PSA: Not everybody lives in Europe and North America
I live in a Europea country with a high standard of living. My cats are neutered/spayed, fully vaccinated and indoor-only.
However, thirty years ago, the standard of pet care in my country were quite different, only females were spayed if at all. Cats were indoor-outdoor and will rarely visit the vet. There were major social changes that led to a cultural shift in pet care.
Not every country in the world has gone through this changes. And where pet owners from those countries came to the subreddit for advice they are met with hostility. I have seen users berating a pet owner for not neutering their cat while living in a country at war. Other people have been called bad owners for not getting their pet to the clinic ASAP. There are four vet clinics in my town right now, when I was a little kid there was one clinic and a vet that take care of cows. You might be shaming a person for not taking their pet to a clinic that could be over 100 km away.
What I am trying to say is that we should educate people from all over the world while showing some grace. You cannot berate people for not enjoying the same first-world luxuries as we do.

Detectives be advised, two suspects. Determine from the expression on their faces which one did it
