I see my cats as my kids so as a parent I'd risk my life to save them. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

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. This is probably dumb of me from a survival point of view but I wouldn't have let go of the carrier. I would have hated myself for the rest of my life if I let my kitty go. Of course I was a lifegaurd, on the mens water polo team, national swim team. To be fair, I wasn't there so I can't really judge how bad it was BUT she could have at least let the cat out of the carrier. It would have stood a chance that way. They can swim, probably would have grabbed ahold of something. So sad. |

"Cat Protector" wrote in message news:QoN2d.46818$OZ6.8633@okepread06... 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.

You can read the entire story here. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...d=519&ncid=716 I don't think it's fair for you to make judgements on people in crisis situations in which their life was at stake, when you're sitting safely by your computer. And as others have pointed out it would have served no one if all had drowned. Adam |

Are you saying you would have let the cat drown?
