If you can fence it in with a catio or a cat proofed fence then I'm all for letting the cats outside. Free roaming cats are devastating to the local environment and ecosystem. Plus they are likely to get run over or munched by a loose dog or coyote. I have my cats leash and harness trained which was a butt load of work but I can take them anywhere and not worry about them getting into trouble. It's more cruel to not give a fuck about what your cat is messing up outside the boundary of your walls.

IAmNotAScientistBut t1_j7wct2e wrote

It's cruel to let them outside. Humans feed cats, therefore cats do not actually need food to survive. However cats are little assholes, and they like to kill things

Domestic cats being supported by humans have wiped out billions of birds and mammals each year and are on track to continue to do so until they wipe out entire populations and eventually species.

In nature the cats would die off due to lack of food, but we feed them and keep their numbers artificially inflated.

JessVaping t1_j7whmvs wrote

Are you kidding me? Not about the destruction and murdering part. Domestic cats won't die out. They are one of the most successful per hunt mammals there is. They won't die out if people stop feeding them. They'll kill even more so they can also eat.

People hate outdoor cats. Especially Reddit. But those people don’t understand that you can’t take an outdoor cat and suddenly make it an indoor cat. Especially older cats that lived their entire lives outdoors.

It doesn’t matter what he was using it for on his own property. Jesus.

If you make the decision to let your vulnerable pet outside, then when that pet dies because of getting hit by a car, or picked up by a neighborhood freak to do god knows what, or eats something toxic to them, then that is on the owner who decided to also willingly expose their pet to hazards like that.

Thank you! I was sympathetic until I read the original.

OP, please go see a therapist for depression and ptsd. You have had a difficult life and are acting irrationally. Your neighbor didn’t kill your cat. This was an accident. To be brutally honest, you should have kept your cat inside if you knew you’d be away and there was a risk your neighbor would forget to dispose the antifreeze.

What you did was sick. Your neighbor likely felt bad enough as it was already. That cat was your responsibility. I’m sorry you lost your brother and your cat but you really messed your neighbor up and now he could become homeless. Tell your landlord. Figure something out. Your neighbor doesn’t deserve this.

They left the cat without food or water for 3 days while they travelled interstate.

He didn't go out his way to kill her cat, she left the cat outside and alone for 3 days and the poor thing ended in his propiety.

That guy didn't buy antifreeze to kill animals he worked fixing cars, it was a simple mistake on his part, but it was pure negligence on her part.

Question time: If you go out town would you left your pet in the streets?

Thats what she did for 3 days and then he destroyed a man's life 'cause she can't assume responsability of her own fuck ups.

Right now if she confess to the family and landlord that poor man could be relased, but she don't want to "because she is scared".

She is letting that man rot in an institution and quite posibily geting his family in debt to pay for it just 'cause she is a narcissist bitch.

Hell, his own husband health and confort means nothing to her, he is allergic to cats and now they had another one just 'cause she is "sad" and a new kitty will "make her happy".

You are totally the asshole. The people on here saying you are not are as selfish as you are. Was he wrong for leaving out antifreeze? He'll yes he was. Who doesn't know antifreeze kills? Sadly your cat died. But it was a cat. You most likely, illegally, tortured your neighbor resulting in the person having a mental break down, being involuntarily committed and now facing being homeless, or at best, out a lot of money and far less favorable living conditions due to the eviction. You should be wholly ashamed of your actions and if you had even a small amount of decency, you would confess what you did and at least try to help keep him from being evicted if not more. Selfish fucking people.

Seriously and OP is disregarding her own culpability in these series of events.

That said, if this tale is true, I have to acknowledge a grudging respect for how you ruined his sanity. If he'd been evil and killed the animal, I'd even consider it justified.

But as it is, you are in the wrong and ruining someone's life over your own fault.

How is your husband allergic to cats but yet bought you another one?

Neighbor had an auto repair business (in screenshots of ops original story). No indication that they intended to hurt the cat.

he said he would rather live with a semi runny nose in order for me to be happy.

Plus he bought a cat that is suppose to not aggravate allergies.

