2. Stupid idiot neighbors

I had some next door to me awhile back.

They had two cats. One was older and the other a kitten.

They were both declawed and left outside in a very rural area.

The kitten got beat up while it had the bandages on its paws. They thought it was "funny". I didn't.

They moved away with the two cats not long afterwards.

They did this to save their filthy furniture. They lived like pigs.

It is unforgettable to me and since this occurred, I've never really gotten over it. I have avoided the vet that was doing this. Greedy fuckers.

So glad this is no longer allowed in California!!!!!
