Words to Live By

"Saving just one pet won't change the world, but it surely will change the world for that one pet."

Wish someone would've told my neighbor that when she killed her darling 8 year old cat (in the prime of his life) last June.  I say "killed" and I mean killed.  For, there was no reason under the sun to take Cody's life. NONE.

She is a fussy, anxious woman with a nervous system in over-drive constantly.  This causes her to think "the worst" and feel scared all the time.  She hated the thought of Cody spraying inside her house.  Never mind that she brought another strange cat into it after Cody had been there for 6 years. 

Cats are territorial, and it's often difficult to introduce another cat into their space.  He was there first, for a long time, and it was his home first.  He didn't like Leo from the start, and things just got worse over time.  Didn't she see that?  She instigated the whole mess then had the gall, no, stupidity, to have Cody killed because she was inconvenienced---her own damn fault!  MURDERER! ! ! !

So, take this saying to heart.  Be aware of who you're killing and why.  Usually, it's NOT the animal's fault--whatever the situation.  It certainly wasn't in poor Cody's case.  I am devestated and very, very sad.
