Passive smoking can kill your cat

[job]

Heh, I found this while surfing. Thought it was interesting.

If I had cats now I would have no qualms about smoking in front of them although I might mention to them that I was a smoker.

LOL! :D

[Durandal7]

This would be of a lot of concern to me, that is if I smoked or had a cat.

my cat's secondhand smoke is giving me cancer. Seriously.

[King Cobra]

Oh boy. This could mean trouble for our family starting in the upcoming year...smoking and cats.

FYI, no, I don't smoke. I would rather die than smoke anything.

The problem is that a family member has been doing this for about DOUBLE the time I've been on this planet. And this person does not want to quit.

So when the family moves to Maine (an isolated area, I'm in Wells temporarily right now) we plan to get a cat or two, along with a dog, to keep stray rats away and *****. However, I don't see how the poor kitten will survive in a house with someone who's f!!ked up 30+ years of his/her life and wants to keep smoking. So this is bad news for us.

A door falling could also kill a cat....
And car accidents happens every day....

Geez....

[King Cobra]

Funny you should bring that up, crassusad.

We're doing finishing touches on the doors and stuff in the house, so we probably don't have to worry about that.

As for cars, it's like you only see them on your street once every 10+ minutes or so.

I'm just watching out for those FedEx trucks roaring by... :p

I love all these people that say things like, smoking will increase you chance of cancer by 25% thus increasing your chance of death by 25%. Look, it is simple, really. We all have a 100% chance of death. Do we want to live life, and enjoy life, or live off of kelp and diet water for God's sake. Me, I want a smoke, drink, steak, and a tv. That is my idea of living.

Yea, smoking kills your cat. Well, it had to die somehow right.

Shhhh.....

Don't tell anyone else. :)

[kiwi_the_iwik]

Hmmm...

It doesn't say there's anything wrong about smoking the cat though...


For example:

Q: How do you make a cat go "woof"?

A: Pour petrol on it and set it on fire...
:D

[Mr. Anderson]

Now that's not very nice. :(

I just took one of ours to the vet yesterday to get its claws removed - she's not happy at all.....it will definitely change her relationship with the dog, but our furniture won't be destroyed.

You two have some wierd imagination... :p :D

kiwi, I think that if you did that to your cat, you would get burnt later on. :rolleyes:

All right, let me add to the fun...

If you smoke around your cat, he may get lung catcer. :p

But, plain and simple, smoking around your cat is just furry stupid. People need to choose between their cats and their flats. :D

[kiwi_the_iwik]

I suggest you read that great book -

"101 Uses For A Dead Cat"

;)

I bet the dog can't WAIT to get a piece of that cat (without fear of recrimination!)...

Duke - look at him now, sitting in the corner...

...just plotting his revenge for all those scratched noses he's had over the years....


NYEEEEEEEHAAAAHAAAAHHHH!!!

:p

Heh, our family just rescued a cat from the wild.

It was about 2 weeks old when we first got it and is now approching it's 5 month birthday.

It's teething though, and has decided that it is going to use our hands and feet as it's scratching post. Not fun. :rolleyes:

Thank you B2TM! for once someone sees things from my point of view. There's nothing better than a bloody steak followed by a nice smoke... ;) i've been doing it for years, and i'm still alive...

Forget passively smoking the cat to death, how about actively smoking a cat in one of those fancy outdoor smoker grills.

It's faster, quicker, and tastier.

I wonder when PETA is going to jump on our tails for saying this(Pun intended) You are very sick, cats are some of the coolest animals around, my cat is going to come and eat your brain:)

[mymemory]

Hey, what was the name of that site where you could buy a cat inside a bottle?

BTW, Cats are the perfect example that not everything in nature has a function.

I've never heard of that. I do remember that a picture was circulating a few years ago of the "G4 Cube" cat. It was a cat stuffed into the clear portion of the G4 Cube case. Pretty damn funny.

[djwoolf]

As far as the smoking thing my cat is too fat and lazy (23 lbs and his belly drags on the floor) to get up and go outside while i smoke. The only time he get out of my bed is to eat and go take a dump outside. So if he happens upon me then it is only by chance.
And as for de-clawing how would you like your finger nails pulled out one-by-one with a set of plyers and only local ansthesia. The butter way to get then to stp clawing furniture is to get a squirt bottle and fill it almost to the top w/ water ant top it off with vinegar. When the cat scratches give him a couple of quick squirts. in a week that cat wont even have to be squirted hell just run when he sees you move for the bottle.

[Hemingray]

My oh my this thread has gone downhill since I last checked... :rolleyes: :D

As for that whole cat-in-a-bottle thing, it was a total hoax. Investigated by the FBI and everything. Funny as heck though! It got one of my animals rights activits friends so disturbed that she called the ASPCA, who confirmed the hoax for her. Even had me believing it for awhile. After we found out, we were all a bit embarrassed. :p

[job]

I never saw this pic........

[voyagerd]

good

[job]

Heh, is it that bad?

[Hemingray]

The whole premise behind the "cat-in-a-bottle" was that of a novelty, allegedly very popular in Asian countries. The young kitten would be placed inside various sized bottles with tubes attached to both ends of them to perform their bodily functions and receive nourishment while staying inside the jar. Then once the cat reached the limits of the bottle its shape would conform to that of the bottle. They had a whole bunch of pictures of funky shaped bottles that these cats were "crammed" into. I have to admit it looked convincingly real.

Once again, it turned out to be a total hoax and it can't really happen, so "kitties" don't try this at home... :p (I can't believe I stooped to the level of this thread's play-on-word running gag... :rolleyes: )

Years ago, when I lived in Philly, they had a shortage of live cats in Chinatown. They found them later...as beef. :D

That must have been the inspiration for the G4 Cube Cat, it was the exact same thing only the cat was in a G4 Cube. If only I could find the damn link.

Was it the Bonsai Kitty getting cubed?

Just when you think you've seen enought stupidity on the web, you get something you never imagined......

They forgot one important thing, the litter extraction device, after 4 weeks I imagine it gets quite stinky ;) :rolleyes:

Does the RSPCA or the PETA know about that? :p

[kiwi_the_iwik]

Hmmm - your very own "Cat-in-a-Box".

Looks like a great gift idea - especially for those people that you don't like. You can post it to them in some nice cardboard packaging - interstate even, or preferably international!!!!

For extra smelly "cheesiness", send it second-class postage...

Whew!:p

:D

[MacGuy]

B.S. I smoke and my 2 cats were 14 & 13 years old when they both died.

Not because my cig. smoke killed them! But becuase my ->non<-smoking neigbhour used a herbicide on his garden just before it rained and both of my cats died as a result of drinking rain water outdoors contaminated with his 'sweet toxic'.

P.S. It's not fun to find your pets that way!

[King Cobra]

Hey, I'm glad to see another Cube user on the forums. :D :p

Just remember though, if smoking doesn't kill your cats, it will either stunt your growth, or do both. :rolleyes:
