Have your pets ever attempted murder?

Last night my kitty stood on my windpipe, and not for the first time either.

What does a cat knows about strangulation, hehe, was probably doing it completely accidentally. But more interestingly have your pets ever tried to kill themselves? I've heard of dogs that go out and jump in front of car.

 

[Loaf of bread]

Yeah, the cat probably wasn't intending to strangle you.

Knowing how passive-aggressive cats are though, anything is possible.

I suggest watching Jackson Galaxy's videos about cats on youtube, they are really great and every cat owner should watch them.

My dog would ignore cars 99% of time but she also had days when she just suddenly decided to play the hero and attack the car while barking as if it was a dragon. I like how dog can have different days, but of course I wish she was more careful.

And the same thing on yard. If she was on yard without leash while someone drove home, she'd walk towards the car, but sometimes she would stay far away and just watch and wait. And some days she would listen to you when you told her to stay and not run under a car and some days her ears were for decoration.

Truly, she was the cutest little doggo! I wish I could have shown her to all of you on this forum. I just wish she had been mine alone so I could have trained her better. It's really hard to train a dog when everyone else in the family does everything wrong. Like if you train her not to bark but then the others just encourage her to bark. Or if you teach her not to beg for food while you are eating and then everyone else just feeds her cake straight from the table.

It's funny how in animals their "imperfections" make them better and funnier while in humans it's often just frustrating.

I am picturing the cat from the poster and book cover of PET SEMETARY. Haha. Good luck sleeping from now on.

Well apart from insects hitting the front of my car I haven't seen any animal suicide. Oh wait, I think there is a spider that dies after giving birth and the offsprings eat the mother, Geographic channel I think.

Not my cat, but I can imagine that must have been terrifying. Cats can appear to be harmless but I do believe that they have the potential to cause some harm.

Haha yeah, she absolutely didn't mean it, she just wanted to get closer to my face for the snuggles

The Black Widow I think. Jesus. Talk about childhood trauma. Do the spider-babies ever seek counseling later? Or do they just seek advice on the web?

Well, I'm assuming you're here because you want to die? So is it murder OR is it actually euthanasia?......

Well, euthanasia = "good death"...

 

[CTBgenuine]

Well, euthanasia = "good death"...

Well, euthanasia = "good death"...

What constitutes a good death?... Death is the same for every creature on earth, regardless of how it is achieved or whether it is legal.

 

[Loaf of bread]

The concept of "good" is highly relative, there's no fully universal "good" for anything.

Thread getting a bit off topic now. Not about cat homicide anymore.

Maybe you were just CATatonic.

That's a good answer, loved it!
