Re: Opinions please! Is this a good reason to NOT date someone?

Yeah, it sounds like he has an over-all attitude that animals are 'things' and not somebody. I'd have a hard time relating to that.

I've known people like that. They go through animals like crazy because they get them for the wrong reasons, then when they become inconvenient, they're outta there. Smiley Sad

Since he's a lawyer he most likely puts in long hours. Poor puppy must spend a lot of time alone. I'd think real hard about pursuing this relationship. I can't imagine someone doing what he did. Makes me wonder how he treated his cat after each peeing session.

'Those kind of people' sometimes 'brag' about doing things like that..........it's a 'power' type of message, and I would keep away. That type of thinking usually carries over into their personality and possibly letting you know how/that they want to be in control. p.s. It's possible that his cat had a simple UTI, easily remedied by a liquid antibiotic.

Four dates and you haven't mentioned you have cats?

Has he picked you up at your home?

I would not see him again -- why do you care what he thinks?

Would you feel safe leaving your cats with him???

It would be interesting to know how he interacts with his dog, how he treats it...does he seem to love the dog or is it just a possession? Have you ever seen him mistreat it? That's something I would want to know, because if I had any suspicion that he might mistreat it, I would report him first on suspicion of animal neglect or cruelty, and THEN tell him sayonara!

From what I can tell, he seems to be kind to the dog--but he does seem to see the dog as a possession. He travels with his work and keeps the dog in a kennel when he's gone. Although he has plenty of money, he told me that he leaves the dog in a cheaper kennel because the better one charged too much. I find that heartless, too. I think he should want the best for his dog.....again, he's an attorney and makes a lot of money. I think I've already decided that he is not someone I'm going to see again. I wonder how he'll respond when I tell him why.....

Drop his A S S. Who cares how he responds. He's a jerk and a cheap one at that.

If you stay with him, it will eventually be 'bad news' for your kitties.

That is a heartless thing to do....let alone say to a date. He should have kept it to himself. But, better that you know he is cruel and self centered now. See it as a good thing. People are who they are, and do not change for the better. I married a man who is not perfect...but he is kind, gentle and good natured. I love him for those traits.

Did he say anything else about the cat or the cat's condition before he euthanized the cat?

Just wondering if he told you anything else about the cat, such as if he ever took the cat to the vet, if the cat had a disease or was elderly, etc.

Re: Opinions please! Is this a good reason to NOT date someone?

Oh, and p.s. ....... I have a feeling that he will continue to mention what he did over and over again..........'Just wait and see'..........(Well, don't wait! Just leave him now.)

Re: Opinions please! Is this a good reason to NOT date someone?

gazelle: He didn't keep it to himself because he wanted to 'make a point'. JMO. He'll probably repeat it again and again. 'They' usually do. Sometimes they say things like that in a 'bragging' way, which is even worse.........
