I would be so upset too! I just cannot understand people who have no value for life. I'm sorry to go off - but these are the kind of people who produce 'psycho killer' offspring.
What a difficult and sticky situation. I can't advise you. I don't think anyone should take on more than they can properly care for...at the same time - this sort of thing just rips my heart out and I know it does yours too. I spend a lot of time disgusted with people too...which is why, I think, I have so many cats LOL elizabeth On 6/18/07, Melissa Lind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I know this is off topic, but I just had to jot this down at work since it's consuming my thoughts. A lady that I work with has farm cats. Sadly, mama kitty and baby climbed into the car trunk when open, and they didn't see them when they closed it. It's been really hot and the two spent an entire day in the trunk. Mama kitty didn't make it, but amazingly the baby did. But now my co-worker (more annoyed by the smell than anything) isn't sure what to do with the baby. She tried to feed it, I think, but she doesn't know about kitty milk or anything like that. And she actually sounds as if she'd rather just let it die. How horrifying. I've been close to tears all day after she told me so "regularly" as if it were nothing more than a nuisance. I really want to go take this baby and help it, but 1) I'm new here—it's overstepping some boundaries, 2) the baby might not have made it through today anyway without food, and 3) I have 3 of my own cats, 2 fosters, and a husband who loves cats but is getting a little frustrated that I haven't found homes for the foster cats yet. I know what the right thing to do is, but I'm conflicted. More than anything I'm angry at this lady (or saddened) by her lack of enthusiasm to help the poor baby. I can't stop thinking about this little kitty. Right now I'm generally disgusted with people.
