There really is nothing we here can do about this, here in
Anecdotes we
try and focus on happy cat stories - that is the charter of this
group.
If they won't allow you on health+behav, please just go away and find
somewhere else to post this.

Well, I have read *many* of your posts where you wrote--at great
length--about your health problems. There is nothing wrong with
doing that,
and many people posted words of sympathy, but they certainly were
not "happy
cat stories." The first Caboodle Ranch thread was started by someone
else,
and it appears that there was a lot of interest in it (judging by
the number
of responses).

Not to mention that, happy or not, it is on topic.

Not to worry, I won't bother this group any more, OT or not.

Megan/tripsovercats/catlady and I go way back to the time when she
called my cell phone and left an obscenity-laced message there because I
didn't treat my cats the way *she* thought was correct. *You can have as
much of her here as you like - I'm not in a place to abide any more
posts about cat abuse. *I have very little time left period and I don't
want to waste it crying over things I can't change. *So either way, I
*won't* bother the group any longer - take that any way you like.

I'm interested in posts by both you and catlady. I'm hoping for the
best for you and am concerned about the Caboodle Ranch situation. I
thought that both ASPCA and PETA were wrong about Caboodle, but
apparently they weren't.

I've thought about what will happen to my cats when I can't care for
them anymore and considered Caboodle Ranch so it is important to me.

Since you have been involved in TNR I would suggest you talk with
contacts you have made there, your vet and local rescues and find a
solution that will ensure that care is taken in rehoming your kitties
in the event something happens to you. Make sure to include this in
your will and make sure someone knows where it is and can find it
easily. Make sure to carry that persons contact number with you next
to your Driver's License/ID. These so-called "sanctuaries" may sound
like a great idea, but time and time again these places get shut down
and it turns out they are only warehouses for cats where any kind of
monitoring is minimal or non-existent. The best place for our kitties
is in a real home. You might also find this book helpful:

So many people have left for Facebook that we can't lose the ones that
remain.
