Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Conan Update!
I just spoke with Katherine, the Kennel supervisor. She told me the same thing that Pam was told--he is recovering from his cold, and is in good shape and is up for adoption "this weekend." Katherine said that they do not have a set amount of time that they put cats up for adoption for until they are euthanized and that there are many cats that have been there a long time. (She seemed to be disputing that they are a "kill" shelter--but she did not get too specific, so who knows. We all know how it works. They get so many cats in.) She said he is a handsome boy and very adoptable. I asked if I could leave my name and telephone number so that I could be notified if he was not adopted in time. She said they do not do that but that we can keep calling back to check on his status. She will be there this weekend and Hector will be there on Monday. It seems to me that just as Pam says, he is in no danger right now, or even within a week or two from now. But I cannot get anyone to guarantee me they will call me if he is not adopted. She gave me another pet I.D. number--after ascertaining that it was indeed Phillip who returned him. (Nice of you to post using your own name you nasty old dirtbag.) It is A0700875. So we have a global forum here! Can we find someone who wants this big beautiful boy who is recovering well from his cold? The fee from the web site is $71-114.00. I will volunteer to pay the fee for anyone who wants him and will love him and take care of him. (I will pay the fee directly to the shelter, of course.) We could also take a collection and offer something to sweeten the pot. Maybe a few months of primo cat food? An arrangement with a local PetSmart or an online store, to prepay for cat food for him for the person who adopts him? You are all super. Conan does not have to die! Yippee!! > We could also take a collection and offer something to sweeten the pot. > Maybe a few months of primo cat food? > An arrangement with a local PetSmart or an online store, to prepay for cat > food for him for the person who adopts him? > > You are all super. Conan does not have to die! Yippee!! Yes, it's wonderful that he is still among the living. I'm surprised that they are not willing to make the phone call to keep someone advised of his status. Phil said he also left his name and # and requested to be contacted if Conan's "time" runs out. I would think, for a special circumstance, they would do that. I can't even think of any "regular" poster on this ng who is in CA. A transport from LA to you would be a very looooong ride for any kitty, esp. as Steve said, a sick kitty. It would be nice to get someone in LA who wants him. I don't know, there kinda has to be a point person and it's easier if the point person is in proximity to the kitty.

But that's not possible, because the post is out there in Usenet for anyone to see. You can't edit a post after it's sent, any more than you can edit an email after it's already in the recipient's mailbox. So I'm wondering how she thinks she removed it. And possibly hoping to educate about how Usenet works. Or maybe learn about something I didn't think existed.

I know that it's possible, but as I understand it it's not a clean procedure; it will only work for those machines that haven't already pulled the post to a local archive, and as you said, for the "some" servers that honor posts. So to my mind, cancelling a post is not 100% effective. But you're right; there is a cancel function and it does have some effect. On the other hand, I can still view this supposedly-cancelled post. The cancel probably does keep most spammers from extracting the address, though. Apparently, I can cancel a post via esc-^C, if I wanted to. Because a cancel invariably means that some people see a post and some do not, I avoid that kind of behavior to reduce confusion.

In fact, I was not *on* AOL when I made that post; I was on a different ISP altogether. Google has an option where you can remove your own posts. I did that and I no longer see it. Is it still there? If so, why can't I see it through Google? Candace >> Right. But that's not possible, because the post is out there in >> Usenet for anyone to see.

Do you really want to know how newsgroups work on a nuts and bolts level? Newsgroups are supported by a network of news servers. Google is one of thousands (more?) of news servers. When you post using google, google's servers then make the posts available to other servers, which make the post available to other servers, etc., until eventually all of the servers have received the message. Everybody who uses a newsgroup has some sort of client that retrieves messages from a server. Now, google does some things with its groups a little differently than a normal news server, but I'll assume that a google cancel is similar to a normal newsgroup cancel. When you cancel the post, a message goes out to all the newsgroups saying, "Get rid of this post." There are a few kinks, though. One, it takes a while -- sometimes a few days -- for all the servers to get the message. Two, it doesn't affect posts that users have already retrieved, so if someone's already seen it, there it stays. And three, some newsgroups don't honor message cancellations.

When you post using google, [snip] Candace's post may still be on news server spools, however she appears to have removed the post from Google's archives. I'm not sure that was necessary, since Google seems to be munging email addresses in posts now. If an actual cancel message went out, you're right, most servers won't acknowledge the cancel. I cannot cancel posts at my own ISP and I post with nn on a Unix shell (old school!). My experience is that places like Giganews don't honor cancels. Stacia (...) > Now, google does some things with its groups a little differently than > a normal news server, but I'll assume that a google cancel is similar > to a normal newsgroup cancel. It's not. A Google cancel deletes post from the archive, it doesn't (AFAIK) attempt to stop the post from propogating round news servers in the usual way. S. > It's not.

I don't know, but I tried it once when I was selling something and realized I had posted the URL wrong for the item. It said it was cancelled, but the next day, I found several replies telling me the address didn't work. And I cancelled it less than 5 minutes after I sent it. So, it didn't work.

Her attitude was, what's the big deal?

