Thank you for rescuing her. Please take her to a vet to have her checked and spayed,
That's a conundrum.
I asked all around the neighborhood & checked on-line & nobody is missing a cat that fits kittys description.
Getting to know her, she has shown me EVERY sign that she's been abused (and I've never even raised my voice to her)...I think her tail was even broken. I massage the base of her spine & it gives her great relief.
It was 3 months of good nutrition before I saw her run for the first time.
But if I bring her to a vet...and she's chipped...they'll take her away from me. I would have no problem if she was going to a good home...but I don't want her to go back to an abusive home.
WTF do I do?
Please take her to the vet. If she IS chipped, and I doubt she is, the previous owners don't deserve to have her back. Taking her to the vet will find if she has any medical problems and will let you know whether or not she's been spayed.Thank you for rescuing her.

SiouxageThe American Indians used to thank the antelope or buffalo for their meat they where about to eat, the spirit of the animal they where about to consume. They did a prayer of thanks.What do YOU think or feel is "ethical"?
I understand it is not practical to be compassionate toward ALL living sentient creatures who are born "innocent", but why not demonstrate compassion and respect for MOST animals, especially ALL people on this Earth?
It seems to me there is too much greed and fighting between humans, who dominate this planet Earth.
Perhaps we can "come together" a bit more regarding our common priorities, such as the Pursuit of Happiness, including those of dogs, cats, elephants, whales, etc.

Interesting. I don't necessarily disagree, but I will say that is pretty far fetched. How about a more realistic example:I don't believe one should torture a dog for shits and giggles but I would gladly trade in an infinite amount of dogs for one human life.
Innocence comes in degrees.a creature is sentient, it ain't innocent.

Says you. I say innocence comes in degrees. And all of ethics, philosophy, legal code, and history is on my side on that one.Innocence is a binary state... either you are, or you aren't.

I do agree though don't return the cat to its owners if their care was that bad.

And there's the conundrum.
They don't do a welfare check on animal cruelty. And I have no idea if it was or wasn't...she might have been abused AFTER she ran away.
But I'll tell you one instance where kitty tipped over a broom & it made a loud bang...she ran away from ME...FROM ME...thinking I was going to kick her kitty ass.
I had to get down & talk softly to her to coax her out from under an end-table where she was hiding and shaking. It took a while to convince her that I wasn't going to beat her...she seemed confused as to why I wasn't.
The "trust building" is still ongoing.

I can't disagree with the sentiment. Human life is ultimately more valuable than animal life.

Innocence is a binary state... either you are, or you aren't.
Unlike Mr Schrodinger's pets.
