Lesley who has lost her heart to the black and white boy who wouldn't play with a dog and Sooty whose so called slaves expected a year old cat to sit on their laps and purr all day- they'd love mine- it's noteworthy when one of them does sit on a lap for more than 30 seconds Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Aggie, a feral cat, who was chosen because she is so beautiful (a black and silver tabby) was given away because she wouldn't play with the new puppy!

What were they *thinking*??? Jill >They're obviously all fidiots! One woman could afford to go on holiday but >not to keep her 7 year old cat in the cattery while she was gone! I hope >she had a horrible holiday. And that wee 8 week old, locked away in a shed? >What were they *thinking*??? Sadly they probably weren't thinking when they got the cats in the first place. I mean getting a Persian and then dumping the poor cat because no-one had time to brush the coat? Look at a Persian- doesn't it obviously have long hair? Does long hair need brushed?

In Cardiff this weekend a momma cat was left with her 4 kittens tied in a black plastic bag, 5 1 week old kittens were dumped in a bucket, a cat was thrown in the Taff with a birck around its neck, and a dog was set on fire. My own Cleo was taken to the vet to be PTS because she no longer matched the furniture. Fortunately the vet said no.

But really, these people are IDIOTS. You don't get pets to match the carpet. You don't throw away kids who wet the bed when they're 5 or 6. Won't use the litterbox? Maybe there's a physical reason? Why on earth would someone think to take a cat to the vet? Jill >> I wish that shelters could publish the names/addresses of those idiots >> in a list, along with the picture of the pet.

My cat, Cleo, was taken to the vet to be PTS because she no longer matched the furniture. Their loss, my gain. I also know of a deaf white cat who was taken to be PTS at the vet because the owners no longer wanted a white cat and they were changing the paint decor. I know that story to be true because I was the one who handled the paperwork. (He ended up with the vet and AFAIK is living a long and happy life). I know of 2 ginger cats who were taken to be PTS because the owner didn't want to pay for them to be neutered and they had started to spray (they ended up in rescue), and I also know of a yorkshire terrier who was PTS because the owner didn't want him anymore, but felt that he wouldn't love anyone as much as her.... The more I learn about people, the more reclusive I become and the more I like my pets.

Helen M *** When my late mother-in-law was getting ready to move into a mobile home, she planned to have her cat PTS. We were going to volunteer to take the cat, but it died before she got around to taking it to the vet. At least that's what she said. She might have realized from our reactions that we weren't happy about her decision (to put it mildly) and didn't tell us she had done it. Joy Rufus' owner is the only one who does not receive a complimentary Phantom Piddling from Nocturne. If that person found themselves homeless 3 times, it makes sense for them to try to rehome Rufus while they get their own life together, rather than force the cat to live nomadically along with them. This is the reason I didn't have any pets during my nomadic years. I can live on people's couches, but I can't ask an animal to, it's not fair to the animal OR the people who are letting me crash with them. Smokey was alleged to be a "wild animal, a pest, a rabies/disease threat, he messed the garbage and his presence was obnoxious." As a forest dwelling feral the humane society rejected him because they "Don't accept wildlife." --Fil & Lap Smokey > > Why some people get rid of their pets > > >http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_... >Rufus' owner is the only one who does not receive a complimentary >Phantom Piddling from Nocturne.

It's funny now, when you see Smokey passed out with a santa hat on his head...not so funny when he needed a home asap and various people are telling us he's not adoptable. Honestly, I think Nocturne is more of a eccentric, ideosyncratic, tyrannical handful than Smokey, who pretty much just wants a bite of sandwich, a couch to pass out on and a roof over his head. --Fil >2.

It includes cats in glasses, wearing hats, masks, and costumes. I bet some of the pictures that Lori took would qualify as well. I'd love to see a jpeg with Smokey with a Santa hat on.

I just went along to a local college to be a subject for a student video project. I didn't realize until I was sitting in front of the camera that (a) I was wearing dark navy trousers of some synthetic material that built up an incredible static charge and (b) I'd had Splodge on my lap for a few hours last night, part of which I spent dematting his long Persian fur with my fingers. I was covered in strips and fluffy felty beads of Splodge wool. He is *not* dark navy (though he is probably laid-back enough to be dumped in a dye bath without complaining). I was in good company, one of the camera assistants had her arms covered in cat cuts. She'd adopted a feral kitten and he was still digging his claws in eight years later. I think she's one of us. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts <snip> > I was in good company, one of the camera assistants had her arms covered > in cat cuts.

Someone asked (I think only half-seriously) why I didn't send my cat to obedience school after I admitted she was the cause of all my scratches. It took Mandy (RB) a long time to learn that she didn't really need to stick her claws in me when playing or wanting to get my attention. Cheryl > Someone asked (I think only half-seriously) why I didn't send my cat to > obedience school after I admitted she was the cause of all my scratches. LOL. Back with Frank and Nikki, I sometimes complained that they woke me up early. A woman at work asked, 'can't you just tell them to shut up?' I said, 'Yes, sure, I can tell them anything. I can talk at them 'til I'm blue in the face, but they'll still do as they please.' SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > <snip> >> I was in good company, one of the camera assistants had her arms covered [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Cheryl LOL! I quickly sought another dermatologist, when one I consulted (for something totally unrelated) insisted on prescribing salve for the "rash" on my neck! (Mélisande likes to lie with her head under my chin, kneading - I keep moving her paws, but not quickly enough.) >Why some people get rid of their pets > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Slave of the Fabulous Furballs There are some sick fsckers in the world.

All my present owners were throwaways of one sort or another. Over years I've been to some very strange localities to pick up throwaways/abandoned/strays cats; just to name a few: pricey restaurants, radiologist's office, CT room in my hospital workplace, ER parking lots, fresh veggie-selling truck on street (violence involved there), abandoned neighborhood house, really bad 'hood at night in Miami, large apt. complex in CA next to I680. As for the dingbat hoomins...hopitus believes in gypsy lore..."what goes around, comes around".
