Cat Forum - View Single Post - Irresponsible Cat Owners!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Gaudy. The issue you mentioned is not a new case and it is not a pleasant issue either.

I have seen it many times and have advised many people to neuter/spay their cats from many years ago – but many people just took it for granted. To make it worst, some people used my statement to fight using “religion” fact. The fact is, they never tried to understand the “religion’s” flexibility when come to necessity.

Every time I read cases related with animal cruelties, my heart beats fast and my anger rise up. But, as I said before in other threads, we, the citizens can only make the talking and petitions, but without the help in rules enforcers, none of this will take place.

Some times, we do not have to go too far - we do not need to look at strays. We can see the unjust situations from the cat owners themselves. Most claims to love their pets but how many are they really care to take them to the vet?

Assumptions.. ladies and gentlement! Assumptions that

“I can cure my cats by giving them panadol”
“I can make them drink by changing their water bowl”
“I can give hot meal when they had flu”
“I don’t need to give them vaccinations because my grandmother’s cats don’t need them but still alive until today”
“I can leave them roaming while going back home town because cats can survive”
“I can live in a 20th floor condo without netting but open up all windows and sliding doors because my cats are damn educated and they wont jump”
“My cats have 9 lives.. so, why worry?”

And so forth!

And when their cats died, they would say “Ajal dan maut di tangan tuhan….”

WHAT?????? That is the most stupid crap Ive ever heard but I hear all the times. I bet we all do.

The point for all my saying is, the only way to change all these is to educate ourselves. Second to be our friends and relatives, and next to strangers. Talk the talk guys, walk the walk!

I used to beat people who beat animals
I used to throw stones to people who threw stones to animals
I used to shout to people who attempted to hurt animals
I used to kick people who kicked animals
(Those are things I did when i was a little younger - do not follow my bad behaviour)

I may not be a nice person but whatever I did; it would not change the fact that ranting won’t change anything. We need to be united and hopefully someday, our voices would be heard and sad incidents like these would not take place again.

I have nothing else to say.
