Really? REALLY!?
In this season of joy and celebration I had the pleasure to be dragged down to earth again and be reminded of how much people suck.
If the cryptic facebook statuses (uuuugh!) and close friends posting single hearts in the comments is anything to go by, my dear childhood acquintance is expecting child number two!
Minor thing to be pissed about surely? WELL HERE'S THE STORY!
In October 2013 she approached me and pleaded me to take care of her two cats because she and her boyfriend had fucked their economy up and she and her daughter was moving back in with her mother and something about her stepfather not allowing her to bring her cats along. She told me she loved them very much and maybe she could take them back when she got her own place to live again and a steady income. But right now she had no other options and if I found someone who wanted them I should just send them away. (I find this soooo contradictionary, had it been me and my kitties, I'd very nicely ask someone if they could take them into their home and I'd pay all expenses while I sorted my life out, but I digress.)
I feared what would become of these two innocent lives if I didn't say yes, so I did. I have money and I am renting a big house so for me it wasn't really a problem other than I have two cats myself and they weren't too pleased with intruders. Luckily it settled down quick, apart from some hissing and growling when they pass each other a little too closely it was fine.
This being close to christmas I knew the local shelters had their hands full so I did not contact them. The next time I thought maybe it's time to get them into a shelter and their adoption program it was close to summer, so again I decided no it can wait. Besides they seemed happy here. I didn't have the heart to send them away anymore. :| So I have ended up keeping them here.
And here comes the kicker: She has now moved into a new apartment (with her dick ass shit boyfriend) and she's got a job that gives her an okay income. You'd think she'd be overjoyous and come get her cats back because I was so nice I kept them for her all this time? Oh no sir! She is fucking PREGNANT with a kid instead!
I am so pissed I don't know what to do with myself. On one hand I am angry she has just thrown away her cats, but on the other hand I wouldn't want them to go back there either. It comes with the story that they were really scared and anxious when they moved in with me and one of them hasn't laid of that attitude still over a year after. I actually suspect they haven't been treated so good. Not that I think she ever did mistreat them, but her boyfriend is surely a suspect of being a animal abuser. He's an abusive shit in general actually.
Thank for listening. :|
tl:dr: Childhood acquintance doesn't have the means to keep her two cats, but apparently have the means to have another baby.
