I'm not sure if this is where this topic goes, but anyways...I have always have been an animal lover and to even hear of someone mistreating an animal upsets me.My in laws have cats that they keep outside.(Some of them are tame and some are not) rarely they take a liking to one and let in come inside to stay. well i was just up there yesterday and one of her cats came up to to the porch where we were and we noticed that something was dripping from it's butt and she had the nerve to make the comment that "doesn't look like it will be around much longer" This woman makes me so MAD!! she takes NO care of these poor cats other than puts some dry cat food and a bowl of water out for them. she calls them "barn cats". and has even said that the vet has agreed with her about "barn cats" not taking as much care of them. This really bothers me. if i could i would try to take care of them but i can not afford this as i have a cat and a dog of my own and am not working right now.i can not believe someone could be so cruel as to not take good care of ALL of their pets especially a vet condoning(sp?) this sort of behavior.they also have a dog but he is treated very well.i hate the fact that i have to be around this and will always be around them (because they are my husband's family).
Has anyone else had a similar experience? How do you handle these upsets????
