Cat Drowned In Pool

Well cat protector. Clearly you do not understand what you read. The response
of mine you quoted was in response to why I was letting the cat out which I
think I explained quite clearly. Did I need That **** from a stray cat? No. I
did not even ask for the cat. It would seem though that in your eyes I am a
monster and should have turned the cat away. But I did not. I went the distance
in her best interest and because I love cats.Now go back and read what I said
over and over untill you understand it. Read between the lines till you
comprehend it.

Maybe this will help

When the cat came in my yard it was clear that she needed a home and I could
see that she was pregnant. I made up my mind that I would do whatever it takes
to make sure there was not a homeless litter of kittens born in the wild. But I
simply could not control her desire to go out. I did the best I could. Turns
out she was carrying only one kitten which I kept and she loves it here.

Instead of making multiple posts I will say "Thank You Matt"!!! At least
someones here does not think I am a Monster. It would also seem that other
posters, Sherry and arjun , who is probably more familiar with the group does
not think to highly of you.

Whats your name anyway? It seems your posts simply end with some product or
service that you are pushing. Is that the reason you post so much - to
advertise. Im not biting

So, what did the vet say about her condition, what tests did he run,
what medication was prescribed?

In case you missed it, the cat died.

Alright, so some feel the need to keep harping on the fact that a cat
died. Yes, it is sad. It is also sad when a cat gets hit by a car
but I don't see you guys going on and on about what that cat was
thinking when it was laying on the side of the road dying. These
threads always seem to go on to oblivion and some posters more than
others. This thread has lost its usefulness on me and probably other
people, too so it's time for it to be plonked. I see some posters who
will be, too. Life is too short to keep reading the same **** from
the same people over and over again. In fact, whenever I see "died"
or "dead" or anything like it in the subject, I am exercising my
choice to ignore it. You guys go ahead and exercise your choice to
play high and mighty. It's getting old. Fast.

I think we can let the matter rest at that.


Agreed. I have already apologized once for my comments, and I would like to
apologize again. Had I not said what I did to begin with, all this
name-calling and such would probably not gone on as it has.

I really do believe that Tom is the only person who can judge himself in
this matter. If he feels he did the best he could, and is doing the best he
can, then so be it. I would like to think that we all have the best
intentions in mind for our pets. There may be differences amongst us in
regards to what that "best" is, but we can't all be exactly alike or think
exactly the same way. What a boring world this would be if that were the
case!

I think with this person you may be wasting their breath. The OP seems to
not want to learn from this tragedy. You have a valid point with the solid
object. Most will not work and an animal struggling is most likely to not
even reach the object unless it is front of them. The OP seems to think it
is too much trouble to prevent another tragedy. This person is only doing
what is convenient for him by doing absolutely nothing. I have to wonder how
many more lives he is willing to risk before the lesson is learned? I would
think one time would be enough for most people. It certainly would be for
me.

Then what did the vet say?
That is not at all normal for a cat of that age.


Most of the suggestions for objects in the pool won't work.
A cat is in a panic under those circumstances. It would have
to be a very large, stable, object, which you are unlikely
to provide, as you referred to some suggestion as "not too much
trouble, not in the way too much". When/if it happened, the
cat would have to "happen" onto the object.

The pool should be fenced. For animals, for children.
People who don't do so find themselves buried in lawsuits
when the unimagined happens -- a drown kid. A fenced yard
can definitely be deemed insufficient.


Cats aren't known for their aquatic abilities.
More likely to drown, than "swim". That's pretty basic.
If I had a cat, and a pool, and saw it drinking from the pool,
I would immediately worry about what would happen should the
cat fall in.


When you say things like "that's too much trouble" and
"oh, well, the other cat will just have to take its chances"
you shouldn't be so surprised when people lean on you a bit.
They can easily picture the panic that cat felt in the situation
that led to it's death.

Then there's the callin people "morons", as well as the other
pointless 4 letter words. Doesn't matter what the situation is, a
normal well-balanced adult doesn't do that. You didn't use
reasonable sense in advance of the incident, and you aren't willing
to do anything about the situation, preferring to just let another
animal drown if it happens. Rather than take responsibility you've
gone out on a very juvenile limb trying to justify your position,
and childishly struck out at others.

OrangeFluffy, what difference does it make? The cat is dead. Unless you want to
continue crucifying the OP, it's totally irrelevent.
