Stop the trains, there are kittens on the loose!

[Greed and Death]

That's beautiful. I am now a Yankees fan for the next three seconds

Oh God, don't go to the darkside. Let's go Mets!

The M in Mets is for Masochist.
At least your not an Islanders fan.

"I like this house. You can still live here, if you must."

That's why cats are awesome lol

[Katganistan]

Well OK the Seattle Times is wrong.



If they have a free shuttle, why do they bother running trains?

Oh, you mean free to passengers. Not free to the operator.

When you get off the train at the station before the stop with the problem there are a whole batch of angry MTA workers that are yelling service is suspended take the shuttle below and handing out little tickets. (If you want I will post a photo of one when I'm home). Since you already paid your fare, you are entitled to the full ride. You can only get on the shuttle w these tickets and they are only given out by the usually angry MTA employees inside the station

I might call them 'harried' more than angry.
How many times can you hear, "Is this the Q train?" before wanting to kill yourself?

[AiliailiA]

Kat, how could I forget the internet tough guys!

What? Not sharing the sentimental attachment to pet cats makes someone an "internet tough guy"?

[Vorshka]

You do?
What's the point of a shelter then?

Get those buggers off the street! They're obstructing traffic, and making it impossible for the common man to drive to the megamall!

[Great Nepal]

Doesn't NYC have equivalent of rail replacement service anyway?
I mean, surely this didn't require closing down of entire NYC subway unless the kitten in question was product of strange breeding between horse and cat and using rail replacement service (if available) would cause delays of couple of minutes and what better excuse than "I am late to save a kitten"...

It wasn't the whole subway just the last few stops on 2 lines.

Awesome, so commuters 10-15 minutes even assuming worst traffic conditions. I am sure no one died because of it.

Bleah, no hockey, basketball, or football for me.

Cyclones (Mets' farm team) are fun and about fifteen minutes train ride -- On the B and Q, lol -- from my house.

No, advocating the idea that someone's kittens should be run over by a train so that you don't have to take a bus 4 stops does

If it were any other animal I would disagree with you. And he would be right.
But kittens are more deserving than other beasts, or for that matter small children.

[Katganistan]

Ohhhh, I'm so edgy -- I advocate slaughtering kittens!!!

[Imperializt Russia]

You do?
What's the point of a shelter then?

Think of a city with over 8 million residents.There are too damned many irresponsible people who don't spay/neuter, or who get pets without the clear idea of how much work is involved. They often buy from pet stores rather than adopt to begin with. They often abandon them on the street rather than bring them to a shelter or a no-kill shelter. With the huge numbers of animals coming into city shelters, they often have a week, if not days, to get adopted or put down because there's not enough room or resources to keep them.

It's a horrid thing, and I strongly encourage people to spay/neuter and to adopt pets rather than buy them, for just this reason.

I frankly find it horrifying that in America places have to advertise as being no-kill.

Pretty sure there is no existing animal shelter in the UK today that kills without good medical reason.

[Katganistan]

Pretty sure that there are far more strays in the US than in the UK.

Not excusing it, but there you are.

[Blackhelm Confederacy]

Kat now you've peaked my curiosity, where are you? Lol I'm in Rockaway

[Blekksprutia]

I adopted my two cats from Staten Island. They were strays, living in an alley.

I find it horrible that people breed some cats and then simply throw away others.

I've never gotten an animal that wasn't a rescue. I don't believe it's moral to buy an animal from a breeder when there are hundreds of thousands of animals who're at risk of death because we can't care for them in shelters.

Exactly.

No comment, Kat.

I got my Kat when she walked in the door and refused to leave.

"I like this house. You can still live here, if you must."

Aww :3
Then 'twas meant to be. I like how cats can make humans their slaves for life by being furry :3

[Ethel mermania]

Be serious. Service disruptions on the B and Q are par for the course.

Fact.

HEY

be thankful you aint on the G

[Esternial]

I assume you mean per capita or something.

Because otherwise that would go without saying.

I don't think you really need to point out that they're angry MTA workers, I think the understanding is that you have to have your anus clenched tighter than a croc's jaw to work there.

what am i chopped liver? we saved the kittens whats with the hate?

I didn't mean to insult you, friend.

I only meant it because of the stereotype of grumpy MTA workers.

I mean, us food workers aren't much better. If there's an issue you won't stop hearing about it until a week after it's over. But you do that, I'd like to hear how they got there and such.

O wow really! Small world eh?!

[Indira]

Good for them.

[Shamhnan Insir]

Sure they got them all? This isn't going to turn into another urban legend like the flushed crocs is it? In years to come, gargantuan cats will haunt the service tunnels, having survived on a diet of rats, rubbish and the homeless...
