Cass, that is one thing that has always bothered me. People will steal and animal from its loving family, a family that LOVES its humans. You know perfectly well they don't love it, they just find them attractive and decides they want it. They not only break the heart of the person that love the cat or pet they steal, but they are also breaking the heart of the pet. By taking it somewhere it doesn't want to be, new surroundings, and taking away from their life.

I suppose they know if turned loose, Mystic will come home to you. I think cats have a built in homing device. Who knows, she may escape and show up on your doorstep, I have seen it happen to cats that was given away. I gave a cat away to a friend of mine, that just wanted her so bad, a cat my daughter got when she was little and of course she lost interest after she got interested in boys. My husband hated the cat because she would get upon the table, so I gave her away. Save the peace.

We have a pet door on our house, and about two months after that cat went to live with my friend, late one night I heard such a commotion going on inside the house, I got up and guess who was home? Yeap, my daughters cat had found her way back home. I told my husband she was not leaving this time. To have traveled so far, how could I make her go back, when she was so attached to this family. She is gone now, Rainbow Bridge, I can't even remember what happen to her, So many pets in a lifetime, just can't keep up with them all.

Just you be careful, Cass.
