I hate people (rehoming cats)

Woman on my BMB has rehomed her two cats because of her baby who won't be born until October. She was worried the cats would try to "rest" on top of the baby.

I'm super hormonal today and having my own cat problems (cat freaked because of my pregnancy and is peeing all over the house), so I have ZERO empathy for this idiot. Anyone feel like educating her?

Also, if someone could post the kids and pets blog/post? I'm pretty sure there was one created a few years ago, right?

ETA: I found the babiesandbeasts blog post I was thinking of and posted it to the board.

I couldn't even click on the link... not the day for it, for me. WTF to her, just from your description. WTF.

What an idiot!! My kitties are snugglers, too. Does that mean I should rehome them because they might be snuggly with my baby someday?! GAH!!

ETA: Thank GOD all the other posters are calling her out on it, too. Apparently there ARE some rational moms/mom-to-be on TB!

I'm more irritated by the idiots that declaw their older cats because they might someday scratch their child. If the car scratches, it's probably well deserved. I've had to tell family numerous times that if the kids continue to harass the cats they are likely to be scratched.

ARGH! YOU (person on TB) are the reason I have 30 goddamn cats at my house! Because you couldn't be bothered to take a few steps to make sure baby and kitties interacted well together. Fucktard.

on the plus side, basically everyone said 'you suck'

What an idiot. I feel so sad for the 2 cats

WhoTF gets rid of the pets just because there MIGHT be an issue once the babies are born? Seriously, people are so stupid sometimes.

Idiots that's who

BTW - Charlie got a playmate. They weren't in love at first but they're warming up to eachother

aww, yay!! She was so nervous about everything when she was here, I was hoping she'd feel better after a few days of stability!

She's still nervous about us but is definitely warming up. I'm glad I got her a roommate because she was seeming lonely in her condo.

So frustrating when people are this way, seen so many people around my area doing this lately and it makes me SO mad. One ex-coworker adopted two small dogs at a young age and less than 6 months later was rehoming them because she got a BFP.
