Ok, let me give you a little background on this.
As most of you know, I got my cat Mittens from my boss. I convinced her to get a cat, despite her doubts because of the safety of her parrots. I thought she could teach Mittens to stay away from the birds. When she decided she wanted to get rid of her, I tried to tell her to lock up Mittens while the birds were out, or take the birds into a different room and shut the door. Well she wouldnt do that. Now she is with me. But anyway, my boss got Mittens from a friend of mine, whose cat had a litter. I told my friend that he should get the mother spayed, and he did, but they got rid of her.
A few months ago, the friend brought a cat to my work, who actually looked alot like Mittens' mother, who they had rehomed. This cat is actually still a kitten, probably around 10 or so months old. She is a BEAUTIFUL grey polydactyl, and she is so sweet, everytime i have held her she was purring like crazy. Her name is Skittles. When i saw her, i told him that he should get her spayed right away, in order to prevent her from having kittens, since they were having a hard time getting rid of Mittens and her brothers and sisters. Also, this kitten is really small for her age. Well, the friend was just at my house last night with my BF, and he wanted me to let people know that there were going to be more kittens and to help him find homes for them when theyre old enough to leave mom. I was like, "Whos pregnant?" i honestly dont know how many cats he has, or dogs actually, they have alot of animals, and he usually comes here. He told me Skittles was pregnant. I said, but i thought u were getting her spayed? He SAYS they had an appointment set up, but she snuck out the door and he caught her mating with TWO males. Now, i am not sure if he even had an appt set up, and i doubt this cat snuck out, Mittens' mother was allowed outside. But what angers me the most is this cat should have BEEN SPAYED for a few months now, she is more than old enough for the procedure.
Im sorry but i CANT STAND IT when people take on animals and dont do the responsible thing. Do right by your animals, YOU are the one taking them on, YOU are the one who makes decisions for them, and YOU are the one who carries the decisions out! This kid has a good heart, and im sure he feels like he is doing the right thing, but his whole family should have learned their lesson when Mittens' mom came home pregnant. Now IM stressed out because i want these kittens to go to loving homes and now i feel responsible to help him find them homes. Sorry but i had to rant to people who would most likely understand why i am so upset about this.
