She Thought It Was Funny...

I couldn't agree with you more. As for my moggy, she's been in one of her loving moods today, even lying on my chest staring into my eyes and purring at one point. I just cannot imagine how anyone can say a gorgeous creature like that "is just a cat." I'd be lost without my cat. She stops me from feeling lonely when my husband is at work. Yes, she can be annoying but nowhere near as annoying as some people can be!

I couldn't agree with you more, abandoning ANY animal is wrong and yes, it goes on in this so-called nation of animal lovers too. I really wish people would get their animals neutured because there is an explosion in the cat population now (in shelters) due to thoughtless owners abandoning kittens because they can't look after them. Well, get the mother neutured then! Silly people!

I'm lost with the current news. Is she getting some kind of punishment for this? I really hope she does. I feel sorry for the cat, if only the cat could talk, that cat will probably be really angry with her. I agree with you Janey and Oldchem, thanks to that CCTV, good thing one is installed in that area. I bet too that she's really sorry she was caught. Ha! She deserves some kind of punishment. Hmmm. Take care of animals for months will do, but she'll be really guarded.

I couldn't agree more. She keeps saying that it was a "moment of madness" and "totally out of character" and "I wish I hadn't set eyes on the cat." What she "wishes" most of all is that she wasn't caught but, of course, she would never say this. I bet that's what she is thinking though. Thank God for CCTV!

Exactly - she might be 'sorry' but sorry she was caught not sorry that she did it!!

Plus the fact she had to "face the music" outside her house, where the multitudes of press were gathered. She has a face that reminds me of Margaret Thatcher's..hard as stone and one I'd like to punch..repeatedly.

That's very true, she has nowhere to hide, thankfully. She seems such a hard cow though. Did you see her on telly yesterday? I think that was probably her mother walking alongside her and if that was me I'd be saying, "Ta-ra, I never want to see you again!"

I wouldn't want to be seen walking with a child of mine who was so evil - but there is no way any of my kids would be so evil!!

Oh it's publicised alright! Her face is slapped all over the newspapers and on the telly. Nowhere for her to hide although she seems such a heartless cow that it's not having the desired effect. Her mother is 80 and has said that it's totally out of character for her daughter to behave in this way as "she loves all animals." Well, on the evidence so far that's way off the mark and I would dis-own her for what she did. What will happen though, is that it will raise awareness. People become sanitised and stick their heads in the sand. So, when something like this shocks people (the same people [not all, obviously] who would probably abandon animals at the drop of a hat) then it might make THEM think about what THEY are doing. Hope so, anyway.

Apparently, she has said "sorry" since then but only because she had to come out of her house at some point. She's also said that it was totally out of character..so why do it then? D'you know what I mean? My furbaby is so cute..she went missing, only for a few hours a while back but it was awful not knowing where she was (she spends most of her time indoors) so when she was found by the neighbours under a parked car I was so relieved the tears just came streaming down my face. Multiply that 100-fold with the owners of Lola and you realise what precious animals cats really are. People who don't understand have never owned a cat, pure and simple!

That's a good point you make there. I only hope she hasn't got kids or animals of her own. Can you imagine living with THAT on a daily basis. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. We don't want the authorities just banning her from keeping animals for 10 years or whatever, as she doesn't like them anyway. She needs to be banged up..and quick because I fear for her safety I really do. I wouldn't go "looking for her" as she's miles away in Coventry and I don't condone a lynch mob..but prison is the safest place for her to be, it really is.

When the cat was found she was lying in her own faeces and rubbish that had been thrown in the wheelie bin...not surprisingly, in a distressed state after being stuck in there for 16 hours. I saw "that woman" on telly coming out of her house. Didn't like the look of her..face like stone. Saying "sorry" is a bit late now!
