Cat, whatsapp, and family strife

Cats get no sympathy in India.....very few keep them as pets.
As for the needy .....shakehead

 

Definitely her money, her cat. its her bond with her cat. People sometimes dont even respect peoples emotion then how to expect towards an animal!! Very sad!

 

@Rihana:

For some people, pets are like children. (Is that why this post is in parents and siblings forum?). Others fail to see it. The whatsapp comments could be because of triggers from feelings like, even a cat got treated with a few hundred dollars, when xyz who is human (human trumps cat?! :hideis suffering for something very essential. Very few see that she treated a cat the same way a human should have been treated with care if he/she was injured.

Yeah it is her wish, but if she shares/publicizes it, she will hear all kinds of responses.

 

Yes, its her cat. It shows that she loves her pet. Ask her not to care about what people talked on whatsapp... The cat is really lucky to have a wonderful owner. Its kind of her to show sympathy on a small animal that cannot talk about its feelings.

and in future, ask her to be careful in posting anything on whatsapp. We know its one more kind of facebook. Always be careful in what you post even though we have friends/relatives on those applications. It might pat you or bang you hard....,

Its for some of these reasons that I hate these applications.

 

Not wise of her to display her financial affortability to everyone.Now she is going to have the unpleasant job of rejecting claims to her income for sometime."Money grows on trees in every foreign land except india where you need to earn" concept is more wide spread in indian minds than we like to believe.And people always love to come up with good uses for the money we earn discounting all our spendings as unnecessary.
(as a cat lover my POV could be little harsh:evil

 

Her money, her cat, her life.
All those complaining about how the cash can be better used should literally put their money where their mouth is. Or go pound sand.
I have two huge dogs who are our fur-kids. Since the vet bills in part depend on the size of the animals, even the annual well-visit for them is $$$$. One of my dogs has special needs, so that is an even bigger expense. We have never begrudged a cent of what we spend on them. The joy we get in return is priceless.
That said, I don't expect others to understand the bond we have with our pets. My family and my husband's family gets it. Many others don't so we never talk about costs in public.

 

Her cat, her money and her whatsapp.... She did the right thing as per her choice.
But which whatsapp group she posted this story is the problem.

Your expenses to beauty parlor, cats, dogs or even for any of your social activities shouldn't be discussed with your needy/greedy family members, specially with in laws. Specifically a big NO for the amount spent. Because, these people will convert that amount in rupees, and compare them with their demands (that may be already turned downed by you). So, they will naturally get irritated, compete with the poor cat and what not. Why invite problems?

She could have posted the same pics in her other whatsapp group, where her colleagues or friends participate.
Or else, only the pics, not the amount spent on that cat.
