Good on ya, Dave. I'm not big on cats but I hate animal abuse/abusers with every fiber within me. We have 6 dogs . . . all rescues. Two of them are either on my lap or asleep at my feet all the time, two do the same with my bride and two pretty much like to be by themselves. Had a friend ask me how we ended up with 6 dogs, I replied "the same way you got all of your kids - one at a time."
Kudos to you, again, Dave.
