We need sharp claws, don't we? I suppose humans might get fed up with a lot of it, but even still...<br />I wish people were like cats. If we don't like you, we'll growl and spit, our hair will get all bushed out and we might even bite you. Sometimes we're a little more subtle than that, but we don't ever lie about it...not unless we're old and crazy like Michael - I'll tell you a little about him later, since he's a cat I met when I was younger who's definitely not normal - or unless we have other more deep-rooted problems. It seems that humans sometimes find it necessary to say things they don't mean, to say they like you even when they don't. They often call it "being polite" but I think lying is always more rude than telling the truth, even if the truth isn't very nice or friendly. There is, after all, a difference between telling the truth and rubbing someone's face in it. In any case, someone who says they want to keep their cats because they love them, then gets rid of them with only a token effort to fix the problem in the first place...well, that's a foolish human. Knowing me, I'd probably still take some stroking from her if she had a mind to give it, but that doesn't mean I think she's wise like me...it just means I'm opportunistic about affection and will take whatever I can get.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574412777796312811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-48282135859346307232011-01-12T03:45:54.017+00:002011-01-12T03:45:54.017+00:00Oh this just makes my blood boil.

Pets are like CHILDREN, and you just don't dump them! Thank goodness there are no "kill" places in the UK and those two will get another shot at a good home.Katnip Loungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276522333751867680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-28202372850445910832011-01-12T02:05:06.143+00:002011-01-12T02:05:06.143+00:00Poor kitties.

If so, that might make for an awkward family reunion.<br /><br />What really bothers us is that 'Tears all around' comment. If the kitties mean that much to you, you KEEP them. Or you find them good homes. You don't just dump them when they get a little inconvenient. GACK!The Lee County Clowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02745490690252097351noreply@blogger.com
