I remember your coming onto the group to say you were going to pick up

I really would like to think that if the people who did that could see
what a beauty they did that to they would cry because they could have
had her as their owner....

NAH! I've heard of kitten's being drowned because the people involved
somehow thought it was the kindest thing to do but that's ignorance-
these people are willful sadists and I hope they got caught for it

It was pure sadism that was done to Miss Lily Whiskers and her siblings.
There is no excuse for it these days.
I was talking to my friend June the other day - she who is wonderful and
always comes to help me when I get ill or smash myself up and looks after my
critturs.
She is quite a lot older than me.  We discussed the disposal of unwanted
kittens when she was younger.  There was no spaying or neutering when she
was a child.
It was a given that if you had a female cat then she would have kittens
regularly, her father would not drown them but take them outside and bang
their head against the wall.

Aren't we so lucky now that we can get our cats neutered or spayed to avoid
this?  June said it used to upset her father so much to kill kittens.
I knew her father.  He only died last year aged 96.  He was a gentle man.

Imagine without neutering or spaying.

AFAIK, Yes. There were 5 or 6 incidences in about 3 weeks when kittens
turned up injured or dead. The RSPCA actually managed to successfully
investigate and prosecute but sadly their involvement was triggered by
me getting the local press involved first.

I'm happy that Miss Lily has been named the Daily Kitten yesterday.
And I think she's a sweet, adorable kitty. So I mean no disrespect
toward MLW or Helen, but I'm going to kill this thread. It's just
too upsetting... :'(

Have you bought Battlestar Galactica yet? ;o)
