It just annoys me though that they see cats as a pest rather than as pets. Its not the cat's fault that owners are irresponsible.
Me too!! My family thinks I'm weird cuz I have 7 cats. Poo on them!! My cats have been there for me through thick and thin. Can't say that about my family. What does THAT tell ya??

I'm sorry you had to go through that, Mary. Sometimes it's just best to walk away, as difficult as it is. That's one of the reasons why I moved to Michigan. My family didn't care about me when I was there (in CT) so what's the point in staying?? Besides, my family are the most materialistic, self-centered people in the history of the free world. Almost like buzzards on a dead carcus. They don't even wait till the bodies cold before going in for the kill.

That's why I'm glad I have everyone here.
