I've already got a cat (who doesn't like the aforementioned stray) so taking it in isn't an option.

I guess I'll be taking it up to the animal shelter tommorow.

if you can handle having a pet in the house, I suggest you take in the cat. However, if you don't have the time, patience, money, or room to take care of the cat, bring it to a shelter. IF you leave it outside, it could get injured and eventually killed. If you take it in, you'll most iikely spend quite a bit of money to get it checked for diseases (FIV, mild case of rabies, etc.) and because it has spent so much time outdoors, it is highly possible that it is a carrier of certain diseases. However, if you bring it to a shelter, the cat will get medical treatment if necessary and a check up. As well, the cat will be well fed and there is a higher chance of adoption there. If you are ready for the cat, by all means take it in. Hope this helped.

That would probably be for the best so they may snip it and find it a home.

crush up a light bulb really fine and put it in a can of tuna and feed it to the cat, then about thirty minutes later go for along walk...it it follows you it won't survive the trip and you will be free of the stray cat

Aww. This happened to me once when I was living in Belgium.
We gave it food.
Then one day it came and dumped a litter of new born kittens on us.
We kind of adopted them and built them a little nest box in the winter.
Take it in or take it to a shelter.

And that's just evil. It's not the cats fault it's homeless and hungry.

If I were you, I wouldn't cross it's path. It probably don't bother chasing mice around. It just slinks down the alley, looking for a fight, howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night, singin' the blues while the lady cats cry, "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."

And now I have officially become my parents. You're welcome, over-30s.

He's yours now.

Oh, sorry. I forgot how cats work. Your his now.

He's decided your his new owner, that's what cat's do. It's what my cat did. You've now got two options. Take him into your home, or to an animal shelter.

Why are all these people suggesting cruelty towards the cat? I remember when this place used to not be like the rest of the internet. It used to be full of kind, intelligent human beings who would give genuine advice when asked. What happened to us, Escapists? When did we become /b/?

Adopt it and give it a home? It sounds friendly enough.

That kindness was replaced by sarcasm and ego stroking I'm afraid, with new members and old members drawing a line making it a very us and them type site for a while. On one side the older members, with superiority issues, and the new guys with superiority issues and no understanding on how to piss people off. Not saying all were involved, but the effects of the conflict linger, as you can see from the posting style.

Or they're dickheads, but whatever.


And I say If you hate cats take it to the pound, or keep it. You only have two options (That aren't assholish *glares at c4 guy*) so pick one and move on, possibly to getting an actual pet you like. I recommend dogs, bears, eagles or goldfish.

Wow, the Escapist can be very sadistic when they put their mind to it (I hope you all are just joking but I wouldn't put it past some of our members ;)

We had the same problem, only the cat was pregnant. It had a beautiful nature and just wanted some food, love and affection. Unfortunately, we rent and aren't allowed animals. Just take it to an animal shelter, they will care for it until someone decides to take it in.

That seems a bit out of order; you're in effect comparing use to the SCUM of the internet.
