Get a cat carrier! This is how cats escape and get hit by cars! Thanks.
Um, what do you think those are in the picture, lamps?!
I’m tired of this holier-than-thou complainey @#%&. Take your self-righteous bleating somewhere else.
Cats are not getting hurt in these pictures. They are hardy animals and they love to play. They do things worse than this to themselves 10,000 times a day.
What’s in the picture is two sets of two laundry baskets each, held together with bungee cords (whatever their official name is). NOT carriers. There’s a suitcase propped against the one on the left, just waiting for a bump or a sudden start/stop in traffic to lean into the top of the makeshift carrier causing the top to shift loose and/or collapse further into the bottom basket. You can see that it’s already started to shift because of the weight.
I’m tired of the “self-righteous bleating” too (the iPod thing - Jeez! ::eyeroll::), but my first thought when I saw this particular picture was - “oy, tell me they’re not really gonna DRIVE like that, because when that cat gets out, driving’s going to become very difficult all of a sudden.” Hopefully they’re laid-back, calm and unrufflable kitties.
My second thought was, the cats are going to associate the laundry baskets with a few minutes of unpleasantness, and I feel sorry for any clean clothes that get left lying around in the baskets afterwards! Hee.
elayne r goddess who splains why this is NOT GOOD LOLCATS!
if i wanted to see “poorly cared-for kittehs” I got whole f^&%$ing YouTube of morons who owz cats.
Jeebus. Laundry baskets. As I sed to huzband in car today after latest “dog killz bebeh” newz story, “poor animalz and baybeez left in teh hands of STOOPID ADULTZ!!!!”
at least the hoomans did not tie poor kittehs on top of car and drive very fast for a long trip, like the guy who wants to be de presedent
Ummmm…. what? Linkage please?
I herd bout dis, but nao I haz red bout it, hez a bigger jerk dan I even thot bfor: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/2007-06-29-romney-dog_N.htm?csp=34
Mit Romney used to strap his dog carrier, with the dog in it, to the top of the car on family vacations. He says that he’d rigged up something that kept the wind off the carrier, but still. BAD IDEA.

Hey there,
Number 1. Hello. I’m the person who took this picture.
Number 2. We were in the very sudden process of EVACUATING Louisiana for San Antonio Texas due to the little rain shower called Hurrican Katrina. Heard of it?
My boyfriends father, and owner of Casper and Rascal up there, wasn’t planning to evacuate the night before, so when the storm turned in morning, and everyone rushed around like mad men trying to pack essentials, the stores were sadly already sold out of cat carriers (yell at Wal*Mart, not us), so he rigged up these much roomier and perfectly safe carriers for the kitties. It gave them plenty of room to walk around, stretch out, sleep, and basically be more comfortable than us cramped humans in the seats. They were coddled and talked to the whole ride there, as well as being securely wedged (for lack of a better word) in place in the back.
If anyone wants to complain to me about the way the guys were transported feel free to email me. And I’ll ask you when that last time you evacuated one of the worst natural disasters in history was.

Just felt I needed to add my $0.02 here.
These cats are ri-donk-u-lously spoiled and loved. They were the first things considered in the evacuation.
I actually thought this was a clever idea. I’m not sure what kind of cat carriers other people have but I can’t imagine the one we own for my cat being this roomy or comfortable. Not to mention reusable and easy to clean.
ftw!!1!
You didn’t need to explain yourself, but you did, and anyone who second-guesses you on this one needs to “walk a mile” first.
had to buy a cat carrier? How did you ever take them to the vet without already owning cat carrier? You need to have one carrier for every car you own. I went to a rabies clinic the other day (free shots FTW!) and some lady brought 2 cats in one carrier and two more in a towel each. Of course the second they openned the double occupency carrier, one shot out and was never seen again. If you’re going to own a cat you need to have the supplies to care for it, including a carrier…in case of emergencies….
Veterinarian House calls.
My mother’s vet(now mine as well) does them, so no need to stress an animal out by driving them around in a cramped carrier. Also some of us actually know how to order our pet’s meds online and how to administer vaccination properly to our pets. Which by the way if you vaccinate your own animals, in my experience, they think of it as even more attention. I have six cats and ten dogs currently and I go to refill my ink cartridges(via needle) and I have them all over me thinking it’s medicine time.
I’s red dat diffarantly.
I thot elvencat juss nycely sayen “B cairfull wiff ur cats.” Dyd knot thynk whiney or complayny. Elven eben sed “Tanks.”
I wuz coming bak to commint pozatively on Elven’s commint. Sum ownurs due put 2gedder fallty carryiers an teh kittehs due get owt. Dat’s all. Elven nebber sed dese kittehs wur b-ing hurted.
uumm dey talkin ’bout D.r. I bleeve.
CBSB was talking TO D.R., about Elven, who posted the first comment.
Also, to conserve posts: Ronniecat- i r goddess?? WOOHOO! (c:
OOHHhhh. I jus got back to werk from 9 dayz vacay. my brainz still on vacay.

