EXACTLY!
and I think this is awful how pple think they can do whatever they want to an animal to accomodate it to their 'human' needs. want a cat but worried about furniture? no plm, we will have it declawed. want a dog but worried about furniture? no plm let's keep it in a cage.
People does not respect animals as they should. An animal is not a toy, not something to be taken for granted - its living, breathing creature that NEVER asked to be taken to YOUR home, and made into something it is not.
Anyone who considers taking in a dog or cat or even a hamster, should first think hard, think twice, then think again that first of all it's a BIG RESPONSIBILITY that will last many many years, that kitties and puppies grow into big cats and dogs not longer so soft and cute,
and you never know if the animal will turn out the way you imagined it to be - for example it may not be as cuddly anf affectionate, or as quiet and obedient as you wanted it to, and most of all you can't have clean home with animals.
Even the best behaved pets have accidents, get sick or get into mischief many times throughout their life at home.
So, don't take a cat or dog home if you like it clean and organized. don't take a cat or dog home if you are not ready to be scratched or bitten ever.
