Jeremy lost his cat, and is losing his mind, and I can't even judge him because i'd be doing the same
View attachment 2032161

He needs to accept that it most likely got eaten by a coyote or hit by a car. I'd be upset if I lost a pet too, but you don't need to livetweet your anguish to the internet like it's a therapist. It's pathetic and attention seeking.

Agree, but at the same time I'd be pretty fuckin broken up too if I've never had a cat go missing before, especially one that I'd known for a good while.

Well at least part of it is him letting the fans know why he hasn't been streaming, and then I'm sure they were asking him for details. I do agree though that it is getting a bit ridiculous, just look at his latest tweet


He was also live on twitter for 14 minutes yesterday talking about it, he was very dejected and even teared up a bit. He says he left his office window open and forgot to shut the door, which allowed the cat to jump out of the window and onto the roof (his office is on the second floor it would seem). He did not have a ladder and he said that the roof looked slick and he was afraid that he would fall so he called the Fire Department. When they arrived the cat got scared and jumped down and ran into the woods next to his house

His cat might've been close to death and wandered off, cats don't like dying around family like most other pets do. IIRC one of them was fairly older.

The cat he lost was Scooter, who according to twitter is seven years old

 

[Friendly Primarina]

That does explain why he's taking so hard; he might blame himself. Still - and I realize hindsight is 20/20 - why would you call the FD if your cat is on the roof? Even if the cat was in danger I'm pretty sure they have better things to do.

It may sound harsh, but I hope these people never have kids. How can they raise children when they go to pieces over the loss of a pet this hard? How are they going to teach the children to deal with hardships in their lives if this is the example they would set?

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Wait his wife isn't with the group anymore? I must have missed that. James always seemed like he was fake to me when it came to his interactions with others. Like he was constantly blowing smoke up your ass.

Elyse is still there. She isn't considered a "core member" I guess because she wasn't a founding member. I can't watch new funhaus anymore because they are shoving "Charlotte" in every video now. I don't even hate them because they are trans, they just suck.

I don't want to be an asshole because I have a cat and I know I'd be pretty torn up if she went missing but why would you go right to the fire department instead of just giving the cat a chance to get bored and jump back into the window? That is such a crazy overreaction.

 

[pephickshigh]

I'd understand being upset if it was a big dog like a German Sheppard or a Labrador Retriever but it is a fucking cat.

He called the fucking fire department, nevermind, I revoke all sympathy. This is too pathetic. Also he's talking like he and his wife had a child die in those tweets.

I want to rate "like" because I like GSDs and labs but I also want to rate you MATI because I like cats too. I wish we had a "conflicted" sticker.

This used to be the common solution, actually; if you've ever seen old TV shows or cartoons where a cat gets stuck in a tree or on a rooftop, they almost always call the fire department, and that's because that was actually how people used to deal with this sort of thing. It made sense in the early-mid 1900s, since that was a time when communities were so small that calling the fire department for help was more like calling a neighbor who had the proper tool for the job, but obviously that's not the case now. That said, even though it's not nearly as common now (especially in cities), there are definitely some small towns where this is still pretty normal. I don't know if Jeremy is from a small town, but that could explain why he thought calling the FD was the best solution instead of literally anything else.

That said, I'm with you that I would be just as beside myself if I was Jeremy. My cat went missing for three days when I was a kid and I was a mess over it, but in a pinch even really spoiled cats can be much more resilient than they seem; my own cat found his way home without us having to do more than putting his food outside. If Jeremy does that, the cat will very likely come back on its own. Still, I really can't fault him for being scared - I know it seems dumb to people who don't like animals or aren't pet owners, but most pet owners are very attached to their animals, and losing one or having one die REALLY sucks. He is being a little bit melodramatic, but I also think it's genuine, not just an effort to play it up for the fans.

I'd understand if it was on the roof of a 5 story building or something. Somewhere it might be stuck. Given that it apparently jumped through the office window onto the roof, it could probably go from the roof back into the window. Also the roof obviously isn't that high since the cat was able to jump down when the FD showed up. Sounds like he just made everything worse by panicking and calling them.

 

[pephickshigh]

I do wonder how much of Jeremy's reaction to this is the pandemic and the fact that he doesn't have a real job to go to and take his mind off this. I have had many dogs over my lifetime and the last one I teared up when I was in the room at the vet when he had to be put to sleep. But within an hour I was back at work. Yes, I was upset, and for many days afterwards but I still ate, showered, paid my bills, and went to work. I guess that is just the consequences of having a real job and being a functional part of the economy.

 

[Faggotty Rabbitty]

I have never understood people who treat their pets like they're their children. Maybe I'm alone in this, but it always puts me off a person. I get that he and his wife are upset that their cat is missing, but for Lord's sake, they had to have their parents come over and take care of them because they wouldn't eat.

If Jeremy, who is what, thirty, can't take the loss a pet without completely breaking down, then I seriously doubt his ability to function as an adult, living in the real world.

 

[Insalubrious]

Jeremy is continuing to act as though someone has murdered his family

Please do. It sounds like the closest thing to interesting in the podcast.

 

[off meds / online]

Apparently his fans think he's this mega heart-throb too. I think I'm gonna vomit

I know RT is shite, but pretending like this dude isn't conventionally attractive just makes you look bitter.

He's an idiot, stock for those companies barely budged.

Well some of the things he said are just... Wrong. He could not remember what the elite four were called. He said that he would go to them and train magikarps (yes, multiple magikarps). Who would ever do that? He could not seem to remember what gym leaders were called. He says he had some incident with a pokedoll where he just randomly decided to use it (without knowing what it does) while he was trying to catch Articuno. He said that after that he had to 'redo the whole dungeon' to get another chance at catching it. Dungeon? He refers to multiple in-game locations as dungeons and I've never heard anyone do that. It's not like the game calls them dungeons. I do not like Trevor and tend to drift off when he talks but I noticed him saying similarly weird things when talking about other games/media in this podcast and the last one he was in. Also I'm not sure if this makes sense but it doesn't even seem like he relates to the stories he tells.

Now compare this to Michael who has clearly played the shit out of pokemon, even the new 3D ones. He can (and did) waffle on about it, and if you like the game then it's actually entertaining to listen to. But whenever Trevor talked about pokemon his personality and general lack of recall made it come across as him telling [relatable story] about [popular game].

He's never played one before. I can 100% guarantee that.

My cat would've come running back with a shake of the container of cat treats