Actually, these folks were fleeing Katrina, so cut them some slack, eh?
They got their kittens out of a freaking hurricane/devasting flood.
there it is - it’s the “OH SNAP” heard around the icanhascheezburger !!! LOL’S

mucho WIN.
WIN—living in Florida, I get to say that phrase at least once a year. So much LOLs for Stend.
Aaaaaaaaaand WIN.
WIN
SRS LOLs! Love you Stend.
And really. As someone who lives in New Orleans most of the year, I would rather put my cats (if I had any, as the living situation doesn’t allow pets) in a laundry basket in my car than leave them to fend for themselves if I evacuate. Then again, if I had cats I’d probably end up having cat carriers too.
In all fairness, there’s no way of knowing that from the picture. Of course that makes a difference as to one’s opinion of the kitteh ownerz, but not of the less than optimal nature of the transportation. If you think people aren’t dim enough to do this without having a natural disaster as motivation, I envy you your optimism about humanity, and wish fervently that I shared it.
bull.
everyone calmly places their companion animals in an almost empty vehicle, in patently unsafe transport containers, when fleeing a hurricane in brite sunshine.
I actooly tend to wear the cats as hats when fleeing hurricanes, but that’s just me. I trained my last cat to be a hat when she was just yamika sized, but then when she was older she could put her back paws on my shoulders. she tolerated it but I could tell she was thinking ’stoopid hoomans’
the purroblem wif dat, ob course, is whut happens iffen its a erfquake? i meen, duz dey NOES it da sayme drill? or du dey tink, in troo cat fashun, “unh unh, dis ain’t no hurricayne, i ain’t getting into hat pose”?
aftpurr hurricane andrew, i tink, cat fancy mag ran an artikal on dizaster preparedness, wherein dey purrposed dat peeps trayn dere cats to run into dere carriers upon verbal command. tawk about imajining da looks frum da cats as you stand in da middle ob da libing room yelling, “fire!” or, “flood” or eben, “catnip!” yeah. rite.
i fink only way to do that is yelling “lunchyyyyyyyyy tttiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee” and then placing da food bowl in teh carrier…
I mean, who carez about teh mess in there, as long as kitteh be safe, right?
Heh.
I have three cats and two dogs. I kennel the dogs at night, because one has bladder control issues and the other likes to crowd me off the bed. The dogs are trained to go into their kennels at the command “Dogs, house!” Once they are in their kennels, they wait patiently for their (small) nighttime treat.
When the cats hear me call, “Dogs, house!” they are in the kennels long before the dogs get there - because they ALSO get nighttime treats. Then it’s a mess trying to get them OUT of the kennels so I can close the door for the dogs without locking the cats up.
It took my new kitten about two days to learn the drill. And in fact just now, which is about the time I usually go to bed, I came into the room and glanced over at the kennels to see all five animals sitting in there looking patiently at me, wondering why I haven’t told them to go to bed (and given them their treats) yet.
I wantz a treet nao too.
Cat hats FTW! Works better with kittens/very small cats. Grown cats make better lap blankets.
Or a lovely fuzzy shrug.
Ever evacuated from a hurricane, THC?
Unless you’re an idiot, you leave BEFORE the storm hits. When there IS bright sunshine. That picture was taken on August 27, 2005. The storm hit on August 29.
How do I know? Because those are MY cats, part of a caravan of eight people and six cats who escaped that storm together. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough carriers, and by the time we realized that the storm was heading our way, the local stores had pretty much been cleaned out of such pet supplies. The laundry baskets were the only way to keep them relatively in place in the car for a 19-hour evacuation drive. My girlfriend and I talked to them and tried to keep them as calm as possible, but they weren’t happy. Nobody was happy.
If it makes you feel better, once we got to San Antonio (where we evacuated to), we did buy carriers for them for the eventual ride home. But if it’s a choice between leaving them behind and putting them in baskets? I think we made the right choice every damn time.
WOAH. Noz sees that comin.
nobody expects the spanish inquisition ;o)
Stend: Wil U marree meh?
