the adoption of a rescue animal, I am so grateful. You and Eri both know how I am with animals...even the reptiles. They are my passion....not a go naked instead of wearing fur passion...but as per my style, through education should the opportunity present itself, and occasionally showing my displeasure, as was the case years ago when I abruptly left a neighbor's house (slamming the door was exited) when he thought it was cute to brag about abusing a dog, when he was younger.
I admonish when the situation calls for it also...which included another neighbor, when I found out the guy broke his kitty's tail because the kitty chewed a portion of his life size IronMan cardboard thingy. He ended up quite remorseful actually, and fixed the kitty's tail with a splint, while I was still there. I always felt maybe I made a difference because he is absolutely gushing now with his other felines.

I digress...
anyhoo...all my kitties ( around 20 over the years) have been rescues as was 1 ball python. 1 lop -eared rabbit...1 turtle, 1 baby rat snake...and a partridge in a pear tree....

...hmmm...wish I had the cajones to spit on someone wearing a fur coat.
