In class on Friday, somehow the discussion of animals passing away cam up, I can't even remember how. Anyway. She said that she wouldn't get a dog, because she would be too upset if it died. She then proceeded to say that is why she gets cats, because it doesn't matter if they die or not!
She then went on about how her Avon lady called her one day, crying because her cat she had for 16 years had just passed away. She then LAUGHED at her and told her it as JUST a cat!
And then she said that dogs and cats are two totally different animals.
They may be DIFFERENT species, but they do not in any way require less care or love!
I asked her why she thought that cats and dogs were different.. trying my hardest to keep my cool. And she doesn't even know. She just said. "I don't know. They just are.'
It's a good thing I took Nacho and Orion from her when I did! Who knows what would have happened to them, living with her.
