Beans Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Warning Anti-Freeze Spills Due to somebody’s neglect to clean up / cover up a spill, our small cat died a horrible death…(burnt mouth and stomach, complete renal shutdown of kidneys and liver) No animal deserves to die this way be it a dog, cat. skunk, raccoon, fox, etc. We are posting this in the hope that your pet does not suffer the same fate and that our beloved “Rocky” did not die in vain… I know that lots of us on the board drive old cars or like to do their own "flush and fills" but please be carefull to mop up afterwards... So long Rocky...we sure miss you... Geeeze...Who da thought a hard-bitten old wino from the corner of Coxwell and Queen St would get all blubbering over some silly little cat...

douG Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm sorry to hear of your tragedy, Norm. Maybe we will all be a little more careful as a result of your loss. Best to you and Maribeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Sorry Norm, I believe it causes kidney failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 So sorry Norm. Most of us think the same way that you do about our feline and canine buddies. It is well known that anti-freeze is lethal to dogs and cats and unfortunately it seems to have a sweet pleasant taste to them. Nothing silly about your feelings for Rocky. John...

Photoz Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Sorry about your much loved pet . . . . no shame in 'blubbering' about it . . . . these creatures are 'family,' and can become very attached. I certainly hope this was purely accidental, and not somebody purposely setting this out for racoons, skunks & other pests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie Twist Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Also, don't let your cats wander off your property where you have no control over what they drink! This also ensures they don't piss on my door mat and poop in my kids sandbox, and my flower beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) A family pet is a family member and their passing is most grevious, I'm sorry to hear of your tragic loss Norm. I'm sure Rocky was a good and faithful cat. Carelessness with antifreeze is just plain stupid!!! Edited October 3, 2008 by GCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPoke Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm sorry to hear about Rocky, Norm - and thanks for bringing this up. About three weeks ago I replaced a water pump on my Tahoe. I removed the old one and picked up the new one on the way to work using my van. While I was at work, I left the drain pan under the vehicle for at least 12 hours. Any number of critters could have gotten into it. I won't be doing that again. It would have taken an extra two minutes to tidy up. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1leggedangler Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 So very sorry to hear about the loss of your kitten. As for Tie Twist's comment there is a time and place and this was definitely not the time!!!! Sincerely, 1leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
