What do you do when you're lonely and have nothing to do?
Answer: Grab one of your 500 best friends and stroke it.
Okay, enough of the crude and pathetic attempt at a joke. An 83 year old woman in Virginia had some bizarre obsession with putty-tats because she was found housing nearly 500 cats, both dead and alive.
The woman was arrested in July and has plead guilty to animal cruelty after animal control entered her home as a result of neighbour complaints of a strong urine smell.
When animal control checked out the place, they found the house in disarray, smelling of feces, and the home was declared "unfit for human habitation".
The woman's daughter was also found housing her own bunch of kitty cats. In total, the two woman had 493 cats, but only 272 were alive.
At her sentencing, the 83 year old was told to get help for her hoarding problem and was fined $2500, given 360 days suspended jail sentence, and one year probation.
What is with people and their weird sh*t?
I mean, not too long ago, there was another obsessed pet lover in the form of an 61 year old man hoarding birds and now this.
Geez, that would be a match made in heaven if those two got together. Except, cats and birds don't really go together now do they? That's a couple doomed to constant fighting, typical of our own human relationships which claimed to be "a match made in heaven" during those heady courtship days.
Merry Christmas Peeps & Squeeks!
