What is with all these new members dragging up relics of threads long dead? I think it must be some kind of trend. Some kind of ridiculous, absurd trend.

Head-fi is becoming more and more popular it seems, so threads here come up more often as search results.
 
edit: I just searched "how long can a cat live without food" on google, and this thread came up as the 5th result. Maybe it's because of recent activity in this thread, but I doubt it was much farther back.
 
edit 2: "how long can a cat live without water" brings this thread up as the first result on google.

If you're using a Google account then yes, it makes sense.
 
Try it without logging on to your account. Most likely it wouldn't show up on the first page.

 

[earthpeople]

Just logged out of my google account and tried it again. Same results as before.
 
Using other search engines, like bing and ask, I don't get head-fi on the first page.

 

[Planar_head]

I logged out of my account yesterday and did the search, and I'm certain that Head-fi wasn't on the first five pages.
 
Whatever the case is I don't know.
 
Tried it today and it's the second result.
 
Still doesn't explain how or why someone would dig up a post like this.
 
I suspect that it has something to do with the revival of the HF-2...

Put it in a box, don't open it. It could be alive forever!

I have to say, this seems to be the most logical solution.

about 9 hours ago (the time is now 3:00 pm in australia), my cat was playing in our back yard when he must have jumped the fence and must have gotten lost, its the middle of winter, so its raining like hell!, i was just wondering how long he could survive, with the posibility off drinking rainwater, we live across the street from a rather large bush area, he has no food, no water acdept rainwater, could he drink it and how long could he survive. or could he get hypothermia or something?

Interesting first post...
 
Are you in WA, cos it's 5.15pm here

The cat will drink rainwater, for sure. Food, probably a few weeks.

Cats hate rain, so my guess is your kitty got out then took shelter some place relatively dry and warm. The cat is probably waiting for the rain to let up before coming home.

I had one that really hated being wet. Sometimes she'd be out and it'd start to rain. Within a few minutes there would be pathetic wailing at the door. The first few times I assumed she was horribly injured. No, just slightly wet.

You might want to go out in the wooded area and call the cat. Take a dry towel and wrap the kitty up.

i'm pretty sure most (if not all) of the water a cat gets in the wild is from the meat of its prey. Wild cats aren't really supposed to drink water the way we do, so I think it's safe to say they can go a lot longer without water than we can.

So.... Do we have an answer yet?

How long can a cat survive without eating? I'm dying to know, been waiting 9 years for someone to post the answer!

Poor little kitty cats! This thread makes me sad.

 
My favorite cat, named Jessie, got stuck in the wall once when the upstairs bathroom of the house I grew up in was being worked on. If I recall, he was in there for weeks. We finally found him, after hearing faint meows, by breaking down the wall with a sledgehammer. He was fine afterwards, and he lived a long life.

Our cat was stuck in a house for almost a week. She was 18 years old and living when we  found her. Weak of course and her liver had taken damage so she couldn´t really eat. Had to put her away after going to the vet. Had she been young I believe she would have made it though.
 
Didn´t want to have an answer but cats are damn good at sneaking into rooms when you least expect it...

I remember the man who trained his dog not to eat.   

 
Just when he had the mutt trained to perfection, it died on him....
