Reply #14: Yes, I wondered aloud why he was surrendered to SPCA

[Eurobabe]

in the first place. Maybe the cat had behavioral issues all along? I wondered if he might have been abused? To me cats are like kids, and that age-old poem 'Children Learn What They Live.' "If children live with hostility, they learn to fight."

People get 'real wise' to not telling the SPCA that a cat is a biter or aggressive because that is usually an death sentence, and they'd rather ease their conscience by just giving the cat up. (I was told by a local SPCA that if a cat bites it will not be out-placed because then the SPCA could be held liable. Cat is most likely just euthanized.) Makes me sick to my stomach, but it's the cold hard fact. Which is why all cats should be spayed or neutered to stop the unnecessary breeding! Lest we have to waste the ones that no one would adopt.
