A Very Strange Story

[Garza]

We have about 10 stray cats that we feed and they hang around outside. One mother cat had a batch of kittens about a month and a half ago.

Well anyway, it is common for kittens to get eye infections. usually they will get mucus (snot) build up in their eye and in some cases there eye will close up with a layer of tissue or whatever, by that time they have basically lost their eye, as far as I know.

Almost all of the kittens have infected eyes right now, I think it will go away but one kitten had a severe case. The mucus started building in his eye and dried up, causing his eye ball to protrude about an inch out of its socket. The entire eye was covered in dried mucus so that you could not see it.

Today, one of the other cats came by and unknowingly loosened the eye some more. I finally decided to just take it completely out. So I just took a piece of bread that I was feeding the cats and smacked it in the face. The eye ball came off and now the cat feels alot better, is a lot more energetic and happy.

Sorry this is long, but its a rather horrible and strange story.

Give them to Captain Insano, he can take care of that eye problem for them and I'm sure he'd be glad to help.

oh my god
AHAH

that's not funny!!
what the fuck, that's all i have to say

 

[YellowD]

So the eyeball came out along with the mucus or just the mucus?

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

i gather that the eyeball popped out

so did it roll around or did it just squish where it landed ?

 

[YellowD]

I guess thats why we have two eyes... in case Garza smacks us around and knocks one out.

 

[Garza]

The eyeball came out with the mucus. The eye ball was not visible but the mucus was in a round ball just a bit larger than the eye which leads me to believe that the eye was covered in the mucus. There is no eye left in the socket so ya know. When it hit the ground it did not splatter it just layed there. It was basically like a piece of meat. And I did not smack the cat around, it was in alot of discomfort with its eye protruding from its head, the eye was dangling so I just smacked it off of him. He feels alot better now. I think he will survive. He was never in pain, but very uncomfortable with all the fleas swarming around his eye. I was not sure it was his eye until after it came off. But it had to come off.....the end!

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

gawd
u scare me, man

 

[Garza]

Yeah for rill. Its just as nasty as it sounds!

 

[BigEasy]

Too bad they don't have vets and antibiotics in Fl. Here on the island I would get thrown in the slammer for creulty to animals for that.

bE

 

[Garza]

Are you implying that I was being cruel to the animal? In what way? The eye had to come off and he did not show one sign of pain...never has. Just alot of discomfort from the bugs and what not. I would never be cruel to an animal for no reason.

 

[BigEasy]

I implied nothing. Here if one does not seek medical care of a pet in your charge they put you in jail and fine you. But we have plenty of Veterinary surgeries too.

[YellowD]

It wasn't his cat

 

[RADAR]

Sorry Man-If we ever meet i'll keep my distance don't need to loose a friggin eye!!! RADAR

 

[bignate73]

Use it as a variant of allspice.

 

[strengthmonster]

I find when I have a problem with stray cats outside my house that filling my super soaker with neat bleach and firing it at them usually gets rid of them -j/k animal lovers.

Not sure about the US but in the UK you cannot get in trouble for harming a cat, despite what people may think. Cats are actually classed as vermin the same as rats unlike dogs etc. which are classed as pets. If you hit a dog by accident in your car and fail to stop you can be prosecuted, if you hit a cat you cannot.

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

BAMP!!

 

[CesarSJU]

ok...the eye ball came out due to an eye infection....hmmmmmmmm..........

 

[danielson]

soooo....whats to stop the eye-less socket getting infected. is it like fused shuut now with mucus or something. without an eyeball, i dont think the immune system can get to the blood vessels round rthe eyes or someting. wont it die? i hope it dont.

and how likely are u to take uninsured cats to a vet whos more likely than not gonna heap the largest bill he can on yo ass. the cat aint in pain, period.

 

[Dread Lord Good Guy]

is this a fucking joke?
u have gone to far, you have pushed the line past what Dread Lord conciders decent....

FUCKING SICKO ALERT

 

[champion]

whoa

 

[Garza]

Danielson is right, these are not our cats. I really don't know what the hell is going on with them. Another cat has lost his eye as well. It is still in the socket but it is protruding out a few inches. Also another cat developed a respiratory problem. He is having trouble breathing. I don't know what the hell is going on, I believe we might have to just have them all exterminated.

 

[Stillhere]

Ever consider going to Vet school?

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

*cough*

 

[moe dank]

call me harsh but kill the damn things and put them out of their misery. Sometimes you just have to let go.lol

 

[The Dude]

All of them sick like they have colds? Could be Feline Leukemia. In which case, the best thing you can do is to kill them all. Every additional cat that you start feeding there will become infected. This is a nasty disease and all outdoor cats need to be vaccinated for it. Strays like you have should be euthanized (hell, just shoot them) to keep it under control. I'd hate to be your neighbor and own a cat, even an indoor one, vaccinated or not.

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

damn! come on dude. don't give him ideas like that
take them to the vet, he is probably right about the feline leukemia

get them put down

 

[supersizeme]

this is a truly disturbing thread. i love cats, hate to see em suffer. find them some home so they can be taken care of.

 

[Garza]

I believe it is gettign worse. The cat with the lost eye seems to be okay, but almost all the other cats have conjunctivitis, I believe that is what it is called, where the eye closes up. Now, the one that seemed to have breathign problems is losing weight and has both eyes shut. I tried to open them and pus came out but I could not open them.

 

[danielson]

im guessing u guys have like a protection society for animals like (over here) the RSPCA -royal society for the protection of cruelty to animals....nooo, wait that doesnt sound right....

anyhows, just take em there and leave em with them. blind cats aint gonna survive and they might infect other cats. on the other hanfd what they have might be cured really cheaply. just bung em in a bag, and give em to the society

 

[the nature boy]

I thnk this is one of the strangest theads I've ever read.

 

[Lumberg]

So what's the update on the cats?

 

[Hamsterhider2]

HA the original goodtimes

 

[Lumberg]

Where is Garza?
