It's Not Quantum Physics...

This is a post about idiotic bipeds who cannot take care of a pet properly.
Let's talk about imaginary people (not people I know and I have to refrain from Gibbs-smacking because they deserve it every other time they open their mouths - no, not at all, and you do realize that I'm going to growl about people I do know, though the situation applies to the whole category of plonkers). Let's say that; not knowing a single thing about cats, they adopted a kitten because their offspring wanted a cat oh-so-much, and it turns out the kitten is female.
Did the kitten win a trip to the vet when she became old enough to become a beacon for all the full male cats around? Nope... They wanted her to know the joy of motherhood.
A- she's not a biped with longings.
B- they can't frelling use the Internet to find tips to take care of their pet

Grown-up kitten has a first litter, a second, and a third. The resulting kittens from the third litter are quickly sent ad patres, and therefore, grown-up kitten, who's not stupid, takes to hiding her kittens until they're old enough to fend for themselves.
Half a bonus point for the bipeds, when they got most of the kittens adopted, and in the end, they got grown-up kitten neutered (they must have finally registered that it was more expensive to feed the hordes of cats than have mama finally meeting the vet).

My family had to learn how to properly care for our cats, but neutering our cats has always been one of the first things that happened to our feline friends (better for them and for us) - and since the operation is more expensive for a female than for a male, yes, we've adopted and rescued more males than females. Guilty as charged.

Why am I growling now? About imaginary people?
Maybe because the last daughter of grown-up kitten was old enough to become a mama in her turn and there's a tiny meowing kitten in our garden and I don't know if she's super clumsy or if she's abandoned it. I'm not even sure they noticed that the last daughter was expecting kitten(s).
These imaginary people are quietly sleeping, oblivious that a kitten needs its mama or is dying - and I cannot tell you how much I loathe such imaginary people because I may not know a whole lot of things, but, when you let your pets wander in the country, it's not quantum physics to take them to the vet to be neutered - and if you can't afford it, you do not take a pet.
Frelling stupid not so imaginary people!

Its the two R's ignored, respect and responsibility! what I wish all parents taught children (and believe me they don't) and which we should all hold for other and ourselves!!!!! okay rant over :-)

Oh, I'm soooooooooo with you!!
These "people" are so nice, I blogged about them before (only with a different "pet name").
They were gone for days, and it's my mother who makes sure their cats have enough food to survive.
*low growl*
