Woman Cuts Her Off The Fur Of Her In Laws' Cat Without Asking: Reddit Weighs In

Here at I Can Has Cheezburger we've learned well and good by now that if you mess with other people's pets, you're gonna get in trouble. Unfortunately we've had to hear quite a few stories before about people having family members get into conflicts with their pets starting crazy drama, like the family who forced their daughter to live with a dog she was allergic to because it was her sister's service dog, just an unfortunate thing for everyone involved. Moral of the story being, always talk things out, unless your relatives are crazy, in which case post the story to Reddit so that all of us can read it. But what if the animal that you didn't own was truly being neglected, or at least you thought it was? Like the daughter who felt her mom was neglecting her childhood pets? Then what should you do?

This is actually exactly what happened to the woman in today's story, who decided to try and help her in laws' cat while they weren't around, a cat who had really matted long fur. When her in laws got back and realized that their cat's fur had been all shorn off due to the matting, they were furious, but the woman who did it maintained that it was neglectful not to cut the fur because the mats were painful for the cat. Who would you say is in the right in this instance? Anyway, if you need more details to truly decide, than keep on reading, because we're going to dish all of the details out right here, right now:

Ok, so uh right off the bat we have a whole lot of questions. For one thing, why did she do this without asking, seems a little extreme to do it without even texting them first, no? For another thing, what exactly does she mean when she says that she cut the fur? That could mean sooo many different things. We suppose we'll find out more details now, but wow do we have a lot of questions.

Ok, ok, so wait a second, just to clarify, the cat has mats all over her body? We aren't here to get into the blame game or anything, but there must have been some opportunity to groom this poor cat a little bit sooner? Perhaps the owners have arthritis or something? But let us know down below if you disagree with us, maybe we're wrong in this case.
