22. Why the HELL to people abandon pets?
:cry:

They are NOT disposable! :grr:

I am very, very glad that you have such a big heart, and that you're caring for this cat. I he finds a home and becomes an indoor cat again.

It really bothers me the way people will throw pets outside, on the side of roads, or out in woods, instead of taking themt to a shelter. Why did they get a pet in the first place if they have so little affection?

Two of my cats were taped up a box and tossed in the street. They were found and brought to my vet, where I adopted them, and they have been the sweetest cats you could ever imagine. One has since passed away, but I've posted about Silver a bit recently. And I've posted about Grey in the past.
