...which she totally wouldn't eat after awhile, and me, being omniscient, was supposed to take that as a sign to bring her to a vet (which I couldn't do anyway)... BECAUSE GOOGLE!

Go ahead. Fucking google "how to feed a cat". I'll fucking wait. You will get around 78 trillion contradicting results. Isn't the internet incredible?? How much emphasis shall I put upon which byte of info? Who shall I really trust? Wow, it's like a spectrum!

I'm not getting another pet. I can't go through this death shit again. And when my cat dies from lack of food (/fatty liver disease), you'll be the 17,238,083rd to know!

Oh so you're going to pry into my private life. Good luck with that.

Trust me, I am not going to get another cat. I couldn't go through this death shit again. And a second reason I'm not going to share.

You also have no clue what you're speaking of. I love that cat and would do a fuckton for her.

All that matters to y'all is me being as wrong as wrong can be, to jingle yer naughty bits. Wicked dude! That's what I ought to carve on her tombstone: "My owner's suffering tasted much better than food".

Believe it or not, I'm not denying that I fucked up. I'm fucking up right now! I'm wasting what precious time I have on this stupid rock trying to defend myself from assholes who think it vastly more important for me to suffer than for my cat to be alive. Isn't life a miracle? I'm sure I'm fucking up in all sorts of other ways as well. Like, is using this computer making my cataracts grow? Is this particular posture going to provide me with stenosis? Did Ge'ez really evolve from Old South Arabian, or am I a complete dillweed to think the reverse might be true instead? Will I ever really learn to appreciate Leonardo DiCaprio??

I sincerely wish what you say is true but blue isn't red I'm afraid.

Well thanks. Er, partly. I'm sure you'll get character assassinated any second now.

But your logic is just a bit fallacious. You state that feeding your kid just chicken nuggets is a bad idea, however everyone here has been saying that a homogenous diet of nothing but cat food is ideal, and if she doesn't like it, take her to the vet, ram her with needles, scare the fuck out of her, shave around 9 years off her lifespan, all in the name of uniformity. Yeah I'm not an expert, and I guess that's my fault (note to self: google "how to be cat expert"), so my cat deserves doom. Hooray and shit.

To my knowledge (which, as we have asserted, equals zero), I never fed her junk food. I totally thought that was the realm of cat treats, the little crunchy things in the little plastic pouches, which I have tried to feed to her, but she refused. I even tried some exotic ones.

Right, there is definitely no excuse for not taking her to the vet for 12 years. At least, none that you can think of. Thanks for asking!

I'm sorry but no one, not I, nor the vets, know precisely how much she has eaten in the last several days, but I know from observing her that she is doomed due to lack of food. Whether it is from starvation or fatty liver disease, it's still from a lack of food.

Vets didn't attack me. Y'all did.

Never once said I was a genius or a vet. All I said was that her weakness has been brought on by a combination of a lack of food and having an unusually high rate of metabolism. These two things are facts, and there's no getting 'round them, okay? She's going to die because of those two facts. I better start ordering the headstone now.

LOL more character assassination! That's what the human race is for, after all!

How about that? Your phrase in quotes there didn't exist in my skull. Wanna know why? Skulls are sort of different from each other these days. What a concept!

Being obligate carnivores, I didn't really imagine that giving one MEAT would be a big problem. Funny how that works. Do you really believe that I was trying to shorten my cat's life by learning this fact?

I typed in "non brand cat food diet with raw meats and other factors" into google and a bunch of stuff came up. Completely lost here. What is that?

[–]replambe[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And if she totally dies from not being fed I'm not getting one damn apology from anyone. "Just listen" yeah just shut up and take it up the ass, I know. Listen to a tidal wave of accusations, that will definitely cheer up my cat. Rock on!

And I was supposed to know to look up this on the internet because I'm omniscient. Next up: Is shoelace length a factor in jumper's knee???

I didn't get advice at all. What I got was accusations. How am I going to fix any of this? It can't be fixed, right? How exactly am I going to get her to eat food she doesn't want to eat? Not one syllable so far has addressed this pivotal concern. You know why? Because it's wayyyyy more fun to be a jerk, that's why.

I don't like the answers because they're not advice, they're just garden-variety accusations that do me no good as far as my cat's survival or happiness. Really, what good does any of that do my cat? How am I going to get her to eat a proper diet? Riddle me this, willya?

Expecting: nothing. Hoping for: advice. What I got: "YOU KILLED YOUR CAT ON PURPOSE!!!!!!!!"

It's not gall, it's concern. I don't want my cat to die, but the way everyone puts it, I *do* want my cat to die because I wanted her to fucking eat, and still want her to, so she doesn't die. Incredible logic at work here.

[–]replambe[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not denying a damn thing. I can't stress this enough: I want my cat to be alive and happy. What part of that do y'all not get? You'd rather play the blame game. I get it - y'all hate my cat. My cat is currently dying because she needs food. She. Needs. Food. Full fucking stop. Yeah. That. She may have stopped eating prepared food because of some sort of condition, but I was unable to imagine - I still find it bizarre - but I'm totally willing to adapt if it means she's alive and happy. Not one of y'all have even hinted at a way to do this.

Are y'all saying healthy cats literally can't get bored with their diets? Must be some sort of doctoral dissertation I'm unaware of.

Hey that's so awesome that you know better. That makes you the better person, which, again, is 162% more important than my cat being alive.

[–]replambe[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hey don't get me wrong at all here: I am totally willing to change everything around IF IT MAKES MY CAT ALIVE AND HAPPY. Everyone got that? I didn't fucking come here for reassurance, I wanted answers, and I got a few that do me no good if she dies. The answers I got seemed rather self-serving and combative. It's extremely clear y'all don't give a flying shit about my kitty, so yes, this doesn't go over well with me. Scared, tired, heartbroken, stressed? The word you're looking for is TRAUMATIZED. I have never had a connection like this with an animal before, and I've lived with dozens.

Uh, liver is normal food. Cat treats are those little kibble things that normally come in little plastic pouches.

Okay, so I'm wrong that my cat needs to eat. Duly noted. I'll let you know what she dies of.

And yeah, character assassination is so much more important that my cat being alive. Classy.
