Asking for help then doing nothing.

[Miss Z]

And, of course, I question ANY adult that "refuses" their child's request to assist an animal in need. That adult should be the one leading the assistance.

Of course, I agree 100%. It's just not always the case.

I pleaded, whined, begged, argued, shouted and fell out with my parents about taking Foxy to the vet. It didn't work. For some reason, I find it difficult to convince parents on animal-related topics. Usually they don't want to get involved. When people post threads like that, I do sympathise.

The world would be so much more simple if we were ALL animal crazy!

I can now understand your position. Thanks.

Miss Z... I have to agree with you. I have many times been in the situation where my parents won't help me. I too sympathise when people are in the same situation.

AMEN!

But I have to agree that there is no point if someone asks for help and does nothing about it, when they can.

Zara,

I truly admire your maturity. You are wise beyond your years. I also get very frustrated by certain people who beg for advice then don't take it. There have been situations where I have gone out of my way to offer assistance in placing a cat that needs rehoming, or, trying to get them help in their area with the many contacts I have.I've gotten my hopes up about taking in a new kitty, only to have my hopes dashed by lies and insincerity. It is people like that I will never trust again, and will not respond to any of their future posts.

Summing up what Cataholic posted, I can too say, "Been there, done that." Growing up, my father always told me that while I may not understand why he does the things he does NOW, I'd understand when I had kids of my own. I'll be damned, he was right! Would I want to be a kid in this day and age? Heck no. It was hard enough for me to get through MY childhood in the 50's and 60's.

I only wish that some of the other "younger PTers" had the maturity and wisdom that you have, Zara. I want you to know that it's a real pleasure having you around here.

Aw Donna, thank you so much, that really made my heart glow today. And I want YOU to know it's fantastic having you here too!

((( BIG HUG! )))

I hope you are not refering to me as one "who asks for help then does nothing." When I wrote about giving up my cats, I was stating a fact, not asking for help. It really suprised me that so many people were interested in it.

I did take some advice too; Felicia was going to be pts, instead she has been rehomed.

[Catty1]

Felicia - I know who she means, and it WASN'T you! Farthest thing from it!

Felicia,

Catty1 is right, it was NOT you, believe me!!

I'm probably one of these people, and I guess it's because I'm a truly stubborn person, and I really don't think before I act.

She said NOT to say it was you...she wasnt saying who it was I dont get why you have to think that when someone says something negative its always about you...

I don't always do that, and I was never assuming this was about me.

Buttercup,

I sensed an attitude there. Lighten up, will ya?? What's done is done. No, Roxylovesme, it's not you. It WAS Zippy, if you followed the whole Pumpkin fiasco.
