Cats are incredibly adaptive animals. It often feels like they have nine lives, and their nimble athleticism allows them to navigate a variety of situations with ease.
That being said, there are obvious signs when an animal is being neglected. Sometimes, when you see a parent who doesn’t treat their child well, you might wonder, “Why did they even have kids?” What’s even more confusing, though, is seeing someone treat their pet poorly.
Owning a cat comes with a basic level of responsibility. If an owner isn’t prepared to handle the tasks involved—such as keeping the cat indoors—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. These neighbors adopted a few cats, but all of them are 100% outdoor cats. This situation already raises the question: why did they adopt cats if they intended to keep them exclusively outside?
After seeing their new kitten out in the rain, the woman took the kitten in as her own, providing the care and shelter it clearly needed.
This story highlights the importance of responsible pet ownership and reminds us to look out for animals who might not be receiving the care they deserve.
