Not that it was anything I didn't know. But it always gutpunches me.
Or you get the people who pull up in a moving van to drop off their family pet, saying that they can't take the dog with them and that they were unable to find the animal a home. They drive away, conscious clear, leaving the dirty work for you. Like you're some kind of sin-eater.
*points up* Change "dog" to "cat", and that was Max. My poor boy. They declawed him and defanged him, and dumped him at the shelter when they moved. We were so lucky, both me and him - I went to the shelter that very afternoon and snapped him up.
Max is a wonderful cat. He is sweet and friendly. The only time I ever had any trouble with him was when I was packing to move from Florida to Georgia.
He saw the moving process beginning, and he thought we were ditching him, too.
The move between houses in Atlanta went fine - because, after the move from Florida, he'd realized that I would never dump him.
Both of my boys are shelter cats. Both are neutered.
