We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
So much love for their cat. I wonder if they ever got it back.
Um...were they saving it for later?
WHAT?! Hahaha. This is seriously the weirdest, funniest thing ever. The question is, why do they want the dead cat back? To bury it?
whats teh arrow pointing to? an additional note perhaps? or mayb it was marking the spot of kitty's demise
this is the strangest thing i have ever seen on Found. now i'm worried about finding a dead cat in anything barrels. this may even give me nightmares.
That's really funny. When I was home for Christmas, I saw a sign up at the corner that said, "JOGGER who found a DEAD CAT, please return to (address)". I wanted to take it down, but I was afraid that these people wouldn't get their dead cat back and the deceased would become a cat ghost or something.
One man's dead cat is another's candlelight dinner?
Wouldn't the thieves have seen the cat in the barrel? Gross!
Hahahah. I would love to be a fly on the wall when they open the barrel and see a dead cat. This is a great find.....in more ways than one. :-)
OH my goodness! That's horrible! hahaha!
Return which one?
The cat or the barrel?
Who would put their deceased pet in a barrel?...
I wonder if the cat was returned and if it was returned with the barrel...
I once got a used tire from a friend and was grossed out to find a dead & rotting cat (or maybe it was a skunk? it was very decomposed) inside. I thought it was a mean joke, they claimed they didn't even notice the dead animal inside and didn't give me that tire on purpose!
I probably shouldn't be laughing right now... but that's kind of funny
i hope they got their cat back...
Half Barrels in some areas refer to a pot that people grow things like herbs or small flowers in.
I read this as follows: the people had a cat who they buried in their half-barrel which now has flowers growing in it. Someone stole their half-barrel for whatever reason, not knowing that the person had buried their cat there (perhaps it was the cat's favorite sunning spot). The person who wrote the note is attached to the cat, not the barrel, and they just want their cat back.
Thats so funny....poor people :S
The other side of the notes says:
"we'd really like to keep Nancy"
I walk a lot (and have lost 60 pounds doing so...) and this is one of the best notes I've found.
It definitely conjures many fascinating images!
One of several down-sides of the portable burial site.
I think Ginger is correct. Pretty sure this isn't some Dahmer-esque situation where they were storing Fluffy for, er, "later use" or anything. At least, that's what I am telling myself. Is Nancy the name of the cat, tho?! The thing probably killed itself....
Poor kitty.
And that's why I keep my kitty's ashes in a nice urn in my living room window where she liked to sun herself. Those poor people!
Ewwww! Nasty!
This had me lauging out LOUD!
Thanks for the great find!
The cat's name was Nancy???!!! Hahahaha! My friend has a scraggly cat named Joan, maybe they were sisters.
Do they really expect someone to bring back their cat's carcass?
Oh...how upsetting! =[
this is nice, i live in long beach too :)
I think dead cat is a code!!!!!!!
LOL! I think I'd be glad to get rid of a rotting corpse. What do they do, crack it open every once in a while and pet the thing? It's dead. Let it go...
(Portable burial site! LOL!)
I agree with felicity, I think "Dead Cat" might be a local euphamism for "crack pipe"
Like Ginger's explanation a lot.
I laughed quite loud and hard when I first read this....now I feel horrible.
I need to go home and give my cat lots of love now.
maybe by "half barrel", they meant those half barrels they use to plant flowers and such in. Strange fertilizer for the flowers...!
Gross!
Note to self: bury cat instead of store it.
:-)
I just laughed... a lot.
"Hey, I have an idea. Let's take the corpse of our cat and put it in the barrell."
"Hey, I have an idea. Let's take this barrell that smells like rotten cat."
Meow!
That's what you get for stealing somebody else's barrel.
Ginger may be on to something -- I bet that's a lot more effective than Miracle Grow.
"I don't wanna be buried in a Pet Semetary..."
"I don't wanna be buried in a Pet Semetary..."
oooh-kay Ginger, thank you for explaining that because i was severely confused, but now it all makes sense. It was like a little kitty-tomb. wow.
I showed this to one of my friends and we both imagined a beer keg and then started trying to figure out how one even gets a dead cat inside. Not to mention why.
So now we know if the cat is alive or dead!
I love probability theory!
It was probably the ashes of their dead cat. I know out here ALOT of people get their animals creamated, and keep the remains. Just my thought.
Ramone, you win the award for Best Comment Ever. Come collect your blue ribbon.
I think this one is the BEST. by far my favorite. ha ha ha,
the more I look at it, the better it gets
One of the BEST examples of Schadenfreude I've EVER seen!
Oh jeeze.I'd be horrified to find a dead cat.
Oh God a cat called Joan is probably the funniest thing i've ever heard. (The Joan who may or may not be Nancy's sister)
There is a man that lives out on my boyfriend's road that leaves giant, wooden signs for people to read as they drive by. Sometimes he'll have things sitting out for free, and the sign will say so. Or there's a lady down the road named Lizzy who sells sweet corn, and he advertises for her also. During one of his giveaways, someone took a car ramp. He had a wooden sign out for three weeks asking someone to please return it, and I thought no one ever would. One day, as I drove past, there was a new sign up that said, "THANK YOU!". I don't know why, but it pleased me so much that whoever took his car ramp unknowing it wasn't for free, gave it back.
I bet they cremated the cat and put the ashes in a flower pot, which someone stole. Ashes of any kind make really good fertilizer, which is why places with regularly erupting volcanoes are so verdant.
