‘She called me sobbing and demanded I give her the kitten’: Grad student tries to rehome stray cat, only to be caught in a classmate’s emotional spiral over an unconfirmed adoption

Cats can make us do crazy things, there is no doubt. Whether it is buying ridiculously expensive food that they will never eat, toys they will never touch or in the most devious of cases cause us to adopt ten friends for them to play with. But the crazy in this story is a little more heartbreaking than usual, considering that it was caused by a cat being given to someone else, instead of the hooman who lost their mind. Now, mind, it is likely a good thing that this person was not awarded the title of pawrent, as they would have likely struggled to give the kitty the support and stability they deserve.

But nonetheless, love is love and it is hard to see love torn from someone, even if it is for the greater good. But there is a good news and a happy ending to this story (which we will not ruin for you), but it is safe to say that the lesson to learn here is that if you want to adopt a cat, just do it, do not dilly dally.
