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?

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?

As I recall it was maybe $80 to have her cremated by herself, and $50 if you didn't mind your pet, uh, cremated with others. Creepy option imo, so of course I just wanted my baby.

Oh that's not bad. Who would want their pet cremated with other ones? That's weird.
I have tattoos of my cats because I love them so much. I don't know what I'll do when I get other cats though. I guess I'll just have to get cat tattoos forever.

People do that when they aren't able to bury their pet and when they don't feel that they can take the remains home. It's their way of humanly letting go. Also, stays are also in group cremations. I found a dead cat on the street that I took to my sister's vet clinic so he could be cremated. I couldn't stand the site of driving by him and seeing him rot. :C

i had mine done at an animal shelter and it was $35, floral tin box included (in 2006). they didn't mention doing it with other animals, but reading the above comment makes me wonder if the cremains i have are just *my* cat (pictured). she was such an awesomely bitchy cat.

awww so cute. i had another cat who died about 3 or 4 years ago (she was like 21 years old) and my parents buried her in the back yard and i was so sad. i wanted to cremate her. my cat i have now is my baby and i refuse to bury her in the back yard.

she was hella boss. she died right before i got back from my junior year abroad in college. bitch couldn't wait for me, but i think she would've lived if my mother had taken better care of her while i was gone (still pressed, tbh). a friend of the family kept her in her cool cellar (had a gajillion animals/was an animal advocate and knew how much it meant to me) for a week so i could come back to say goodbye and have her cremated. i brought her cremains with me when i moved to italy lol. now THAT would've been an interesting customs discussion as i had her in my carry-on.

Nah, they should have told you if they didn't selectively cremate.

idk if this is weird but i got kind of excited when i found my old dog's collar in the back of my parents car because it still had some of his hairs on it =\ it also smelled like him? lol

no, idt that's weird. i found some of my old cat's hairs in a bag of yarn when i was moving and it kind of made me happy/sad.

I still find my dog's hairs tucked inside books and stuff. Happy/sad is definitely the best way to describe it.
