Are there any left overs in the Freezer?

Nope, I ate them all! I was 15 minutes from home tonight and my wife calls me and says "Come get this damn dog and take him back NOW!!!". I was like "What did he do now?". She says "he ripped the back of the couch, chewed the leg of one of the dining room chairs, and destroyed your flip flops". He is now officially gone. My Brother-In-Law took him back tonight, and he will never be in this house again. It has been such a freaking nightmare with him! He has pissed CONSTANTLY in this house. He would hold it all day until we got home with no problems. We'd get home, take him out, and 10 minutes later he'd piss (while walking) all over the fucking house.

So let's recap the damage...

1. Ripped carpet. Whole living room carpet needs to be replaced = ? dollars.

2. Chewed wooden chest= $200

3. Chewed couch= $600

4. Chewed dining room chair= $100-$150

5. 12 week obedient class (he went to one class)= $125

6. Vet bill for having him fixed and getting shots= $225

7. Bill to have carpet cleaned after CONSTANT urination= ???

8. Bill for toys, food, bed, treats= $200

9. My favorite Corona flip flops= PRICELESS!!!

Add all this up, and that was one expensive assed dog! He had a sweet personality, but that fucker HAD TO GO!!! :wink:

That is why I have cats.

[WalkInMyShoes]

When I was a kid, we had to get rid of a cat that took flying leaps at the drapes and just shredded them as her claws sliced them up when she started to drop. Also knocked over the Christmas tree by climbing it. Would attack your leg by lunging at you from under a chair and make holes in your pantyhose. Would come running through the house and actually jump at your head when you were sitting at the table. Bad seed is all I can say for both of these creatures. Good riddance!!!

When I was 7 I had a cat that ran across a feild and tore my arm to shreds so badly I had to be rushed to the hospital for multiple stitches. I still love cats.............and dogs and other animals. I am just teasing GI. I realize there are some cats and dogs that are outdoor pets and cannot adjust to indoor life. Dogs for the most part need a great deal of attention. I have 3 cats and they keep each other company without needing someone home so much. I had dogs when I had the time and the patience to care for them.

Cats are WORTHLESS, and I have never had any use for them.

Nothing wrong with cats jimbo

[G.I.Jim]

Oh... here we go with the "Cat's are great" Routine! All I hear is Blah...Blah... Blah. throw something to a cat and see what happens. Have someone break into your house and see what happens. No offense to those who have (or like) cats, but I haven't liked them since I was a child. I hope you enjoy yours though. Say, you don't live close to a Chinese restaurant do you?

I haven't had any animals since i lost my dogs seven years ago. But if i were to get another animal it would probably be a cat. When i was younger we had our two dogs and three cats. Two of the cats and the dogs are gone. The cat that is still alive is almost twenty years old

WHERE ARE CATS EATEN?

Jean Bungartz referred to cat-eating in China and other parts of Asia in his 1896 book "Die Hauskatze, ihre Rassen und Varietäten" (Housecats, Their Races and Varieties) in " Illustriertes Katzenbuch" (An Illustrated Book of Cats). He wrote that Chinese Hanging-Ear cat (Chinese Lop-eared Cats) were bred for meat and considered delicacies with noodles or rice. Bungartz wrote the Europeans were often revolted at the creatures the Chinese ate. The cats were kept locked in small bamboo cages and fattened like geese on plentiful portions of food (the image below shows these cats in their cages). These were traded with other parts of Asia, but the canny Chinese would not allow tomcats to be exported in order to prevent interference in this lucrative form of income. The cats were longhaired and usually cream in colour and were larger than housecats. One exported to Hamburg by a sailor was described as languid and only the sight of milk or food animated it.

Cat and/or dog eating has been documented, filmed etc in Korea and in China. Documentary evidence shows that in parts of China, cats do form part of the diet and may even be farmed as dual flesh/fur livestock. China has suffered periodic famines for centuries. This has led to them eating a far wider range of meat and vegetables than most Western cultures. Cantonese cuisine uses a particularly wide range of "exotic" ingredients. It is often said that the Chinese will eat anything with four legs except a table and anything with wings except an aeroplane. In practice, the commonly eaten meats are pork, beef, chicken, rabbit and duck.

In Canton, southern China, there exists a dish called "The Dragon and the Tiger''. It is made with snake and cat meat stir-fried together and is an exotic delicacy. "Snake Soup", "Dragon Fights with Tiger Soup" (longhudou) or "Dragon-Tiger-Phoenix Soup" contains cobra, serpentine, old cat, and young chicken. The snake stands for the dragon, cat stands for tiger and chicken stands for phoenix. "'Tiger Fights Dragon'" is described as consisting of a roast snake entwined around a roast cat.

