i know Rosie has a life thousand of cats will never experience and that makes me very sad.
the knowledge so many are put to sleep (or worse) because of nasty humans makes me very upset.
the laws are never quite good enough in my view, thay are imroving but not fast enough.
we are suposed to be this most intelligant species but we let the side down on the care of animals so often.
We can't save them all. My current cat is from the RSPCA. In the past I've also adopted cats from shelters or taken in strays...but every time I do it I'm aware that it is just the tip of the iceberg.
There have been improvements like compulsory desexing, microchipping, cat curfew, but there are always people who won't do just the basics..
Mind you, as long as I'm talking about rules, I'd dearly like to tell the Council what I think of their $50 a year cat registration. Talk about paying money for nothing.
At the moment I've saved one cat from an unhappy life. She's content and affectionate towards me, but not tolerant of other cats, so there's just her. Saving her is better than saving none.
