I got my kitty Joey from a woman off Craigslist. He is now about 9 mos old and the best kitty in the world. I love him. Right now he is sleeping at my feet, where he sleeps every single time I sit down.
When I got him, the woman asked if I could update her occasionally on how he is doing. I have written her a couple times and sent pictures. Yesterday I took a couple really adorable pictures and thought about how its been awhile since I emailed her so I sent another message filling her in on him and sent the pictures.
Her response made me so sad.
She has allowed her kittens to have more litters. She has a 5 month old kitten who is apparently identical to my Joey. She asked if I knew anyone who would want him or if I wanted another kitten. The reason?? Her 5 month old cat is having issues getting along with the his mama cat. The joey lookalike had a sister cat too who gets along great with the mama cat I guess, but the lady thinks that the joey lookalike and the mama cat aren't getting along because the mama cat is pregnant again...because she promised her kids that she would let the cat have one more round of kittens!!!!!!
I dont get it! I can look on CL and see 5-10 kittens a day needing homes. Why would you purposely bring another litter of kittens into the world where there are already so many. She already was having trouble finding Joey lookalike and his sis a home, and now more kittens will be born needing homes.
GRRRR!!
This is probably a pointless post but it just bothers me and I needed to vent where people might actually understand!!
