“Maybe the owl leaves the cat on their porch”. I mean, seriously, what’s wrong with you? Do you realize the cat is not at fault?

You seem like an okay person but it was genuinely a disturbing thing to say. Merry Christmas I guess. I understand being frustrated at reckless pet ownership but you seem more mad at the cat than the owner who let it be in that position, and I don’t really think that’s fair.

I don’t leave my cat outside. I didn’t realize I needed to literally spell that out, but, I guess I drastically overestimate the intelligence of other people on the internet.

Anyways. I’m a little disturbed by your comment, if I’m being completely honest. Maybe it’s for the best you’ve had to stop feeding the birds… you seem like a the type of person who would be unkind to animals.

Yeah, I don’t care, I’ll still scoop up the kitty 😅 as far as “dangerous things I’ve done to assist animals”, this would maybe hit a 3 on a scale of 1-10. And that’s probably being generous.

I’m well aware of the potential consequences and risks, have worked in a vet office and am fairly competent compared to the average person walking around. But, I’d never just sit and watch this, especially if it’s one of my animals (which, it wouldn’t be, my cat would never find herself in this situation because I’m a responsible pet owner- but still).

That said, if you (or anyone reading this) don’t have any formal experience handling distressed animals, please, do be extremely careful in these situations.
