This is my first experience with emotional blackmail ... I am so pissed I would love to hit something.
The guy I was dating was supposed to come pick up his belongings and leave my key on the kitchen table months ago. When I got home from work on Friday I noticed he had been here ... his belongings were gone and the bathroom door was closed with a note taped to the door saying "My name is Tommy ... I know I will have a good home here."
When I opened the door, there was a very sick kitty lying on the rug. His eyes were running and crusted over, scabs on his ears, some kind of open wound on his hind leg and wheezing when he breathed.
I called to find out what had happened to this kitty to leave him in such bad shape ... and he said "well nothing happened to him - just that our family doesn't believe in spending money on vet bills."
He knows I am having financially difficulty right now I said "well if you want me to take care of this kitty, I will need help with Vet bills to get him healthy." He said "No .... LOOK - if you don't want the cat just tell me and I will take him out and shoot him!"
He knows how I feel about animals. When I took him to the Vet today, the doctor said "I can't believe this cat was someone's pet!"
There is still a canoe of his in my back yard ... If I thought someone would buy a canoe in the middle of the winter, I would sell it and pay the vets bills with the money.
How could someone be such a jerk to me and cruel to an innocent animal?
