My sister is the most irresponsible pet owner. She doesn't feed her cat, take care of it, she leaves it at my parents for weeks. When she does come home she ignores the cat, and if it wasn't for my Mom and me it wouldn't get food ( we fork our own money out to pay for her cat), she barely take it to the vet, unless my Mom takes her. She doesn't buy the medication she steal my cats (yet my cats medication is for them they have certain reasons to take them). She calls and asks how many dogs we can have; legally we can have 3. She says well make it 3 now (my parents have 2). She found this boxer walking around her boyfriend parents place. I can't wait to see if she brings it home. We all know she won't take care of it. Even my Mom said the samething she would end up taking care of it, with her dogs.

Sounds like my brother! My brother loves to bring home pets but he never take care of them. He never fed them right. He would always leave the responsibility to us. There was a time that we want my brother to learn a lesson so we decided not to feed the dog. But we pity the dog so much that we still fed it.

Thats how m sister is, with her cat. She is very irresponsible yet wants an aniimal but doesnt give it the necessitities or love. If we didnt feed her cat, it wouldnt be fed. She puts herself before her animals, and you can tell by their behaviour that she doesnt pay attention to them.

In my house it is actually my daughter that is always bringing home the strays to the house. When we moved into our house when she was in kindergarten, we simply had two dogs. Well, fast forward to today and we have a total of six pets now; three dogs, two cats and a fish. This doesn't even take into consideration the pets that we've had that have passed away since we've lived here (one of the first two dogs and two cats).
However, I think that my daughter is a responsible pet owner considering the fact that she is only nine years old.

Hello Rikki. I'm With pointless. A long as your parents do not stand up to your sister and forbid her to bring home any animals she will keep bringing them home.. Your parents should tell your sister to find a new home for her cat since she is not home enough to take care of it. If she doesn't then they should find it a new home. They are doing your sister no favor by letting her bring these animals home and not taking care of them. What will she do with a baby? Bring it home to your parents and then abandon it to them to raise? As pointless said they need to toughen up regarding your sister.

You know it is your parents home they can say no if they really don't want another animal.

If your sister can't take care of the pet that she already has the last thing that she needs is another pet! I love pets and I understand why she wants a dog, but it really doesn't sound like a good idea. She would probably lose interest in the dog after a while just like she lost interest in her cat, and then she would expect you and your mother to take care of the dog. There are lot of great things about pets, but any pet is a responsibility, and if she can't take care of her cat it would be crazy to get one more pet.

Why don't your parents stand up to her and just say NO.. it's their house that she flops at whenever she takes a notion to. It's just beyond me.. what if the dog chases the cats? Then what? What if the dog kills the rabbit?

I would evenutally be saying something about how irrresponsible she is. I'd be getting tired of having to take care of her cat and forking over the money. You might as well the call the cat yours and your mom's instead of hers, and as for the dog, might as well call it yours because you know she won't take care of it.
Maybe she won't bring it home. It'd make more sense for her bf's parents to keep the dog as it could just be a dog lost.

Her passion is bringing in pets into your home but taking care of those pets is not her concern at all. What if you don't care for the pets? Will she just let them all die? Or maybe because she knows you mother won't let that happen anyway. But I really can't understand why she loves to bring in pets but would not even care for them.
