You're story breaks my heart Cutter. I don't know how many times I would try to do the right thing but a situation I thought I had under control would go tits up before you would blink. I started thinking I was worse for the animals than if I had just left them out on their own. Don't fall into that trap like I did. The only consolation I can offer is that at the end of the day, love them as much as we do, they're still animals, and sometimes they do things we can't understand.
