I feel for you. My cat went missing tonight.

Oh shit. I took a cat from the litter my sisters cat had. Named him ‘The Dude’. He was my little buddy. Started working out of town, so I asked if my sister could take care of him. We were driving down to Chicago so I got to see him. He was happy. I picked him up and he gave me some purrs and rubbed his face on mine then had to take off again. Got a text when we were in Chicago, The Dude had been run over. I miss him. Just happy the last time I got to see him he was so happy and running around killing small furry things. Forgot how bad it sucks to lose a pet. Miss you dude.
As I mentioned before I lost a dog once, and I actually had an idea about writing a book, sort of a Taken type of book where someone steals some guy’s dog but the guy tracks down the person who took his dog.
I’d sort of forgotten about that till now.
I mean a guy like Professor X coming after the bad guy would be quite the story. I might, for humor’s sake, make him tracking down his missing Maltese…that’s the breed that I have.
I just want to say I’m not making light of the situation…I really thought about this a few years ago.

Ehehehe…
I imagine Prof X on the phone to his neighbour: ‘Listen bitch, I know who you are, I know what you’ve done but I don’t know what you want. If you’re looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career of dentistry. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my pup go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will hunt you down, I will find you, and I will make sure your ass begs me for mercy. Bitch.’
The neighbour sniggers and then says : ‘good luck.’ Then she hangs up.

After 4 hours of me frantically searching the apartment complex (and giving up), he came back on his own, freezing cold and acting pretty dejected.
That’s such a panicky feeling, because I had no idea. Everything from “what if he ran to the highway” to “what if he’s hiding under someone’s car and they drive away” to “what if he hops in a dumpster and then doesn’t get out in time”.
Sorry for your loss, prof x. Didn’t mean to hijack.

And his “very particular set of skills” makes me think of the dentist scene in Marathon Man with Prof X as Lawrence Olivier…“Is it safe?”

I’m sorry, Nards, but I never heard of Marathon Man. It was made over a decade before I was born, so… I know The Running Man though…

Sorry, D.
The only consolation for you is that I’ll inevitably feel the same some day, ehehehe.

Ah yes we all age, some better than others.
At least men can now get TRT without problems.

In high school, my girlfriend’s cat (unbeknownst to us) had jumped up under my car to keep warm up around the engine block.
When GF and I got into the car to go out, I started the car only to hear a loud BANG!! A second later we saw her cat run away from the vehicle with its tail missing!

Thanks for posting this. Makes so much sense now, lol.
I’m intrigued now. That looks like a rather good movie.
I’ll see if I can get this on Netflix.

I remember it being very good; I haven’t seen it in 20 years.
I still remember a part from the beginning quite vividly…Roy Scheider is attacked by a man from behind with a garotte and manages to get a hand up in font of his throat just in time but the garotte cuts into his palm and blood shoots out…really made me cringe.

EXCELLENT MOVIE.
One of those films that is so harrowing, that by the end spolier when things turn around, you practically jump up in your seat with a “FUCK YEAH” moment.

There are things that stuck in your mind forever.
I remember seeing First Blood, at maybe 8 yo, and that scene where Sly is sewing his wound shut intrigued me to no end. That was cringe worthy and yet, badass. I wanted to be like Rambo. I wanted to stitch my wounds with needles and feel no pain.
I actually bought it on DVD last month but haven’t watched it yet.
I think I’m still scared about the Roy Scheider’s hand part.

I think for sure that gory/bloody things stick in kid’s heads easily.
For example, I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the theater in 1980 at age 7.
I’ve of course seen the movie about 30 times by now, but I still remember the first time I saw it…but only two things…Han slicing open the Tauntaun and its blueish guts spilling out and when you can see Darth Vader’s head when he’s sitting in his little chamber thingy with his mask off…at the time I thought it was his brain you could see but it was just his pasty, veiny head.
