I have a cousin who, well how can I say this nicely, totally a ghetto white trash idiot!! She is 30, used to(really recently) been addicted to meth, had her kid taken away by child services, and gone to jail more than once. Basically her life has been one seriously bad decision after another. I have called the cops and child services on her numerous times for everything from theft, drugs, assaulting her mother, not feeding her 5yr old daughter, leaving her 5yr old daughter alone overnight, etc..... I also have helped her get b ack on her feet many times as much as I can and do as much as I can to be in her daughters life so she is cared for properly since child services is always so quick to give her the kid back. I take them grocery shopping, babysit, they spends holidays at my place, and I helped her get a decent job.
Recently I was at her house picking her up to go grocery shopping and her cat Tigger is horrendously skinny and looks horrible. I asked her why he is so skinny and she said oh I didn't notice. I checked the cupboard and their is not a stitch of cat food to be seen, and the litterbox was so full it was like a giant solid rock in there. I asked her when the last time she bought cat food was(she lives on the same block as a pet store) and she said oh I ran out yesterday. LIAR! I had a little "talk" with her about the fact that her cat is starving to death and that if she can't care for him properly then I will find a home for him that can. She swore she was taking good care of him and told me to leave it alone. I left it(for now) and we went grocery shopping. At the store we were almost done and she looks at me a says Oh I forgot to get cat food, Tigger gets really mad when I don't feed him, and then she scurried off to get cat food. She came back with two cans of the cheapest cat food!!
I frowned but said nothing. I dropped her of at home without saying a word about it.
I got home and immediately called the SPCA and reported her(without leaving my name or she might actually beat me up or poison my dog). The SPCA went to her place and she lied of course and said the cat had gone missing for weeks and she just found him again so skinny but now that he is home she is gonna get him back up to a good weight. I talked to the officers that went to her place and they said there is not much they can do other than go back every few weeks and check up. That is just not good enough!
I made a very rash decision today after I dropped her daughter off after school. I was driving down the back alley behind her place and there was Tigger digging through a garbage can for food. I stopped my car, called him over, and put him in my car!! I can`t take him to my place because not only do I have enough cats already but they are over at my place all the time so they would notice that I took him. I took him over to a friends place and put Tigger in the nice warm club room in her barn with some food, water and a soft fuzzy bed. My friend said he can stay there as a barn cat if I want. Her barn cats get great care. Good food, warm place to sleep, loads of attention from students and boarders. I think he would be much happier and better cared for there. I am happy with my decision to take her cat.
Is it wrong that I took him
