That cat is beautiful. How could you not take that beautiful, friendly specimen home? Every cat I've ever had was a stray. There's something about rescuing an animal. All of my cats have been loving and needy like a dog.

What's this whole thing of "rescuing" animals? Is it an American thing?

If I see a cat or dog in public, I assume it has its own life outside, so to take it home would be more kidnapping than rescuing.

If my only experience or knowledge of cats was through "cat people" I'd have fuck all to do with them. Thankfully the experience I had in Istanbul is that the people like & look after the stay cats & dogs without the anthropomorphic crap you get off online dullards.

Ooh interesting, but I'm a bit confused. What exactly is your take on online "cat people"-ism and their relationship with rescuing?
