This was made even worse because the wicked old s*d used to let the mother rear them for 7 or 8 weeks and then do it, and by then of course, the kittens had their eyes open and were growing well. I told my husband that if he had the females neutered in the first place, they wouldn't be forever producing more kittens for his father to kill!!
I never felt FIL approved of me. . .

I can picture it know my uncle searching the barns and out buildings for the kittens , sometimes they were few weeks old when he found them , he just had no feelings towards animals , like one of his dogs , I basically grew up with one of his dogs for 14 years , she was getting old and basically no use to him , one Sunday we were waiting at the table for tom before dinner was serve , heard a bang , tom walk into the kitchen with one of his shot guns , and he said I just put down sandy , no more said and he started to eat his food , no emotions just job done , I was so angry ,
