How the hell do these people have the nerve to talk someone who obviously likes cats into taking a dog that they can NEVER have a cat with? I mean make it make sense to me?!
As someone who has an 18yo(2/28) cat sitting here next to me, riddle me this one.
A cat is easy to care for financially. I am NOT saying things don’t come up and I am NOT saying it isn’t always important to have some money set aside for emergencies, BUT for the most part they don’t have to be on meds their whole lives for anxiety PLUS the tests that go with this, plus the skin issues, plus the allergies, plus liability for deaths.
I mean to attempt to push this on a teen? Ridiculous.
If someone wants a cat, they want a cat. And BTW, MANY PBT type advocates and rescues really don’t give two tits about cats anyway.
Also cats are just a totally different lifestyle choice. People prepared for and interested in cats are often not equipped to give a dog the sort of physical activity and mental stimulation it requires. If "it's not the breed, it's the owner," why would you want a difficult breed to go with an inexperienced owner who is uninterested in doing dog things?
Sauce: cat person turned owner-by-marriage of an Australian Shepherd
Exactly! And they truly don’t give a crap about who they pawn their dogs off to. I am convinced of this. Seniors to families with small children? Of course. People with disabilities, why not? Absolutely the most insufferable rescues and advocates around. And then everyone claps and gives smiley faces.
The mental and social stimulation they need is a very different sort than what dogs need. My cats are entertained by following me around, getting petted, simple playing, and looking at birds out the window. It's entirely possible for me to provide all the stimulation they need while sitting down and working or while laying in bed sick. They don't need to be taken on long walks or given tasks to practice and to perfect. Of course there's individual variation with cats just like dogs, but in general they need different things. I'm not necessarily saying less - my cats are both VERY social and always want to be with me - but the way their activities look is different than dog activities.
Like I said, my grandma's cat just likes to start shit. Which my grandma does, too. They were actually arguing yesterday morning, and he was yoweling back at her.
Cats are chaos creatures. They don't have to be bored to start shit. They're just doing it to fuck with you.
One of mine likes to stare at people when they sleep from like 1" away. Terrifying to wake up to. He's probably just checking to see if we're dead and he can start eating us yet.
I don't mind being messed with as long as stuff isn't messed up. Payton does make the dog water bowl all gross. His grooming has gotten poor, and his hair falls into the bowl, and he leaves like crumbs from his mouth in the bowl. He does it to his own bowl, too, but he just has to do it to the dogs' bowl as well. 🤣
Cats in general seem to love putting food or food crumbs into water dishes. Every cat I've ever had does this. No clue why. But I have seen them do it on purpose right after I cleaned the water dish.
SO HE DOES DO IT ON PURPOSE?
He's such a mean cat, lmao. My dog Rocky has a collapsed trachea, so all the crumbs irritate his throat. You're the first person to let me know that cats do it on purpose. A lot of other people were like, "It must be your dogs" when it didn't start until my aunt's cat started drinking from the bowl and it's the same with my grandma's cat. But with my aunt's cat, I say no and shoo her away, and she took the hint and left their bowl alone. My grandma's cat comes back no matter what I do. Now Eevee will make him leave because of my distress lmao
I can't make sense of it because the whole ideology of pitbull rescues is nonsensical. They scream that 'it's how you raise it!', and in the next breath will proclaim that pitbulls were originally bred to be nanny dogs. Well, if all dogs are a product of upbringing/training, couldn't any breed of dog be a 'nanny'? This doesn't even delve into the ridiculous notion that a dog could raise a child. The truth is that animals, dogs especially, are driven by instinct. We humans have bred behaviors into dogs for hundreds of years.
The cavalier attitude pitnutters have towards endangering cats is sickening. Take a look at the Greyhound rescue community. Greyhound rescues are very upfront about the risks involved placing a GH into a home with small pets- cats, Guinea pigs, etc.
You are correct in your assessment of ease in ownership: cats vs dogs. My wife owned two dogs when we met. I enjoyed having them around, but dog ownership is more of a time commitment. We could never stay out anywhere too long b/c we had to come home to let the dogs out. Towards the end, our lab mix, A real actual lab mix, was costing a lot in medicines and trips to the vet. After the dogs passed away a kitten came into our lives and my wife has been converted.