There are persistent rumours that the rise in demand for cat (a delicacy), and the apparent willingness of some Chinese to pay extravagant prices for cat dishes, has led to pet cats in Beijing being stolen to Cantonese-style restaurants. In January 2000, the New York Times reported allegations that the popularity of Cantonese-style restaurants in Beijing has led to cat-thefts to meet the rising demand. Lu Di, a Beijing woman, professor of classical literature and long-time animal welfare campaigner (a rarity in China) apparently stated that between September and the date of the report, up to 500 Beijing families had their pet cats stolen. This estimate was extrapolated from complaints received by her Association for the Protection of Small Animals.

Lu Di apparently described a case in which six cats in one north-western section of Beijing were stolen in one day. The distraught owners found the animals caged at nearby restaurants. The police apparently refused to help them, because there are no specific laws relating to pet-theft. The owners called the Association for the Protection of Small Animals, but when they returned to the restaurants the cages were empty and the owners were distraught. Certainly knowledge of the manner in which cats and other small animals are dispatched would create great distress in an owner whose cat had been stolen for the restaurant trade.


While dog meat ("fragrant meat") is popular and dogs are farmed in some parts of China for both meat and fur, cat is less popular and many Chinese avoid it because of a superstition that the animal will return at night to exact revenge, however it is popular in southern Guangdong, especially in a stew of cat and snake with spices. Cats are also farmed for meat and fur and animal rights groups have fought to halt mass shipments of cats into Guangdong from the north; the animals are squashed into wire cages which are tossed around, breaking limbs that poke through the mesh. Guangdong is the only province known for eating cats. An estimate by the Yangcheng Evening News suggests that a cat stall in the game-meat market can easily sell 300-400 kilograms of cat meat daily in winter. There are about 80 stalls selling cats in the three [game meat] markets. This adds up to 10,000 cats a day. The report claimed that almost all the cats sold to restaurants were domestic cats, many of which had been stolen or caught on the streets rather than purposely bred. The cats are crowded into cages and are often injured.

Freshness of ingredients is paramount and many ingredients still come from traditional markets. The animal is killed at point of sale (strangulation is one method) or, a concept abhorrent to most Westerners, bought live and trussed and killed by the buyer. Sometimes it is skinned alive with casual cruelty for the sake of freshness. Because it is hard to skin something moving without getting clawed or bitten, the animal is stunned, trussed or paralysed by neck-breaking. Killing methods in these markets may be rough and ready - bludgeoning, boiling (stunned or conscious) or stabbing.

In 2010 China appeared ready to end a centuries-old custom and remove cat and dog from the menu. According to state media, a draft law is expected to go to the National People's Congress (Chinese parliament) in April. This would be China's first law against animal abuse. Anyone caught eating cat or dog meat would face a fine of as much as 5,000 yuan (£450) and up to 15 days in jail. Organisations involved in selling cats or dogs for consumption, or their meat, could be fined between 10,000 and 500,000 yuan.

Koreans claim that cat and dog eating is an old tradition in their country though animal welfare bodies dispute this saying that pet flesh consumption came about in the 1980's and that pet flesh is a delicacy for the rich rather than being a food of necessity for the poor. Archaeological findings confirm dog-eating in Confuscian times but in the long cultural tradition of Korea, the recorded instances of eating cat or dog are almost non-existent. Korea has been occupied for prolonged periods by both Chinese and Japanese conquerors. Japanese influences eschew cat and dog eating and influence educated Koreans. Cat and dog eating thrives among working class and rural people, where the Chinese influence remains strong.

It has been reported by military personnel once stationed in Singapore (post World War II) that they had eaten cat while there. Keema Roti is a dish comprising minced lamb, mutton or beef. However, the Keema Roti at that time was reputed to contain cat and other types of meat not normally eaten. The cats lived in monsoon drains and were considered easily available at that time. While modern Singaporeans might dispute this (based on modern sensibilities), atypical food sources have been used in many countries at various times in the past. Modern Singaporean food regulations and Muslim culture restricts the type of meat used in Keema Roti and cat is not an acceptable meat among Muslim Indian and Muslim Malays. In my visit to Singapore I was advised that cat has sometimes been eaten by ethnic Chinese, a practice dying out among younger generations. The country is now very westernized and Singapore Centre for Animal Welfare emphasise that in modern Singapore, slaughter of dogs and cats for food is not permitted. Under the Singapore Wholesome Meat and Fish Act, meat can only be imported from approved sources using internationally acceptable humane methods. There is currently no accepted humane method of slaughtering dogs and cats for human consumption and such consumption is considered socially unacceptable in modern-day Singapore. There have been tales of "Thai" workers (generally of Chinese/Vietnamese origin) killing and eating dogs and sometimes cats and one case (reported by SPCA Singapore) where construction workers were jailed as a result of killing a dog.

