We all know that pets can quickly become family members, and sometimes, we feel the need to protect them just like we would our own children. That’s what happened when a daughter had to stand up to her own mother after she insulted her newly adopted kitten. The kitten, named Steve, was born without a tail, and the mom just couldn’t help but make rude comments about his appearance. But when things escalated, the daughter had to make a tough decision.
