    "keep him, we realised a while ago we shouldn’t have gotten a pet in the first place”

    Usually when someone is a bad parent, I call for them to be spayed or neutered. But how can we prevent this dipshit from ever having another pet???

    I feel like that person shouldn’t be allowed to have ANY pets. You don’t just abandon animals in the street.

    There needs to be a list. If you abuse or abandon animals, Andre the giant shows up and eats you.

    I don’t know the logistics of how it would work, especially since Andre the Giant has been dead since 1993, but I’M STILL WORKING ON IT!!!

      They didn’t abandon the cat, it was a cat who was let out when he wanted that just decided to go to our door. I fully agree that anyone who abandons pets should be banned from ever being able to have one, but it’s not the case here. They, the “owners”, said that they had started looking at places that would take him in to be adopted by someone else (not that I can say if it’s true or not). They got the cat before their kids were born, and they realised the kids and the cat don’t work together. Only negative I can say about the parents is that they decided to get rid of the cat instead of teaching their kids to not be assholes towards animals.
