my mum has two cats that she has had for a long time, whiskers the female cat who is heading for 20 years of age and billy the male who's around 12 years. Usually she pretty good with them, she feeds them and lets them inside when they want.
but not only does she never play with the cats she has this thing she does whenever she moves house that irritates the **** out of me.
most people when moving house catch their cats first (if they have outdoor kitty's) and hang on to them so when it's time to move they can just be put into cages and transported to the new place.....not my mother, she moves everything else first then goes back to get the cats, it took her four days to get princess (whiskers) who's a veteren cat now and it took her nearly two weeks to get billy, she did feed them everyday but whenever id tell her she should get them she'd say 'why don't you try when you get back, it isn't that easy' or 'he likes the old house, i don't think he wants to come with us'......um...WHAT?
he's a cat for crying out loud, it's her responsibility to look after him, plus, while he was at the last house, alone, the potential buyer threw out his food several times, so there was a few nights at least when he had nothing.
my mother doesn't seem to think this has any effect on bill but either way, i still think it's cruel, she almost blames him for not showing up when she goes around to pick him up three days after they have already moved, or she makes out like it's too hard...when it's her fault in the first place.
she finally got him because i pestered her for a week but she's now saying that if he doesn't stay she might have to get rid of him, knowing full well that i will have to take him because of my love for cats...grrrrrrrr
sorry, just had to get that out.
