spumoni_fettuccini's Journal: Well my day is in the crapper. Just a rant.

At about 12:00 pm pacific my roommates dog [a Husky] got inside and killed one of my cats. What follows is just inane rambling 'cause I am really bummed and can't start swaering and punching things while at work. Husky breeds are notorious for killing small animals and it seems Eve is no exception. Sometimes when the Husky is raised with the cat(s) they won't harm those cats, but will still kill others and that's sometimes. Our two cats were kept indoors and still have their claws [to the dismay of the furniture] and our dog is outside by day and sleeps with us and the cats at night. I don't have all the details, but I hope The Bebes [yep that was her name] got some licks in. I adopted her and bottle fed her [runt of the litter] when she was only a few weeks old, back in April '99. She was the coolest cat I've ever had and I could lug her around like a sack of potatos, carry her over my shoulder, tuck her inside my robe in the morning like a joey while I got my coffee, rub her belly, hold her upside down strech her out on and correct we don't have kids. Ever see that cartoon strip[farside?non sequitur?] the world if there were no kids or pets? There are two couples standing in a park with their bikes, bragging about their bikes. Amazing how attached you can get to a little ball of teeth and claws with a tiny little purr motor inside. In case you are still reading, does anyone know how to train or "fix" her from this behaviour? I still have one cat and I'd like to prevent [yeah I don't blame Eve for her nature, but I can hold a grudge for a while, so she'll get to stay] this from happening again. My current plan is to buy a shock collar and zap her everytime she tries to get in the house and everytime she scratches the sliding glass door [and just those times] trying to get to the other cat. She doesn't do that when the slider is open [screen closed] she just lays there acting calm, even if the cats were two inches away on the other side. The only other solution is my Grandfathers; he raised chickens and when one of his dogs would kill one, he would tie it around the dogs neck for a week and that would be the last time the dog would have anything to do with chickens. Hmmmm... not in this case i don't think. So the shock collar seems the only alternative.

Funeral services will be held at 7:00 PM PST in my front yard next to the rose bushes, after I've had a few shots of a single malt in memorium. Sorry... I'm usually not so hippy, but I miss my cat.

Thanks for the support. I owned a Husky for a while and studied up on them, that's when I found out they were/are kitty killers. So I really don't blame the dog and the roommate really helps with the house payment and she's cool:) Serious can 'o' whoop ass comin' down on that dog though if she even looks at the back door. Zzzztt.
