Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008BASTARDS!
Some of you will know I am about to become a slave to a third cat. I pick her up tomorrow. In the photo, she looks *exactly* like Suki (ie, pure white & very fluffy), except for her eyes which are green/yellow rather than blue like Suki. But her eyes are *just* like Pickle's eyes. She's 18 months old, just the same age as Suki & Pickle. And she's in the same suburb that Suki & Pickle were originally from. My gut feel says that she's their 'long lost' littermate. 100% White, fluffy cats are not that common, and the coincidences are too hard to ignore. Why is the subject of this post "BASTARDS!"? you may well be asking. The reason why she was up for adoption is that the son of a workmate moved into a house, only to discover the previous tennants had left her locked in. No food, no water. The house had been empty for over a week. it was made very clear when he rented the property that it was No Pets Allowed. Apparantly besides being very thirsty and hungry, she holds no grudge against humanity, and still a total love bug (like Suki). She is a beautiful, adorable, friendly, loving creature. How any decent person could leave her locked up in an empty house after they moved out is beyond me. There are no excuses that I can think of that cover it. She is clearly not a stray that just snuck in (no way to sneak in) but an abandoned pet, imprisoned in large cage, with not a care whether she lived or died. Her previous humans (I can't say 'owners') are not so much bastards as ... no, there's no words to describe such beings. Thank Bast that the new tennants had enough respect for life to feed her and try to find her a home. Her old humans don't deserve even that. Blech, the more I see of humanity, the more I like cats.

Good on you for taking her in and making sure the rest of her life will more than make up for her sad beginnings. Hugs, CatNipped > Some of you will know I am about to become a slave to a third cat.

What if the house had been empty for a month or more?! I do not understand people like this, I really don't. Good luck with your new arrival :) Jill > The reason why she was up for adoption is that the son of a workmate moved > into a house, only to discover the previous tennants had left her locked [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Blech, the more I see of humanity, the more I like cats. Roger that Vicky. However, I'm not sure the term "humans" applies to them. Sub-something, but not human. Purrs and good thoughts for your new owner to relax and know that she is in her forever happy place and that she bonds with Suki and Pickle soon. Has she told you her name yet?

I made the mistake last night of watching one of those animal cops show and saw a woman who deliberately took a lovely, adorable dog out to a remote area and dumped her there. Her reason was that the dog was her husband's, she never wanted it, and her husband let the dog s*** all over her house. Her husband was another treasure, obviously. When the cop explained to her that she couldn't do that, and in the USA (she was from somewhere else) she was subject to animal cruelty laws (which aren't strong enough IMO, but I certainly don't blame the cops from trying to do their jobs as well as they can), she just couldn't seem to take it in. The poor cop said to her "When you have a dog, it's like your baby. You have to give it food, water, shelter, walk it, or find someone who can. If you can't do that, you shouldn't have an animal." She was shocked that she could be arrested or fined for what she did to the dog. She was outraged, and could not fathom that she did anything wrong. BTW, the dog was a purebred Wheaten terrier, who was emaciated, and whose long coat was matted beyond recognition of the breed. I have to not watch those things. Theresa, Dante, Stinky > I hear you.

Some people should have to live in the conditions they expect their animals to enjoy. Pam S. who was totally wierded out > BTW, the dog was a purebred Wheaten terrier, who was emaciated, and whose > long coat was matted beyond recognition of the breed. > I have to not watch those things. I know what you mean, except that I also find it uplifting to know that there are people whose life's work is to rescue animals in those situations, and to prosecute the people who created the situations. Also, I love watching the "epilogue" part where the animal is all fattened up and healthy, living and playing happily in its new home. The stories don't all end well, but many do.
