Sad and a little creepy all at once.
Fortunate for me though where I live my pets don't need a leash or collar and are allowed to roam where ever they want. I may put a harness on one of the horses when I let them out to mow the lawn but that's about it.

Bit of a wtf moment for me too.
I tried it on my little cat once. Several scars later I decided it's not worth it for some animals.

Originally by: Crumplecorn LOL at people thinking the toilet flushing suicide cat is a true story.
At least a part of this is drawn from the cat in Meet the Parents.
Also, only strange people put cats on leads, it is contrary to their nature. Cats are not the pet they are looking for.
If it was in a movie it can't be real!

Correction: If it was in a movie and then appeared in a melodramatic hammed up post in the EVE-O Fora, then it can't be real.
I see. So if I make a hammed up post stating that I put a blower on a 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe and then wrecked it then it wouldn't be true because it was in a movie once?
I should probably write it in basic english as well to add to the effect.

While I find the part about the CPR and other medical procedures a bit far strung it is still believable because I know they have classes for that crap and people can actually be that nutty.
I know cats can be trained to use the toilet as well although the fetch is bit far flung as cats don't tend to act all simple minded like dogs. But that's not to say you still can't do it.
Admittedly this came out directly after TX's dead hamster post which could be part of the reason for the act but it could also be that the guy saw the TX post and wanted to post his own. I also noticed you lol'd in the TX post which leads me to believe that you probably think that one is fake also.
I can also note that the wording in a way tells me that english is not his native language which may lead one to think it is fake.
Unfortunately everything posted on the internet is fake in todays world even if it is real because someone says it is fake, therefore it must be. Some people think this is real and it may very well be even as far fetched as it is, and some will believe it is a troll.

Originally by: Crumplecorn All accepted. Consider this though. While this story is unlikely in and of itself, how likely is it that it actually happened
I'd say 50-50 for any real/fake video, blog, or whatever. Unless he posts creepy pics of a now post mortum cat and shows crime scene evidence we can only speculate. Most of the time it's up to the reader and what they believe. Some don't believe shit, then theres shining.
Originally by: Crumplecorn , and that the person it actually happened to is an EVE player (unlikely)
I don't understand this part personaly. I mean the guys gotta have an acount to post here in the first place which would make him an eve player (unless this is like a little brother who got a hold of the password.)
I personally own a dog, 2 cats, and 7 horses and any number of strange things can happen to them. Hell in the last 2 years alone the dog has been hit by a car, eaten a concentrated bar of rat poison, dug up and killed a rock chuck, been bitten by multiple snakes, tried jumping from the jeep at 50 mph, and skunked 3 times.
My older cat has gone through his 9 lives and was forced to mug other cats of their lives. One instance was my dad and I driving to CJ Strike one day for some fishing. Turns out the cat had climbed into the boat while we were prepping. We were almost to the reservoir when he decided to leap from the bow of the boat onto the spare tire of the trooper while on the highway. We stopped rather quickly, grabbed him, took him the rest of the way and threw him back in the boat for a day of fishing. I ask you do you think it's fake or not.
Originally by: Crumplecorn , and is an EVE player who posts on the forums (even more unlikely)
Eve players posting on Eve forums. Madness I tell you. Honestly though, I haven't looked at his post history yet so I don't know what his mentallity is like. Could be every post is a pathetic troll post like Fabians or maybe it was some random thing. Guess I should check on that.
Originally by: Crumplecorn , and one who happens to post it in a way that is fakeish (what), just after another similar serious post (come on...)?
Fake for some, real for others. As I said, it's up to the reader to decide as every video, blog, and 'other' item I see on the internet has at least one person yelling fake.
As for similiar posts well that's common for OOPE. I see favorite video games, favorite movies, favorite music, favorite cars, Computer part threads galore, US hate threads a plenty. Similiar is common in OOPE.
A better example would be GE. How many nerfs whine threads do they have currently that sounds similiar?

I didn't even post in that thread.
My bad, I mixed you up with someone else. I'm tired atm, got to work insanely (in my case) early.

Of all the people in the world this could happen to, the EVE players in that group are probably a tiny minority. Out of those, the ones who actually post on the forums are even fewer, and so on.
The percentage may be small but theres still a chance.

Not so many 'strange pet in a strange death' posts though.
True but like I said maybe he saw TX's post and decided to write one himself. We've seen cases where one post turns into a week long meme.
I've heard acounts myself of dogs hanging themselves but never a cat.
I did a check into his post history though and it looks like he's a GD regular who just browsed through OOPE one day and decided to make a off the wall post.