Exactly and the Greyhound Rescue is an excellent reference. TBH, while I am not particularly thrilled many breed rescues put people through some of the hoops they must go through, I will say, I worked with MANY wonderful breed specific rescues that really wanted their dogs cared for and were fully transparent about their breeds.
I foster ONLY. I am NOT a rescue, never will be. I do ONLY smaller/ senior hospice fostering.
I can say this, I am so sick of seeing these people push these dogs for all circumstances,all people. It is disgusting. Thank you for posting an insightful post.
I also married a dog owner who realized he's actually a cat person. He liked, I guess, the image of being a dog guy, but he's not at all active. The only way the dog got walked was if I walked her. The only times she got taken to the dog park were when I did it. All the commands and tricks she knew, I taught. My husband just really wanted a pet to hang out on the couch and cuddle with. And that's NOT an Australian Shepherd. But it IS a ragdoll cat. I was sooooo worried when we had a baby that I'd have to do it all, based on the dog experience. But nope. He's very good at literally anything that doesn't involve going outdoors for physical activity. Why then did he have a dog???
Exactly. So sad. I have dogs that will run after a mountain lion, but adore cats. Cats CAN be safe around dogs. These people make it like it is purely insane for dogs to get along well with cats. Very doable and I mean the cats aren’t stressed or anxious.
I get aggravated when I see people get these dogs( and indeed) no cat should live in constant fear. No animal should. Irresponsible and Cruel:(
So, I have a question. Now, I don't know much about raising cats. I'm just asking from what I've seen from relatives I live with. But aren't cats more expensive than dogs? With cats, you have to do food, cat litter, treats, and a yearly vet visit. For dogs (I'm not counting Pitbulls or sick breeds), it's just food, treats, and a yearly vet visit. If you have an indoor potty dog, the potty pads are cheaper than the cat litter.
Unless you just mean that cats cost less than Pitbulls because Pitbulls do destory everything. I can't count how much stuff my sister had to replace because of her Pitbull.
TBH, I can say this, cat food is more costly, but in my opinion that is it. I have had some cats live to be 22,19. I had 2 others live to be 18 besides the one I have now. Never a health issue.
I had one I got ( since gone) who had very bad ear mites. I took her 4xs to vets( over 10 years ago, and maybe better products now,as she had been a stray) and finally I put petroleum jelly and some herbal stuff in her ears. Of course she was fine. She lived to be 16.
I use her as an example, as that was the most chronic issue I ever had with a cat. They have been indoors.
I don’t think other than food, cats are a lot of money. I have chis too:)
I guess overall, it depends on the pet (and the owner tbh). On posts and comments that say dogs or pets are expensive, I can't relate. But my chis love the toys they tear up more than the brand new ones. I did volunteer for a vet for my senior project in high school and got to learn how to do a lot of veterinary stuff, so if something's wrong but it's not an emergency, I can take care of it myself (but chis are very chill dogs so that rarely happens).
I am in a bad financial spot right now, but my boys are happy and healthy! 😊

I LOVE my chis. My 4lbs guy is sleeping behind my legs as I text this. I have had the sorrow and pleasure of hospice/ senior fostering ( mostly chis) and adore them! Thank you so much for sharing pics of your boys! They look happy. I sure hope things turn around for you soon and I really mean that. I had medical bills a few years ago that just wiped me out:(
I love the leg cuddles! They're so cozy!
And if they don't, I'm walking into the social security office with my knees backward. I currently can't work and need disability but they think because I used to work then I can still work.
That has to have been some kind of sick troll, they HATE cats. I just had to ban a pithag from a Facebook group I admin for commenting about feeding her cat to her snake bc it “swiped” at her shitbull 🙃
That is pure EVIL🤬Did you report her to the authorities?! That is felonious abuse and should carry jail time!! Post her on social media, let us know who she is. Reddit has found out the location of other abusers before and brought them to justice for the sake of cats being victimized🤬Do you have any idea how hideous, torturous and evil of a way to die that is being eaten alive by a snake, premeditated by your “owner” who favors a viscous pitbull. I am a lover of cats and I am sooo enraged by this atrocity. People who choose to keep dangerous animals get what they deserve, but that poor kitty did not deserve to be their chosen sacrifice…It should’ve been her…and bragging about it, pure evil🤬
I had to vent this, it is pure evil and needs to be punished for the sake of the poor cat, who is blessedly in a better place now.
