Rehoming cats
Just wondered what everyone's take on rehoming cats was?
I ask as I have become aware of a person who shows their cats (and we are not even talking pedigree cats here) then, if they do not do well, they rehome them and get new kittens to show until they stop winning then they do the same again. I have heard that the unwanted ones are carted off to rescues in batches!!! I know that there are always two sides to any story but when you have the information direct from the rescue themselves who give you names and descriptions that you recognise but which they cannot possibly know as they do not go to shows, it makes my blood boil.
Also what about breeders who rehome unsuccessful cats or ex breeding queens and studs just because they have outlived their usefullness?
I have no gripe with anyone who rehomes a cat because it is unhappy with other cats or agressive towards them or for any GOOD valid reason but for selfish reasons? Sorry, to me a cat (or a dog) is a pet, a companion, part of the family and to just pass it on because it is no longer convenient to have around is not right in my opinion!
