Children should take priority over animals, was all I meant. Sheesh.
No need for your hostility.
I am well aware that cats do not feel emotions and are not like people. That was the entire point of my comment about the cat culture people.
My calling it “JealousCat” was merely a figure of speech, and a shortcut to my point. Actually his name was Boo.
Animals DO compete with other animals—for food, safety, territory, etc. and they mark their territory by spraying or pooping. And cats are by nature predatory. When a cat that has stayed on the floor for years suddenly begins jumping into new baby’s crib and defecating there to establish territory, that’s unsafe and unhygienic for baby.
Cat threatened baby, cat had to go.
And there was nothing “uncertain” about the cat’s future. It was placed in a fine home with a friend.
BTW, cats don’t worry about their futures.
Why should they?
If the first goes badly; they have eight more!
