What if your dog one day just randomly said, “Nobody is going to believe you” and then never spoke again.

See, a dog wouldn’t do that.

A CAT, now…

Yeah,  but if we told someone “So, my cat actually SPOKE to me and said ‘nobody is going to believe you’” most fellow cat owners would be like “yeah, sounds like something those furry bastards would do.”

why are dog lovers so hateful??? like you meet a cat lover and they’re like “oh i love dogs a lot too! i just prefer cats!” but dog lovers are always like “my ENTIRE FAMILY was MURDERED by a CAT, a cat STOLE MY GIRLFRIEND, BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN, TOOK MY JOB AND KEYED UP MY CAR

Even if I was as flexible enough to clean myself like a cat I wouldn’t

I bet all the Hogwarts teachers get an unreal amount of “totally hypothetical” questions from students.

it’s 2015, we should stop saying “adopt dont shop” and change it to “adopt wisely and shop only from a reputable breeder who health tests their dogs and cares about their temperament and needs.”

Nah, just adopt.

About 4 million dogs dying in shelters every year, apparently.

No reason to get a dog from a breeder unless it is going to be a working dog. And even then, you can often make a working dog out of a rescue.

I adopted my cat as a kitten from the “worst off” shelter within driving distance of my well-off town. This shelter does not take surrenders; every dog and cat there was found as a stray. I adopted my cat as a kitten, and she absolutely changed my life.

At age 6, her health began to decline. My family had no idea why. We spoiled that cat rotten, we researched our food. A trip to the vet showed that her kidneys were failing. They gave her a few months to live. But we did everything we could. Sub-Q fluids EVERY DAY. Holding this cat, who meant everything to me, down, wrapped up like a burrito (ET, we called her), jabbing a needle in her neck every day to give her fluids so she could survive comfortably. We did everything she could. “A few months” turned into two years, but she could only fight for so long. October 9th, 2015, exactly two hours before she was scheduled to be put down, my cat died at the age of 8.

We did everything right. The best food, the best care we could give her, never letting this precious girl outside. She was an asshole, through and through, from day one. But we loved her. And despite our care, she died having lived less than half as long as most cats. Our vet said it was likely genetic, she was just born more prone than most. I know that we gave that former stray the best care we could; my mother works in the medical field, which is how we could manage the fluids for so long (I know many people who simply couldn’t do it). But she still died young.

When my family felt that we could handle it, we decided to get another pet. A dog this time. But we remembered our cat; we went through the process of losing her much too soon, simply due to her uncertain background. So, when we got my dog, we researched a reputable breeder, and “bought” our dog.

I felt horrible for months. Because of people like you, saying I was the reason animals were suffering in shelters, without homes. But I’m not. We did nothing wrong. It took me so, so long to accept that. People like you, claiming I was dooming a shelter dog to eternal shelter life, that I was the reason animals were being put down, made me feel awful for recognizing that I couldn’t handle another pet who died so soon.

But we did nothing wrong. We chose a dog based on what my family needed. And that isn’t wrong. My dog is from a reputable breeder, and we chose her based on her parents health records and her temperament. We chose what my family needed, after our sick little shelter kitten.

There is nothing wrong with doing everything you can to choose a pet that will have the best chance at a long life with you. There’s nothing wrong with being unable to handle the uncertainty of a shelter pet. There is something wrong with making people who can’t handle a rescue, for any reason, feel as if they are inferior as people or pet owners.

Let people make their own informed decisions, without you guilt tripping them.

When a dog bites you, the dog is fucked up. When a cat bites you, you have fucked up.
