That's the funniest thing I've seen this year. God! I'm still laughing. The person obviously has a warped sense of humour...yes there's more than one of us.

OK if this is a joke is one sick one, if you are an animal lover you'd know the only reason the animal is crappy and acts badly is becaue of the crappy owner!!, Sick lets hope its a joke

One big animal lover! animals do not deserve owners like this!

I don't see the funny side to this AT ALL and yes i understand there are people out there with warped senses of humour - even i can see humour where others don't - this is definitely not one of those occasions.

Labelling him an 'ugly grey thing' is just disgraceful. Poor animal deserves better and hopefully will have ended up in a nice loving home where the owner will treat him respectfully.

Thanks to all of you who have posted responses and i realise everyone is entitled to their opinions.

i'm an animal lover too, especially of cats, but can't you see this is only a joke?
if it was real i would personally purchase the cat myself cos i know i could look after it
if you cared so much and thought it was real then why didn't you try and contact the owner and give the cat a better life?
can you not see the hypocrisy?
as for the joke being sick - get a life

If you were a real animal lover, you wouldn’t think people should own animals, rather you'd believe we should be their carers. : Exclamation

Hi guys,

Please remember, no personal attacks through the forums. If you need to check the Community rules they can be found at: http://forum.gumtree.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=9

And most notably please refer to the first rule:

1. Keep it friendly – this is the golden rule. It means no flaming, trolling or ridiculing of members. While differences of opinion and banter are a part of everyday forum life, insults and any other kind of unfriendly behaviour are not acceptable.

Thanks!
