That title could sound cute–like the Dr. Seuss title, Cat in the Hat, but it’s not.
I loved it when my mom would read The Cat in the Hat book. Of course, she’s got a half of one book shelf of cat books. Hmmm, I just thought about it. She’s got book shelves all over her house in almost every room. And, she’s only got HALF of one shelf for cat books? That’s not fair. I’m going to have to do something about that.
Oh, but back to what I was talking about in what I named this: Cat in the Trash. I guess I’m really disappointed at how some people have no regard for living things. Everyone I’ve met is really nice, . . . I know I run and hide in the closet when people come around, but it’s not because they are mean.
A 45-year old woman named, . . . no, I’m not going to give her name. I’m sure she’s been hounded enough, and I don’t want to be one to add misery to someone else’s life just because they’ve been mean. A mean person needs help and needs to have people pray that she would change.
Anyway, there was a lady, no, a woman, in England who was walking along a sidewalk which had a small wall separating the sidewalk and some people’s yard. A kitty was walking along that wall and this woman reached out to pet it. The cat arched it’s back for more and rubbed against the woman’s hand for being so nice. The cat looked like it was offering affection and just wanted to be petted more from this woman passing-by. The woman pets the cat for a couple of seconds, notices a trash bin sitting there, lifts the lid on the trash bin, picks the cat up by the scruff of the neck and drops the cat in the bin, and puts the lid back on the trash bin–and the lady walks away.
Fifteen hours later the owner of the house finds their missing cat because they were fortunate enough to have surveillance cameras on their yard.
The surveillance video shows the woman doing this. The news reported it, and the woman was tracked down with her name and where she worked. You know what she said?
”I thought it would be funny.” And anyway, she added, “It’s just a cat.”
I can’t imagine anyone thinking locking-up a cat is funny or locking-up anything like that is funny. But what kind of person says, “it’s just a cat?” Sure, I’m quite partial to cats since I am one, but I would feel the same way if it was a rabbit or even a dog! You know, I’m not always fond of dogs, but I wouldn’t want to see that done to a dog either!
(You don’t know anyone who would do something like this, do you? What do you think. You can tell me below.)
