Cats are incredibly adaptive animals. They truly seem to have nine lives, and their nimble athleticism helps them navigate nearly any situation they encounter.
That being said, there are clear signs when an animal is being neglected. Sometimes, when you see a parent mistreating their child, you might wonder, “Why did they even have kids?” But what’s even more puzzling is witnessing someone treat their pet poorly.
Owning a cat comes with a basic level of responsibility. If an owner isn’t prepared to handle the necessary tasks—such as keeping the cat indoors for its safety—then they really shouldn’t get a pet at all.
Take the story below as a public service announcement against animal neglect. The protagonist is a woman with neighbors who own cats. They adopted several cats, but all of them are raised as 100% outdoor cats. This raises the question: why adopt cats if they aren’t going to be properly cared for?
One rainy day, the woman noticed a new kitten from her neighbors left outside in the rain. Concerned for the kitten’s well-being, she took it in and made it her own.
This story serves as a reminder that pets rely on us for their safety and care. If you’re not ready to fulfill those duties, it’s better to reconsider getting a pet altogether.
