Hi,
I really need to get this out and I know it's been gone over and gone over a million times before but if I don't say something on here then I'm going to seriously fall out with someone at work.
Someone I work with is moving house with her partner and they have a cat who they don't want anymore as he is 'not affectionate enough'... they want to leave him to whoever takes their house. I have had the conversation with her and got annoyed and left it but someone else just brought it up and tried to involve me again so I said 'I'm not getting involved in this conversation as I'll just get annoyed' and then someone else mentioned the damage cats on her street had been doing to her gate on her driveway and I said I agreed it wasn't fair and I'd get frustrated too and the owners should keep their cats indoors.
Anyway the person who is moving house said 'keeping your cats inside is cruel and I would never do that' in a very very nasty tone.
I told her my cats are fine and don't get out (which she already knew) and she just wouldnt keep hers inside because he'd be in the way. She went on to say something else and now Ive had to walk away because I'm boiling. I know its an age old debate and everyone has their own opinions, which is fine, but there was no need for her to dig right at me like that!
I feel like all this time she's let me talk about my cats and pretended to care and now months down the line she's saying it's cruel! This probably makes no sense to anyone but I am just so angry at the minute. If you had been here you'd know what I mean.
Have an opinion but don't say I am cruel for having mine. aaaarrrgggh.
phew I feel a bit better now, this has prevented me from walking back over to her and starting the whole thing back up again.
