Makes me Angry!


My daughter text me Sunday did I want a 12 week old fluffy kitten? Part of me wanted to say hmmmm maybe but the sensible bit won and I answered No got to be sensible, 4 is enough. I later rang and started asking a few questions, like who has got it, what colour is it? Male or female? Turns out my daughter on [Sys edit: Contains pet forums] is in contact with a girl who asked does anyone want a fluffy 12 week kitten? To which someone replied, not again? You only just had it. Turns out, she had a rabbit a short time and got fed up and gave it away. I dont understand people buying animals on a whim and then giving them away a few weeks later. poor kitty. My daughter says knowing her, its probably pedigree so I assume she can afford to feed it. It annoys me - selfish person. Jan x

Heart breaking but true i'm afraid!

Some one recently returned 2 of our cats to us, we vet check & home check and usually get it right but....
Apparently your own cats poohing in your own garden is unacceptable & reason to get rid of them!!!???

I despair, I really do! I think people just want robotic pets and can't be bothered or haven't properly thought out the commitment required. Makes me so sad.
