Would it be bad karma...

[grateful1]

Ah.... This threads no fun at all now.

You could have held out till someone sent the cops to your place couldn't you've?

Ask Rod about that one! :laugh:

This will be my last post on the topic since clearly we don't see eye to eye on the subject.

Do you really want to join the ranks of David Berkowitz, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Albert Disalvo, Edward Emil Kemper lll? Aside from this, what you're suggesting, if even in jest (which it doesn't seem to be), is illegal in every state. And you've posted it on the internet.

You asked if it would be bad karma - according to Buddhist values, yes. The pain that you would cause not only to the cat, but your own family, is some serious BAD KARMA. Just give the cat away but don't torture the thing. It isn't the civil thing to do, no matter how much you hate it.

Dude. You're hilarious. I guess this place isn't for everyone.


Anyways, back on topic. Stu, in my opinion, your vet is full of sh&*. I've always heard/read that when a cat pisses on another animal/human or something that smells like an animal/human, it typically means one of the following:

- If it's a random occurrence, then it's probably due to a urinary tract infection, or some new stress in it's life such as medication, surgery, or a new pet/family member. Whenever our cats pee in an odd place, we always get them checked for a UTI. That's usually the problem.

- If it's a common occurrence, it could be because there aren't enough litter boxes or the boxes aren't being changed regularly enough. Also, cats usually pee where they have peed in the past, so once they start urinating on the sheets, in the corner, on a chair etc... they'll typically keep peeing there out of instinct. The rule of thumb for litter boxes is about a 2:3 ratio. So, 3 litter boxes for every 2 cats. It's better to have too many than too little. That said, with you having as many cats as you do, I'm probably preaching to the choir here.

- Finally, again, if it's regular and always in association with a certain pet or person, it could be an act of dominance. Supposedly, cats bury their pee/feces in the wild as an act of submission. The most dominant cat will usually just leave theirs out in the open as a way of marking their territory. Same goes for peeing on people or other pets. The cat instinctively thinks that you're it's bitch and it's showing you in the only way it knows how. This is my guess regarding what's going on here. In this way, other members might have a point about returning the favor. You can also try pissing in the litter box the cat uses (just don't let the wife catch you).

The reason I say your vet is full of it is that I've never heard of any animal peeing or defecating on anything as a sign of "affection." It's almost always territorial or a sign of some kind of issue (medical or stress related). This goes for cats, dogs, or just about any other animal.

Maybe the cat wants to mate with Stu?

Hmmmm........Don't subordinate female cats learn to copy the actions of the Alpha female cat (your wife in this instance)?

Just saying is all...........

This is the post where the truth came out, for later historians.

Quick and painless? Quick and painless would unduly depreciate the seriousness of the crimes that this f#@&ing cat has committed. When of if I dispatch the f#@&ing cat, I would be more inclined to make it excruciating and slow. Dismemberment. Scalping. Disembowelment. Electrocution. Impalement. Chemical burns. No manner of death or dying is too sick or too deplorable for this f#@&ing cat criminal. Besides, one shot to the head may not extinguish all nine lives...

I'm not too well versed on the whole Karma thing, but what would happen if this PunkLawyer guy gives the cat away to someone, through no fault of their own, is in need of cash so they sell PunkLawyer's cat to a lab that tests mascara on the poor thing? And what if this cat is freakishly immune to irritation so that based on the benign test results the mascara goes to market and my wife ends up buying it and one day the mascara runs and irritates her eyes and she loses control of the busload of kids she's transporting and 85 kids and my wife perish in a bus accident? Instead of the world being short one cat because PunkLawyer killed it, he did the "right" thing and gave it away and now I have to explain to my two children that Mommy isn't coming home anymore and we have 85 funerals to go to next week? I wouldn't want that on my conscience. Tough call.

Gotta love those PETA people who don't have the decency to consider your wife and the 85 kids entrusted to her...

AMEN

Universally, all but a few realized Punk_Lawyer's post was in jest. Something never meant to be taken literally. There are a lot of things to be found on the internet, from Brazilian Donkey Porn (Elittle for further info). So for someone to call what was posted here offensive is quite the stretch. As for me, I have a dark sense of humor, so perhaps I can see the humor in it. Comparing a contributing member here to Dahmer might not be helpful.

Mr. Cizlak,
While I agree with you to a certain extent I feel that you have not thought the situation through to its conclusion. First, your wife (if she exists) must be smuggling illegals if she is cramming 85 children on to one bus. Second and most importantly, what if one of those little bastar... um... children would grow to be their generations version of Art Modell or Yoko Ono?

While I would feel a loss for your alleged wife and the 84 other children, I feel that we have to look for the greater good.

Sincerely, and dripping with sarcasm,
Brandon

So what have we all learned:

Stu's bed likely stinks to high heaven.

Stu doesn't clean the crap box often enough (yes it's his job, see below)

Clint reproduced (allegedly)

Stu's wife wears the pants.

Its OK to kill a cat if you eat it.

Its not OK to kill a cat slowly.

It is OK to kill it quickly if you are going to kill it.

Feral cats eat birds (probably why they taste like chicken).

Stu's problems could easily be solved by moving to a neighborhood with coyotes.

And finally, the un-refuted allegation that the cat was not the first one to piss on Stu.

 

[Smokin'Sims]

I knew a guy who would annualy grill a cat for his birthday. For the price of a flight down to Peru I could find him for you. Bet you could get him to kill, clean and grill it for your dinner. What some call animal cruelty, I call supper.

 

[gtadroptop]

The OP asked if it would be bad karma to kill a cat on Christmas Eve. Although the question has been debated for several days, it is now a moot point. It is no longer Christmas Eve.

Stu, kill the cat.

 

[punk_lawyer]

Yeah, who am I kidding. I love being compared to serial killers. I love that almost as much as getting a golden shower from the females in my life. Speaking of that, I love being told my facetious posts are in 'bad taste'. I love that about as much as the vet who told me the f#@&ing cat urinates on me out of love and respect. :laugh:

Nah, I have not killed our f#@&ing cat. I am too busy having fun in the Florida Keys. Ahh, yes...paradise on earth. Smoking lots of cigars. Drinking lots of bourbons...and beers...and scotches. Fishing on a daily basis! Think about it fellas: Me + wood chipper + Ernest Hemingway's famous six toed f#@&ing cats = a great time to be had!

Stu,

Why didn't you elaborate on the type of bait you are using?
