Heartless people. Are you one of them?

One of thousands of cat stories I have come across over the years. Unfortunately, many have also been of the sad type.



In this video, a cat is seen lying outside a house and will not leave its place. The owner, who was an old man, had recently died and his children had emptied the house but left the cat. The cat, who is 10 years old and who has probably received many treats from his owner as he looks very well-fed, is waiting sadly for the owner to open the door.

No one knows what happened between the cat and the owner's family. Maybe it was aggressive and did not want to come with them and they simply gave up.

What would you have done as a child if your parents had passed away and they had a beloved cat in their home?

A nice video with subtitles, but very annoying background music. Turn it off for a better experience.

Pretty mean to just leave it there. They couldn've at least taken it to a shelter.

But of course maybe there were circumstances. Maybe the cat was a stray and the old man just left food out for it. I did this with a stray for years and that thing still would never let me touch her. To her I was just the big monster who put food out every day.

Anyone who abandons animals is subhuman to me. They deserve nothing good in life.

I'm not going to watch that.

I already have a video I watch whenever I need to get the cries out.

 

[Ballsaque]

Not watching it, but people that hurt animals should be submerged in acid.

Most of my family is not fond of cats. I fondly remember my father drop kicking a cat down a flight of stairs when I was young. If it was a dog, of course it would be well taken care of.

Sounds like a bummer so not going to watch. Poor kitty.

I work in property management and have rescued dozens and dozens of cats and dogs over the last 25 years. Seen some of the worst shit you could imagine.

Rescued my recently deceased pitbull from a drug crazed chick who stabbed my pits sibling in the eye with a fork and I got a complaint and went in and saw it lying there dead and her sister in a cage covered in her own waste. I gave the crackhead $50 for the dog and left and called the cops.

Another time, dead of winter in heavy snow, in Maryland, I found a cardboard box outside an apartment complex and there were 6 kittens in it. They must've just put them outside because they seemed OK. I took em to the humane society and they were adopted before I even got em in the door.

Lastly, I find dogs tied up to my dumpsters, mostly pits, at least once a month. People can be cruel. Especially in the ghettos. But for all the cruel I find more people willing to take animals and treat them well. I just found a cat a few months ago and decided to keep her. Always been a dog person but this little fucker has turned me into a cat person. Animals are resilient and amazing.

Agreed. Should at least call animal control if it's stray

Ill always go out of my way to save any animal
in distress. Insects included. I perform rescue missions for spider wasps and bumble bees that fall into the pool all summer. Spiders inside are relocated outdoors when the wife shrieks…hell ill
even pick up worms on the driveway after a rain and help them to the grass before the sun bakes them.

Can't turn away from an animal I can help in some way. Just love them too much. They could have at least taken it somewhere. Hell, even releasing(if not declawed like a savage) into some woods is better than in the house. Though yes, who knows exactly what happened, but I doubt they tried since this is common.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

While situations like these are sad, they're pretty touching, as well. A testament to this gift of life, and how special it really is. Even though there are communication barriers between owners and their pets, not everything needs to be spoken to be understood.

 

[Sobek]

Yeah it's a pretty crappy thing to do. I dunno what goes through people's heads. If he loved that cat they should respect that and at least rehome it.

My mother asked (she was very worried) if I would look after her dog when she died. So of course I agreed (despite me and the dog not being overly fond of each other). She was very comforted by that.

He now is sleeping a few feet away from me. He doesn't communicate with me much. He is old and likes to ignore me most of the time...unless it involves food or going somewhere lol. He is like a room mate that I feed.
But it was absolutely the right thing to do and once adapted to, it's not a huge problem.

Pets are worth more than most humans... @Pittie Petey @lsa

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

At the very least call the local SPCA or humane society (whatever they would have in the community).

Literally the only reason to leave the cat would be if they knew it was actually just a stray that would pop in from time to time for a treat. But if it was his actual pet that lived with him that’s pretty fucked to just abandon it like that.

I'm the same except for some reason I'm quite homicidal towards silverfish.

 

[tgv976]

I'd probably call a SPCA and see where to take it. It's messed up if it was cool, and they abandoned it, but some cats attack and do other retarded shit unless you are the owner. My gf's cat is like this. Fine with her but retarded with anyone else including her sisters who are over there a lot.

 

[666]

That cat is fucking pissed. All it wants to do is chill and watch some price is right with his homie.

I can’t believe you guys didn’t invite @fingercuffs to the conversation…

I thought i was the only one who rescued worms lol. I also let wasps build nests all over the porch and they dont sting me as long as i dont spray them. I'll be sitting there drinking coffee, and they'll be fighting each other and crashing into me and i'll have to seperate them sometimes.

Bugs are way smarter than they get credit for.

Family members act like im nuts for talking to them, but i know some of them can differentiate between threatening tones/gestures and nonthreatening ones and thats all that matters.

LOL!

A good guy indeed!

A small question as english is not my first language. Do you mean spiders and wasps separately or is the insect called spiderwasp? Because if you are kind to wasps then you are almost like some in India who sweep the ground in front of them so as not to crush insects as their belief is not to kill living creatures. They are probably vegetarians.

I am in the cold north and at certain times we have problems with a lot of mosquitoes that are incredibly aggressive. Do you let a mosquito that you have discovered on your arm finish feasting and then be allowed to fly away or do you crush it when it has a belly full of blood like I do?
