Animals and Cats: WTF?

WTF?

Today, I was denied an animal adoption because I said "babies" instead of "kittens". Apparently that means I'm not serious about pet ownership. What?! FML

Today, I adopted my second dog. When I called to tell my mom about it, she sternly told me that I was not allowed to get any more dogs. I'm 28 and own my own house. FML

Today, I received a lovely letter from the council telling me I have to cease the act of "breeding and selling cats" because someone from my Facebook reported me. I'm pretty sure I've never owned a cat or had one in my house. FML

Today, I told my friend I was considering adopting a dog. She looked at me like I was Satan and went on a rant about how dogs are "born evil" and will always maul someone given the chance. I still have the marks from when one of her psycho cats sliced open my arm last month. FML

Today, a woman walked out of the Humane Society with a cat carrier. I said, "Oh did you adopt him?" She walked past and started crying. She had just brought her cat in to be euthanized. FML

Today, I finally had a date, my first one in well over a year. Everything was going good, until my date asked, "Do you like cats or dogs better?" When I responded cats, my date promptly got up and left, saying, "This isn't meant to be." FML

Sneakin' in a kitty

Today, my wife brought home a kitten, telling me it had been abandoned. She must think I’m dumb, since our credit card statement shows that all last week she bought it from a breeder, then got it vaccinated and chipped at the vet's, and only now brought it home to feed me this pack of lies. FML

Today, I adopted a cat, thinking it would make my life a little less lonely. Within an hour, the cat ran away. Not even animals want to be around me. FML

Today, I called the landlord about the mouse I keep seeing in my kitchen. He wasted no time accusing me of keeping it as a pet, and went off on me about his "no pets" policy. FML

I adopted 3 of my cats just from people standing in front of a Home Depot/ Publix trying to give them away to a good home. There never seems to be a shortage of kitties needing a loving family to care for them

My doggos are my fur babies, super spoiled and well cared for. If the agency didn't appreciate your verbiage then there will be plenty f other places or people that would be happy to give a kitten a good home with a doting mama.

"crazy cat lady" is just a saying you don't have to act it out

Do adopted human babies not count as "your baby"? What's the difference between an adopted human baby and an adopted animal baby in the eyes of the person looking after and raising it?

If you're one of those who calls their pets their children and yourself their dad and that's how you came across, I'd be vary, too and YDI. If it was a simple 'wow look at these cute little furry babies' then FYL.

They’d deserve not being allowed to have pets because they’d treat them as well as they would had they been human babies? Makes sense.

See, me, I've seen a lot of animal adoption paperwork in my life, and I'm wondering what the context was, because there would be NO REASON for you to say the word "kittens" on any adoption paperwork, unless it was in the sentence "I will not get my cat spayed because I want her to have kittens". THAT, my friend, will get you denied, whether you say "babies" or "kittens" or "wallywampus small beings".
