snip useless garbage This is usenet, and I can express any opinion I want to whether you like it or not. My concern is for the welfare of this cat and leaving her as is for another day is cruel, regardless of the good intentions that got her there.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

However no-body like to be made felt compelled particularly in a volunteer situation. You recognize that he caught the cat for the sole purpose of having it neutered. You don't see nobody else telling Charlie what to do, just you. You can't say just because you are right about a thing, makes it ok to nag. Now you apologize to Charlie for underminding his efforts and his work...I said! He tried to take the cat to the weekend vet to get it nuetered. Don't say a word! Not a word. |

Thanks for your support, Barry, but I understand and forgive women for their outlandish tirades. They are controlled by their emotions and the catamenial cycle. I have found that patience and gentlemanly behavior will often yield a hot **** when they finally come to their senses and realize how stupidly they have behaved. Charlie |

In my experience vets have limited space to board animals that were not
already on an appointment list for that day. They are not usually set up as your usual boarding facility. One thing I have found working with fareals is they can and will escape. No matter your attempt at keeping them trapped. The medium/large dog kennel is large enough to putt a small litter pan in and still have enough room for the cat. If there is no pan just litter there is still enough room for the cat to stay away from its own waste for a day. As for food and water, most vets recommend them be empty stomached before surgery anyway. Also most cats will not eat or drink for a day or so after they have had surgery. I know it seems cruel but just think about how long these animals go without eating before they actually make a kill. Remember only like 1 in five hunts ends in a kill. So many of these animals are used to not eating simply due to surviving outdoors. I'm not in any way saying it's a good thing just stating a fact. Shadow Walker wrote in message ... Can't you bring the cat in now and board her for a day at the vet? She shouldn't have to be stuck in a carrier with urine, feces and no food or water!! Especially for anotherday! That's unfair to her and I don't see why the vet can't take her today and spay her tomorrow. Please be kind and at least get her to the clinic today. Megan |

oh thats funny. Sounds like a shredder party. That is not an easy job and
some cats espiecialy a scared wild cat will not let you bath them. Might as well grab up a lynx or a bob cat. Shadow Walker "bigbadbarry" wrote in message oups.com...

Charlie: First, trim the talons off the cat's claws. The trick in washing a recalcitrant pussy is to hold it up by the nape between the shoulder blades (NOT the nape of the neck because this will choke an adult cat) so the cat cannot get traction and cannot bite you. With the other hand you hose your pussy with barely warm water. Once soaked, pussies usually resign themselves but remember ... don't let your guard down. The cat is feral, no way is he going to be able to trim her claws. He doesn't need to give the cats a bath either. Or are you attempting to be funny? -- -Kelly |

Shadow Walker This cat did not have to do without water for any period of time and was fed normally. I was able to slip food and water through the gate. I couldn't get a litter box in, however, because I was worried it would escape if I opened the gate that far. Ergo I poured some litter into the back of the pet porter, and that worked fine. The cat is now at the vet. How he plans to administer the anesthesia is anyone's guess. Based on my knowledge of this particular animal, I fully expect to see a wounded vet when I go back later today. Charlie wrote in message ...
