These animals, who had been one of the most important parts of my life before, now meant close to nothing to me. I would think, “It wouldn’t be so bad if they ran away. I’d be just fine.†For me, I think the difference was that the love I felt for my children was so complete and overwhelming that there wasn’t room in my world for anything else. I thought I loved my cats. But I didn’t know love from my own ass until I had children. My cats paled in comparison then, and they still do now.

And this is the type of bitch I pray dies in a fire. How the Hell can you say you "love unconditionally" when it was so easy to replace creatures in your cold dead heart with a chyld? Especially creatures who love you more than anything? So does this also mean you won't be able to have love in your chest space for chyld 2 because chyld 1 filled it up?
Bitch and a cunt.
Hope your brats drop you off in the worst nursing home they can find while running off with all your worldly possesions!

I don't do this too often because I already have kitties, but I rescued one a few days ago. It's a beautiful little red-point Siamese female, maybe six months old; not purebred, obviously, as her point coloration is very light. She has beautiful blue eyes, of course.
She was foraging on the side of the street just a few hundred feet from my house accompanied by a black tomcat about the same age. He's probably from the same litter. The poor little thing was skin and bones, but both she and her (probable) brother were friendly after a little skittishness and came to me to be petted. He was in better shape and was clearly the dominant cat.
I grabbed her, got her in the car, and returned to the house. She was amazingly docile. Since then she has made herself at home in my bedroom at night, and yes, she's housebroken.
Had intended to get the tomcat as well, maybe keeping him outside the house, but when I went back to get him, he had disappeared. Still watching for him to show up again.
My hunch is that these two were dumped or simply put outside to fend for themselves by some idiot breeders. That's okay. For the Siamese I was able to get, their loss is my gain.

Ah. Anytime I read something like this, it occurs to me that this must be what happens to the girls who drop all their friends once they find a boyfriend. That sort of disposable attitude towards the relationships in your life doesn't just go away once you are an adult. No one expects you to love your cats as much as your children, but most people can manage more than one type of love at a time.
I fully expect one of my (former) friends to be expressing this same feeling about her beloved cats when she has children in a few years. Not because parents can't be loving pet owners, I have many dear friends who prove that isn't the case, but because some people just suck.

These are the most animalistic individuals on the planet. They can't know love, because love doesnt come in one brand. There are all kinds of love, and most of them don't involve squeezing a brat from your cunt.

I just was reading the comments on the article and came across this one. I had to post it because it completely rings true with my above mentioned SIL. She did the same thing when she met her now husband, to the point where even her mother noticed it. Anyone else notice this pattern with their friends/acquaintances? Do you think it is possible that some people just can't understand how to process multiple types of relationships at once?
