I met a new colleague (A) today. We introduced ourselves, made small talk, and then another colleague (B) with whom I talk to frequently came over. We said hi and I asked B how Ralph, her puppy, is doing. In turn, she asked me how Jed is doing.
In the middle of the conversation, A asked, "What are you going to do with your cat once you move?" (I'm not permanently settled, and have plans to move).
"Bring him with me, of course."
A then remarked, "I say this all the time, but you people treat animals like they're human. I don't get it. It's just a cat. In my country, animals don't get treated better than people."
About the worst thing someone can say to a cat parent.
Apparently bringing a cat with me is treating him better than people. I shudder to think what she does to a relative or family member if they have to move... leave them up for adoption?
