Cats are not toys to be played with, and they cannot be thrown around as if they are.
Adopting a cat should be a wholesome thing to do, an action full of joy and good intentions from everyone. When someone rescues a cat, we always hope that the kitty will be adopted by them as well, that her forever home will be guaranteed right away, but we know that not everyone can handle becoming a cat owner at the drop of a dime. And giving the cat away to someone who can take care of it and give it the life and the love that it deserves is a good thing too. Doing what is best for the cat is what matters.
When the woman in this story gave away her cat, we saw that as a good thing. Unfortunate, yes, but ultimately, that is what was the best for the kitty. We also understand the sadness of having given her away. What we do not understand is demanding to get her back. This woman gave the kitty away for a reason. You can't just toss the cat around from home to home, thinking that there will be no consequences. And after that, threatening that if the cat isn't given back to them, then the new owner has to pay all the previous expenses the cat had, on top of the actual fee they took for the cat… that is too much.
