Default Stupid pet owner trick

Bring her out to the middle of the ocean and make her swim 'til she's
exhausted then do it again?
:-D

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?

Drop woman and her longboard out in the middle of the GreatWhites lurking at
Great Barrier Reef near OZ.......and find a new, peaceful foreverhome for
her stressed-out cat!
Kowabunga!

Absolutely! I mean, it's one thing if you have one of those unique cats who
loves water, but from all the signs (flat ears and whatnot), sounds like
this kitty was going through sheer *hell*.

LOL, I know the feeling....you should see my Greebo when we eat ice cream or
yogurt (I always thought he'd make a great spokespurrson)!

Although as someone on another group just pointed out, it's hard to get cats
to do much of anything they don't want to do. And I know it's almost
impossible to get a cat near a *sink* of water when they don't want to be,
so I would imagine if that kitty didn't really want to be there, (s)he would
be desperately trying to get away, even if that meant frantically falling
off the board. It's just so hard to know unless you know the person and the
cat....I keep realizing lately that, in my protective mode, I do tend to get
a bit judgemental. Ah, well, we live and we learn (hopefully).... :}

The cat must enjoy it or at least not mind it. It took me a week of
struggle to cut a mat out of Maya's fur. No way I could keep her on a
surfboard. I don't think it is cruel. I do however think it is
damned stupid and irresponsible. Surfing is fairly dangerous for a
person. It would be a lot more dangerous for a small animal.


Now, *that*, I don't think there's any question of. Very good point, well
made.


I don't think that surf board wax would be real good for a cats fur or
the cat. My other question is how did it happen the first time?
That first time you would not know the cat was going to enjoy it.


Good question....