I feel much better about the shelter he's in after you all have talked to them. Isn't it amazing how the shelter was able to get him better but Phillip wasn't? I'm surprised they let him take a kitten after that. Anyway, I'm proud of myself that I found the right shelter :) I'll put something towards whatever Conan needs. I'm sure he will get adopted soon though. He's so handsome. Signature-Kelly > I feel much better about the shelter he's in after you all have talked to > them.

And my husband really does not want a third cat, though I think I could bring him around. Sometimes things are just meant to be... the fact that this one just happened to be a big, beautiful orange boy. There's that one that grabs our heartstrings and who are we to argue with fate? :) I hope it works out that you or someone else can take him. You might want to have a fast plan in place. I fell for a 10 year old sweetheart cat at our shelter a few years old, and I was just there to look at birds. They assured me that he was not in danger, that everyone there loved him. They said there would not be a problem keeping him unless he got sick. I still had them "gold dot" him in case of he ran out of time there. They took my name and number. I got a call 2 weeks later. Bear had a URI, his second one there, and they decided that was enough. I had about a day to make the decision to spring him. Maybe the supervisor you spoke with might informally keep your name, even though they don't have that policy? Offer to send her cookies if she keeps you in mind? (I can't tell you how many times the cookie offer has helped me.) Fingers crossed for Conan, and thanks Mary, for helping!

There's that one that grabs > our heartstrings and who are we to argue with fate? :) Oh, man! I could just see this now. I have never had a boy cat. The girls would be thrown for a loop, but they are both pretty easy going. I have the room that he could have his own territory and come out when he wanted. This place is pretty "precious" with breakables (not my fault, all inherited, all too sentimental to get rid of plus I have to pass the crap on to nieces and nephews) so a high jumper would be a challenge, but I could deal with it. It would give me an excuse the store the things that are not, as it happens, my taste anyway. The only problem is my husband. But you can bet this: if nobody takes him, I will get him out of there and into safe hands one way or another. > I hope it works out that you or someone else can take him.

I am grateful to Philip for making it easy to find him,and to Pam and Phil and everyone who offered to donate money if we had needed it to save him. All that has really changed is that we know he is not on death row-- and that the shelter knows people across the country and the world are interested in his fate. I think Phil is right, that this alone might buy him more time. Also, they are human beings. They have to feel sad that Philip gave this boy a home then yanked him out, sick and feeling low, to dump him back in the shelter. > I just spoke with Katherine, the Kennel supervisor.

Maybe Meghan would? > She seems like someone everyone would trust. Steve G., maybe? > Let's see, who else never fights with anyone here? :) It doesn't appear we need money *yet* for this. I think we should see how this adoption weekend goes, and if someone could check in on Monday, maybe someone who has already spoken with them so they don't have too many different people to deal with, then go from there. If he is not adopted soon, my gut tells me to get someone to spring him from the shelter and then we can work on a forever home. Signature-Kelly > > Lori, I don't want to handle the money.

At their house, isolation will be much easier to accomplish as Tim and I live in a condo that isnt nearly as big...so much harder to keep the cats away from me. And you cant sleep in the same bed with anyone for a week, either. So, it just made sense for me to go to their house and hole up in my old bedroom which already has tv, cable and phone. and a big bed. And good food prepared for me (flattened and slid under the door of course!) I've been on this "low iodine" diet in preparation and man...i havent had dairy in almost 2 weeks!!!!!!

I left home when I was very young, but sometimes came home when I was sick enough to be afraid. This is scary stuff, would be for anyone, and I think unusual in your age group. But you know it will be okay. BTW, you have to start eating lots of garlic. When cancer cells are placed in a petri dish with crushed garlic, they shrivel up and die. I am not lying. It boosts your immune system something fierce. John is not so fond of it, so sometimes I just boil a handful of thin spaghetti and crush two or three fresh cloves of garlic, sautee on medium lightly in olive oil, and toss with the drained pasta, salt, pepper, and a bit of parm cheese. A few diced raw tomatoes are FABULOUS in it too. It's a five-minite lunch. > Aww, man! Your ROOM is still intact! That is really cute. It's not quite as cute as it sounds, since I only actually lived in that room for a few summers and a 2 year period. It's not my childhood home. But it is an empty room, which is still referred to as "Pammy's room". :) Clearly, id much rather be at home with my husband and furkitties, but I must protect them from my glow-rays. > There is nothing like Mama's when you are sick.

Thyroid cancer seems to be showing up more and more, and oddly in my age group and even younger. There are some moms who post on my support group board who have kids with it that are in their teens. It also seems MUCH MUCH more prevalent in women than men. CHECK YOUR NECKS, PEOPLE!!! :) > But you know it will be okay. BTW, you have to start eating > lots of garlic.

Well, fortunately I have been eating LOTS of garlic over the past 2 weeks to help spice sh.t up. Man, those cancer cells are gonna be in for a real treat come monday between the garlic and the RADIOACTIVE FUCKIN IODINE!!!!!! Here little thyroid cell...come get it! iodine! yummy! Then...BLIZZAM!
