Even in a situation like this, I was simply pointing out how some people see
their cats as nothing more than property. She could have taken the cat out of the carrier to give the animal a fighting chance. She didn't and then let the poor float away (a cat carrier filled with water will not float but a cat out of the carrier can swim and certainly weighs less) and drown. Emergency officials also advise that you do not drive your vehicle through a flood. The highest point would be the roof of your house and it would have been safer there than being in that truck. With the pounding of Ivan some stayed behind to weather the storm because they did want to abandon their animals. I respect these people who did that. I also believe that in a crisis situation that you also have a sound evacuation plan and as tough as it may seem, you do not panic. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

People who condemn the actions of those who find themselves in terrifying situations never experienced by their critics quite simply do not know what the hell they are talking about. Reminds me of the stories about Jacqueline Kennedy after her husband was shot. People felt she was disloyal or less than honorable because she fled the car after having her husband's head explode all over her. |

Actually the people like me would have had an emergency evacuation plan and
actually practice it so when the real thing happened I and my felines would be well prepared. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Brandy Alexandre" wrote in message news:1095525941.zvLrQ2Ky5MGoWLTHfLB5XQ@teranews... People like Cat Protector are the types who run while on fire, run outside during an earthquake, watch out the window during a tornado, and so on. Personally, I would have evacuated with my pets long before the storm hit. That would have guaranteed the survival of all concerned. But given the circumstances, there really wasn't a great deal she could do, and given my personal experience with reporters and writers, I take the tone of the text with a grain of salt. -- Brandy Alexandre® http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you? |

It will never happen to me (unless of course I was not home when the
incident occured) because I have an emergency plan if I ever need to evacuate my home including what to pack for the duration of the emergency. My emergency plan also includes the cats. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Mary" wrote in message om... While I would never wish this situation on anyone, I would give everything I have to be a "fly-on-the-wall" with a camcorder if this ever happened to you. |

I am not a troll though, just someone who is completely upset at how some
humans treat cats as objects when given an emergency situation. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Luvskats00" wrote in message ... Sometimes shooting fish in a barrell is relaxing. :-) Not the best choice of a phrase..! |
