This whole situation is heartbreaking all the way around. The kitten of course, is in serious jeopardy and that in itself is too much to even comprehend. However, we are dealing with a young girl (teen) here who is feeling cornered by alot of adults. I was a bit harsh too, and I am sorry Riku ... it's just our first reactions to what you told us, and the pictures we had in our minds of what this kitten has gone through. This situation, in my opinion (for what it's worth..haha) is exactly why I feel there should be an age minimum for posting on Pet Talk. Maybe someday there could be a special section for Teen Pet Talkers or something???? Just an idea.... but that way we wouldn't have these clashes of mentality and emotion.

Just my 2 cents!
