Bless your heart for taking that little kitten in.
I wish that pets didn't come so cheap for SOME people. I've observed a lot of abuse of animals simply because they were acquired free. If they all had to at least be purchased then they would likely either not be wanted in the first place, or taken better care of. I mean, some people only appreciate things if they've had to part with their hard-earned money to have them.
There was this one time when I had grown really, really tired of being aggravated by a patron's dog on one of the mail routes which I carried. Every day, day-in and day-out, the little bugger gave me fits nipping at my heals. It was such a small dog that I would've been embarrassed to report it and get it taken care of that way. Well the day finally came when we mail carriers were authorized for the first time to carry "mace" along with us as we delivered the mail, for our protection against vicious animals.
This little monster happened to slip up and get between me and the owner's house, right in a corner underneath the mailbox on the porch ... and without giving it a second thought I UNLOADED ON THE LITTLE RASCAL. I mean I dowsed that little critter good ... thinking I may never get as good a chance again to teach this pup a lesson he'll never forget, hoping that'll be the end of it all.
Well the ole man comes home from work later that evening (before I'm off work myself, mind you), leans back in his recliner to enjoy that day's newspaper ... his mace-laden pup jumps up on his lap wanting some sympathy/affection ... the ole man gives his pup a REAL good petting ... gets the mace all over his hands ... then rubs his own eyes with his hands. No need to say what that resulted in.
When I get back into the office I find out that I've been reported to my supervisor. I asked, "How did the guy know that it was me?" "Well it was all that mace that you painted the dog AND the house with. That's how!" Hadn't actually realized I'd gotten quite so carried away I guess.
Sure 'nuff, the next day the ole man tells me: "Shame, shame on you for picking on such a little dog!" It was then that I realized that I might just as well have reported the little monster in the beginning, since I wound up being embarrassed and shamed afterall. But I NEVER did have anymore trouble outta THAT dog. LOL!
