A sad movie of a cat trying to revive his friend run over bya car
Suddenly, without warning, Netmask exclaimed (7/16/2010 8:37 PM):
http://www.youmaker.com/video/sv?id=...a8b3f003432001 And they say animals can't grieve, and don't understand death. How is what this cat is doing any different than any human crying and holding a deceased friend and crying, "Don't leave me!"? As Gandalf said, heartbreaking. jmc |

Only some religions say this.....Us atheists know better. One of our (older) cats follows my wife around like a puppy dog. When she goes down to California to visit her grandkids, he grieves and lives in her clothes closet until she comes back. If she didn't make it back, I think he would die there........ |

Actually, my comment had nothing to do with religion at all, in fact I don't believe this to be a subject divided along religious lines. Meep follows me around like a puppydog as well, but over time has realized that I always come back, and uses hubby as an alternate petting machine when I'm gone. She bosses him around a lot more than I allow her to do to me jmc |

In my experience, the religious set thinks only we humans have souls, and, (as a result) there are no animals in heaven. They also tend to put animals down a lot, because their God doesn't do much toward saving all those millions of little furry creatures from freezing and starving to death every Winter. The atheistic types, however, know that animals think, grieve, and feel pain, both emotional and physical, just as we humans do, and that video shows it very well. |

The atheistic types, however, know that animals think, grieve, and feel pain, both emotional and physical, just as we humans do, and that video shows it very well. Years ago, my mom and I were discussing this as we are Christian, but also believe that animals go to heaven. How could it be heaven without them? My mom suggested that animals were never kicked out of the garden, therefore, they do not need a way into heaven. As for soul, I think it really depends on definition. Animals clearly demonstrate emotions and self-awareness. They can makes friends and enemies, do good things and bad, etc. They just have a lower level of thinking, such as a small child who understands a limited concept of good and bad, but can't plan for the future and predict consequences. We have always brought home our dead animals after they have been euthanized. Not only do we bury them at home, but we believe that the other animals should see them and understand as best they can what happened. When my first cat, Fiona, died, my second cat was 9 years old. He was not the brightest cat I have had, but was very sweet, and was definitely best buddies with Fiona. He approached her the first time, hissed, and ran away. He returned about 15 minutes later, and purred for a long time. That night, he slept in her spot on top of me, and did not do it again for almost a year. I really believe this methods helps us all, as we can all grieve together and comfort each other. Otherwise, they may wait months before giving up and fully grieving, and by then, the people don't understand what the problem is. My last loss was Kira, 4 years ago this month. She hated Chase, because he chased her (never name your cat Chase, huge mistake). After she died, Chase was miserable. He grieved badly for her. We never realized how much he loved her because he was always chasing her. But he thought it was a game, so he lost his buddy. He has since moved on to chasing somebody else, who also does not appreciate it. But it was very hard for him for several months as he really greived a lot for her. |

Sadly, God doesn't do much toward saving all those millions of humans who starve to death and die of disease every year either. Yes.....Kind of makes you wonder just what he's doing with all that spare time, doesn't it? Of course, one would never think that "He" doesn't exist at all......... |

If you think the name "Chase" is part of the problem, why don't you
rename him? * What do you think would be a suitable name that he would like? *MLB It was mostly a joke. We didn't realize when we named him that he was going to be a hunter cat and that our other cats would be prey. But he was a barn cat. We may have gotten him as a kitten, but he has very strong hunting instincts from his parents. SO, I doubt any name would have made a difference. He will be 10 years old next month, so this is simply the way he is. |
