I guess the girl with the cat did think she was doing good by it. Here's the reply I got:
It is not that I'm trying to get bids for her, it took me 5 mos. to get her from a breeder, and she cost a fortune, my own work money.
If someone is willing to pay for her, then in a way to me, it means they must really want her. I'm actually scared to death to just give her to a stranger. I love her dearly. My mom already has 2 cats and 2 dogs, she just can't take on another pet, she is a single working woman. And all of my friends are students too, so they can't take her. I'm just trying to find her a home,
