    I agree that if your cat is COTD or not, unsolicited advice is inappropriate. Kinda wierd actually. It's safer for peeps to stay indoors 24 hrs. a day as well, but most of us don't to that. To each his own I say, with all due respect. I mean truly, are we not celebrating the joy our excellent furry friends give us?

    Hmmmmmm

    I never noticed anyone doing such a thing, but I may be guilty of not reading all the other posts.

    I agree, there is a time and place for everyone's opinion and it isn't appropriate for a post on the Cat, Dog, Pet of the Day.

    If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. <--- my Mom's favorite expression.

    You don't have to go far! Just look at today's Cat of the Day....taken to a new level...it doesn't actually say the cat goes outside but they still feel the need to spread their superior wisdom.

    Yikes

    I never noticed it before now. Maybe someone should PM the folks doing the "advice posts" to let them know it is not necessary and appropriate. Gosh. Talk about raining on a parade!

    I just assumed the kitten goes outside because the bio mentions that she hunts. She is a former outside kitty, so I hope she becomes an indoor-only kitty over time.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    For those who just don't get it

    What I think was meant by starting this thread is that:

    It is not appropriate to recommend, suggest, mention, or type your thoughts on how someone is raising their pet, when the pet is being honored as the cat/dog/pet of the day. If the person had posted anywhere else, then yes, but NOT when they are presenting their beloved pet and telling their story etc. It just isn't a good time to bring up your sad stories and how much danger YOU think THEIR pet is in, after reading their story.

    I never really noticed that people were doing that until it was just now mentioned.

    I think you mean well - but it just isn't the right time or place to offer your opinions and comments that are not complimentary to the owner(s).

    I am not trying to offend anyone, just trying to get the point across.
