Normally Darwin Awards are for ending your genetic line with yourself. This should be like a Double Darwin Award.

Wait up, if she used a humane trap, was it in the trap when it was wrapped in a towel and placed next to her kid in the backseat?

She’s still not parent of the year material for sure, but if the animal was in a cage in the car, while still stupid, that makes it far less stupid.

I wouldn’t but an injured house cat next to my 3 year old. That is just asking for rabies shots or at least severe scratching.

I’ve had the ā€˜pleasure’ of finding out that rabies shots these days are not nearly as horrifyiing as is the past. My little darling once brought me a bat that turned out to be rabid and we both had to have shots. I say little, but she’s she’s huge. Turns out she’s almost 22 pounds or bigger than a bobcat. Fortunately for me, she stopped bringing me presents a few years back.

I’ve done that myself - only unintentionally.

First time a bear raids your cooler…shame on him.
Second time he dumps it…shame on me!

Compassionate, but very very stupid.

This only works when you leave the food in picnic baskets.

Wow, ā€œToonces the Driving Catā€; you get the gold star for the super-obscure ref!

Like many of us on the BBS, he’s of a certain GenX age wherein Toonces isn’t an obscure reference. :wink:

I’m of that certain GenX age - Toonces is more than 25 years old at this point. That’s obscure enough for me.

Also a cat lover, so cat stuff stays with me longer…

Well, the kid HAS made it to three… That’s a good life.

That’s 300 years old in cat years!

There’s an ointment for that.

The kid was strapped in, so there wasn’t really any risk to the bobcat…
