"I apologize if i hurt your feelings by letting a sad, lonely, starving cat adopt us"?
I mean, if she was really upset about losing said cat, wouldn't SHE have put up signs/advertised in a newspaper/called up the pounds/knocked on people's doors/actually put a collar or microchip in the cat beforehand? And since (i can only assume) she didn't, well - doesn't that lack say exactly how little the cat really meant to her? It seems more a matter of getting upset for the sake of getting upset, rather than any real caring.
Sheesh. I'm sure there's a polite note to write, but i'm currently too furious at her neglect to compose one. (There's an outdoor kitty that we've nicknamed "Matty Cat", because he sometimes has these huge mats of hair hanging off of him. He looks owned, but woah, that's neglect. We've tried to lure him to a brush several times, but failed. *sigh*)
Like "Matty Cat" and the one that lives outside our apartment... plenty of "strays" get food and attention -- so there is no excuse for letting one who is "owned" starve. People have been taken to court for less.
Oh good. I was all bummed when I read it the first time, but am glad you updated and that the situation isn't going to make things difficult between N and his clients.
The woman whose cat it was sounds like the type who cares more about her "property" than whether said property is healthy and safe.
I'm thrilled things worked out, of course, but I'm still a little wary... I'm just going to wait and see how continued relations with the clients are before I can TOTALLY relax, but things are definitely looking up!
We found our family dog, Major, on the street in San Jose. We put up signs around the neighborhood, but no one called. Six months later the children of the owners came to claim him. We said no, and it turned out the parents didn't want him back. The kids probably got to them, because they eventually changed their minds and asked for him back. We kept him because he had become a part of our family, and ended up having him for 16 years.
