My heart goes out to beautiful Donna, the poor darling. I hope she finds a decent furrever home soon, and my prayers go out to her beautfiul kitten.

I am very worried about the child. Evidently, he has an iota of decency in him and loves his cat very much. I am worried for the way they are treating him, especially the boyfriend. Do not be surprised if the child is being physically or sexually abused by the boyfriend and/or his mother. This just doesn't sound right. The type of unscrupulous person who would treat a cat in such a way - how the hell would he be treating the boy?????

Good on you for saying something, Donna. I really think that Darwin was on to something. Unfortunately, instead of the reprehensibly stupid and evil people sullying the gene pool of the decent, reality is the converse - it is the decent people diluting the vile filth of the rotten people's gene pool.

We are a dying breed. Apathy and cruelty are the cancer of society, one from which I think it will never recover. I hate to sound so pessimistic, but concepts such as chivalry, honour, politeness and decency are being forgotten.

And the most important one. Accountability. Where has it gone?
