how is putting a cat up for adoption the
same as dumping?

The cat is having innapropriate elimination problems that started when
the baby came. Instead of asking for help finding a solution (which I'm
sure there is) the owner just wants to get rid of a *13 year old* cat.
That's why it's considered "dumping."

If this person is so irresponsible as to
trade a precious feline life for a baby
human life, perhaps she doesn't deserve a
cat in the first place.

Maybe not, but I would hope she would take the offer of help and learn a
thing or two about cause and effect rather than consider the cat
disposable. It's also very difficut to adopt out an old cat with
elimination problems, and if this cat goes to a shelter it will be
killed. Sometimes people are simply ignorant and don't know there are
solutions and it's always worth a try to offer help. I would like to see
this issue resolved and the cat keep the only home it has known for the
last 13 years.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
