They didn't abandon the cat, it was a cat who was let out when he wanted that just decided to go to our door. I fully agree that anyone who abandons pets should be banned from ever being able to have one, but it's not the case here. They, the "owners", said that they had started looking at places that would take him in to be adopted by someone else (not that I can say if it's true or not). They got the cat before their kids were born, and they realised the kids and the cat don't work together. Only negative I can say about the parents is that they decided to get rid of the cat instead of teaching their kids to not be assholes towards animals.
