This whole thing made me so angry I can hardly describe what I feel.
What
kind of heartless monster would react like that?? Anyway, it will be his
last time here. I am going to find someone else for the future.

Mary, I am so sorry that happened to you. You were much more gracious than
I
would have been. I'm afraid I would have thrown him out of my house, and
called
to lodge a complaint with the company. What it is, is sad really. He
sounds
actually very ignorant, in the sense that he's just not very bright and
has no
empathy or compassion. Think what his poor family puts up with. Sheesh.
This is
making me angry, too and I wasn't even there.
When he said "Why don't you get rid of it and get a healthy
cat"..youshould
have said, "Why don't I just get rid of YOU and hire a decent human being.
There's the door."

Excellent response ... I wish I had said something like that. I was so busy
being angry and trying to talk sense (at least, *my* version of "sense") to
him that I blew the perfect opportunity to show him the door. That would
have hurt him financially, too, because he is the owner and was here with an
employee and his big truck full of supplies. He would have had to "eat" a
lost day of wages.

I, personally, would not give him the satisfaction of knowing why you
willl not use him any more. I'd let him wonder until hell froze over.
But I would tell anyone you know who might use him about his actions.
I did this many years ago to a dishonext housecleaner and it did cost
him in the end Much more satisfying than "venting" and won't raise
your bloodpress as high. MLB
