Default Woman Let's Go Of Cat To Survive

A woman in this story due to the floodwaters caused by Hurricane Ivan
actually let her cat's cage (yes with the cat inside) go so she could
survive. This is horrible. It just goes to show you that some people care
more about themselves in a crisis situation. Her response about the whole
situation of letting her cat go was the following:

""All of these material things I'm thinking about floating down the river
don't mean a hill of beans," she said. "I do miss my kitty, though."

I find it disgusting that there are plenty of people like this who take such
a passive view. I can only picture with sadness as this cat is meowing and
meowing as he/she floats (or probably went under the water causing the cat
to drown) down the floodwaters while the human waves goodbye. My only hope
is that this woman does not get another cat.

You can read the entire story here.

Would it have been better if both she and the cat drown?

She didn't need to let the cat go especially with the poor feline inside the
cage. I would have done everything possible to make sure the cat was also
saved. This woman also took a rather passive view at the whole thing as if
to treat this cat as an object. That cat was a life and she let that cat
drown so she could save herself. I have to wonder if she would have done
this to another human.

If my pets were going to die, I'd probably prefer to be dead
myself. I couldn't live with the guilt of having let them go
to their death.

Dont judge the woman by the one single quote the reporter chose to use. She may
be totally devasted by the loss of her cat for all you know.

I see my cats as my kids so as a parent I'd risk my life to save them.
