I have a situation (what else is new?) that I need help with.
Fellow cat lovers....
As you know I recently got my job in the pharmacy at the hospital and was training in IV's today with what I thought until today was a very nice person.
As it turns out, my son and her were born the same day, the same hospital.
Here's the problem that presented itself today at lunch.
There were 4-5 of us at the table talking and the subject first focused on rabbits.
One of the techs hubby accidentally came across some baby rabbits that were left motherless and died. (sorry, I hate that too)
So then the conversation turned to rabbits and so on and I told them how Mitzi chases rabbits and eats them. (evidence shows this as fact, I hate that too, but nature takes its course).
This girl that was training me, I was already having trouble with her mannerism and training techniques, (practice what you preach kinda thing) so then announced that her dad "shoots cats that chase rabbits around her house" "he would rather have rabbits around than cats".
Knowing full well that I have 6 cats, as most everyone there does (their pictures are on my locker along with my kids and hubby) I thought this was extremely rude. She never acted as if anything was said or as if this is a normal situation for her dad to kill cats randomly by shooting them.
Later I noticed she mentioned having a dog(s). I wanted so badly to say something to her without provoking an arguement, but bit my tongue because I couldn't find the words.
How would she feel if someone shot her dog for chasing a rabbit cause they like rabbits more than dogs?
This irks me to an extreme and I really just needed to vent.
I thought about telling her about the "Sheba" deal. Sorry, can't remember what TCS member, but know the neighbor who shot her cat was criminally charged. What ever happened with that anyway?
People who don't like cats were probably mice in another life!!!
