Cats huh?

They crap in your flowerbeds, walk all over your car, spray your car tires with piss, meow all night outside of your bedroom window, kill your songbirds, carry horrible diseases, only want around you when they want something and many times scratch and bite you for no apparent reason even while you are petting them, come on your fenced property any time they wish and best of all, have absolutely filthy and stinky litter boxes in the house.

When you adopt a cat you bring it home so that the neighbors can enjoy the pest that it is too.

If you want a loyal loving pet...get a dog.

Every kitty I’ve been blessed with (2) has been like Jack, considered unadoptable.

My heart breaks for Jack and all the other Kittehs who need homes. I wish I was allowed a second kitty. .

But because the biological status of these persons, who feel and think like you and me, or at least like you and me when we were little children

That's a BIT of a leap though. People owe it to God to be as kind as practical to animals, and if they must kill animals to do it as humanely as possible, but animals are simply not fur persons. They have their own characteristics. Cats do some things better than humans do, and that's fine because God gave those capabilities to cats.

Well... no, sorry.

I have had animals since I was born. They do not think like you and me, not even when we were little children.

I am not in favor of discarding pets as if they were tissue but they also are not people.

Very depressing. I think I need a shot of Jim Beam right about now. B-( I know of one lady that goes around the Eastern Seaboard from here in Pittsburgh to Georgia saving many cats and kittens under similar threats. Myself, I only have two cats now, one time I had as many as nine. We took in a kitten who was saved from a similar fate from a shelter in Preston County, West Virgina, Rascal, he just turned six. The other one is around 13, we took her and her three kittens in back in 2001. Unfortunately, all the kittens have passed away, one kitten (Greystone) in 2006, he was only 5 from kidney failure and his sister (Whitey) had the same last year at the age of 11 and the other brother (G.W. aka "Dubya") passed from cancer in 2011 at the age of 10. So we only have Mom left from the family. BTW, I always got a kick out of Whitey, everytime the Obummer came on the TV, she swatted him, Whitey even hissed at him from time to time.

BTW, I'm more of a cat person but my heart goes out to dogs and puppies too as well as others. I look at it this way, all these pets are loving animals that have a place or should have a place.
