Robbing Cats Is Wrong

Man Im blushing now at all these nice compliments about my writing.
Thank you.
I was always told by my mother if you speak from the heart you cant go wrong and wrapping things up in fancy words is pointless just say what you have to say as simple as you can.
So thats what I do man.
I dont know if I can write another page as it took me ages and Im usually only home weekends and holidays from driving but Ill try.

It's completely wrong/abusive & selfish to get a pet with no regards to their need for love, medical care,training, shelter & proper food sometimes just because the kids want one. A pet is a life long commitment, they need to be part of a loving family.
You're robbing the poor animal from having a great life.

I hope you continue writing! You really know cats, Edward, and I enjoy your writing style. Keep up the good work!

A good article Edward, you sure do know and love cats!
It's heart rending that many kittens end up living unhappy lives.
Not always because the people they live with are cruel but because many are ignorant.
It's too easy to get a kitten and get rid of it when it grows up and isn't a mallable fluffy bundle any more.
People need to think ahead and ask themselves if they really do love cats enough to want to commit to all its needs and costs for up to 20 years.

Yes Ed you are right,it is a form of robbery denying cats their rightful lives.
I like the way you tell it,simple and straightforward and no fancy words,you say exactly what you mean.
Not a man to be seen,Mrs Ed did a good job with your grammar but I did miss your man lol

i told you michael would like it well enough to put it on, you're a good writer, you write a sensible article and give good advice, along with your valuable helper of course!! i agree about people just wanting kittens for a child, usually as a spur of the moment thing. we get people like that here and most of the time i would'nt give them a toy cat to look after safely. thats not to say everyone is the same of course but you get people who have seen a film, a picture in a book, their friend has just got one, these are the people who annoy me most. they don't have clue about looking after a cat/kitten just like the idea of it. the reality of litter trays, vet bills, etc., don't even occur to them, and these are usually the people where the novelty soon wears off and thes poor animals end up in shelters and rescue centres the world over, unloved, unwanted and in too many cases, dead. your article is a good one for people thinking about getting a cat/kitten to read and take advice from, and i hope they do. well done ed, can't wait for the next one.

Edward you've been hiding your light under a bushel! Your article is spot on, you chose to use the word rob and it's the perfect word to describe the effect the wrong people getting their hands on a kitten can have on that kitten's life. They are literally robbing her of the chance of a good life.

Well done man!(and wife) I hope we hear from you again soon, I like your style.

I love your article Ed, well worth waiting for !
You are so right about all the ways people rob cats by thinking what they want, not what the cats want and need.
Good point about declawing too, it is really just like robbing body parts.
Declawing is not like neutering which is for the cat's own good, it's only for the convenience of people who should never have cats in their home.
