Pet Peve, literally
Jan. 9th, 2008 09:11 pmPeople who see pictures of baby kittens, and promptly demand that the poster get their cat spayed. Dude. You have no idea how or why that cat had kittens, if the owner has homes for all those babies, or any of the details. You don't know anything about the cat owner, so why do you automatically assume that there's something irresponsible happening? Do you go around to pictures of newborn humans and demand people get their tubes tied?
Yes, I am aware of the benefits of spaying your female cat. Yes, I agree that is should be done whenever possible. However, there are people who are capable of raising a litter of kittens, having homes for them, and doing *just fine*. Treating every litter of kittens as a criminal offence, and every stanger with kittens as some sort of ignorant boob, is just downright irritating.
