"Helen" wrote in message ... "Helen Miles" wrote in message news:df43e4823391a83eb19d079e4809186d.76411@mygate .mailgate.org... As a UK poster I've been following the Conan saga, and am now completely confused. What is happening to Conan, is he being adopted, collected, rehomed or what? Helen M I've come in on the tail end and have absolutely no idea what is going on. He's a cute little guy and I'm glad he's safe, but I've no idea why he's been chosen to be saved above all the thousands of other cats in US shelters. It seems people here have formed an attachment to him but I still don't know why. Helen, just go back and READ the story. It began with a thread called "Rescue Cat" or something like that. Google Philip's earliest posts, he is the one who first adopted then abandoned him. Then figure it out for yourself. You know how factional these groups are. I could tell you why I think he got saved from almost certain euthanization today, and others would have another take. It is best to form your own opinion. |

Because you see, what Phillip did - returning a cat to a shelter when he clearly couldn't handle the cat - an action that the shelter recommends, in fact - is so "EVIL!" That's the only reason. If they really cared, they'd put as much time, effort and money into their local shelters, every week of every year. Like many others on the group do. -L. |

Helen wrote: I've come in on the tail end Helen A dude named Philip adopted a cat, and after a bad Lemony Snicket's episode he took the cat back. Meanwhile, since this is the pussy club, everyone flamed Philip, I mean blamed Philip. They hated Philip so much that it inspired them to rescue the cat. No-one stepped forward to adopt the cat except for Charlie. This made everyone happy. Cheryl brought up the idea, "Do we really know Charlie"... This idea quickly spread throughout the pussy club. Then a couple of dicks, went and dug up google stuff. (A real challenge, very reliable, always in context) They went backwards on Charlie, looked a gift horse in the mouth, and called each other *******s. Really, just a typical day in the pussy club. |

"Couldn't handle" makes it sound like the cat was a biter or vicious or hyper. Let's not rewrite history, please. It was more than a cold. Bottom line, Philip did an excellent job forcing nutrients into the cat. The cat would not be as healthy today if it was not for Philip. Lets not rewrite history. |

(A real challenge, very reliable, always in context) Barry, I have seen *first hand* people adopt a cat I fostered, and return it *ruined* because of abuse/neglect/stupidity. Not just once, either. That has a way of making you be careful who the cat is adopted to. -- Cheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields |

Helen M Well Helen, the short version is this. If good intentions are the most important, then the whole world is now safe. The Rescue Minions have tried to marshal their resources to get Conan out of the shelter ... which may be enough for them. If JUST getting Conan out of the shelter is the most important, then nothing has been accomplished. The cat is still there in a cage at the moment (June 28). The second step of locating a new home has been complicated by the "Find Conan's Made In Heaven Home" crowd. So really, the whole effort is stuck in committee right now. Perhaps YOU should tell us again how all this started. MLB Hmmmmm. Silence. Is it me or does Philip seem awfully quiet since Conan was sprung? |

Nobody needs to do anything to *make* you look bad. All anyone has to do is sit back and watch you do it yourself. I wish everything were this easy. *~sigh~* |