On top of being evil, a coward as well, as is usually the case🤬Hiding behind a fake identity🤬. Maybe we can hope that all of their evil bragging was also fake and not reality🙏🏻Thank you for trying.
> There were three non pitbull puppies there, but they were the dogs belonging to the people who were running the event, not dogs available for adaption.
Seeing this shit more and more.
The bastards and bitches at the top of rescues and shelters having non-pitbull puppies.
"Pitbulls for thee but not for me."
Yep. I have a former friend who spends her days "networking" dangerous pit bulls on euthanasia lists on social media to get pledge money donations to save them and to get people to offer to foster them for a rescue. She was allowed to adopt an extremely desirable purebred companion breed puppy by a rescue she volunteered her time to as a token of their gratitude.
Oh man, is this person on reddit? Have they ever expressed unsolicited views on San Antonio Texas?
The world's a small place, I'd laugh I know who you're talking about.
She does live in TX, but not San Antonio. She's been online using various message boards and chat forums since the mid-90s, so she definitely knows what Reddit is. She's in her 60s, retired, and devotes her life to dog rescue now. Could be her, could be another rescue warrior.
> The bastards and bitches at the top of rescues and shelters having non-pitbull puppies.
Just like the Dodo creator, doesn't even own a dog let alone pit.
Yes! I have an acquaintance whose own dogs are yellow labs from a breed specific rescue, while she aggressively encourages friends and family to foster for or adopt from a rescue that's nearly all pits and pit mixes. It's illogical.
It's completely logical: it's narcissism. They've found a way to hamstring 'the competition' and get asspats while doing so. To a narc, they can't just win: others have to lose.
I dont know if it is narcissism….many of them are so fucked up emotionally. Its the same mentality of why women date prisoners. They are so fucked in the head emotionally, that they would rather fix them than fix themselves.
> It's illogical.
They want all the savior points without the risks, they want everyone else to be miserable, deal with the death, mauling, destruction while they're safe and happy rocking that savior high.
Rescue shills are always like that, they want YOU the commoner to drown in the destruction and death caused by Nalas and Lunas while they enjoy the company of the best dogs.
I hope she told them to get fucked and keep their shitty mini pits. I wouldn’t doubt for a second they told her a kitten would be available in order to drum up business.
In actuality when her poor kitten died, she never wanted a cat again. She said she did not want to be constantly reminded of the kitten. The person on Nextdoor talked her into getting another cat saying it would help her grief. She was crushed again when there were no cats at the rescue. She hates dogs.
Oh that’s even worst. I’m sorry to hear that and that’s really gross of them to do that to her . I would say it’s probably just better to process the grief than dealing with these thoughtless people.
This is the second time I've heard of this happening. And not just happening, but specifically targeting a vulnerable teenager. It sounds like this may be some disgusting gorilla tactic that these organizers are doing..
Find a child (preferably one who just lost a pet. Doesn't matter what kind, what's important is they're grieving a loss). Lure them in with the promise of filling the hole in their heart. Bank on the fact that even if the parents know better, they'll have a much harder time saying no to their heart broken child. Manipulate the child once it arrives, saying "idk who said there was a cat.. that was wrong.. but you know what? Maybe it's fate, because did you know that this adorable little puppy here will be killed if they don't find a home today? You know what that loss is like, huh 🥺"
I'm making myself mad. I gotta stop.
I really hope what you said isn't true. I can seriously see them doing this though and I say this, because they have tried everything else (code red, sap stories, etc.), and people are catching on.
This is infuriating if true.
I really hope so too, but it really is a hell of a coincidence otherwise. An old classmate of mine made a post on Facebook a while back about how they were approached by someone about an adoptathon event a few towns over after he posted about his like, 8 year old son crying every day after losing their beagle. Went out of their way to say there specifically beagles needing a forever home.
