A neat travel site

Do some people just not bond with their pets? It sounds as though to

house.

Unfortunately, that is exactly how most people actually feel about
their cats. A case in point: I once met a woman that had gotten a
kitten for her kids. She took it for shots and the vet said it had
ringworm. The woman didn't want to be bothered with medicines for it,
so she had it put down! And then again, maybe the kitten was better
off not living with her kids treating it as a toy.

From the Fearsome Foursome stories, it sounds as though ringworm is
pretty bothersome, and she must have been afraid that her kids would
get it, too. But I remember a poster once said that she had fond
memories of her mother carrying her kitten around in her apron and
putting ringworm medicine on its paws.

If we're in the minority, I hope there's nothing wrong with us. We
all feel here that cats are terribly charming, and instantly trigger
some kind of protective/enslaving instinct.

Sounds like a really neat European vacation! (I didn't check to
see how much it cost, though.) Take a look at
http://www.friendsofromancats.org/Do...ts&Culture.pdf

A mere $3495!!

Actually, that's not so bad - it pays for air fare, accomodations,
several meals (not all), transportation within the country, admission
to all the sites on the itinerary, and a few other things. And it's
a two-week trip. It sounds wonderful, and it even departs the USA
from San Francisco! Maybe I'm meant to go?

But alas, it's too costly for me. Wish I could go for *one* week and
pay half the price!
