Hee hee, a HAPPY "Animal Cops" story :o)

We've discussed a few of the more depressing Animal Cops episodes recently,
so here's a more uplifting one.

The officer had been called out to a junkyard to check on a report of
someone keeping chickens, which is not legal in that locality. I actually
don't think she found chickens.

But what she DID find was a wee orphaned kitten a cute little grey tabby.
He was a few weeks old, but not old enough to be neutered or adopted out.

Little "Bruce", as he was dubbed, was fostered in a home until he weighed
2 lbs. Then he was neutered, microchipped, and placed for adoption.

Now he lives in a luxury apartment, with two other kittens that were
adopted at the same time. The person originally was going in to adopt one
kitten. But Bruce and two others were playing together. The man thought,
"Well, adopting two would be better", so that the kittens would have
playmates. But there were THREE kittens all together. Rather than leave
one behind, he adopted all three. )

They showed Bruce and the other kittens in their new home, and HOW CUTE
they all were. ) The other two little furballs were a longhaired blue
kitty and a dilute orange little guy. What little sweeties!

Anyway, Bruce's new Paw described how Bruce likes to walk across the
computer keyboard. He's sent some emails out that way, walking on the
keyboard and stepping on the SEND key. "I've gotten back some responses
that just say '?', and I've told them, 'It wasn't me. It must have been
Bruce' ". LOL. A computer kitty. Someone should send the little guy the
address of this group. ;o)

Donna, and the kitties who've stepped on the keyboard, but never emailed
anything (that I know of), Captain and Stanley

Awww... that's a great story, thanks for sharing.

I saw that and immediately thought of Holly. She walks back and forth in
front of the monitor whenever I sit down to the computer -- usually avoids
the keyboard but occassionally "types" out a row of letters to the screen,
like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Like you, I don't think
she has managed to send any email. She does spend a lot of time sitting on
my hand, which is trying to use the mouse at the time!

One day you might get an email saying, "Hey, what does

A cat slave after our own hearts:-D We had something similar happen
when we were cleaning cat cages at PetSmart some time back. A family
came in for a kitten (kitten season was in full swing) and saw two
yellow tabby brothers playing in their cage. They took one out to
visit, and they both wailed for each other. The family wasn't intending
to do so, but Mom looked at Dad, the teen aged son looked at Dad, and
dad said, $140 for the two of them? The adoption assistant nodded sadly
thinking that that was the end of it. Dad pulled out his wallet and
then told Mom and son to get extra toys beds and two carriers then asked
the adoption assistant to hold the brothers for a half hour or so.
Twenty minutes later, Dad was back, two kittens gladly went to their
forever home and Mom and son were smiling. Dad was a hero that day.
