Dunno if it's just a Canadian thing, but what do pet stores look for in potential cat owners ?
My mother went to a 'Pet Valu' store to looky loo because they got in a cute cat, but she said a lady was there complaining that they refused to let her adopt it because she already has two old cats and an old dog, so it would be a "bad environment" for a young cat.
The lady also told her a man was refused a cat adoption while she was there the first time, because the staff told the man they don't believe that he's a good fit. Every cat I've known just lies around mostly, is there really a need to be that stringent ? I'm considering walking in there with a MAGA hat to see if they call the police.

There are thousands of cats in shelters/pounds looking for homes. The SPCA is just a few miles from my work, and so far 3 of the 4 cats I've owned have come from there and been amazing.
One of them, about 10 years ago, was $40 to adopt (I hear it is $60 now). They called me back later that day and said they fucked up, it was during a sale to try to get more cats adopted and it was actually only $4. They offered me the $36 back if I wanted to come pick it up. I told them to keep it because they put way more than $40 worth of work into each cat anyway.
But seriously, fuck pet stores. They are probably getting their animals from puppy/kitty mills anyway. The SPCA spays/neuters them, gives them their shots and a checkup, gives you a coupon for a free checkup as well, and has a 30 day return policy if it gets sick or you just can't get along with it. And I bet it is cheaper too. Not much more you can ask for, I feel.

I saw a horse step *right* on a kitten once and stand there for like 10 seconds with just a tail sticking out. I was expecting the kitten to be hamburger when it moved its hoof but it jumped up and ran into the barn apparently unhurt. I don't know if the horse just didn't put any weight on it or what but I was pretty amazed. The horse was tied to a fence so it wasn't like walking and stepped on it, but it picked up a foot and set it down directly on the kitten.

My cat went AWOL 3 days ago, I live at the top of a 5 story building and it most likely fell down the street. I've spent the last 3 days looking for her. Turns out she indeed fell and was hiding on some wooden planter. She's at the vet now to run exams but the last 3 days spent looking for her was mentally exhausting. I found her randomly hitting planters around the neighbourhood and call her name, and she finally answered back!
She's at the vet now, running exams but I'm so relieved!

Poor thing, hopefully shes ok. I know cats are basically rubber and can survive crazy falls, but that doesnt make it any less scary.
