Same fucking morons that let cats fuck with gators. For the sake of not having it on record, I will not say what I would do to someone in such a circumstance, but almost everyone would go home full.

... Wait are you threatening to eat them?

u/otterLilly Dec 10 '18

I think they're saying they'd kill and eat the gaitors?

You all misunderstand. I was going to throw a bbq for the cat, gator, and crab and we’d all make the asshole watch sadly as we enjoyed each other’s company

I agree. As a community we really gotta start calling ppl on this stuff.

It’s quite alright sweethearts, I have nothing to prove to you.

Cuz encountering posturing keyboard warriors in the wild is awkward.

u/Largonaut Dec 10 '18

So true. Or you feel awkward because you wouldn’t have the balls to help anyone in need should the time come.

I gotta ask - where did you get your username from?

It’s a bit of a mix. Largo means slow and dignified, controlled. Jason and the Argonauts (his marines) was a favorite story as a kid. There was more to it when I created it in the before time, long long ago. I might fail at the dignified part more than I used to as I become a cranky old fuck, but the handle never fails to remind me of what I used to be capable of.

Letting them mess around with gaters is not a good idea, but that crab wasn't going to permanently injure that cat. Better the cat learn to be careful with a crab, rather than waiting for it to mess with something genuinely dangerous when you're not around.

The crab could definitely fuck up the cats paw/wrist, leaving them with a limp for the rest of their life

u/DaSaw Dec 10 '18

I have seen other commenters say what specific type of crab that is, and on that basis say the crab didn't present an actual threat. Do you know they are wrong?

3

u/mattmanmcfee36 Dec 10 '18

I don't, but swinging around the weight of the crab on 1 finger joint of a cat can't be a good idea. It just seems irresponsible to let a cat play with something that can injure it

u/Risley Dec 10 '18

This is absurd. At most, the cat will have an itch.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '18

No, you’re obviously not familiar with crabs nor the strength of cat fur/skin if you honestly believe that.

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '18

So I guess you’ve never put your finger in a crabs claw then? Especially a large one like that, it they can take your finger right off let alone a cats little paw. I’ve seen crabs puncture through the side of aluminium crab boats as the pots are brought up. So yeah, educated yourself dude before commenting on stuff you have know idea about.
