WHOA, pardner. TRYING is *not* good enough. You have to succeed otherwise ... you had better recognize early your failing and then hand off to those who will succeed. A case in point was some woman out in northern Los Angeles earlier this year, caring for some 80+ cats in her *house* ... well intentioned but ... FAILING to provide a healthy environment for so many cats. Agreed. I just do not think that Megan is a hoarder. I *do* think that 25 cats or whatever is a lot. Too many? Not for me to decide. I've looked at her pix though and they seem to be happy, playful kitties. Just lots of them. I could never live like that. I'd probably die of an asthma attack. I digress... Pam |

FAILING to provide a healthy environment for so many cats. I had to goto court today, and because I hold a license in a particular field, they considered me an expert; what I said was the law in their eyes. It made 100% difference for a lady paying or not paying a 12,000.00 note. Megan has a certificate or license, this says she has gone forward to her peers and said, look what I am doing. This is besides the point, Mary is brilliant, she's creative, I just believe she could help build her up, rather than use buzz words like, borderline, and janitor. |

Yes, you're right. Most single women who clean houses for a living live in large houses. Or four-bedroom apartments. I better check what my house cleaner lives in - she sure charges enough :-) My previous cleaner quit the business so she and her husband could open their fishing lodge which apparently was their lifetime dream. -mhd |

When I first started visiting this forum, Mary was my first kill file occupant ... day 2. She is too volatile and abusive to trust much of anything she says. In 7 years of using Usenet, I have NEVER killfiled so many people in such a short time as here. I can find all the useful information she has to offer elsewhere and without the abusive guff. |

Pam The true test of how many cats is enough is: Invite a neighbor in for coffee. Watch their reaction to seeing the number of cats you have. Take note of their reluctance to sit on anything upholstered. Watch their face for wrinkled nose or flinching eyes. I'm convinced many "cat people" have a high tolerance to kitty smells and dander. When you are a cat fancier, it is really difficult to be objective about the level of care you are providing. Our house will be a one cat home again tomorrow. Conan's replacement comes home for the first time. |

Wow, you gave up on him already? That was fast. Poor cat. You shouldn't be surprised. He said disable cats are 'euthanasia candidates'. When he adopted Conan, I said I hope the cat never gets sick or else the cat is a gonner. Sure enough he 'returned' the cat because he had a URI. Phil |