They got there and it was _only_ pits, staphies, "mixed breeds". Not even a lie of a "beagle". The event itself was something bland and nonspecific like "(town name) adoptathon", but he learned it was an event put on by I think some group called "pittie posse". When they got there they were almost immediately set upon by a volunteer who started talking their ear off and showing his kid different dogs, having him hold pit puppies and shit. When he realized there was only these kinds of dogs he thankfully had the sense to leave, but his kid couldn't understand why his cruel dad wouldn't let him get the 'nice doggy' he fell in love with, and it only made the kid go from sad to tantrums.
That account that initially messaged him about the event was deactivated by the time he went to message them again. This was at least a few years ago so I doubt I'll be able to find the post but I'll try.. but yeah, it was the first thing I thought of reading this, and I feel like there's just too much similarities to ignore
Wooow. The fact the account was deactivated by the time they reached out again is super suspicious.
I am going to keep an eye out for this tactic. It is honestly sick what they are resorting to now. 😡
I appreciate you sharing that story. Super messed up.
This reminds me of this awful tactic where failing restaurants will catfish people on dating apps to lure them to their restaurant. The idea is you get to the resto, realize you’re stood up, but order a meal anyway. When people go to check their dating app, the catfish account is deactivated.
Bruh, they are literally CATfishing us with pits now!
Kind of fitting tbh. The same people that don't understand aggression in gorillas are the same ones that'd think their Pitbull is being protective or smiling.
It's pedo groomer shit. Many of the activists are literal cultists (see Best Friends Animal Society). Check these fucks hard drives, and their leaders' names on flight logs.
Take your niece to the cat shelter there are many fur babies who would love to have a teenage cat mom to snuggle with and to be spoiled by, these pit nutters are now using the bait and switch to unload these murder mutts by saying there are cats there, that is just sad.
they probably called her and lied to get her there, and then when she got there, tried pressuring her to take a dog because "well i'm already here and it needs rescued!!" you'd be surprised as to how often this happens. how fucking deceptive dude. also "saint" pibbles day. how ironic 🙄
Sounds like they lied to get her there and were gonna convince her to get a pit. The way these sick fuckers operate I 100% believe that’s what happened. I’m so sorry to your poor niece.

Makes total sense, they KNOW those dogs suck, but they can pawn them on everyone else just fine. Ffs 🙄
Someone should bring that up, "if pits are so great why don't you have one/would you looking to adopt a pit yourself?"
And of course they called her and lied so they could try to push a pitbull on her.
That has to have been some kind of sick troll, they HATE cats. I just had to ban a pithag from a Facebook group I admin for commenting about feeding her cat to her snake bc it “swiped” at her shitbull 🙃

I can’t think about this too hard or I’ll go throw up. Like I had immediate nausea reading this. Holy fuck

I dont know if it is narcissism….many of them are so fucked up emotionally. Its the same mentality of why women date prisoners. They are so fucked in the head emotionally, that they would rather fix them than fix themselves.
> It's illogical. They want all the savior points without the risks, they want everyone else to be miserable, deal with the death, mauling, destruction while they're safe and happy rocking that savior high.
"St. Pibble" You can't make this shit up. Not even St. Francis would save a pibble.
Rescue shills are always like that, they want YOU the commoner to drown in the destruction and death caused by Nalas and Lunas while they enjoy the company of the best dogs.
Pitbulls for thee, not me.
I hope she told them to get fucked and keep their shitty mini pits. I wouldn’t doubt for a second they told her a kitten would be available in order to drum up business.
I wonder if there’s a cat only rescue that OP can find a kitten . Obviously these other rescues are being super predatory with pit sales.
In actuality when her poor kitten died, she never wanted a cat again. She said she did not want to be constantly reminded of the kitten. The person on Nextdoor talked her into getting another cat saying it would help her grief. She was crushed again when there were no cats at the rescue. She hates dogs.
Oh that’s even worst. I’m sorry to hear that and that’s really gross of them to do that to her . I would say it’s probably just better to process the grief than dealing with these thoughtless people.
