I personally have never had any problems with caring for cats.

I find it odd that a person I know after having a cat for a year wants to pass it on to someone else. They’ve had this cat from a kitten but now they have had enough of looking after it.

This bugs me a lot. If you choose to have a pet- you’re committed for the long haul.

So I decided to discuss this with a different friend and they think certain personalities don’t gel and apparently this person and their cat’s personality didn’t gel. That perhaps this person should’ve started with a adult cat- but I don’t know if they’d handle a adult cat any better than their current pet.

Does that work? I’ve never had a personality clash with a pet, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen or that others don’t experience it? Are we justifying a bad cat owner’s behaviour instead of challenging them?
