Oddly…I don’t think my brother has named his cats. I’ve never heard him call them anything other than the boy or the girl. I’ve never even asked…lol. Our puppies name was Trigger. I miss him. I mean sometimes I got annoyed at all of the dog hair and the smell of dog but he was a joy from time to time. I don’t think I’d mind pets if we lived in a bigger house. Right now we live in a town house and there isn’t all that much space. It looked big when we were checking it out but now with the couch, kitchen table, and the entertainment stand in our living room/dining room, it shrank. lol. Maybe when we move into an actual house, I’ll be more accepting.
Is your kitten an outside and inside cat? - written 3 weeks, 1 day ago
[quote charlene]Its not about legal responsiblity, it is about doing what is right and in favor of the animals. Just because you have more authority than them, does not mean decisions about their wellbeing should be taken lightly. I’m sorry “aimlessly” - i know i’m being a bit rude here, but sometimes people can be quite selfish.
Also - very sorry about your dog - must have been difficult.[/quote]
you’re not being rude, you’re just saying what is true. You and Courty both are right. It was a stupid thought and I highly doubt I would have followed through with it. I was just quite annoyed while writing the post and typed what I wanted to do, not what I really would have done. - written 3 weeks, 1 day ago
[quote charlene]Okay, well try just a little bit harder. If your borther is at all like me, he will much rather listen to you when you sit and talk normally on what bothers you and that he should put more time into cleaning after his animals. Rather than being stubborn about it. Becuase that is usually when my ears clamp closed and nothing good can come from that. I love animals - i have a cat (which luckily have a huge garden to his toilet needs) and getting a labrador and boxer this weekend…very excited about my new “housemates”!
Sorry - i’m drifting off the subject…
I get that you have a lot of responsibilities and did not agree to having pets (more responsibility) this is unfair to you. But there must be some way that you can work this out. Getting rid of an animal is always the last resort. Don’t let the cats suffer from a miss-step your brother made. And get your brother to take more responsibilities for his actions and pets.[/quote]
Labradors are pretty dogs. :) I’ve never been a huge fan of boxers. My friend had one that was a puppy, it was cute. I personally like German Shepherds and Border Collies. I want a Border Collie one day.
I really would prefer for him not to get rid of one of them just because of the anxiety that it will cause them. It should be a last resort most definitely. I just don’t really understand why he has them. He doesn’t really spend much time with them because he is either working or doing something else. He gets pets at the most inconvenient times for himself. I personally think they’d do better with someone else. They were originally outside cats, which is not what they can be at our home. We live next to a busy street and I would hate to see them get outside and get hit by a car. That happened to my parents cat. I saw it, not a pleasant thing to see. - written 3 weeks, 1 day ago
[quote courtybubble]if you just go ahead and get rid of two cats because you dont like them when hes not around, then i see no way that you could call yourself an animal lover, and you could also be charged with theft or under the animal cruelties act.[/quote]
I wouldn’t like throw them on the street…. There was no purchasing involved and there is no proof that the cats belong to him. I would simply be returning them to the owner who has given them to him. She already said she’d take them back. So say a child brought two cats home (with no money, receipt, vet checks, etc. involved) to his/her parents house. The parents take the cat back to the people who the child got them from the next day while the child is at school. It is theft or animal cruelty? This would be the same scenario, even though I am not following through with what I have said earlier because I’ve talked to him again and he is doing something about it. You can be an animal lover without owning animals. I mean I don’t approve of animal slaughter or anything of that nature. I don’t agree on the ways animals are treated for places such as KFC (the fast food restaurant in the states). PETA has videos on it. I just do not prefer to own animals.
As I said in my above post, when the guy said take a gun to them, that is horrible and I would never do it. That would be animal cruelty. The only way I would ever hurt an animal is if it was attacking me and that would only be to stop it from injuring me. If I was confronted with the option to put the animal to sleep because of its actions, I would not. I know how it feels to lose an animal because someone had gotten the wrong impression from it. I owned a very happy German Shepherd who would run up to you and play with you, stranger or not. One day my roommate opened our front door and he ran out of the house and our neighbors daughter was playing across the street. He ran towards her, she freaked out and started running away from him, my roommate told her to not to run but she still did, he nipped her on the back on the leg (nothing serious, no blood or skin torn.) thankfully we did not have to have him put to sleep but we did have to give him away. It was not a fun time. So yeah, this response is long enough ha, sorry for it being so long. - written 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Well, miscarriage. I believe it takes any entire day to run it’s course (don’t quote me on that). It…I wish I could find better words for this because it sounds horrible…kills the baby in its early stages and it falls out of the mother in the bathroom. During this time the mother has to wear pads due to constant bleeding too. She can not have sex for I think it is three weeks? something like that. Both have to be physically and emotionally horrible for the mother. I know my ex didn’t really like any of the abortions she has had. Thankfully, none of them were mine. - written 3 weeks, 1 day ago
