Am I overreacting?

[Panky]

Some people should never be pet parents. I think the people who do horrible things to their animals should have the same horrible act(s) done to them.

I can't even watch those animal shows on TV where they have those pet police come into places and rescue animals or follow-up on complaints. I get to upset.

I probably would've adopted the cat and gave him his own little "house" outside. Feeding him and loving him while he was forgotten about, I would've become too attached to be able to have someone else adopt him. Even though the animal shelter would be the most pratical solution under certain circumstances, I'd still would hate to see him go.
