but cant imagine a pet lover hurting another pet??
Yeah, it would be hard to imagine a pet lover deliberately hurting an animal, but maybe neglecting it because of not meeting expectations. Maybe I've just read too many accounts of animal abuse and watched too many negative youtube videos.
My sister had a couple of cats die in the last 2 years. She usually got another one within a few months. She always adopts. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my Rocco. He's the reason I get up every day.
I can get over the loss of people easily enough, probably because most of the people I've lost weren't anything to brag about anyway. Replacing them is hard because my attitude sucks and I'm a bit of a loner anyway.
