Chip Chick
Around one week after this run-in with the woman and her son, she was walking her kitten again around campus when she came across them.
The woman asked if her son could pet her kitten that day, and although she did agree to this for a second time, she was very adamant about being the only person to hold her kitten since she didn’t want this woman snatching her kitten away again.
“The woman then tells me her son has never bonded this much with a kitten (um he’s met her twice) and offers to buy my kitten because it deserves more space and to be an outdoor cat… apparently?” she continued.
“I was kind of offended because I love my cat and think I give her a great life, I’m always on time with vet appointments and am a very responsible pet owner.”
Well, not surprisingly, she ran into this woman and her son a third time on another walk with her kitten, and once more, the woman asked her if her son could pet her kitten.
This time, she told the woman no and she walked away from them. She could see that the boy was very upset she said no this time, and it’s not because of him that she said no in the first place.
She did feel bad for the kid, but the mom really did not make her feel comfortable at all and she just didn’t want to have to deal with her.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“I’d worry that mother was going to try to steal the cat. Anyway, one is NEVER required to stop and let someone pet your animal. People need to stop acting so entitled.”
“I’d respond that I’ve never felt so bonded to a kid before and tell her she should just give me her kid and then the kid & cat can be together.”
