    I couldn't even leave my pets if they were "just" ill! How could I enjoy a trip while my furry friend is suffering at home?!
    Probably I shouldn't even have posted this because it's not loyal (towards her), but I'm so very upset right now!

    Oh, and I sure hope she won't have another pet after this one! She told me the other day that her kids now want a dog...

    Please don't feel you're wrong in posting this. You needed someone to talk to about it and we don't even know who she is.

    I would absolutely not go on the trip. Even if I had my mom or brother taking care of the animal I would not be able to go enjoy myself. If the cat is really THAT sick I would let him go and be free so I could have a peace of mind while on my trip. Sure I'd be very sad, but I'd know my kitty wasn't at home suffering in pain.
    It makes me sad to think this kitty may pass on his own without his family around.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh my God.... I cannot believe how completely cruel and horrible that person is.

    What a fine role model for her children.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
