One of the sweetest, yet saddest stories I seen.

[Darth Cruel]

Idunno. The most...understanding cat I've ever met, my aunt's, never follows her anywhere. Half of the time you have no idea where it is or what it's doing. Usually under the bed sleeping for HOURS (like my scorpions under bark..)

And when I try petting him, I walk away with scratches and bites all over my arms.

Scorpions>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cats

you actually are the one with a rare cat,
some cats will act that way, sometimes, it probably means it is very domesticated,

I would ask you 2 things, do you let your cat go outside and walk around the neighborhood?
and also, how old was the cat when you got it?

I would let her go outside, but she hates going out and stays in the house or on the porch at the most. I've had this cat since she was a kitten, but I had another one that my family got from a shelter when she was about 5 years old who had been a stray and she was the sweetest cat I've ever met in my life. Behaved just like the one I have now but a little more laid back.

 

[Voorhees27]

no, but that story I posted earlier did say cat people are more neurotic so

Any thoughts of your own?

that's pretty nice, I love when animals are nice, any animal,
but I've met, actually almost all the cats Ive met are mean,

My cat is like my dog, he follows me everywhere... even outside. Cats are brilliant animals.

Most cats I meant are nice. P-u-ssies and you don't see eye to eye.

I'm sorry, but they act like you are their slave, they scratch, they are not nice at all, at least in my life, I have not met a cat that has been like a dog

I have met a few that are like dogs.

Anyway, do you have a pet, sir?

This made me want to adopt a dog. Im on the Humane Society right now actually

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Nobody wants to know about this dog communicator thing that they said they used??!??

<-- I'm a cat person, BTW, and I have the two most incredible, friendly, sweet, loving, intelligent cats my wife and I have ever known.

First thing I wondered about. But my mother always told me that if I did not have something good to say, keep my mouth shut.

That is why I have not posted how much this video seems more to me like some selfish individual trying to come off as saintly than it does like a heart-felt experience due to the fact that it would have been much kinder to put the dog down immediately at the vet than it was to drag it home, lay it on the floor, and watch it die in misery while you videotape how wonderful you are...and let your other dogs watch.

Yet you just did. Congratulations. They just wanted the dog to experience the warmth of a home. It was suffering either way... but have it loved and experience that before it goes... I don't think that's really a horrible thing. I can see your side, but see there's as well. I am not agreeing with either side, but to play ignorance to either side, is well, some place I choose not to go. *******s are like opinions, everyone has one.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

It didn't seem like the video was made for their own personal gain to me.

That did occur to me aswell.
I have had to have a family dog we had from a pup put down when he was 15 as it was "kinder" and the vet said he was in pain and suffering.
Depends if you believe in dog whisperers and psychics

Personally I saw the video as not "oh look at us arn't we saintly" but just a thought provoking and moving tribute to show that all life is sacred and everyone and everything deserves the right to live with respect.
If the dogs "wishs" where to breathe every breath and die naturally that is it's right.
Not saying I beleive in dog psychics but makes sense to me to want to experience every moment whether good or bad .

I disagree. The suffering could have ended hours before it did. Painlessly, peacefully.

Dragging that dogs misery out so the humans could pat themselves on the back for it is the basest of cruely and it makes me sick to my stomach.

I once had a similar choice to make. And that video just reinforces my belief that I made the right decision. There is no justification for this. There can only be rationalization.

But I have already gone against my own self-imposed ban on overly-negative posts so I am going to step back out of this discussion.

The only reason I stepped in is that there is so much misplaced credit being given to the people who made this video that I want people to think about it in case they ever find themselves in the same situation.

Again, I am not discrediting your feelings. I wished my aunt had passed away months before when she actually went. She suffered so much with her Cancer. It was no life for her. What I learned, is that she wanted to go on, and in the end I couldn't speak for her, or say what she wanted. She wasn't prepared to go, when I wanted to, because I couldn't stand watching her suffer like that. We don't know what these animals want. We assume.... and you know what they say about those who assume.

I see your point of view and logic. I also see theirs... and then there is the dog's.
