said. "I do miss my kitty, though."

I find it disgusting that there are plenty of people like this who take such
a passive view. I can only picture with sadness as this cat is meowing and
meowing as he/she floats (or probably went under the water causing the cat
to drown) down the floodwaters while the human waves goodbye. My only hope
is that this woman does not get another cat.

Would it have been better if both she and the cat drown?

She didn't need to let the cat go especially with the poor feline inside the
cage. I would have done everything possible to make sure the cat was also
saved. This woman also took a rather passive view at the whole thing as if
to treat this cat as an object. That cat was a life and she let that cat
drown so she could save herself. I have to wonder if she would have done
this to another human.

Dont judge the woman by the one single quote the reporter chose to use. She may
be totally devasted by the loss of her cat for all you know.

You Guys!!!! This is CP? Are you bored or something? Accept and move on.

Sigh. Sorry Karen.
I just can't stand it when somebody sits all high and mighty and says "OH, I
wouldn't do that." When none of us knows *what* we would do. CP is making it
sound like the woman made a calculated decision like "Gee, I can't hang onto
this carrier and save myself, too. I think I'll sacrifice the cat to save my
ass. Bye, Kitty." When everything probably happened so fast, and the woman may
have *tried* and lacked the physical strength to hang on to it.

I really doubt the woman was as blase about it as the reporter makes it sound.
Reporters have a way of "reporting" a story to the angle they choose, and
taking a quote completely out of context.
I also bet a weird self-preservation mode kicks in when we're in a panic
situation. Some people would lose their lives trying to save their cats; I
think everybody would for their kids. But they don't "think" and "decide". It
just kicks in.

Nah. Sometimes shooting fish in a barrell is relaxing. :-)
