tis true i guess, lets try a slightly different idea based on the one sentence. when something happens in your home and its due to your own animal, then its tolerable, hence my example about the cash, or unfortunately, a couch. but in a way you can reason it with yourself that 'fine, i wanted this animal as a pet' and then you discipline, or take the corrective steps, as a pet owner. its a responsibility.
so as his first post stated, cats got into my garage and scratched my seat. so the fact he didnt imply they were his cats id infer that they were not his. because they arent his responsibility, you bet id be pissed off. so would you as you chose to not have a pet. you would see my point here i hope.
i am absolutly against torture and abuse against animals. but discipline is important. if you cant control how an animal acts, especially if this is the first time, and not your pet. id be livid. so for people to show rage against the fact that damage to something that you cant for the most part control is normal.
i made my first comment to state my disgust that it happened. it wasnt intended as true. i guess in bad taste, but do you listen to a story about this and just go oh well? here we are fed up with some aspects of our city and a cat problem is one of them, so around here its not so offensive to bad mouth cats.
its like chess, your turn sir...
peace,
