God, yes.
Show some compassion. Koreans generally treat them poorly. IF the cats get sick, they often just throw them out to die in the streets & won't sacrifice the money needed to heal them back to health.
So many of these poor cats just need some love, proper food & attention.
Yopu may also have to discipline them in order to keep their noses out of the garbage can. They HAVE been living out on the streets don't forget.
I have two at my place; one from Canada, another adopted HERE from off of the streets.
Take them to the vet & have them checked out. Chances are the cat is fine. Have you bathed it?
Worst case scenario, shelter & care for the cat until someone else offers to ADOPT them.
Poor kitty

Not all Koreans are bad pet owners. My girlfriend loves our kitten more than anyone could.
The friend who gave her to us once gave two kittens away to a Korean woman who was single and had some kids. She at first seemed perfect, but then she got mad because the cats "played too much" so she returned one. She wouldn't return the other; she figured if she just separated them then it would crush their spirits. Biatch. |

| My cat friend in the parking lot is looking great now. I bought a brush just for him and gave him a whole thing of those tuna-like...um...bars...that you buy in the convenience store and after a meal of that and twenty minutes of brushing he was trying to make friends with everyone that came into the parking lot, which seemed to surprise them all. He had a little bit of the sullen alley-cat look to him when I first met him but that's all gone again. |

So MITH ... you gonna take the cat in?
Fish isn't so good for some felines.
Apparently its what put one of mine mine in the hospital & led him to undrgo emergency surgery for a removal of a couple nasty stones. F(eline) U(rinary) S(yndrome) of the most serious kind 
EARLY CASTRATION can also be a huge problem.
Apparently we're to wait until between 6 and 9 months  |

Just want to ask why you chose your ID? Our cat, aged 4, is called yamyam! |
 My cat's middle name is Yam (chosen because it's my middle name spelled backwards...) and we call him Yammy or Yamyam or Yamster (sometimes also Sir Yam-a-lot). Totally lame, I know... 
where did your cat's name come from? |

Dearest RACETRAITOR and Lemonade,
Good grief, it's only a cat. Anyway, I've had plenty of cats, and took real good care of them. Just that particular one was being very troublesome. |

Don't take it personally. I just enjoy kicking humans who are mean to animals. |

You are only a human, an expendable one among a population of 6,446,131,400 (July 2005 est.) people and growing. You are not special, just another brink in the wall that takes up space and uses natural resources that are dwindling.
When you were a child and being troublesome to your elders maybe they should have treated you in the same manner as you treated that cat. Maybe they did? Psychopaths abuse animals because they take pleasure in doing so and they see nothing wrong with it. They are incapable of understanding morals. All serial killers started out killing and torturing animals before they moved on to humans. |
