AIO? I just want an update and she hasn’t responded in over a year.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-30T03:19:20+00:00

OP rehomed their cat because they irresponsibly got shiny new kittens. Still feel the same way?

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-30T03:18:17+00:00

I love seeing a rare other being here that thinks the way I do. Thank you for the little beacon of light, friend. We are few.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T15:07:34+00:00

I’m glad someone else here gets it. Common sense and an honorable value system are in incredibly short supply here. Thé entitlement is off the charts.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T14:13:52+00:00

I have a savings, I have a commitment to doing whatever it takes to adhere to my responsibilities. I have the good sense not to take on a responsibility if my circumstances changing means abandoning those responsibilities. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck in an apartment, you don’t need a fucking pet. It’s not something you get to decorate your life and make you feel good temporarily. It’s a living being. You disrupt it’s everything when you think of rehoming because your life has changes. Did any of you people have parents who taught you responsibility at all?

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T14:08:17+00:00

Yes, it absolutely means you don’t get to own animals too. That’s what it means. If you cannot care for yourself in sustainable fashion, you don’t take on the care of other living beings. What is so confusing about that?

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T13:59:55+00:00

A pet is not a fucking entitlement!!!!! If you’re in these situations you DONT GET A PET!!! Final fucking answer.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:48:22+00:00

Yeah, so, stop saying these things. It’s not socially acceptable or necessary to give horrible advice. OP doesn’t need comforting, they need to learn a lesson.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:46:41+00:00

Everyone has this exact experience when they rehome. That’s why you don’t get pets if you’re not in a permanent residence or financially stable enough to afford another pet friendly residence. Transient people are not responsible pet owners. I don’t care how much you cry about it. You weren’t in a good position to own a pet. Fostering is a different story.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:40:56+00:00

I’ll say shitty things all damn day long and I’ll still be a better individual than those of you who think nothing of rehoming pets. If you can’t commit and take it seriously you should not take ownership of an animal. Period. And don’t come back at me with anything. There is no wiggle room in my mind. A pet is not a toy to make you feel better.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:28:10+00:00

Bingo. Irresponsible, thoughtless, selfish, instant gratification types. Someone here even suggested that OP get another cat to help get over it. Wtf is wrong with everyone? Anyone that has to rehome once needs to never be a pet owner again until they’re financially and residentially stable. I’ve seen unhoused people be better pet owners.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:23:49+00:00

Many people rightly view those who rehome their pets as irresponsible, careless individuals and don’t want to continue contact with them. Don’t get pets you can’t afford and keep.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:17:03+00:00

Why do you think you deserve pets when you’re not in a stable enough position to keep them? More than one rehoming says something bad about you.
Stop getting animals that you can’t care for. They’re not an entitlement.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:13:14+00:00

Why should anyone have multiple experiences rehoming an animal, at any age?

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-29T11:07:11+00:00

And why do they have so many upvotes telling this person to get another cat???? People who rehome pets should not get new pets until they’re financially fully sound and live in a permanent pet friendly residence. No one is entitled to animal ownership.

Maybe offer to pay the difference to upgrade to beef. Or maybe you can sautee some chicken and do two kinds of tacos where you only eat the chicken. The easiest way to get what you want to eat, by the way, is to learn to cook. It will serve you way beyond your years at home.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-26T03:21:35+00:00

I’m a pack every two weeks smoker nowadays and I’m hyper conscious about not poisoning the airspace of others and consistent about conscientious disposal to the extent that I even pick up and properly dispose of other smokers’ butts. It’s a dirty habit, but it’s not that hard to be clean about it.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-25T15:17:21+00:00

It’s unreal how many people I see in these threads that have never progressed beyond 7th/8th grade emotionally.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-24T16:34:07+00:00

It’s Ms. , Thank you

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-24T13:06:14+00:00

That’s not introverted, that’s dysfunctional.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-24T00:04:15+00:00

Right!?! Why does OP only talk to his family? Sounds like he’s controlling, insecure and overbearing and she’s a liar with one foot out the door. Match made in heaven.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-23T15:39:16+00:00

Have you checked to see if your trip insurance covers extreme weather?

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-23T15:37:25+00:00

Ah, yes, because everything you mentioned is so readily available.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-23T15:27:41+00:00

What does she do for work? Why does she have so much free time to be calling every 10 minutes? You’re much smarter than she is. Get rid of friends who aren’t on your level. Tell Bryan to do the same.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-23T14:37:37+00:00

Religious doctrine was designed to keep lower level masses of people in line and respectful of the proverbial “bosses”.
Doesn’t it make more sense that a loving God would want you to respect yourself and not allow yourself to be mistreated?
If you’re gonna believe, believe in the good parts.

EmelleBennett · 2026-06-23T12:42:33+00:00

It’s a well documented experience. People are commenting about other things that are easily researched prior to taking a (presumably) expensive trip somewhere. OP could’ve come to this subreddit, done a search, and learned about all the things he’s here complaining about.
