What I think was meant by starting this thread is that:

It is not appropriate to recommend, suggest, mention, or type your thoughts on how someone is raising their pet, when the pet is being honored as the cat/dog/pet of the day. If the person had posted anywhere else, then yes, but NOT when they are presenting their beloved pet and telling their story etc. It just isn't a good time to bring up your sad stories and how much danger YOU think THEIR pet is in, after reading their story.

I never really noticed that people were doing that until it was just now mentioned.

I think you mean well - but it just isn't the right time or place to offer your opinions and comments that are not complimentary to the owner(s).

I am not trying to offend anyone, just trying to get the point across.
