Could not believe what I saw today, a kitten being taken shopping!

If there was a smilie that was shaking its head in disgust thats the smilie I'd use right now

but you can't legislate against stupidity or half of parliament would be in jail.

How very true!

I met my first ever bengal on a leash in Hatton Garden being taken shopping by its owner. I presume that if they survive the experience they come to enjoy it (this one was wrapped around her neck like a stole). Mind you she would have been in a pickle if it had jumped off on the wrong side as the leash would have tightened around her neck
Some people are just born stupid - you can't save them from themselves, and unfortunately their animals suffer from their behaviour from time to time - but you can't legislate against stupidity or half of parliament would be in jail.

I find it so hard to avoid the whole rant about 'aaargh too young! not even had jabs yet!' bits of conversation

[Robbo]

[Janeyk]

i would have stole it and kept it myself :-) lol

find it a bit strange to take it out holding it tho!  i would be sooo scared of dropping of losing it!

You do not know how tempted I was to say let me give her a good home for the 20 years or so that you are now committed to! That is why I had to walk away, I was about to launch into the who, 6 weeks is too young to be away from momma, have you thought about fleaing and worming, what about diet andof course you will get her neutered won't you type conversation.

I probably would have

Seriously. Been working from home this week, got a mammoth report to get in. Anyway had to pop into the Town Hall for a quick meeting and on my way out there was a lad of no more that about 11 stood by the main doors clutching a shopping trolley with one hand a tiny bundle of fur in the other. I stopped and made all the usual oohing and ahhing noises. The kitten was a cutie and the little man told me her name and said that she was 6 weeks old. He has only had her a couple of days and was quite proud of her and you could see it in his face. I did point out that little ones wriggle and scratch and that she looked frightened and that if she got away she might end up under a bus and could he please take extra care? He said that yes he knew, but when he was out he put her in the shopping trolley!

I am afraid at this point I had to walk away 'cause I could feel a lecture coming on.

Makes me wonder if he will still be oohing and ahhing over her in 6 months?
