the yearling read it in 5th grade and i was sobbing at the end, its so sad but it resonated with me as a kid. sadly, my parents did similar things when they decided they didn’t like my pets anymore

….anyways ur reminder that cats are an invasive species and ur a shitty abusive owner if you throw a cat outside employ some goddamn working terriers or encourage native predators but destroying an ecosystem cause ur lazy ain’t it pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

“Cats in these situations can be described as subsidized predators, affecting not only native prey, but possibly out competing native predators.”

well meet Chickie, a stray my sister and I picked up today, got dumped on her bf’s property our guess is she’s a husky mix cause she’s got that short, very dense coat but no idea what else. most common breeds here are bull breeds, great pyrs, heelers, huskies, and shepherds generally
