You often hear about animals being rescued from abusive owners, but I wonder, is there any help for pet owners who have been abused by their pets?
Is there even a support group, let alone a foster home, for all of us owners who have been beaten up by our pets? Dogs bite their owners, cats scratch them. In addition, cats will mentally torture their owners by giving them the cold shoulder (for years at a time!) or refusing to do anything they're told.
When I rescued Frank (a kitten who bounded out of the weeds onto the road when I was running one day), I thought that by taking her in, I'd have a better life. I'd have a kitty to love and to cherish, to hold and to cuddle, through richer and through poorer. And this has been mostly true for the past 13 years. When I am with her, I am happier than any other time. I bathe in her radiance and her light. Don't worry though. I do have a life outside of my cat's realm. I can't think of anything exactly, but I'm sure I do.
