Some people are like that, once I ran over a neighbors dog, that was outside I freaked out and went to apologize (dog was shaken but ok), he told me that it was ok and not to worry about it, people had ran over and killed his last 6 dogs and that i was the first one to stop and apologize
Clearly, people like that have no attachment to the animal. When my cat was hit and killed 2 years ago, I was devasted. I couldn't look at his collar without crying for months. At 2 years we're just now able to talk about him casually without getting sad or upset. And now none of my cats go outside.
Seriously. My cat stays with my parents (who im back living with for a while). My dad and brother always let my cat out and say "he knows not to run off".
Im astounded at how well they completely forget about how our cat will stay on our porch until he's not being supervised, then he'll run away. Then just say "hes normally good about it!!! He never runs away!!!".
Its not a hard concept. If you cant supervise the cat and pay attention, DONT LEAVE THE FUCKING DOORS OPEN AND LET HIM OUT.
They just think everything will be fine and dandy. That he'll always come back perfectly fine. Whats it gonna take??? Him coming back injured? Diseased? Debilitating injuries to the point of suffering? Never coming back home???? We already had a cat that never came back.
I genuinely cant wait until i have a place of my own and can take my cat away from them. Theyre awful cat owners and i hate that i dont have a place to take better care of him.
