"I was talking to Adam Sandler a while back, and he said, 'Every day you wait is a day they don’t get to have you in their life.' The younger you have kids, the more time they get to have with you. It’s wild. Having kids is incredible. The things you normally take for granted in life are new.
As they grow up, it becomes more about connecting with them as individuals and what makes them unique. The softness of their hearts. How their minds work. How they’re the same as you. How they’re different," he added.
In the same way that being a father changes the kind of actor you are, it can definitely change the kinds of roles you want to be involved in," he said. "I've found myself wanting to do more PG movies. I see a lot because my kids want to watch them, and to be honest, some of them are bad. And I’m sitting there thinking, this is terrible. So, at the same time as wanting to make movies that would entertain my kids, I’m also thinking about creating movies that are merciful on the parents."

Yeah my guess is he doesn't do a lot of actual parenting and instead leaves the shit work to the baby-mamas. Yeah sure, don't wait to create an entirely new human being! Don't wait until you're finacially stable, emotionally healthy (like getting necessary therapy for any trauma that you could take out on your kids), physically healthy or mentally healthy (which some people will never be due to several factors). Nope, just have some brats! Breed young so you can be a parent for longer! Never mind young people are struggling more and more to take care of themselves, many of whom can't even do that. I'm sure this dick shit doesn't have to worry about money or wondering if he'll get to eat on a given day or having to choose between paying the electric bill, paying rent, or feeding his kids.

I agree that he's a rich piece of shit who's paying someone else to raise his kid, but let's also remember that he rehomed his elderly cat when he and his wife decided to "start trying" for a child. So he's a piece of shit for that, too.

that's horrible. he can afford whatever the cat needs (i.e. sitters, vet visits). Why get rid of the cat?

That is disgusting. It isn't as if he couldn't afford expensive treatments for the cat.

Certain forms of vet care can be pricey, such as my cat's bladder stones that were so bad his penis needed amputation to get him able to urinate in comfort.

Elderly cats can be bothersome and need a lot of care, something breeders aren't willing to provide.

All true, but not at all applicable to this situation. Pratt could have afforded the care for this cat. Also, no mention the cat was sick, just that he got rid of it before the loaf even got there.
Just look around on Facebook. MANY people routinely get rid of their pets because "new baby" or "impending baybee" or "new husband doesn't like cat." There are solutions to these problems, such as, get rid of the husband because I guarantee he's a piece of shit unless there are genuine allergies involved OR spend the time to teach your kids to co-exist with the animal.
Repeat: people like this are pieces of shit.

People are just lazy and they don't want to deal with caring for an elderly pet or trying to teach their kids how to handle pets gently. It's easier for them to just throw the pet out like trash. Like yes, it's not easy, but surely after that pet gave you many years of companionship, you owe them a comfortable end of their life. Not to mention the stress it probably puts on an older pet to not only go to a whole new home/shelter, but to be around completely unfamiliar people.

I know more than one person who has it written into their wills that any pets that are alive at the time of the owners' passing are to be euthanized and buried with them. I guess because they don't want to rehome the pets and don't want anyone else to have them? I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, you don't have to worry about rehoming the pets with someone who sees it as nothing more than an object or who doesn't care about them as much. On the other hand, it seems unfair to kill an animal that might be perfectly healthy just because its owner is gone.

@kittehpeoples that does sound like a really sticky situation. And you're right, the son was very lucky to have asked you to take in the cat at a time when you were able to do so. It sounds like he at least cared enough about the cat to attempt to rehome it because in that situation, a lot of people would probably toss the cat outside to fend for itself because rehoming a pet takes effort.
I can only imagine how heartbreaking it would be to surrender a pet because you are unable to care for them anymore. I don't know if I could bring myself to put my cat down (assuming I had one at the time) just because I was about to die, but then how do I know I can trust someone else to care for them as well as I did?
If they were unable to find a person to take the cat in who would show it plenty of affection and tend to its needs, the next best thing would have to be a no-kill shelter, and those are often full.
