Can I get my cat back?
I was wondering if I could get my cat back after giving him away under pressure. I have his veterinary and adoption papers to show that he was ours and that we did care for him. I spoke with a woman and asked if she was still interested and she said yes. She was going to come pick him up the same day. I told her it wasn't a good day for me, but she pressured me by saying that today was the only day she could do it. I told her we could try it out and see how it went. I never agreed to give her the cat. I realized when she came to my home to pick the cat up that I didn't want to go through with it and that I wanted him, but because she had driven from Studio City, I felt pressured to do it. She took the cat to her car and I quickly took him back and told her that I couldn't go through with it and that I didn't want to give him up. Once again she tried to pressure me and talk me out of it.I am pregnant and emotional and was not in my right mind so I gave the cat to her. I never said she could have the cat permanently. I called her four days later and said I wanted to have him back, and she at first agreed to give him back. 30 minutes later, she refused to give him back to me. There was struggle for me not only on the phone, but she persisted. Do I have a chance to get him back?

I find it infuriating how many stories reported by the media state "Pit Bull mauls woman" or "Pit Bull kills baby", and then later you find out it wasn't a Pit Bull, but was in fact a golden retriever or a poodle. Just before I moved out of Arizona, in fact, I saw a news story about a child who got killed by a "Pit Bull" in her friend's backyard. Upon viewing the photo of the backyard, it immediately became apparent that the dog was kept fenced up in a tiny corner of the yard, meaning that the child likely provoked the neglected dog. Then, the next night, on the scrolling bit of info at the bottom of the news, the station issued a probably-mostly-unnoticed correction; it wasn't a Pit Bull, it was a Golden Retriever. So, I'm curious, were they *really* Pit Bulls, or was it a pair of Dalmatians? They are pretty easy to mix up, after all, since they look so very, very similar.

"Vicious" is hardly a term anyone who's ever spent time with them would ever use to describe them. They have, in fact, been attacked several times by chihuahuas, a poodle, and a variety of other small breeds. Each time, they either backed off or rolled over on their backs and submitted to the dogs until we shooed the offending little demons away. It's not the breed, it's the owner.

Arguing about bite force is like saying which is worse a .45 or a 9mm. In the wrong owners hands, it doesn't matter. Any dog will bite under certain circumstances.

If your pit bull injures someone you may be criminally liable. Insisting that he has always been a lovely dog will not help you. You are held to a higher standard of care when you chose to own a pit bull. This is common sense. Owning a pit bull is similar but more dangerous than a handgun. You can control a handgun. Don't bring your pit bull around my family.

The worst that could possibly happen to your family is anaphylactic shock, and that's only if they're allergic to dog saliva, because my dogs love to lick new people.

Why? This is a breed that once they are sufficiently stimulated (especially when with other Pits) to be aggressive, they don't stop. (That's what they've been bred to do for generations). The result? Serious injuries and death - lots of documented cases on the Internet.
August 29 2012 at 4:03 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThey've been bred to be strong, hardy, and, above all, loyal to a fault. If an American Pit Bull Terrier attacks someone, that is because it was provoked to do so, either by the "victim" or by the owner. It's not that there are individual Pit Bulls in homes that don't kill or maim people, it's that there are individual ones that do because their owners wanted them to. I have two Pit Bulls, littermates, whom I leave home alone for most of the day on weekdays, and who have yet to maul one another to death(or, indeed, even drawing blood) after years of being left to themselves during the day.

August 29 2012 at 2:54 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyyou people who cite your singular personal experience are a further indictment to the failed educational system.information from the american society of emergency room physicians contains the fact that pit bull attacks are thirty times more likely to result in serious injury or death than attacks by ALL other varieties of our furry friends.(i could cite reports from the u.s.postal service to the same conclusion, but wont , since the wailing of pit bull mamas would be just piling on to their existential misery)
