Today at McDonalds in the Parking lot this cat..

I would've tried to pick up the cat up - my friends know I am speaking the truth!

thats really sad

Oh that would have broken my heart, people for some reason treat cats like this, I am not sure what i would have done, if it was friendly I probably would have been tempted to bring it home but who is to say maybe it belonged to someone aroun the area...I hope it is ok though...

hi littlefranciscan it is unbelievable what people will do in regards to pet cats and dogs. I grew up on a farm, in south dakota, and people would drop off unwanted puppies and cats,and even little kitten on our private road.welived about a mile from our home town. We had to scrounge aroung to find homes for most of them as we already had at least three cats and one dog. ifelt so sorry for these little creatures, but Iwill credit my dad, he never got rid of them as some farmers might do, he found homes for all of them, except the ones we kept as pets.

Ah, that's so sad. I hate to see a cat out like that. I see them all the time and I could never understand why someone would do that either. I saw a kitten one time and it barely looked like it was old enough to be taken from it's mamma. It was on the side walk one day and it didn't belong to anyone near us and for a kitten that small would have had to have just been left there. I really didn't want another cat but I took him inside and fed him and I found someone that wanted a kitten. It is so sad to see cats at any age just running around the neighborhood without a home constantly looking for food. That isn't something I could never do. I won't even let my cat go outside.

awww. that's awful. you know here in the Philippines, it is not very unusual to see famished cats and kittens around. 99% are not from certain breeds (something like hybrid form of stray cats) and most of them run around the streets like crazy. i know they have organizations against animal cruelty here but i think it's not well-funded by the government so the kitty (sometimes dogs) goes running around the highways and end up getting squashed. it's not really unusual to see squashed dogs/cats here so i think the "higher people" are not very alarmed by the situation.

That's probably why they did it...to get more ppl to see it and a better chance for someone to take it home. I know I would have if I'd been there. I can't stand to see animals in need...if you can't keep your cat or dog, at least love them enough to either find them another home or give them to a shelter where they are at least warm and fed...they deserve that much at the very least.

There are mysteries in this universe that are so difficult to fathom. Why do the galaxies rotate the way they do? Why do cats look so abandoned and so beautiful? Who knows? Cheers!!

Someone who is callous and uncaring I expect, someone that is gutless and just could not be bothered trying to rehome it. I would have ended up taking it away with me if I had been there! I hate seeing animals on the street it just cuts me up.

What a sad little kitty. Both of our cats were taken in because they were abandoned in parking lots. People who do that, if caught, should be prosecuted. Some of the cats abandoned like that are adopted, most are not. It's heartbreaking when this happens.
