Weer In Ur Treeze
A 27-year-old Orange man fell to his death from a 50-foot Italian cypress tree as he attempted to rescue a cat, the Orange County Register reported Thursday.
The cat got up there, the cat most definitely can get down. It stays because it doesn't have anything better to do, and enjoys the view. Ignore this at your peril.
Like that whole scene in the first Police Academy movie where the officer-trainee offers to help get the old lady's cat out of the tree.
Assisted by his .44 revolver....
Posted by: Mark on March 2, 2008 07:49 PMAs the saying goes, how many cat skeletons do you see in trees?
Posted by: Bob Hawkins on March 2, 2008 09:04 PMWouldn't the cat skeleton be at the base of the tree, rather than in the tree, usually? To be honest, trees can be a danger to cats, who sometimes do make mistakes, misjudge the limits of their endurance and lose their grip, panic and jump somewhere they shouldn't, and so on. However, an outdoor cat is really far more likely to get killed by being cornered by a hungry urban predator, or run over by a car, than by climbing in a tree. Cats climb trees for a reason: they're extremely well equipped for them, more so than most of the predators a cat should really be worried about.
Posted by: Tatterdemalian on March 2, 2008 10:24 PMSo I stumbled on this site by accident. This is not something I would normally check in on but...just browsing through this and WOW this is sad. I don't know whats more sad putting semi-racist/poor spelling captions to dumb cat pictures or that you actually search them out and post them here. I know my opinion doesn't matter but WOW. If I had a cat it would hate all of you, and if I had a cat it would be able to spell AND still be funny. HANG IN THERE! You should all get that joke. That should've been the end of the cat caption posters. I didn't realize how out of hand and bored you people must be. I feel bad for your cats! Maybe even more so if you have other sane people living with you. I'm definately a huge animal lover...but not this sick. I hope you find a picture of a cat pis*ing on a keyboard. I'm sure someone will think of something REALLY clever to write with it...heres one suggestion...Computerz duwn I guezz Iz gonna haz ta fase reazalitie & finz me sumpthan elze 2 do. Wow "cat lovers" good luck with all this.

Posted by: ronaprhys on March 4, 2008 06:41 AMUh oh... we caught a LIVE ONE guys!!!
Read the frickin' subtitle, f- you for thinking we hate cats.
Posted by: ellen on March 4, 2008 06:27 PMI had to add to come back cause I knew someone would get as p*ssed as I got last night. To ELLEN..I ran out of space to write last night, but you might be the absolute worst one on here! Bet you didn't expect a brown person to see, using this as one example... your "nigga please" pic. How cute is that a racist kitty! What a horrible hateful word. So YOU read the comment I made, I didn't say you hate cats I said YOUR CATS HATE YOU! I don't know you (gladly!) but I do dare say I bet you like black cats more than black people. I'm sure you'll say I have "ethnic" friends etc so that makes it ok...Oh yeah and to the sheep comment before that, I bet you almost said "fallating cats" and then changed it to sheep so you wouldn't look like a hypocrite. So clever, I blow sheep, obviously. If that makes you feel better go ahead and think so. I really don't get this heated with this stuff, and I know it's my own opinion but it's just so stupid and adding to the stupidity of it, all those pictures, i don't want to think about how much time that took because I bet my head would explode. You should put a warning on the top of this site...IF YOU"RE NOT AN EXTREME CAT LOVER DO NOT PROCEED! HEAD MAY EXPLODE! It'd be a service to the public. If it was more accesable to the general public I'm sure I wouldn't be alone on this. So if anything comes out of me angering you (cause I was pretty mad after looking through all that mess too!), you can get mad and defensive at my comment that you put racist sh*t in here but if anything it makes you look even worse, but everyone will stick up for you, say it was just some harmless pictures, etc etc you'll feel better for awhile etc etc. Good for you. So with that, I leave you to all of this wonderful world of cat business...I honestly can't ever come back here because it's really an awful place, obviously a few awful people. I'm sure your cats think you're just wonderful. I've also seen cats eat out of garbage cans. Sorry to scott who I first posted this under, you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I didn't feel like backtracking though the 1,000 pages of "iz a gud katty" pictures. I've known enough cat people of this magnitude to know that a lot of you(not all of you)live in your own self-induced personal hell anyways so I hope there's enough room in your personal baggage for "yewz'z olz missa kittyz". I know I have no business in here, and I honestly don't usually go throwing my 2 cents around and pass judgement, but I obviously don't belong here, so good news if you didn't catch it, aside from selling my laptop & buying a dog I will avoid this site wholeheartedly and banish myself from it forever. Peace
Posted by: U Lewzerz on March 5, 2008 04:23 AMGood grief where did all of this come from. This is the craziest thing I have read since the "Vampire" people got involved on your site. Is he reading the same site that I am? Just block him and forget it.
