Poor cat, could show others when they would die, but couldn't show itself.

i.e - needs a swat to get off something when the water pistol isn't working or isn't practical

You think you can't swat a cat?

Not hard enough to kill it with a bedpan if you yourself are on death's door.

With a bedpan?

Now that is just cruel.

Darn, I didn't notice it was satire...

Funny, I read "psychotic cat found dead" ...

You all do realize that this is a fake story, right?

If this had actually happened, a family member of someone in the hospice could've done it, or someone who's mobile enough to catch the cat under a sheet and whack it.

Well damn, you can't even trust Snopes anymore. The dented bedpan should have clued my in. I don't know that I've ever actually seen a real bedpan that wasn't made of plastic.

Still, it doesn't read as so outrageous or unbelievable.

Have you ever seen or held a bedpan? It'd need to be traveling at about Mach 3.

On retrospect, I probably didn't notice it was satire because I don't get how it could be funny? Whatever.

yeah, for some reason I can joke about canabalism, but insert a dog or cat into the question and I get angry...

of course having an abusive stepdad kill your dog, or having neighborhood kids nearby who liked to torture the pet cats of others on the block (including setting baited traps)

No, it's not a particularly funny story at all. It comes across as more mean-spirited than humorous, but maybe it's just me.

I agree, but it was also believable. Satire is usually obvious by its off the wall nature...at least satire that I recognize.

The real question is if the cat saw it coming...

The story its self is not funny. The 'affect' is funny when you realise that you've been had and say 'D'oh!'

When I glanced through it initially, I thought, "'coroner's report'? Wha?"
