What kind of heartless purrson would do this? To their own mother? Sure, taking on five cats is a big responsibility, but if she couldn't do it, why didn't she just say so? There are professional pet sitters to help deal with these kinds of things.

We agree, we also think we would have given the cat back, as much as it would have pained us to do so. It sounds rough, but at least all the cats are going back to a safe home where they will be loved. There are lots more cats that need homes though, so we're sure this family will have no trouble finding a new kitty companion in no time.
