Running wolf you are right. I took in three cats that people gave up and the one after my grandmother died. Tow of the cats were given up by people who cited allergies. The most recent one was a man who had his daughter's cat and his new girlfriend was moving in and allergic.

Whatever. Thats what they make zyrtec for!

It only matters how much we value the animals. We see them as family members, others see them as property or work or something else.
