There was a large amount of corruption leading to injustices.. I really hate injustice, I have a problem with it.. People made, what I consider bad choices.. which betrayed others.. And that never sits comfortably... But I began to question.. if I were in their position.. would I do the same? I'd hope not but can I really know? I can't, I cannot know their life history, their experiences and the things that led them to betray.. I felt very down about all this.. I hate to think that people are so easily corruptable.. where's moral fibre gone.. .where's loyalty.. but if I cannot guarantee that I wouldn't do the same, say to protect my family... and I am as bad as them... then surely I cannot judge others for their betrayals? Their lack of loyalty? I talked to my current counsellor about it.. He said that to betray, to be corruptable.... less

My first pedigree cat I *bumped into* when I went to meet a lady about a dog! We were looking for our first family dog and we went to meet the breeder.. to my surprise when we got there we were literally invaded by felines.. And I fell in love with the breed... I saw what I felt was THE most handsome feline ever, his name was Rupert! He was stunning! We got the dog... a puppy but I never forgot the cats... and eventually ended up with a kitten too.. The most awesome feline ever. I still remember his daddy's pedigree name. less
