How far will 'Hoarders' go for our entertainment?

Last night, The A&E network has premiered the new season of "Hoarders."

Since the series started it's been hard to believe that the next show could be any worse than the last, but it always is.


Monday's episode, (Dec. 3, 2012), featured a woman who hoarded cats. We've seen episodes where poop was the only decoration in a house. One of the houses on Monday's show was the worst of the worst. I can't believe they will find anything worse than this woman and her poopy house. The problem is, the poopy is coming from cats. The homeowner claimed she had 50 cats She also claimed she had 50-75 deceased cats. These cats are in her freezer and her fridge.

As the episode goes on, dead cats are found in the closets. They were stuffed into plastic freezer bags and then stuffed into closets.

When the agency that assisted with the cats decided that the woman's favorite cat needed to be euthanized, she lost her mind. Crying hysterically, she leaned on her son and he tried to comfort her. I seriously wanted to kick her in the ass and tell her what I thought of what she had done.

Out of the 49 cats that were found in the house, 18 were saved, the rest were put down.

This situation makes me wonder if the right animal is being euthanized.

As far as the cats in the fridge, they were sharing their space with mice, squirrels, a cardinal and whatever roadkill that this woman could find. The final horror was when they took the last part of the fridge out and found that liquid was standing at the very bottom of the fridge. It was liquid animals, decomposed, liquefied.

I am not entertained. It's time someone says; "STOP!" to these shows. Help these people, please don't show us the nightmare that is the lives of these hoarders. At least not if we have to see a fridge and freezer full of dead animals.

Last night's episode was disgusting. It was the first time I ever turned off the show... And that was only 5 minutes in to the episode. Most of my friends shared the same sentiment. Did you watch it? What did you think?

...Jesus H.

And I thought I was weird for keeping the ashes of my two cats.

That's not weird at all, imo.

I appreciate that. They sit on opposite sides of my dad's urn so it's like a little shriney-thing. I can't bear to scatter any of them. :/

I don't think that's weird! I wish I had been able to have that for some of my pets. It's so silly but we had a cat that died with us while we were on vacation, and sometimes I feel sad knowing that she is buried in some random place I am never gonna go back to. Or has probably been dug up by now lol :/

I'd really like to do that but my family thinks it's weird. When my oldest cat finally dies I think I might fight them about it.
Was it expensive?

That's not weird. What's weird is after my parents' dog died my mom collected pieces of fur from the car and keeps them in an Altoid tin in the car. THAT'S weird.

Not weird. We have my dog's ashes on our mantle.

its not weird. my uncle owns a pet crematory (now that's weird) and i've heard so many loving stories about owner's keeping their pets ashes. my uncle cremated my grams cat and she has the ashes next to the tv and actually picks the urn up and talks to the cat. some people even put some ashes in a necklace and wear them.

My parents have our cats ashes in little mahogany boxes with their names engraved on them in gold plating lmao, so that's not weird to me at all.

Definitely not weird. I wasn't given the option for cremation when I lost my first cat, but when I had to put down my second, I was and did. I traveled across the country when I had to move and I still have her box with me. My mom keeps trying to get me to bury the ashes in the backyard but I can't even bring myself to opening the box, let alone burying her ashes. So it stays with me.

I have my cat's ashes (& a little plaque with her pawprint on it) set out on a shelf in my living room. She was a part of our family & I don't find it weird at all. <3

Thats not weird. Weird is not having them cremated and keeping them around in a non taxidermy form.

that doesn't sound weird to me. you'd keep a person's ashes, you wouldn't keep a dead body in your fridge. the same rules apply to animals.

Don't worry yourself over feeling weird. I don't think it is. I intend to have my oldest cremated when she goes. Part of me wanted to do the diamond thing, but it's so expensive. She means that much to me.

no what's weird is this girl i work with who keeps the ashes of her dead kitty and still buys it toys and pets it.

I've had rats cremated plus two cats who I haven't gotten urns for yet, so they're just in tins right now. Nothing weird about it.
