I am not watching that, because I have much less faith that the cat gets up afterward than I did for the dogs.
What the fuck? Can you knock it off with the fucking videos of animals getting injured? There are websites out there for the sociopaths that get off on this shit – SLOG isn’t one of them. Thanks, asshole.
Shouldn’t that sort of video be left for Rotten.com to make available? Ruined my morning. Gee thanks.
🙁
What’s next, Goldy? A series on athletes getting hit in the nuts?
It is pretty fucked the way he keeps riding. But why doesn’t anyone bother finding out what happened to the cat. I’m sure a lot of people know. It has to be reported somewhere…
Hey, other commenters, if you don’t want to see this, don’t watch.
The dog really ran out there. The bicyclists boxed in the cat by going around the outside.
@ 6, it’s kind of hard not to see what’s in the still image. So shove that up your dipshitted ass, ‘kay?
Goldy, these posts aren’t helping your cause.
@7 What cause is that again?
That was really sad. Bummer.
There’s a war on porpoises.

Well, at least it was a black cat that crossed their path.
Poor gringo pussy cat.
@ 9, ask Goldy. I’m sure it has something to do with the Stranger’s pro-bike pushback, but what, exactly, is a mystery.
Not cool.
Those look like some 3rd Avenue cyclists desperately racing towards lattes…normally a human would be under the wheel.
Dear Slog,
Stop.
Kill yourself today Goldy, you are a total failure at life and nobody loves you.
@9 The fool @7 thought my cause was “anti-bikism”, but it should be clear that my cause is compassion for the suffering of other living beings. I hope the race itself has some system in place for responding to accidents that occur in the race path that cause injury to others, even if it is not a human. But that Herman guy is a douche. I suppose one can understand being out of it in that race, but here he is on his twitter from his latest race in Colorado after seeing some bears: Nice to meat some animals in Colorado! Finally http://t.co/Kc7TvU1
He doesn’t get it. He’s left May’s cat behind.
Republicans love the suffering of others. Technocrats ignore the suffering of animals…
@Goldy, I’ve certainly got no axe to grind with you, and I support your efforts to raise awareness about the dangers facing bicyclists in our fair city. But in case this thread is in any way an informal vote on “Should videos of animals getting injured/killed continue to be posted on Slog,” I vote “No”.
seriously Slog – the animals getting hurt trend is neither cute nor hilarious. I demand a sloth-baby video in penance.
Not cool at all. If I wanted tabloid-style snuff films I could easily go elsewhere. I like The Stranger for it’s smart, snarky, over the top content… and this kind of crap is the exact opposite of that.
So glad I didn’t watch that. Thanks, Sgt. Doom, for the Jedi kitties.
@20 Agreed.
Congrats Goldy for making the world a slightly shittier place than it already is.
@ 19, I made no reference to any “cause” of yours. Go read @ 7 again – the whole thing this time – then re-read the part addressed only to you a few more times. It specifically addressed your second paragraph @ 6, which was a stupid fucking thing to say.
Goldy, Dominic, Cienna…. Does slog have some policy of hiring the writers who will make the stranger look totally stupid?
To balance things out, here is a video of a world without cars and bicycles and with only a cat and an owl:

What. the.
Where is the pro-vegan argument that meat eaters are obligated to watch this video? The angry-vegan quotient of SLOG is very low this weekend.
FWIW the dogs you saw in the Tour de France did not all get up. You don’t see it in the vids but a lot of dogs have died in that race, its always due to some dog owner who brings their dog out with the family to watch the race and does not have it on a leash. Stray cats are different.
Well, I for one laughed.
This is also a public service. This is what happens when you let your pets out of the house or don’t spay and neuter them. They get squished and end up on YouTube.
Please don’t post any more videos of animals getting hit by bikes.
@31: Oh, you’re one of those huh?
My cat rolls around in the grass with sunshine in her fur and chases butterfiles. At times, she even grooms herself in the middle of 79th which upsets me. Still, I’m happy to have a happy cat with in-and-out privilges. I understand that some cats need to be inside and every situation is different – but that should be the exception and not the norm.
If we had an extensive network of dedicated cat lanes, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.
You need a fucking sock in the mouth Goldy.
@35 Not much goes on in a cat’s brain.
Seriously Goldy! WTF? Do not EVER do this AGAIN. Because I’m with sonder on this one, you deserve a sock in the mouth for these videos.
Stop it.
Is this because you are still mad at your cat for being an asshole, Goldy? If so, I suspect your cat doesn’t follow the SLOG. You may want to try a different tact.
@28: Thank you for the cat and owl clip. It almost washed the “War on Cats” video out of my brain.
31
exactly.
bad bad human pet owners.
cause wild critters NEVER end up ran over in the street…..
Hm, never thought I’d say this, but fuck you, Goldy.
Yes, Goldy, stop posting these. The Tour De France is a Special time. Yes, we know it is confusing for animals like this cat because they are confused by the unusual and therefore unpredictable activity. But, if they get hurt, it must be ignored because it is a Special time for bicycle riders. So please don’t post anything like this again because it is a Special time when different rules and morals apply and we don’t want to be reminded of that.
@33, not to turn this into a real war on cats thread (besides, I own two), but just Google the impacts of cats on migratory birds. Cats should be kept indoors…
stinkbug @28, that was amazing.

I’m with @42. Fuck you, Goldy. You’re a sick fuck if you think smearing a picture of a dying cat all over Slog does anything for cyclists, anti-cyclists, or even self-absorbed ironic hipsters. Keep your snuff porn fetish to yourself.
Wtf was the point of that? Readership? FU
I’m a massive cat lover and I’m not quite getting the reaction here. This thing happened, really. This is reality. It is sad and sometimes can’t be fixed outside of the world of fantasy.
That sound is going to bed with me. Fuck.
God damn that freaked my cat out! Thanks a lot, arsehole.
@42 & 46
Absolutely. David Goldstein has come full circle:
Horse’s Ass, meet horse’s ass.
@ 48, so? Maybe videos of child molestation should be posted too? That’s reality, after all.
Or maybe you’re getting Goldy’s subtle point and the rest of us aren’t. Care to share your insight?
WHY would anyone post this…? Pro bike? Anti cat? Don’t let your cats out?
Goldy, I sometimes read & agree with what you have to say, but I see zero sum point in this, other than emptily generating outrage hits. 🙁 Fail.
@41 But nobody cares about roadkill.
