My friend can't find her cat - I know what happened to it - It's not good

[BobG]

This is such a huge can of worms. The city worker who disposed of the carcass had a huge fallout with her. Led to jail time, in fact.

All this over a dead cat. Part of me thinks it might be better to let it die.

But I didn't know at that time. The city worker told me it was her cat, and he actually took care of it for a few years because he was her stepfather.

A can of worms.

No no. Her former stepfather disposed of it.

well that makes it worse. seems like he'd have a higher responsibility to deliver the news, tho, unless there's some kind of restraining order in place.

Pretty much the case. They need to stay away from each other.

This sounds like a very strange family, including the girl. If the cat's been gone this long, she knows it's gone for good. The "found a new family" is just a "happy thought" since it really doesn't matter whether the cat's dead or living with someone else.

In any event, the kitty scenario has pretty much played itself out. Next phase is the unplanned pregnancy and single parenthood - that will make the family dynamics much more interesting than just a mere kitten.

As neighbors, they have some entertainment value, but I wouldn't be trying to develop any serious relationships with anyone in that family.

Did a Moderator insert this link? What is this for? This doesn't have anything to do with the cat situation.[PLAIN]http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6097/scratchhead.gif

Lets say I have an impulse to get the government to achieve greater momentum re the action in Libya.
I didn't link any of that, but it auto-links to the library.

Sorry about your dead cat. I had one 4 years ago, died 2 months after my ownership, but i still believe it's alive whenever I see any cat!

Oooh... someone didn't read the thread before posting...

he can't see you

I second that you shouldn't get her a new kitten. Let her make the decision on that one herself, when she's moved on emotionally. It's also possible she'd want an older cat with an established personality, or one that "finds her."

Furthermore, you don't have to give her details on "who" disposed of the cats remains... Saying "a city worker" would be enough.

Oh, I know, but I simply don't care.

That would tell her everything.
