Sorry to break it to you, but yeah, it happens sometimes. Our adoption process was built to try to screen people for that sort of thing, and I like to think I've gotten better at recognizing it in people over the years, but sometimes it happens. It's really frustrating.
Yeah, it can be. Some of 'em really don't like to be moved in the first place, so putting them in a whole new environment and then removing them from it can really mess 'em up. Some are more okay with it, but even then it's just awful to do that to an animal.
Yeah, of course. You're not that kind of person. I know if you decide to adopt a cat - or any animal - at any point, you'll take damn good care of 'em.
