Pet care

Having a pet is like having a child. It means you should only have a pet if you can care for it properly. The same goes for children. This is something many people have a hard time understanding for some reason. Why Tatiana does not know. One of lifes many mysteries.
When Tatiana takes Chhaya to the vet tomorrow for some anal sac extractions, she is going to ask the vet if they can give hers some pamphlets on spaying and neutering.
Btw, Tatiana tried to do the extractions on Chhaya herself, but she gave up after the second try, it's kind of scary if you are not sure how to do it right, you don't want to hurt anything in there......
So why the pamphlets? Well, there are a few girls at work, more like one girl and one woman, because this person is way pass the age where she can be mistaken for a girl. These two have female cats that keep on getting litters and then they are begging random people to take the kittens.
Tatiana thinks this is very irresponsible. The woman sat outside the local grocery store this summer, with a litter of kittens in a box, trying to give them away to passersby. Just another example of that age and wisdom sometimes don't go hand in hand.........
Like, no screening of the possible new owners first. These kittens can end up being abused, snake food etc. Hello!? Don't you care?
It was that cats third litter that Tatiana is aware of, maybe there have been more litters. And now this cat just had another litter and the woman is trying to get rid of the kittens again. Awful.
Have you heard of crush videos?
"Crush videos, also known as squish or trampling videos, cater to fetishists who gain sexual gratification from watching women torture and kill small animals by stepping on them.
Typically, those crushing will use their buttocks or feet, making this fetish popular amongst many foot fetishists, as crushing by feet is usually the main focus. The foot (barefoot or in shoes) is thus often idolized by someone with a crush fetish."
Yeah, absolutely DISGUSTING . Of course there is a law aginst these types of videos but they are still being made and circulated.
And sometimes those cute kittens or puppies that people give away to random people end up being tortured and killed in videos like these.
Just another reason to spay or neuter your pets.
Supposedly this woman at work thinks the spay is too expensive. But somehow she can afford to smoke cigarettes. Weird.
Tatiana would starve first if Chhaya needed food or anything. Chhaya depends on Tatiana for food and shelter. When you make the choice to bring an animal into your life you need to make sure that animal is taken care of.
Chhaya is not going to have puppies. Even though she would probably be a really good Mommy. Because if even one of those puppies would end up being mistreated Tatiana would be miserable.
Maybe by giving a pamphlet about spaying and telling this woman about crush videos will make her realize that she needs to spay her cat.
Tatiana can only hope.
