Quoth Bob Brenchley.:
You're making that claim - prove it. Jacqueline has offered evidence
for hers.

Strange, I've seen no evidence which carries any weight from her.

You've refused all offers of documentary evidence. If you're going to
claim there's nothing to see, it's more believable if you have your eyes
open at the time.

There is no evidence to see.

Given her stance, that she has had healthy cats placed in her care by
Cats Protection, with CP knowing in advance that she will be keeping
them indoors 24/7, we are left with only two alternatives that fit
reality. Either she is lying and the cats are not normal healthy cats,
or she is just trolling (another form of lying).

No we're not left with two alternatives; we're left with at least 5
other ones:

(a) she may have a mansion, in which case the floor space indoors is
probably larger than most cats will have access to outdoors.

Irrelevant, it is still indoors.

(b) her local office may differ from the norm in policy.

No, policy is set higher up.

(c) your local office may differ from the norm in policy.

See above.

(d) the cats have been kept indoors all their life, they're about 5, and
whilst perfectly happy and healthy, they're timid.

If they have been kept in all there lives they would go to someone
experience in handling such cases. Someone like me. It can take months
to build an older cat's confidence in the outside world, but the
results are so rewarding I'm happy to spend whatever time is needed.

(e) the cats consistently refused to leave the house, so she gave up
trying to persuade them.

That would be a sign of mental illness that needs treating. See above.

You may be short of imagination, Bob, but don't try and project it onto
us as absolute truth. You're not in possession of that, and neither is
anyone else.

You have a very vivid imagination, but not one that fits very well
with the real world.

*sigh* I remember when you started posting here... you seemed so
amusing, so promising... What happened, Bob? What happened?

Several years of dealing with lying animal abusing trolls.

...and as far as I can see, that constitutes the majority the newsgroup.
Ever wonder about that, Bob? Ever stop to think that just perhaps a
newsgroup does not find itself populated almost exclusively by lying
trolls - especially not lying trolls who seem perfectly capable of
getting on with everyone else in the newsgroup and not insisting that
their opinions are fact - until you, the vessel of ultimate revelation,
arrives to set it to rights? Ever considered that just perhaps it might
be you that's in the wrong?

You will find that there are a lot of other cat lovers out there, and
most of them will confirm all that I've said.

I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in
public.
