no one said he/she was in pain?

it's just that the life of that cat is probably going to be more difficult than other cats. probably have troubles eating and such. it's sad.

[veN]

^ Exactly. And he's totally gonna have trouble making friends. :(

Ok no one said pain but I know someone was thinking it! :p I still don't see why it's sad however. It's a living breathing animal... who knows no different at that. Is it sad when a persons born with a third nipple, or six toes?


*Background, I work at at shelter for rescued and abondoned cats and a large percentage of the cats we rescue have physical abnormalities or chronic illness. Many of those who were to be put down soley for that reason, even showing no signs of *other* health problems, pain etc. Although they can't tell me their ok I have learned to read them fairly well. When you're around thousands of cats a year you get a feel for it. I in no way feel sorry or sad for these cats based on their diagnosis, only for the fact that they have been abandoned.

^yeah, but i mean having a split face is a little different than a third nipple or a sixth toe, don't you think? i just think the cat might have problems with vision, eating, breathing, smelling...things like that.

[crookedking]

ugh.

did they put it down yet?

[C_squared]

I think the little thing looks kinda cute.

Things like this aren't necessarily all bad. Hopefully it survives.

But it will also know no different... and no doubt will receive a lot more help/attention than if it had one face. We don't know how things are internally so it's difficult for us to argue what problems it may have, but you don't need to be able to see or smell to live.

I just thinking feeling sad for everyone/thing that's different or may encounter problems is any easy way for one to cleanse their conscious. They feel sad and then move on. I'd rather look at ways to better their life, make things easier (if they are difficult) etc.

I dunno, I guess look at it as how I would feel. If I had two faces I would not want people feeling sorry or sad for me.
