Pets are more than just animals that we keep in our homes; they are members of our families.
In a world where pets are often treated as family members, it is not surprising to see people getting emotional when it comes to adoption of animals. We often share a deep emotional bond with our pets and giving them away is not an easy thing. Recently, a cat owner who volunteers fostering cats shared an incident that a mother with her 4-year-old came to see the kittens for adoption. OP locked her kittens in the guest room because she didn’t want to give them away for adoption. The lady liked the kittens the original poster showed. When they were walking back to the entrance, the 4-year-old heard the kitten in the guest room. She went there and picked up one of the kittens. The kid fell in love with the kitten and wanted it. The mother told the OP that they would adopt this kitten but OP told them that this kitten is hers and is not for adoption.
OP tried to take the kitten away from the kiddo but the girl started squeezing it so OP had to intervene and take the kitten away from the girl. Mother got furious and threatened to call the cops. Scroll down to have a look at the complete story.

The cat owner, who had no intention of giving away his beloved pet, politely declined the mother’s request. This simple act of refusal sparked the mother’s anger, and she began shouting at the cat owner. She accused her of being a bad person for not giving her the kitten. OP’s family and friends also think that she is TAH for touching the kid but she was being nice and was concerned about the kid’s safety because kittens may scratch when they are angry.
While the mother’s behavior may seem extreme, it is important to remember that emotions can run high when it comes to pets. Many people form strong bonds with their animals and consider them a part of their family. It is understandable that it was not easy for OP to give her kitten away.
