Your adult child might also have the idea that you would behave the way you always have—by taking care of him—rather than expecting him to pitch in more. All of these things will add to the tension of the situation. Typically, your adult child will take out her frustrations on the sa...
And this is really why I wrote this book. I want to change people’s attitudes towards street cats, raising compassion for an animal that is either hated or overlooked. I also hope that the book will help people connect with others who care for street cats, ask questions, share experiences...
