Where is the "Leave DK Forever" Button

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Guys - I'm outta here - where is that button - I saw it once and now can't find it.  Rooney and I have made some wonderful friends here but this issue over cats - I don't want to be a part of anything that places a lesser value on cats than dogs and DON'T even go their - re-read your posts and oh yes you did.  We have two doodles trying to kill a kitty and NOT a one of you is calling the owner to task.  Oh my it would be too hard to close the dog door, too hard to train your animals.  A bunch of hypocites - "don't BYB, don't just give your dog away" blah blah -  but I guess when it comes to cats - tough poo.  Well, as a dog lover and a cat lover, DK is no longer the place for me to spend my time.  Where is that button?*************Clarification*************

I am going to try to clarify a few things in regards to this post and the the post about the cat.

1.  The poster had 2 doodles that have unlimited access through a dog door to the yard where 2 cats live outdoors.  The dogs had tried to kill the youngest & smallest cat. 

2.  The majority of responders thought she should "re-home" the cat.  I tried to say that this was a training issue - not a "re-homing" issue.  That a cat (even an outdoor cat) is NOT a disposable item.  Cats like dogs have attachments to their family and that to just assume that getting rid of the cat would solve the problem didn't make sense.

3.  I did not have any comment about the cat living outdoors other than to say in response to another poster that I would not have it living outdoors myself.  I, having lived on a farm am used to outdoor animals and the cat living outdoors wasn't even an issue to me.

4. I wasn't attacking anyone - but I became the attacked for pointing out that this cat has value as a family member too and that why do these dogs deserve un-limited access to the yard if they are not trained/supervised.  Then I feel that my honesty was being called into question by one poster.

Once again I will say - that if this person doesn't train their dogs that cats are not prey - and I'm setting in the Vet's office waiting room with my cat, harnessed and leashed setting on my lap when those 2 dogs come through the front door - what then?

The fact of the matter is - the owner doesn't want to put the time and engery into supervising these dogs outdoors, starting with the obvious - shutting the dog door - and no one wanted to be honest and point that out, the simple way is to just re-home a cat.  Which by the way - might not even be possible, there isn't exactly a shortage of cats around.  It is very sad that we hold ourselves to a high standard here on DK in regards to our doodles but are other animals not worthy?  And yes I have a cat, that was a rescue and I'm not even a cat lover, I'm allergic.  But I believe the moment that I kept that kitten from being hit by a car - I had a responsability to it, like this owner has to her cat.  Hate to let some of you down - I'm no longer looking for that button, but a break is called for and my friend list is going to be shorter.

Dog owners have a responsibility to train their dogs to NOT use cats as pull toys.

Please do not leave.  We need debate, not vitriol.  If you leave, your opinion will be missed.
