Megan DOES Live in a 1-bedroom Apt. With 20-some cats.

And you would be correct. Hoarders don't keep a clean house,
spay/neuter, have large files filled with vet records, feed premium
canned food, use premium litter, go through annual inspections, pay
yearly permit fees, etc, etc. I do.

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.

They are happy, playful kitties. Pictures don't lie. They are all
healthy and beautiful with wonderful personalities and they live in
harmony. My detractors don't give a **** about my cats. They are just
grasping at anything they can, and lying any way they can in a pathetic
attempt to malign. It's sad, really.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

Megan will be so proud of me! I Googled her!

Here is the game she is playing. She can say it is a lie that she lives in a
one-bedroom apartment with 23 cats because she really lives in a one-bedroom
apartment with
24 cats.

What a pathetic attempt to avoid telling the truth. And how sad for the
cats. Here is the first thread that came up:

http://tinyurl.com/c6elf

While I am sure she has the best of intentions, anyone who thinks that many
cats living in ANY SIZE one-bedroom apartment are in the best possible place
is nuts.

Getting back to Henry: I am very sad for him. He had the run of a good-sized
place at Brians, got shuffled to some woman's home who never wanted him, and
now is stuffed into Megan's little apartment with 20-some other cats.

That was my point. Poor Henry.

You described your behavior perfectly.

Wow, you gave up on him already?

That was fast.

Poor cat.

My vet did the customary first office visit on the third day (June4). The
following Saturday (June11), the follow up evaluation was "Cut your loses
now ... Conan's condition is not simple URI." Six days of hand/force
feeding 2-3 times a day with additional symptoms appearing was not up to the
vet's standards nor mine.

Please people ... just calm down.

The true test of how many cats is enough is: Invite a neighbor in

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.

I wonder what Noah would think about all this?

Congratulations on your forthcoming cat! I know you guys are excited.

Some accountings of the Great Flood indicate God put all the animals into a
deep sleep ... like hibernation.

I've since put a hide-a-key box behind the radiator grill. LOL Pictures
when practical.

I don't know any vet who would say "cut your losses".
RIP Conan.

Neither do I - unless the vet is as emotionally bankrupt as Philip.

He's definitely a DNA.

You don't know many vets and you certainly do not know mine. What you may
not have considered is that woman to woman vocabulary is different than
woman to man vocabulary. An effective communicator is practiced in both
styles.

Thank you for sparing me an emotional outburst.

Just lots of them. I could never live like that. I'd probably die of an
asthma attack.

I don't think Megan is a hoarder either. From my own contact with her,
and contact others have had with her, she just doesn't fit the profile.
I do think Megan's problem, which really isn't one, is she has a big
heart where cats are concerned, but I don't think it's up to us to
judge her ability to care for cats. She has a license, which isn't
granted to just anyone. I'm sure she had to show proof of her
situation. I remember years ago when I volunteered at a shelter, it
just broke my heart seeing all those unwanted animals. I can see how
easy it would be for someone to want to help as many as they can.