Do you EVER consider anyone but yourself? You even said in your original post you PLANNED to eventually get another cat when the first one died even knowing he was allergic.

Thank you for the update and correction. Animal cruelty in any form is unacceptable. Shame on the OP. I, for, one appreciate the enlightenment and clarification.

It's like textbook ESH.

Don't let your cat's roam free, they're effin' genocide machines and it cuts like ten years off their life.

Don't leave literal poisons sitting out after you're asked to by your neighbors with a cat they let out.

I had an old cat named Milo that recently died because the neighbor (live in a duplex) left out antifreeze. We asked him not to around 4 times but he always shook it off.

Guilt. This is called guilt.

No he didn't, did you ever stop and think where this anti-freeze is and why the cat was in his living area to begin with? It sounds like both parties are neglectful in the cats demise.

We don’t know if the cat was in his living area and we don’t know where the antifreeze was.

Scrooge needs a time out in solitary confinement if he's poisoning neighborhood cats. Milo's revenge is justified and righteous. The Tell Tale Heart but with cat meows

He didn’t poison the cat. Op left the cat outside alone for three days while going off somewhere knowing full well the neighbor works with antifreeze as he’s basically an at home mechanic

northernCRICKET t1_j7xban4 wrote

Antifreeze is slow acting, it can take months to kill on its own. I'm skeptical 3 days would have been enough exposure. Antifreeze belongs in it's bottle with the child resistant cap on, not in open containers. I doubt the story is as black and white as you're portraying.

Reminds me of the time I bought these little speakers with wee magnets in them, they had a few sounds you could cycle through and one of them was a cat meowing. They'd play tye sound every 5 minutes or so and ilat the time I lived with 6 others in my flat. I kept shifting the speaker to different places every few days and would take it away for a couple days at a time. I had all my flatmates looking around wondering where this fucking cat was to the point one of them thought it was in the wall or something. I even walked around the house and was helping them search for the cat. I eventually caved and let them in on the joke and got some good reactions from them.

I didn't know the whole story when I originally made this post. Your cat depended on you to keep him safe. You failed him. You should not have let him go outside if you knew he might come in contact with antifreeze. That's on you. As far as your neighbor goes, I still say fuck him.

Bruh he purposely killed your cat. Antifreeze is an incredibly painful and preventable death. I feel no sympathy for this man. There’s absolutely no excuse to use ethylene glycol based antifreeze.

The only reason other subs might be saying you’re an asshole, isn’t for what happened to the neighbor - no, he purposely killed your old cat. He deserves this. It’s because your husband, as well intentioned as it was, brought another animal into a situation where someone very close by wants to kill it. He put the cat (and potentially yourselves) in danger by doing so. The neighbor now having to move is the best case scenario for everyone, but he should have been handled first.

incognitopear t1_j7w4t3u wrote

Yeah I see OP heavily revised this version of events, and worded it in a way that made it sound intentional. OP sucks and Milo’s death was absolutely avoidable from all sides involved. Yeah, he shouldn’t have left it out - not just because of her cat, but for any animals that would have gotten into it. It’s negligent. But so is letting your cat free roam, where it could find something like that 10 feet away at your neighbors - or 10 streets away. The cat could camp out behind an Autozone for all OP knows. And to purposefully fuck with someone’s mental health when 50% of the blame falls on yourself, also sucks.

No reputable auto repair business should be leaving out open antifreeze. Neighbor is an idiot.

Not TIFU. Someone mentally unstable enough to poison a cat and destroy property on a tirade needs help, and shouldn't be out in public until that treatment is either in progress or completed.

i read the original post, saw nothing that stated that, leaving out antifreeze in open containers like that is dangerous, any animal in the neighborhood could get poisoned from it and should not have been done, they had an emergency and had to leave for a few days, reckless? sure, i dont like outdoor cats, prefer them being indoor, but people should not be leaving antifreeze outside, keep business work at a fucking business, not in a duplex

I’m not saying he should leave it out but it’s some serious negligence to know that your neighbour leaves out poison and still let your cat go out
