CatNipped - 29 Jun 2005 02:31 GMT

The people who live across the street just bought their home 6 months ago
for $225,000 (we knew the people who lived there before them and knew what
they were asking for their newly remodeled home). They have a brand new SUV
in the driveway. They have a brand new motorcycle in the attached garage.
They also have a poor little scrawny female cat who has not been spayed or
vaccinated....

and they now have a litter of kittens to "get rid of". I couldn't believe
the sign they had in the street outside their house, "Real Kittens $1.00".

<BIG SIGH> Ben and I just *CAN NOT* afford another kitten right now. We
had a severe financial set back 2 years ago and haven't recovered yet. We
are putting off having our own cats vetted because of Jessie's recent vet
bills. But I just know what kind of homes these kittens will go to - if
they even get to go to a home in the middle of kitten season and don't get
taken to the pound or dropped somewhere to fend for themselves!

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I *HATE* people sometimes!

That camera is goin get you in trouble. lol

Well, if they got a cat and kittens you guys got plenty in common!
You know them don't you, 6 months?

Maybe they just need to see other cats, and then they will realize
their cat is frail you know, in need.

I wonder if the artificial ones cost more or less.

Wow, $100.00 is get spayed is expensive, it's only $65.00 here, that
includes pre bloodwork, prep, the operation and one follow up appointment.

That's higher than my low cast vet and lower than my closer vet.

And then there's the expensive vet (expensive neighborhood). It's over
$150 for a spay, and that was when I called several years ago.

Well mine is $72 unless you want to use the laser which is much less
painful and lets the cat recover much sooner.....a much more humane
way to operate so then thats another $60 kind of decietful advertising
in my opinion. They don't tell you about the laser until the day of
surgery when you are talking with the technician.

Question: Why don't you mind your own business?

That's such a shame when they obviously have money to spend :(( I
expect they can afford the vehicles because the property is so cheap.
