Cats are incredibly adaptive animals. They truly seem to have nine lives, and their nimble athleticism helps them handle almost any situation they find themselves in.

That being said, there are obvious signs when an animal is being neglected. Sometimes, when you see a parent mistreating their child, you might wonder, “Why did they even have kids?” But what can be even more confusing is witnessing someone treat their pet poorly.

Owning a cat comes with a basic level of responsibility. If an owner isn’t prepared to handle the tasks involved—such as keeping the cat indoors for its safety—then they shouldn’t get a pet at all.

Take the story below as a public service announcement against animal neglect. The protagonist is a woman who has neighbors that own several cats. They adopted a few cats, but all of them live entirely outdoors. This already raises the question: why did they adopt these cats in the first place?

After seeing one of their new kittens left outside in the rain, she decided to take the kitten in and care for it herself.
