Lethal injection

Hey buddy. Listen please don't kill the cat. You would never live with yourself. Just cuddle with the cat. Make it feel good. Give it some pain killers. Don't kill it yourself.

Maybe you could take it to a local Animal Shelter? They would probably take care of it for 7 days, and than... you know what I mean. ;o:

We also need to pay 70 bucks to leave it at a shelter. And they take your info and charge you for the injection if they have to keep it.

Oh sorry, didn't know that. Maybe you know someone where it wouldn't affect them nearly as badly to put the cat down? Like a relative or friend?

Yeah don't kill the cat, just let it suffer and die a slow, agonizing death like this moron suggests. Don't worry, cuddling it makes all the pain and suffering go away.
Honestly, maybe I should cut off your arms and rub salt in the wound and see if cuddling you makes you feel any damn better.


If the cat is already suffering, do you really need to put a huge emphasis on painkillers before putting it down yourself? It might just be more sensible to let the poor thing RIP as soon as possible.
I'm speaking from pure ignorance here since I have no idea what a legal injection feels like, obviously.

I proposed that idea, but my parents don't want to burden someone else with that. I also think they are kinda embarrassed of said financial situation.

That's strange; places like Anti-Cruelty you can drop off pets anonymously and not pay anything for its upkeep.

The place I have available around me don't quite work that way sadly.

I feel really bad for you and the cat...I guess just give it the injection so it won't have to suffer anymore. Any suffering that would have been eased by painkillers will have been its last anyways, so I commend you on your goodness on taking care of this matter.

get them to take it to the pound
they will see if its sick and put it down humanely
or call one of the many http://www.albertaspca.org/ or similar to help

Here, we have what is called "Le berger blanc", where you go to look for lost animals, give up an animal, euthanize an animal and pick up an animal. All of these services have fees which my parents are unwilling to pay. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Oddly enough, a friend of mine is sitting with their dying rat as we speak. I'd advise staying with it but lethal injection does seem to be humane.. I'm not good with issues like this.

This is true in the United States. You can drop off strays or lost pets at what we call now the Humane Society. People go there looking for their lost pets and even to adopt a new pet. It might be different for our Canadian buddies.

maybe say you found a stray cat

they could take it in , see its sick and put it down

This post nearly made me sick to my stomach. I'm very close to my animals and if I couldn't afford to take any of them to the vet I would sell all my stuff if I had to. Can you imagine the horrible death your cat might suffer with that mix of crap your trying to shove in him? You're talking about being humane for the cat , that's even worse.

Google how to make chloroform, maybe? [wait, that's what Casey Anthony allagedly did... uh...] I think you could do it when the cat is asleep, either naturally or induced [do sleeping pills work on cats?]. Then again, if it's sleeping a natural sleep and you stick a syringe into it, it could wake up, so...

I'm not one to get into a euthanasia debate [spent too much time in and out of hospitals too see and experience enough suffering to understand both sides of the issue]. Most of the time, I think it should be a thing based on choice, but then a cat can't really choose. In this case, since you and your parents agree that it's the best possible course of action, I guess that's fine.

I'm sorry for your cat. He might not have been with you long, but your concern shows you formed a bond.


@thegame07 - Isn't that the reason he wants to sedate the cat in the first place?

The "mix of crap as you call it is KCl. It is widely used in lethal injections and will put the cat to death in a matter of seconds. I'm trying to avoid whatever pain he may feel by using a sedative or some kind of analgesic. It's very similar to what a vet would do and the very injection used by the US when enacting the death penalty. I know what dose is lethal and precisely calculated how much to give him using his weight. I'm doing this because my parents don't want to pay to get it done and seem to kinda neglect to whole thing. I need to take matters into my own hands and this is the easiest solution for me.

[quote name='Pyrmon' post='3838130' date='Aug 17 2011, 06:37 AM']We have this cat we found outside a few months ago. He wasn't in such a good shape but he seemed to get better after we took him in. But now he is obviously very sick and in pain. We have to put him out. There's no other option. That's a fact. But our financial situation does not allow for a lethal injection by the vet, which costs about a 100 bucks here. My parents can't really pay for it and they don't care enough to make it a priority to pay, with the risk of having to declare personal bankruptcy a little too close. But the cat is suffering and I can't sit here and do nothing. So I decided I would make the injection myself. I bought these and decided to induce extreme Hyperkalemia by injecting a lethal dose of potassium chloride(KCl), which is what's used to give the death penalty in the US. It seems to be the most humane and clean way to do it. I would like to sedate him or give him a powerful painkiller before the injection, but I don't seem to have the necessary resources to get my hands on some. If you would know about one that is easily available, it would mean a lot. Otherwise, it just makes me feel a little better to talk about it.[/quote]

I hope this is a (not funny) joke otherwise that's the most stupid thing I've read in years (and you are really a big idiot). You don't even know what kind of sick your cat has but you decided that "he must die". And you want to kill him by yourself (it's worldwide known that you are a famous doctor right? ...).

For God's sake give the poor cat to a person who really loves animals (not you)! There are many vet *with heart* who can take care of your cat for free, you just need to find them. Eventually they can choose to kill your cat if really very very sick and there's nothing to do anymore but it's only *UP TO THEM* to decide if that's the case or not. Or just find a cat lover who can take your cat and try to cure him. What you are going to do is not only very cruel but also very illegal (you are not a doctor and you are using a mix of shit that you bought and that you don't even know how that will work. Probably it will be more painful than "natural death"). Next time don't take cats in street if you can't afford keeping them. Did I already say that you are a big idiot?

P.S. Too bad I don't have your home address or I would go right now to a police station.
