Nah, it's just; no love for adult cats? I don't even like cats. But adoptable cats, dogs, and kids all get the short end of the stick. People want to squee and then drop them.

What about the stupid expensive clothing, accessories, and bullshit tie ins design to extract every dollar from your kid's attachment to it?

"Returned her"

Sadly, you really don't need a foreign bride to do this. He just isn't rich enough to pull the same deal with women here, so he needs to stack on a visa.
