Okay...
so my mom and Grandma I really do love but for some reason I feel like they don't make long term commitments to cats.
The last cats my mom had she suddenly became allergic to them (i'm not buying it) when they got old and had medical problems. Some of you may remember Tigger and Cuddles. She was going to put them to sleep because she didn't want them anymore so I took them in, cared for them, and helped them to the bridge when their natural time came.
My Grandma has cats and she was telling my mom the other day she worries where they'll go when she dies. So my mom just automatically volunteers me saying I will take them in.
Even my aunt had a red eared slider turtle that she impulse bought that I ended up taking from her who is still with me to this day.
I'm sorry but I really like my crew how it is right now and I'm just not going to continue taking on their disposables.
My mom just doesn't get it. She thinks because I have 7 ferrets and 3 cats that I just automatically want to take in whatever animal is in need. I told her I would foster and help them find a home but really I like things the way they are right now and I'm at my limit for animals. She just kind of laughed and said "Yeah right, you wouldn't turn it down if it was in front of you".
I am tired of being the grown up here.
Is it just me or is this incredibly annoying??
