My Canary committed suicide!

Just as I was changing his water and food, he bolted out of his cage (which he has never done in the two years since I've had him.) Did he fly around the room? No! Did he head for a window? No! He made a beeline straight for the sleeping cat, who woke up just in time to open her mouth and have a canary snack.

• That's dreadful, OP.

• I can haz boid?

• Why do you have a cat and a canary in the same apartment?

• You're next, bitch.

  OP's Canary

• and then the cat fell off my deck into the backyard where two big huskies I'm dogwatching tore the poor thing to shreds!

  OP

• [quote]Why do you have a cat and a canary in the same apartment? I don't live in an a apartment. The birdcage is well out of reach for the cat.

• The same basic questions remains, R10/OP. Is it not taking a risk to have a cat and a canary within the same dwelling?

• I have had many Canaries with no issues. No more than having a cat and a dog. We also have fish.

• Train your cat, r11.

• This thread has me moist as a snack cake - everywhere.

• What was the cat supposed to do? The bird literally flew into her mouth!!

• I can't help but think of a Tweety Bird/Sylvester cartoon when reading this.

• My canary drowned headfirst in a glass of orange juice when I was 11. I've been in therapy since.

• OMG, I hope you don't have fish, too! And ferrets and hamsters and lizards. I can't imagine what might happen next!

• Simple, R19: stew.

• sounds like the bird needed a companion. i had a parrot that continually plucked its own feathers because it didn't have a playmate. next time consider buying two.

• [quote]next time consider buying two. Canaries are very territorial. The males will fight to the death.

• Fun to watch.

• gasp! well try a hetero pairing. one male and one female. birds can suffer from extreme loneliness and depression like anyone and he probably saw death as the better alternative.

• do you remember that chimp that went crazy?

• [quote] well try a hetero pairing. one male and one female. birds can suffer from extreme loneliness and depression like anyone and he probably saw death as the better alternative. When they aren't breeding, they fight. Canaries are solitary birds.

• I tawt I taw a puddy tat

• how solitary can canaries be? don't they ever fuck? fuck around? if they don't then this event was inevitable.

• You've got to stop playing those old disco records from the 70s.

• I always suspected Tweety was retarded.

• Face it - the canary just wasn't that into you.

• OP was obviously practicing his karaoke routine, driving the canary to this terrible act.

• Do you queens actually believe this troll? What a bunch of gullible Marys you are.

• whore! animals can get tired of life just like humans when their fundamental needs aren't met. bitch, you are the gullible Mary.

• Sufferin Succotash!

  Sylvester

• The Swedish canary cat sup Cartoon Life Guess kitty turned out to be bigger than Tweety thought when he finally decided "Fuck this vegan shit."

• I blame the violent video games and Hollywood.

  I%20am%20the%20NRA.

• This sounds like a cartoon. What bullshit! Is your cat the one who fell off the railing and got killed by the two visiting dogs? I smell a troll. Stop insulting our intelligence!!

• R4 made me laugh.

• R6, too!

• How people keep birds in cages is beyond me. If you loved birds you'd never have them as a pet. It is cruel to cage them. Sorry, but it is true.

  Don't keep birds in cages people, it IS cruel.

• Aww luv, such a nice 'lil canary spices up a pie!

  Mrs. Lovett

• R42 is enough of an idiot not to recognize that this thread is all about what happens when a bird is NOT in a cage. Fishy.

• R44 is clearly enough of an idiot not to recognise that the bird HAD lived its life in a cage, and THAT was the point of my post, the cruelty of that life for birds. You dumbass!

  Get a clue!

• Obviously, he was sick of you and prefer to be eaten by a cat that keep around seeing your face.

• Ummm...people, I just wanted to remind you that you are responding to a dead canary thread and not something about a new world war.

• I know why the caged bird flies straight to the cat.

• Suicide by Cat!

• Can anyone blame the canary?

• LOL! Poor birdie!

• Ummmm..... R47 decided she was tired of holding on to that post like a retained bowel movement and finally crapped it out here, where it is irrelevant and doesn't refer to the tone of the posts here at all. Ummmmm, R47: One word. Metamucil.

  Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

• Was Brandon anywhere nearby, OP?

• What a catastrophe; I'd be catatonic with grief. Call your District Cattorney.

• OP sounds like it's survival of the fittest in your household. But clearly the cat is at the top of the food chain. Sleep with one eye open my friend. P.s. The poor bird committed suicide because t lived every day in fear and anxiety.
