Beer or Cat?

[CBR250]

So...My Buddy calls to tell me he has to drive 1.5 hours back to a cabin his family stayed at to get their cat that disappeared right before they left 2 days earlier. I mentioned I have a store bought IPA Odell Brewing beer waiting for him, just a quick 10 Min. He was bumming and said he didn't have time...........................My response? .........Dude, I'd rather have a nice beer in hand than a lost cat in the bush!

My question.....who agrees?

 

[rdneckbrew]

Amen to that! One beer in the hand is way better than even two lost cats in the bush.

Women and cats are worth chasing. You can always make beer when you get back.

Meh, that's opinion for argument...

A good woman and a good Mouser of a cat? Yes chase every time
A PITA woman and a lazy cat? Gimme that beer.

And there is always time for beer.

Im lovin u guys.....cracking up!.....all i can say is thats a deep question for my simple mind!

 

[djt17]

Really? Beer or Cat; this isn't even close. Cats can survive a long time by themselves, most of them prefer it that way. But a beer, if I am not there someone else will drink it!

But if he doesn't find that cat, he won't be getting any p^$$y!

 

[SharonaZamboni]

Exactly!
But...did they take their cat on vacation??

 

[unionrdr]

From the 1st line of the opening statement yes. Or he wouldn't be going back for it. When we go on trips or vacations as a family,the pets go to the vet for boarding,shots,flea dips,etc while we're gone. Especially cats. They like to wander too much. But def go back for the family pet. Not all cats are hunters.
It's a learned behavior,not insinctive. We've had kittens that I had to teach to hunt with stuffed life like mice. Kinda funny when he brings the mouse back to show us. Looks at me like "you wanted me to catch this thing. Now what??"...

Stop at friends house for a couple hours and have a few beers, get home and tell wife and kids the cat never came back.


Who the hell takes a cat on vacation with them??? The most unmanageable creatures on this earth and you take it to a completely foreign location because somehow you think the cat is going to enjoy it??

Tell your friend to take a shovel with him, it will save him the future headaches.

Our cats bring their catches home. I think they want to show off. But we'll often find half eaten rodents in the yard.

But I've never considered taking a cat on vacation.

The very reason I own a cat is because he can be left for long periods of time on his own.
Put out enough food, water and litter I he'd be fine for a month.

You will be fine until the Animal Cops show up at your door for abandoning your cat!!

My thoughts exactly. Yes, he took his cat and dog on vacation! Yes, he still is a friend even though I wonder about his priorities. Yes, his sex life might have been slowed some leaving the cat another day, another factor to consider!

Personally having a beer has typically led me to finding *****, and I know many who have trouble finding it at all without beer or two in them.

Boss Bailey, retired racing greyhound, votes for the cat.

BTW, my cat likes to hang around while I brew, but after one beer he's pretty much worthless.

Now that is a cat worth having around!

I agree with others who are asking why they brought the cat to begin with, but also why did he wait 2 days to go back for it??

In the words of Billy Madison:
"Whoa whoa whoa Miss Lippy...That little boy's gotta think 'You got a pet. You got a responsibility.' If your dog [or cat] gets lost you don't look for an hour then call it quits [or wait for two days to start looking]. You get your a$$ out there and you find that fooking dog [or cat]."

My cat emptied one of my kegs all over the dining room floor while I was at work one day.

Beer or cat? Guess which one is now buried in the back yard.....

 

[00radio]

I'm still confused about taking a cat on vacation. I get the dog. Dogs travel well. But like it was said, the great thing about a cat is that you can leave it alone for a few days and it'll be fine (if a bit angry when you show back up).

Sounds like your cat can drink a lot more than mine!

The best thing about cats is not having one.

Alright, I really don't know why he took his cat. He has younger children that probably talked him into it. Why did he wait two days? I have no idea but after two days he couldn't stop over for a nice cold one before he went?

Update: He did find the cat and I had his beer!