Posted by: Pat J. on March 5, 2008 05:48 AMI had to add to come back cause I knew someone would get as p*ssed as I got last night. Pissed because you're an idiot? Pity would be closer, no?
To ELLEN..I ran out of space to write last night, but you might be the absolute worst one on here! Doubtful - that's probably me. And I don't think there's much of a size limit on the posts, so I'm not sure what room you ran out of.
Bet you didn't expect a brown person to see, using this as one example... your "nigga please" pic. What would being brown have to do with it? Nigga vs nigger, no? (or attractive and successful African American, depending on your bent). Maybe it would help to know that said pic was created by a brown person - so how would that make some racist anymore than a cracka playing Snoop?
How cute is that a racist kitty! What a horrible hateful word. Which is why it's used so often in hip-hop, rap, movies, etc? It can be hateful (but again, may I point you to the nigga/nigger debate), but that depends on its usage.
So YOU read the comment I made, I didn't say you hate cats I said YOUR CATS HATE YOU! I sincerely doubt that her cats hate her (more than cats hate anyone on general principle), but if it makes you feel better.
I don't know you (gladly!) The gladly part is likely true, because none of us tolerate idiots well.
but I do dare say I bet you like black cats more than black people. Interesting - so you're basing your stupid-ass comment on one pic that's been all over the web - posted by people of all cultures, races, and ethnicities? That's some killer insight there. Have you managed to cure cancer yet? Solve the riddle of chicken vs the egg?
I'm sure you'll say I have "ethnic" friends etc so that makes it ok... Race continues to be a problem not because it's noticed, but because people continue to make it a problem. Socio-economic status and lack of education now contribute more to the problems faced by different ethnicities than race does. Maybe getting with the times would help?
Oh yeah and to the sheep comment before that, I bet you almost said "fallating cats" and then changed it to sheep so you wouldn't look like a hypocrite. Again - lack of basic research. I'm not the cat lover here. I'm a dog person, but that's not why I made the comment. I made it because you honestly seem like someone who would abuse animals sexually.
So clever, I blow sheep, obviously. I wouldn't be surprised. Someone who randomly seeks out sites, does little to no research on the actual content of the site, makes a surface judgement based on a quick look at things (isn't that what racists do? Judge people by their phenotypes instead of what's inside of them?), and then goes on an uninformed rant. To assume that you blow sheep wouldn't seem to be too far out of the picture.
If that makes you feel better go ahead and think so. Okay - hope you enjoy the taste.
I really don't get this heated with this stuff, So you don't get heated but you do post random rants instead of moving your mouse up to that little X in the corner and clicking on it? Seems to me that the evidence is proving your words incorrect, no?
and I know it's my own opinion but it's just so stupid and adding to the stupidity of it, Your opinion is stupid? Well, yes. Thanks for admitting it.
all those pictures, i don't want to think about how much time that took because I bet my head would explode. Seriously. Are you mentally deficient in some way? You do realize that lolcats (as they're called) are an intratubes phenomenon that's been going on for quite some time and very few of the ones posted here are originals by the site's authors? That they're simply collected from elsewhere? Tell me you can't be so damned stupid as to not know that.
You should put a warning on the top of this site...IF YOU"RE NOT AN EXTREME CAT LOVER DO NOT PROCEED! HEAD MAY EXPLODE! Yes, because the whole "Wjere cats, science fiction, and anger come together." doesn't imply that. Your house had lead paint in it, didn't it? Or was it under powerlines?
It'd be a service to the public. No - a service to the public would be you learning to click the close button, Alt+F4, or simply going to another page would be a public service.
If it was more accesable to the general public I'm sure I wouldn't be alone on this. Because the web isn't that available to the public? Because membership and payment is required to see the content of this site? By the Goddess you don't seem to be demonstrating any sort of actual intelligence, do you?
