People are stupid when it comes to cats. Someone dumped a declawed male ginger out at Grapevine Lake for who knows what reason.

I can understand if he said "We just had time to grab the kids and prayed the pets would be OK", or "We loaded up the dogs, but we couldn't find the cats".

That's what I can't understand.
