Please don't laugh at me, I am so upset. She is at school, she will be gutted

I warmed up a pot of chicken casserole left over from yesterday to have for my lunch. I have eaten it, it's too late to do anything, but it was boiling for a good hour before I ate it and now I've just gone to feed dd's hamster and his cage is open and he isn't there . There was no lid on the casserole pot, his cage was on the shelf at the other end of the kitchen and the door was shut so there isn't really anywhere else he could have gone. He must have fallen in and drowned before it got hot, that's the only thing I can think of. I didn't find the hamster in the stew obviously, but there were some hairs in the pot, I just washed it it was full of bones anyway because they were those cheap chicken portions just boiled in from frozen.

Please, don't just laugh at me, I know this sounds silly but he was my daughter's birthday present, she is 6 and I don't think she will ever forgive me

I have asked dh to go to BandQ for one of the traps, he doesn't seem very happy about it but will go when he has had his dinner.

I think the poem is cruel. None of this is funny to us.

When he has had his dinner???!

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 17:11

No, he is not having the cat for his dinner. This is a really weird site.

sorry...
not as offensive as all the other jibes though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Borrow a friend's dog.........that'll sniff the little blighter out.
My friend called me round to do just that a month or so ago.
I have a greyhound who likes to chase and eat small furry things so she was an ideal hamster finder..............muzzled of course!!!!!!

wannaBe1974 · 09/11/2006 17:13

oh come on, you can't seriously expect people to believe this is real? isn't this your first post? and if you're a namechanger why would you change your name when you know that people would just suspect you of being a troll, or is that a rat, or a hamster

wannaBe1974 · 09/11/2006 17:14

erm but if you do have a cat he might well have the hamster for his dinner if it's out and about

Tutter · 09/11/2006 17:14

check any broken crockery

coggy · 09/11/2006 17:14

I liked your Ratatooey wannaBe!!!!

Tutter · 09/11/2006 17:15

snicker

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 09/11/2006 17:21

I never mentioned a cat!

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 17:21

we do have a cat, but he is out, I haven't seen him all afternoon. I hadn't thought he might catch the hamster

This is my first actual thread but I have been reading for a few months. I don't really see why almost everyone thinks I am lying, that is a bit strange.

southeastastra · 09/11/2006 17:22

they don't think you're lying, it's just a bizarre thing to happen and i suppose because you think you've eaten him makes the situation funny. i really don't think you've eaten him. i'm sure he'll turn up

Tutter · 09/11/2006 17:22

what is (was) the hamster's name lapauvre?

wannaBe1974 · 09/11/2006 17:24

a friend's cat ate her hamster.

ilovecaboose · 09/11/2006 17:24

What makes things suspicious LP is that you keep ignoring posters who say you can't possibly have eaten hamster without knowing. If you keep doing so people will be convinced it is a windup.

Am 50-50 myself

Blu · 09/11/2006 17:25

You haven't seen the cat all afternoon, lePauvre? Have you eaten the cat too, do you think? .
TBH I worry about what might happen to your poor dd when she gets home, at this rate...

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 17:25

I don't want to tell you his name, it is really unkind the way people are laughing at this. I hope you are right about me not having eaten him though, if you had been here you would have thought the same as me, it was the most obvious answer when there wasn't anywhere else he could have gone and he wasn't in his cage.

If you have been lurking here for months you would know, indeed expect the reaction a post like this would get
Now what exactly were you looking for here? ~What kind of advice did you think would help in this situation?

intergalacticwalrus · 09/11/2006 17:25

It feels wrong to laugh at this thread, but wtf, I'll laugh anyway.

Right, just off for my tea. I think it's rodent surprise tonight

Tutter · 09/11/2006 17:25

oh go on, lapauvre

i think it will tell us a lot

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 17:26

Blu my daughter got home hours ago, she was very very upset and still is.
