Getting ready for a new aby kitten in Chicago-advice on vets

Not everyone shares your opinion on the issue of purebred cats, you know. Those that choose to remain ignorant of their contribution to the unnecessary deaths of millions or choose to satisfy their own selfish desires most likely don't. It's the exact same mindset as that which we often see here with people that are dead set on declawing.

Or the feral cat group. You're kidding, right? Have you EVER read this NG????? Good God, your ignorance is astounding. I have to go to work (gotta support my 25 rescued cats somehow) but here, let me help you by giving you just a few examples of some of the things I do: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...wson.webtv.net http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...wson.webtv.net http://groups.google.com/groups?q=g:...wson.webtv.net Sure, you can rail on about something that doesn't really affect the probelm that much, and not spend as much effort on stuff that does, or you can spend your effort on stuff that actually matters a whole lot more! So you confirm that the lives of those cats are'nt important to you. Nope, they just don't matter. How sad is that. Apparently it hasn't occured to you that saving lives and doing the other things you listed are NOT mutually exclusive.

| How do you know they are purebred?
| | If it looks, acts, walks and smells purebred, it's purebred enough to | have come from purebred parents or parentage. Some come in with | pedigrees, as well. Besides that, we know ours are purebred because the pond scum people who relinquish them are all too happy to provide the papers, and are more than happy to stand there and say "We paid $500 for her, and we *really* don't want to give her up, but insert lame excuse. They act like they're giving us some kind of "gift." BTW, they get adopted real quick. Which *does* displace a shelter cat--people come in looking for any cat, spot the purebred and want that one. That's why we turn them over to breed rescues if there is one available. We had a Korat recently and couldn't locate a breed rescue closeby for it. Sherry |

Sherry I think pedigree/purebred cat breeders, are at least keeping their cats under control.... eg not releasing papers on kittens sold until proof from vets they have been neutered, many only sell as pets not for breeding, (non active papers.) People pay a lot more for potential stud/queens, and they do not let their cats roam about getting pregnant as much! maybe due to the sheer snobbery of it all! I think its the people who just buy the cute little moggie they see at a mates house, they buy it with all good *intentions* to start with, then she/he gets out always just before they were just about to take it to the vets to be neutered!!!!! and then a litter arrives! unwanted kittens, then their mates take one on and so it goes on! most winding up in shelter some being pregnant too :-( -- Luv'n'Stuff *~*SooZy*~* http://community.webshots.com/user/ragdollcatsuk |

Up close, you can't miss it, and it's really ugly. It's also
jarring, in that it's the wrong ear too - one can't help being reminded what a complete botch the vet tech accomplished. That's exactly what Bonnie's ear looks like. Hers was tipped when they thought I was going to release her. I don't know what they're supposed to look like. Up close, you can't miss it, and it's really ugly. It's also jarring, in that it's the wrong ear too - one can't help being reminded what a complete botch the vet tech accomplished. She sure is a beautiful cat though. She looks "wise." :-) Sherry |