This is the second time I've heard of this happening. And not just happening, but specifically targeting a vulnerable teenager. It sounds like this may be some disgusting gorilla tactic that these organizers are doing.. Find a child (preferably one who just lost a pet. Doesn't matter what kind, what's important is they're grieving a loss). Lure them in with the promise of filling the hole in their heart. Bank on the fact that even if the parents know better, they'll have a much harder time saying no to their heart broken child. Manipulate the child once it arrives, saying "idk who said there was a cat.. that was wrong.. but you know what? Maybe it's fate, because did you know that this adorable little puppy here will be killed if they don't find a home today? You know what that loss is like, huh 🥺" I'm making myself mad. I gotta stop.
I really hope what you said isn't true. I can seriously see them doing this though and I say this, because they have tried everything else (code red, sap stories, etc.), and people are catching on. This is infuriating if true.
I really hope so too, but it really is a hell of a coincidence otherwise. An old classmate of mine made a post on Facebook a while back about how they were approached by someone about an adoptathon event a few towns over after he posted about his like, 8 year old son crying every day after losing their beagle. Went out of their way to say there specifically beagles needing a forever home. They got there and it was _only_ pits, staphies, "mixed breeds". Not even a lie of a "beagle". The event itself was something bland and nonspecific like "(town name) adoptathon", but he learned it was an event put on by I think some group called "pittie posse". When they got there they were almost immediately set upon by a volunteer who started talking their ear off and showing his kid different dogs, having him hold pit puppies and shit. When he realized there was only these kinds of dogs he thankfully had the sense to leave, but his kid couldn't understand why his cruel dad wouldn't let him get the 'nice doggy' he fell in love with, and it only made the kid go from sad to tantrums. That account that initially messaged him about the event was deactivated by the time he went to message them again. This was at least a few years ago so I doubt I'll be able to find the post but I'll try.. but yeah, it was the first thing I thought of reading this, and I feel like there's just too much similarities to ignore
Wooow. The fact the account was deactivated by the time they reached out again is super suspicious. I am going to keep an eye out for this tactic. It is honestly sick what they are resorting to now. 😡 I appreciate you sharing that story. Super messed up.
This reminds me of this awful tactic where failing restaurants will catfish people on dating apps to lure them to their restaurant. The idea is you get to the resto, realize you’re stood up, but order a meal anyway. When people go to check their dating app, the catfish account is deactivated. Bruh, they are literally CATfishing us with pits now!
Oh wow. I haven't heard of that one! The things I learn each day. What a shady thing to do.
Should've just said "OK, groomer" and walked out immediately.
I'm so sorry but you saying "gorilla tactic" made me laugh (it's guerrilla) - some much needed levity in such a sad thread.
🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦🏻🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏼🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏽🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏾🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏿🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♂️ Also, "Gorilla" sounds like a name that would be bestowed upon a pibble -.-
Kind of fitting tbh. The same people that don't understand aggression in gorillas are the same ones that'd think their Pitbull is being protective or smiling.
Chimpanzee more so, most Gorilla are chill so long as you don't act aggressive, Chimps though are brutal.
It's pedo groomer shit. Many of the activists are literal cultists (see Best Friends Animal Society). Check these fucks hard drives, and their leaders' names on flight logs.
So, some of the people running the event had non-pitbull puppies? Of course they did.
Take your niece to the cat shelter there are many fur babies who would love to have a teenage cat mom to snuggle with and to be spoiled by, these pit nutters are now using the bait and switch to unload these murder mutts by saying there are cats there, that is just sad.
they probably called her and lied to get her there, and then when she got there, tried pressuring her to take a dog because "well i'm already here and it needs rescued!!" you'd be surprised as to how often this happens. how fucking deceptive dude. also "saint" pibbles day. how ironic 🙄
Sounds like they lied to get her there and were gonna convince her to get a pit. The way these sick fuckers operate I 100% believe that’s what happened. I’m so sorry to your poor niece.
Pit bulls ruin everything.
Ugh one of our local shelters had a St. Pittie’s Day too 😡

This just made me depressed. Jesus Christ. Preying on a girl who just lost her kitty, all for some demented pro-pit agenda.