So if anything comes out of me angering you (cause I was pretty mad after looking through all that mess too!), Better living through chemistry. You have serious anger issues if this made you angry. Maybe you should consider moving to Montana and living in a cabin in the woods, all alone, free from influences like this that might anger you. Plus, I hear they've got sheep up there, so you've got that going for you.
you can get mad and defensive at my comment that you put racist sh*t in here but if anything it makes you look even worse, only to the uneducated.
but everyone will stick up for you, or just deride you because you're an idiot.
say it was just some harmless pictures, burden of proof that it's harmful is on you.
etc etc you'll feel better for awhile etc etc. wouldn't any of us have to feel bad first?
Good for you. Nice of you to wish someone well after insulting them.
So with that, I leave you to all of this wonderful world of cat business...I honestly can't ever come back here because it's really an awful place, obviously a few awful people. If you mean almost all pop culture sites on the intrawebs are awful because they've got the exact same cat pics posted, then sure.
I'm sure your cats think you're just wonderful. Well, they are treated well, given appropriate medical care, etc.
I've also seen cats eat out of garbage cans. What in the shit does this have to do with anything? I've seen dogs, raccoons, opossums, birds, cats, rats, mice, bugs, bears, and all sorts of other animals eating out of the garbage. Does this immediately disqualify their worth? What kind of stupid makes someone say something so damned idiotic?
Sorry to scott who I first posted this under, if you look at the way this site is set up, posting is just in general. It's not to any specific person. But that sort of basic research is obviously above your capabilities.
you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Much like your entire rant?
I didn't feel like backtracking though the 1,000 pages of "iz a gud katty" pictures. Because simply picking one thread and posting in a relevent one is all that damned difficult? Or hitting that fun green button with an arrow pointing to the left that allows you to go back a page? That way you post in a thread that's even marginally related to the nonsense you're spewing?
I've known enough cat people of this magnitude and were you this polite to all of them?
to know that a lot of you(not all of you)live in your own self-induced personal hell anyways so I hope there's enough room in your personal baggage for "yewz'z olz missa kittyz". for serious, what does this have to do with anything? You seem to be the one with baggage - you know, the whole seeking out someone's site and posting a rant instead of clicking through?
I know I have no business in here, That's Scott and Ellen's call, but I think that you won't be missed.
and I honestly don't usually go throwing my 2 cents around and pass judgement, evidence as presented here says that this isn't the case. In fact, you seem to be the type that prefaces everything you say to others with that and then you proceed to tell them what's wrong with whatever has managed to tweak you at that moment.
but I obviously don't belong here, Yet you keep coming back. Interesting.
so good news if you didn't catch it, aside from selling my laptop & buying a dog I will avoid this site wholeheartedly and banish myself from it forever. Wait. You decided that, after seeing this site, you're going to sell your laptop and buy a dog? Honestly - I'm a dog lover, not a cat lover. With that in mind, don't get a dog. Get a pet rock. Preferably one with sharp edges and all. Do, however, sell the laptop. With the proceeds you can probably buy your own little chunk of Montana and set up your cabin.
Peace through superior firepower
Posted by: ron on March 5, 2008 06:24 AMthat's the thing--you never get this level of lunacy with dog people. Even the ones who 'just wuvs' the little yappy high-strung ones are more grounded.
And thanks to our new nut-bar for providing much--if not deliberate--entertainment for us all!!
All I can say is "go Ron!" Best point/counterpoint I've read in awhile!
Ten bucks says U.L. is whiter than Ron's butt. There's no rage like wigga wannabe rage.
Posted by: Tatterdemalian on March 5, 2008 10:35 AMPerhaps he is stupid enough not to look on the WWW to see that actual pix was created by someone else on a CATURDAY from FARK!
I am sure this person will be back to comment more. ;)
Too bad they don't know I am an LVT that works at a all cat hospital.
Yes, I have 2 black cats and several very good African American friends for the past 22 years.
Then again, am I not the person that takes all the 'broken' cats in and spend thousands of $ over the past 10 years on them?
Really too bad for that person.
Posted by: ellen on March 5, 2008 10:58 AMTat - he'd have to be damned white to be whiter than my ass. Funny thought, tho. Especially considering the "brown person" comment.
Mark - glad I could provide amusement.
