Dh is not happy... (nbr ventish)

I heard our dogs barking and going on last night while outside, I go out to see what they have, and there's a baby kitten lying in the yard, lifeless. I got a towel and brought it to our screened in porch (I was afraid to bring it into the house bc I have no idea what's wrong with it and dont wanna give our house cat anything). So dh comes out, sees what I'm doing and flips. He told me I should have just taken it to the woods and left it. He's usually such a sucker for animals, so I got mad at his heartlessness and we didn't speak much last night. He sent me a text this morning saying the cat was to be gone before he got home. I'm trying hard to find it a home, and there are no shelters for cats around here. But on a good note, I had some vet supplies here so after treating it the best I could, its up and playing this morning. I don't think it would have lived through the night otherwise, so I'm glad I stood my ground on this one. But I'm still ticked that dh is being such an @ss. I told him I had no intention to keep it, but didn't want to just let it die, but he just gets a smart mouth with me.... ugh, please hope this kitten finds a home SOON!

  • Good job taking care of it, I would have done the same and we don't even have cats, DH hates them.  Hope your DH starts being a little more understanding and the kitty finds a home soon!  Put an add on facebook if you have it, a friend did this to get rid of her kittens and it worked!
  • Thanks, I put it on fb last night and pics after its bath today, and I have a lady wanting it. She's awesome with animals and I know she would be great to it. The only issue is that she can't get it til this weekend, so I've now got to convince dh to keep it til then. Hmmm.. round two? Ding ding ding!

  • Good for you!

    Just as a side vent, I can't stand when people "hate cats." It seems so silly to me to "hate" a whole species, and it feels like a trendy thing for men to do for some reason.

  • Kwinkle, I agree. I'm not necessarily a 'cat person', bc I just prefer dogs, but I like cats. Our cat inside was actually dh's idea. And he adores her, so it really surprised me when he was so callous about this kitten! And as soon as I said on fb that I had found a kitten but she had to find a home ASAP, I got tons of comments from women saying 'aw, poor kitty' and then those from men saying 'screw cats, leave it out there!'. Ugh, men!
