Sorry, he did take good care of his cats while he was alive. I will keep the story about the puppy mill to myself
I will make it a short story- There was an illegal puppy mill operating out of an old farm. There was close to 800 small dogs and puppies there. They had 2-3 puppies/dogs per metal cage with little to no room and stacked on top of each other 4-5 cages high. When a dog would pee or crap it fell on the dogs below. They would hose them down in the morning. During the day they had them in a pen outside. I helped the local human society take the dogs, The owners were arrested. I did animal recuses at the time but already had 2 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats at home or I would have taken a puppy they were very cute.
That is sickening. Glad you were able to help. They deserved to be arrested
I agree with you to a degree, but when it comes to people keeping lots of cats together, that is bad for the animals. Cats are highly territorial and having dozens in a small house leads to constant stress and fights. It eventually goes pair shaped and they start killing each other.
That is included with proper care. Cats are mainly solitary animals, so if you are not keeping that in mind, you are likely not providing them with proper care
They used to put all the puppies in the mill and grind them into flour. Then bag them up and sell them as puppy powderSorry, he did take good care of his cats while he was alive. I will keep the story about the puppy mill to myself
No pet shop smells fresh in the morning.
I sure hope not! Although when my dad was a teacher in china he was fed dog unknowingly. He said he wouldn't try it so they brought him a different dish and said it wasn't so he ate it and then they told him...They used to put all the puppies in the mill and grind them into flour.

I feel this way all the time. My BFs family has many pets at their house: dogs cats rabbits hamsters fish lizards. My BF and I have a hamster and two geckos together and of course I do as much research as possible to make sure ours get the best care possible however I wish I could say the same for his little sisters three or four poor bettas that live in vases and their three rabbits who are never fed hay and get ice berg lettuce as their veggies not even on a regular basis (I shuttered as I wrote that). I have two guinea pigs which require similar care to rabbits so I know the importance of hay and the correct veggies daily for them. Once I mentioned it to my boyfriend and my boyfriend mentions it to his mother who threw a complete fit and was horrified that he did not believe she was caring for her animals properly... it bothers me so much that they do not know proper animal care but in their hearts they believe they are doing what’s right. It’s a tough call to make on whether or not you should say anything.
It really is a tough call. I think you should say something at first, if it goes well keep encouraging them to give better care, if it dosent then leave it be. If you know the person well maybe bring it up a few more times.
My BFs mother is a very nice person and she truly believes she is taking good care of all these animals but I don’t feel I am close enough with her to sort of bring up that she shoudnnt feed her rabbits ice berg lettuce and instead maybe offer them some parsley or something or that her daughters bettas each need a lot of care. Although at times it is very hard for me to keep my mouth shut. I wouldn’t be surprised if they day comes and I just say what I gotta say. I have a much bigger heart for animals than people
Maybe try having your boyfriend talk to her? Not trying to call you out or say your not doing enough lol. It just annoys me when people neglect their animals, I dont know if it annoys me more when they truly believe they are doing the right thing or when its deliberate
Definitely not a rodent.
