Cats are incredibly adaptive animals. They truly seem to have nine lives, and their nimble athleticism helps them navigate almost any situation they encounter. However, despite their resilience, there are clear signs when an animal is being neglected.
Sometimes, when you see a parent who doesn’t treat their child well, you might find yourself wondering, “Why did they even have kids?” But what’s even more perplexing 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 essential tasks—like keeping the cat indoors—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 who lives next to neighbors that own cats. They had adopted several cats, yet all of them were kept entirely outdoors. This raises an obvious question: why did they adopt the cats if they weren’t going to provide proper care?
One day, the woman saw the new kitten outside, sitting in the rain. Moved by concern, she decided to take the kitten in and care for it as her own.
