Long ago stopped doing that because I found it foolish. For example, in about 4 months, summer residents on seaside offshore islands ($million houses etc) will abandon their pets to those islands. Year round residents (that I know) end up collecting cats by the tens starting in September. Crying about the pets? Not worth it because so many humans (even in college towns) have no problem abandoning the pets they so loved month earlier.
