Re: confessions

I don't think you're being fair. Virtually any cat or dog can nip when they get super stressed and overwhelmed. You'd have to be pretty dumb to expect that any cat you adopted never bites under any circumstance; part of having a pet is recognizing this. It's one thing to pretend an aggressive animal isn't aggressive, but a cat that gets overwhelmed in a stressful situation biting? I mean, not saying op should be lying, but when a shelter animal's life is on the line...

I never said anything about expecting an adopted cat to never bite anyone under any circumstance, though. And it's true that virtually any cat or dog can nip under special circumstances. However, thanks to philstar22's discovery, it's now KNOWN that this particular cat bit its handler while under stress - and bite hard enough to break the skin and draw blood. Not disclosing that to any potential owner is irresponsible and unfair to the animal as well as the owner.

nah it's not. any owner should assume that they have to treat their cat respectfully and give it space when it gets stressed. it would be unfair and irresponsible not to.

Er, what now? I've adopted rescue dogs before and responsible rescues are VERY honest with you about the dog's history and potential problems, if they know it. Of course every animal should be treated respectfully, but if an animal has a history of behavioral issues, they may need careful handling above and beyond what you normally do for an animal who does not have a track record of behavioral issues.

If a rescue lies about an animal's past history and behavioral issues, they are 100% to blame if there's an incident later and the animal pays for that mistake. THAT'S why they disclose these things.