Some Vietnamese formerly ate cat, but only through starvation. Ironically, this resulted in a rodent problem. In fact cats and dogs will have been eaten in almost any siege once other food sources had been exhausted. Cat-eating is now illegal in Vietnam because cats are essential to control rice-eating rodents, though there are accounts of raids on cat-meat restaurants. Cat-eating is considered a vice. This is comparable to the wartime eating of cat in Britain (along with other taboo meats such as whale and horse) where cats were sometimes consumed in the guise of "roof-rabbit". Similarly, it is said that cats and dogs vanished from the streets of Japan after the second world war.

In Madagascar, cats apparently make a tasty and welcome addition to an otherwise boring bowl of rice. Western travellers are advised to beware of any dish purporting to contain rabbit. Cat and rabbit are distinguishable only by the different shape of their ribs.

Cats are reputedly eaten by gypsies in various parts of India, but are not openly eaten anywhere in India. It is also reported that cats are eaten by some members of lower castes as well as by gypsy tribes such as narikorvas (a South Indian gypsy tribe) throughout India and by some people from Kerala. Cat is not openly eaten in Sri Lanka thought there are tales of butchers and restaurants in Sri Lanka illegally selling cat disguised as some other kinds of meat; however similar tales are found in Britain!/P>

Cat eating is not widespread in the Philippines and there is no commercial trade in cats, although there may be some personal consumption. Rumours of cats being delivered to Chinese restaurants apparently caused a boycott of the restaurant.

In Australia, where the feral cats have become a severe problem, Aboriginal tribes now hunt and eat the feral cats. They may have little choice because the cats have nearly wiped out their normal prey.

Every September, the Festival Gastronomico del Gato (cat eating) takes place in the town of La Quebrada, Peru, to celebrate the day of Santa Ifigenia. The cats are bred especially for the festival, nicknamed "Massacre of the Moggies", and diners believe the cat cuisine, including friend legs and tails, can cure bronchial disease or be an aphrodisiac. I have also heard of cat consumption in Mexico but this may be a racist slur. One person wrote that her house was burgled by a man of Mexican appearance. She challenged him and as he fled, he grabbed her young cat, broke its neck and pocketed its body. She had heard reports of cat being eaten at the time. She had heard many jokes about cat tacos and dismissed it as Texan bigotry. She later was told that poverty among Mexican illegal immigrants had led some to snatch cats and dogs to supplement their diet. If true, this seems to be a case of pet-flesh consumption by people to impoverished to afford more "acceptable" forms of meat rather than a Mexican tradition. There are many racial slurs about domestic pets vanishing in "ethnic areas".

In Western culture, forensic psychiatry considers killing dogs and cats (other than humanely, due to accidents or incurable illness, or by animal controllers tackling overpopulation) to be an indicative step towards a career as a serial killer. In the USA, a man who ate cats ended up in a psychiatric hospital despite protestations that eating an animal traditionally regarded as a pet did not mean he was mentally sick. In many countries throughout the world (including Britain), animals traditionally classed as pets were eaten at times of severe food shortage e.g. war-time.

In the United States, thousands of cats are bred deliberately and end up in animal shelters where many of them are euthanized (or worse, handed over to laboratories). So long as the conditions are not stressful and the method of dispatch is humane, there is little difference in breeding cats for food and breeding them as (ultimately unwanted) pets - at the end of the day, the cat is just as dead. Readers should bear in mind that the issue is not the consumption of animals considered pets in the Western world, but the humane treatment of those destined for consumption and a legal/ethical source (i.e. not stolen or relinquished pets).

[The Sushi Hunter]

OK guess I have to be more explicit and spell it completely out. No one I know and no neighborhood I've lived in eats cats....to my knowledge.

The cats and dogs probably died off in Japan after the war because they starved to death since the country was so devistated by the war. Out of most all religions in the world, the Japanese are about the only people who believe cat's have an "afterlife" so to speek equivilant to what humans have. There's even a cat Buddhist temple in Tokyo called the Gotokuji Temple. The Japanese call the cat "Maneki Neko".

I had two cats in the past who have died of old age and each time, I had them cremated and then I brought their ashes to Japan and spread them there.
