Things that piss me off

[Kitte]

Ok I have four cats. They are expensive to keep and care for. But I do it because I love them. I have had it with people who take in more animals then they can afford and bitch about sick pets but say oh well I just cant afford to take it to the vet. I understand if you have one and fall on hard times but to take more and more animals in when you just cant care for them is wrong.

Well, I can't say that I'm particularly a 'cat' person............. but I do have 2 wonderfully taken care of "children", a schnauzer and a rat terrier/ chihuahua mix...........

What, you thought I was talking about my human children?....... they can fend for themselves...........

i love animals soo much. at the moment we have four cats, two of which are kittens, josh and i know we can't really afford all four of thema nd so we're trying so hard to find homes we feel comftorble with for the little beasts. when our two main cats which we've had for just over a year, we got them as kittens get sick we can afford to take them and can't bear to lose them. the two kittens as much as i wanna keep them, i know we can't . sorry for the rant. i argee with you kitte. how can people let their animals be in pain? or get sick, or even die, when it could have been at least alleviated if not fixed with one trip to the vet? if people can't afford to take care of them and love them as they would children, then they shouldnt have them.

My cat is 18 years old. He is the love of my life and I'll be lost without him. He is in the begining stages of feline leukemia and I give him fluids via IV every week.

He's such a sweetie - he trusts me so much - and just lays there while I stick him and let that fluid fill him up. When we're done he's all bloated for about 2 hours - it's really funny.

He is the sweetiest thing...

I totally agree with you, Kitte. I can not stand to see my cats in pain. I have two cat, Gracie and Journey, Grace is a long haired siamese, blue eyes, beautiful and demanding. Journey is a 22lb (yep, she's a fat cat) long haired solid black cat. Her eyes are emerald green. After she eats, she lays in the middle of the hallway on her back an sleeps, with her legs up in the air. It is a site to see!! I love them like my children. Sometimes more.

I don't see why these people don't realize that they can make payments to the vet office. It's just pure laziness.

It just irks me I guess, I love my cats as if they were my children. Caring for the 4 of them has been very difficult since my seperation so 2 of them are going to be going to live with their "Dad". I hate to see them go but why should they suffer because I cant afford to keep all of them. I just dont understand. Wiggles has it right. No vet worth his salt is going to turn you away if you offer payments.

I know how you feel................ My schnauzer has slept with me since the day she came home almost 6 years ago............. as for my 5 children........... they're all old enough to fend for themselves........... doesn't mean that I don't love them any less than the lights of my life that they are................it's just that my "Tootsie" occupies a space in my heart reserved just for puppy dogs.

Always has, always will.
