Cats rescued from a horrible situation

[Catherine]

Why don't people use garbage cans? It is not that hard to throw out garbage. Why do people keep things that should be thrown out.

I went somewhere that was a tiny one room apartment in a basement(part of my job is situations like this). It had a three seater chesterfield that was piled high with what turned out to be poopy underwear. There were 6 garbage bags of it. I should know. I hauled it all to the garbage cans. 
Every time his underwear got dirty he just tossed it on the chesterfield  and got out a new pair. 

I guess it is not much different to leave two cats in a house. Once you have done it and lost control of the situation it will just keep getting worse and you won't know how to fix it.

I wonder that no one else noticed and did something sooner.
