Thread: A distressing comment made to me today about cats

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    At the same grocery store several months ago, the man who was bagging my groceries said to me "You sure do spoil your cats. Where do your cats think all this food comes from?" I said "Um, I've never asked them". And why does he consider them spoiled? Because I feed them?
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Some poor, unfortunate, people have never loved, or been loved, by a cat. You really have to pity them.

    It sounds a little like a story I heard about a zoo in Ecuador (somewhere in South America, anyway, which had an ordinary bulldog among its exhibits, labeled "Bulldog, North America."

    What Macgyver's Mom said!

    It doesn't sound like that cashier had all of her brain cells. I wonder what she'd say if the Octomom came through her line?

    Give your six special kitties some great big hugs and snuggles from me because they have a very special meowmie!

    I absolutely agree. I really feel sorry for those that have not experienced the joy of bonding and loving an animal. What a huge hole they have and don't even know it! You can't idiot-proof the world so just let it roll off you and focus your energy on your lovely posse.
    You know what REALLY pisses me off? No one would ever think of SAYING to a person...How many KIDS do you have? Answer: Six. Reply: Why so many? I mean honestly I wonder what goes thru peoples heads? She doesn't KNOW you. SHe doesn't KNOW your life and your cats. It's just plain rude. People need to learn some manners.

    When i tell people i have four, they usually are very nice about it, and think it pretty amazing i have that many, i do think myself having four is a lot,but then i was used to ever only having one or two kitties, Ah PT sure showed me the errors of my ways lol.

    Was a thoughtless comment though wasn't it? some people just don't think before they open their mouths,maybe one day she will learn a valuable lesson in life when a precious furbaby comes in to her life and takes her heart,lock ,stock and barrel, until then she probably will think just as she does now,let us hope that happens, as it will change her life forever and for the better, i think it sad that some people do not have the capacity to love an animal and to feel the love in return, they sure don't know what they are missing out on.

    I have read that there are Coffee Shops in Japan where they show off Pure Bred Exotiic Cats like Savannahs and Toygers in glass pens. The Cats can come and go as they please and people can marvel at thier beauty.
    That sounds a lot better than a zoo, as the customers can spoil the Cats with shrimps and other treats!

    Young and stupid, obviously. I can just picture her chomping on a wad of gum while she's spewing these idiotic statements. I'll say no more.......

    There's a saying in spanish that goes something like: "the noisiest people are the emptiest" (la gente más ruidosa es la más vacía)
    Clearly that woman doesn't know what ANY love is; someone who loves and respects his/herself, loves and respect others and she was direspectful to you.. God bless her

    A big hug to you Mary, forgive that poor woman.
    Lots kisses to your cats

    I can't blieve she said that. How sad! 6 cats isn't a lot. We have 5 cats right now. 2 of them are kittens and the other 3 are adults.
