I've figured it out! I'm just too old-fashioned for suicidegirls! Everyone on here is so fast-paced. I still let my cats go outside and I'm insane. This is the THIRD time I've been bitched out in a SG group. This time because I asked if anyone else's cat has ever just disappeared. I was leading to talking about rumors I've heard in my area about people who capture and shoot peoples' pets. But nobody feels the least bit sorry for me since my cat disappeared. They feel bad for the cat (and that's great) but not the least bit bad for me. And not only is that how they feel, but they had to make it very apparent in a public group. I honestly don't understand. I feel like I've just been sent forward a hundred years in time and the whole world has suddenly changed! Or like I'm in a foreign country or something. You might as well tell me to eat my cat as tell me not to let it outside (especially in the quiet neighborhood we live in). If I lived in the city or near a busy street, hell no I wouldn't let him outside. But Loki rarely leaves our property except to go into the adjacent woods or the neighbor's backyard to play with her cats. He's never been near the street (long driveway). I don't see what the big fuss is. But I'm tired of writing these journal entries to vent. And I'm tired of all the shit that's been thrown my way the past week. I've been treated like a pagan in a Protestant church about 50 times in the past week. I feel GREAT! Not.
