What kid of moron leaves rat poison out in built-up areas?!?

It's rare for this to happen. The reason rat poison works is that they are unable to vomit. Unfortunately your cat ate a mouse, probably slowly released it into his system :( Eating poison directly would make him throw up pretty quickly and he'd be fine.
 
I never said it was right, I just said that you can't expect anyone to give a crap.

A similar attitude to "if I see someone else's child playing in the road I'm only going to brake because I don't want blood on my car"

I can accept that people have problems with rats, I can accept that they will put poison down, and I can accept that unfortunately accidents will happen occasionally, and that pets can eat the poisoned animals.

I do however have a problem with the blasé attitude towards the death and suffering of people's family members, or worse, the people who intentionally harm them.

I can guarantee that if the post was "my kid just ate rat poison and got sick" there wouldn't be such cold-hearted replies.... no wait... this is the internet.:(

I apologise if my previous post(s) were slightly aggressive, but it makes me really angry when people wish suffering on others.
 
What an absolutely fabulous looking cat you have, Sir. Beautiful.

Thanks. :)

glad your cat is getting better he looks awesome :)

Cheers also. :)
 
The anti-cat comments in these types of thread sure are tiring!

Shame to hear about your cat but glad he's getting better. Certainly a lovely looking cat!
 
Thats because Children>Cats.

This is something that no parent ever seems to understand, but I am going to give it a shot.

You have made a decision to have, feed and clean up after a child which is great for you, but the rest of us have not. We are not overjoyed to see your kid spraying graffiti all over our walls so when we go outside it looks like a ghetto. We are also not so enamoured with the dog faeces in paper bags posted through our letter box nor do we want to spend our sunday mornings listening to your brat screeching.

Some people don't like having to listen to the sound of your baby crying at 3 am so don't be suprised if no-one gives two hoots about your "Slow, kids in road" message because to them they are just as much of a vermin.

Difference is our kids might just grow up to be doctors, scientists, police officers or some other worthwhile profession whereas your cat will still be crapping in gardens.

This post is full of catlike win (Y).

Also, no complaints should be made about regular animals really, they were here before us. Not crapping in our gardens, we're living on their garden ;p

Yes, but equally they may grow up to be murderers and rapists.

Better the devil you know eh?

Anyway, this is going to go round in circles, clearly you don't like cats, which is fair enough, but no matter how much you hate them, wishing harm on a cat that someone loves is out of order.

And for the record I love kids just as much as cats =P

Oh I like cats they are awesome, I'm just saying other people dont like cats crapping in their gardens.
 
We had rats in the garden. Called the council, they came and put rat poison traps down. Standard practice I'm afraid.
 
Good sharp photos, what camera do you have?

I used to have a Canon 20D (which is what I used to take that picture), that is until I sold all my gear due to having no time to use it.

I now have a Canon Powershot Pro 1 bridge camera to tide me over until I have enough time to warrant getting another DSLR.

Cheers for the other comments guys. :)
