That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

There's a very wide gulf between "My cat wants me to share food but won't actually eat it if offered," and "...but will also attack my new child on top of that and must be locked in another room to prevent that." That is officially a bad cat and it goes to the shelter. And it doesn't need to be a nice no-kill shelter, either.

Cat came first and thus has seniority so if anything the kid should be sent to the shelter.

lmao goddamn

quote:

As per the Gawker article, Pratt tried to give away Mrs. White, the 15-year-old cat that he and then-wife Anna Faris shared, on Penny Saver and on Twitter. "Anyone in the LA area want a cat?" Pratt wrote in a since-deleted tweet, via People. "Full disclosure, she's old and prone to accidents. So sweet though."

He faced severe backlash from Twitter users and cat lovers alike for trying to give the feline up to any stranger who would take her.

...

His explanation for getting rid of the aging and incontinent cat as per his blog was: "Bottom line, and not that this is any of your f**king business weirdos, but my wife and I want to start a family and we ABSOLUTELY CANNOT have an animal that s**ts all over the house. Sorry. If you are a parent you will understand. And if not, that probably explains why you have such a hard on for cats. Just sayin'."

I have multiple ten to fifteen year old cats and their reactions to my 3 year old niece range from indifference to "oh right you're the one who drops food regularly, I'mma follow you around". If the cat is acting hazardous, it's probably because Pratt is being a dick to it and it's reacting to him.

It's not even that it was acting badly it was literally just old and a bit incontinent. I can't even begin to imagine how soulless you'd have to be to entertain abandoning a cat you've had in your family for its entire existence just because you're not willing to deal with their end of life decline in a respectful way.

There's a difference. The difference is between a hunting dog (or dissocialized large dog) that keeps looking at small humans the way polar bears look at seals, and a grumpy pensioner dog or house cat being a cat.

It appears to me most of us reacting are really arguing how bad people can't be allowed to care for any pet in the first place only not saying the words out loud. It's not really the rejected animal who needs to be someone else's problem, more the rejecting human who needs a therapist to teach them to be kind.
Also that you can't buy love or a pet but you can pay a finders fee for a loveable friend and you need to act like it

Yeah but the responsible way to do that is not offer it to literally any stranger on the Internet for free. That's how you end up getting your cat killed by freaks

If the animal is leaving feces around and can't control it, even if it is very sweet that is a health hazard to a baby.

Didn't get me wrong, Pratt absolutely is a poo poo to animals. He has abandoned dogs when he moved before. Just left them in the street.

That cat was an excellent actor, it had a co-starring role in Stuart Little before Pratt's wife Anna Faris adopted it

They also gave away one of their dogs because their kid was allegedly allergic to it and it was later found malnourished and living on the street, they've got a terrible track record with pets

Cats have a remarkable ability to be endearing even when engaging in acts of calculated bastardry.

The humane choice for an elderly incontinent blind cat who is not meshing well with the family anymore: take it yourself to the vet and have it put to sleep with you giving it snuggles. Don’t loving rehome it at that age, that’s cruel

Well since my post brought out the future cspam permabanned cat hater earlier, I'll say the cat they had was 10 and it wasn't a known reaction to the baby. It took about 3 weeks for them to train the cat to stop doing it and kid is now 5 and drags the cat around everywhere because they're best friends.

Hell we have one of our dogs because the original owner was shocked and appalled that an 8 month old, 70lb dog might knock their toddler over.

When I was born my mom was told very seriously by multiple people that she had to get rid of her cat because it would steal the baby's breath. At least last century they had the good sense to hide lovely anti-cat feelings behind superstition.

You can train them to only steal little a breath.

To our 55lb black lab, our newborn was just something interesting to sniff. When our kid started eating in a high chair, he was the magic good food source, and the 55lbs went to 60lbs.

Now that our kid is 5, he's the one with the energy to sprint across the yard and throw a tennis ball for hours on end, so the lab is 55lbs again
