Conan Is Home :)

As promised, a final update to let everyone who is interested know that
Conan (now "Dylan" which we thought a more gentle name) has indeed been
homed with wonderful cat-loving humans and a feline friend. He is a loving
and lovable kitty lapping up all of the attention and affection he is
getting.

To those who had the courage to post and/or e-mail their continued support
and who offered to help in so many ways, thank you. You continued to trust
that we were doing everything right to ensure a great life for this cat.
That mattered to us.

In contrast, the degree of hostility displayed by others in this forum was,
to put it mildly, astonishing. It is difficult to understand how the feeling
of betrayal that some of you voiced could get confused with what truly
mattered - this cat's rescue and well-being. One would have thought that
knowing he was safe and very well cared for would have been cause for relief
and happiness rather than a launching pad for the malicious glee exhibited
in post after post. It became very clear that this cat's best interests had
long stopped being the priority for several of you who had been involved in
"planning" his rescue.

As to the homes you declared as good options. We disagree. In my world,
doing harm to an animal is never acceptable as a source of humour or in
order to provoke others, regardless of the player/s. Defensiveness related
to legitimate queries is also not a good way to begin a plea for adopting an
animal. And contrary to yet another misinterpretation posted ad nauseam, it
was never simply about "square footage". Cats can be successfully homed in
small, but feline-friendly spaces. I have done it. Specific configuration,
stimulating environment, outdoor-space safety, and vertical space are just
some of the relevant variables to be considered. Decisions made in haste
because they are convenient are rarely good ones and when defenceless
animals are involved, it would be inexcusable to not be cautious.

The relentless net sleuthing, the negative spins, the threats, and the
outrageous theories you came up with would be laughable if a cat's future
had not been at stake. So many of you not only conveniently chose to
"overlook" things that were posted but, in effect, fuelled the fire because
"the right party" was behind them. My principles are not dependent on who is
or is not involved.

I, and those who made Dylan's rescue happen, know he was happy, safe, and
very well-cared for every step of the way. Ultimately, that is all that
truly matters.

You are such a flaming asshole. Just in case you don't know it.

There was never any question that Conan would have a great home,
with or without you.

Ultimately that is all that truly matters.

[snip blah blah blah]

Instead of three paragraphs detailing how you were wronged, it would
have looked much better on you to talk more about his new home. But
that is just not as important to you, is it, Monica? You show yourself--
you cannot help it.

I just hope that what you are telling us is true and he is not in some
other cage. You have told so many lies, together with Dan Mahoney,
that those who care about him do not know what to believe.

And none of the lies was necessary. That is the part that looks the
worst on you both.

Thanks for the update, many people here were quite concerned.

Can you even begin to believe this dim-witted, sanctimonious bitch?
I have to wonder what life is like when it is lived with one's head lodged
so far up one's ass.

Speculation? Everything I said was true, and both Dan and Monica
verified it. They clearly did not want us to know that this poor cat
had been in a cage for over two weeks by the time Dan got off his
ass and got him out, but it was the truth.

Had Dan honored his promise to us, this cat would have been in a
wonderful home two weeks earlier. That is the difference Monica
Towel made in his life. And, of course, she revealed Dan Mahoney
as the lying, manipulative and untrustworthy excuse for a cat-lover
that he really is.

And another thing, you ass: you have not told us anything we did
not already know. You told Meghan this, and you told the woman
at the web site where you put Conan's photo.

So what was the real point of your post?

It's crystal clear to me, and to many others.

You reek.

Certainly not speaking for me. But heck, you might want to consider taking
your own advice. There was absolutely NO reason to be such a nasty jerk.

I'm thrilled Dylan (nee Conan) has found a good home with a feline friend
and a loving family. What else could a cat hope for? Great Job, all who were
involved in finding him the best home possible.

What is your favorite "it's too damn hot!" beverages? If you make it
yourself, what's your recipe?

Conversely, for the folks having their winter season what's your
favorite "it's too damn cold!" beverages? And again, recipe please!


I'm boring - I like lemonade (of any type) when it's too hot, and hot
tea (jasmine is my favorite) when it's too cold



You really are boring.

That's really good news! I just pored over a few of the Conan threads
for the first time, and hooboy what a hornets' nest. I'm glad I came
in at the happy ending.

Funny how people who can't behave civilly and compassionately with
other humans feel they should nonetheless be trusted with the welfare
of an animal.

Oh well. All's well that ends well. Now for the post-resolution
spin-wars...
