Casper has been sitting on that fence by the edge of the woods for the last six months now. Interfering busybody wasting my time and, more critically, the RSPCA's. Fuckwit. Been a supervisor and manager in 2 different re homing and rescue centres, in the second one i was at, we had a running joke/situation of this woman who would come in at least twice a week to hand in another "stray" cat. In all my time there, i don't think a single one of them was a stray, they were all her neighbours and folks nearby. In fact, she brought the same poor fucking cat back to us 3 times in 2 weeks and even had the cheek to ask us "are you sure he isn't stray?" "Yes, i'm certain....that's why you've managed to get him here 3 times, we're not just immediately sticking him in a van and dropping him back off in your garden when you hand him in you know..... we speak to the owners and they pick him up, they live 2 houses down from you and are worried why he keeps randomly going missing" "So he goes missing?" "Only when he's been kidnapped and wrongly handed in here " "Well....better to be safe than sorry i guess" "No... no..... please just leave him alone from now on, he's a cat, doing cat things, it's normal.... honest" I think the weekly struggle to not yell "STOP BRINGING US YOUR NEIGHBOURS CATS YOU FUCKING LUNATIC" wore me out. paulplom, Stanky, mercedade and 21 others 8 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cord Fourteener Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Our lovely 1 ½ year old cat who loved the kids, was as soft as a ball of cotton wool, who we had for two months (and had visited every night) collapsed and died just before Christmas. We miss her. This is just six months after our previous cuddly predator for got hit by a car and died. adw1977, purplebargeken, Mrcento and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of thing was just one of the many annoyances that made me despair of the people on the community Facebook page for the town where my former library was... "Is this anyone's cat? [Insert photo of obviously well-fed and healthy moggy] It's been at my house for two days now". Of course it has, BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN FUCKING FEEDING IT. STOP FEEDING THE CAT AND IT WILL GO HOME. This happened all. the. time. It was suggested as a good way of keeping up with what was going on on our patch. I sacked it off after about two weeks.

loserone Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nowt wrong with Crook, there's some fairly canny houses for not a lot, a busy town centre on a night, and a choice of budget German supermarkets. Blue stone café is lovely (the proprietors live on our street) and there's plenty of decent folk in the area. DVee8 and paulplom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 So sorry I troubled two hotel chains with the audacity to try and book a function room, it's clearly far too much fucking bother for them. Also maybe 14 weeks before getting back to us is probably not quite the sort of customer service we'd hope for. mrbenn and mitsisigma01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
