The opinions are mine and I'm not budging one iota.

When I posted what I did, it was just after returning from my friend's house (also an animal advocate). She was on her way home and saw a beautiful orange boy DEAD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. Some a-hole hit him and left him like yesterday's trash. We all chipped in and had him respectfully cremated. It's what he deserved. At one time he was someone's pet, just like Star is to you.

And why is it (and don't tell me it doesn't happen alot) that when the miracle of pregnancy comes around, the beloved pet becomes disposable???

Someone has to stand up for the animals. I'm a diehard animal person and will not apologize for the way I feel. Oh, and I also suffer from depression and PTSD.

If you live anywhere near CT, let me know. Maybe I can help you find a home for Star.
I am really sorry you had to see that pour orange boy out on the streets and its very sweet and caring of you to cremate him. It makes me sad too seeing ANY animal on the road dead.

I am not sure if you have an issue with pregnant people but the life that is growing inside of me, is precious and I look forward to her arrival. I am not one of those kind of people that disposes my pets when a baby arrives. Like I had mentioned earlier, I am keeping Star, she's an indoor/outdoor cat because that is what makes her happiest, I live in a very safe place, and I am always checking on her. If it does come down to it, my Mom, who is also an animal lover especially cats, will take care of her for me. Star is not in any danger what so ever, I promise you that.

I do have to hand it to you, you are passionate about animals. So am I, just not the same opinions as you and thats ok, we are free to have our opinions.
