Ok Ok, keep your hair on, whats with you I dont flame,there was nothing
wrong with what I said, the cat *may* be lost, and the family *may* want to
breed from him, your the only one who seems to think that is ignorant
nonsense

some people breed and do not, they do have that right you know,{or dont you

If you really wanted to post that, it would have been better to leave
rec.pets.cats.rescue out of the newsgroups list. Such ignorant nonsense
may fly in .anecdotes, but in .rescue it's nothing but flamebait, pure and
simple.

MMJ would be doing everyone a service, including the cat, by getting him
fixed ASAP.

and then they might try and sue if they do come for him


MMJ has better grounds for a lawsuit if they show up.

local grocery stores & canvas nearby neighborhoods.

neighbor passed away, and we found out he had a cat. I never saw the

cat, &
don't know how long he'd had it, but his brother, when he came over to

thank
us for card/flowers sent to the funeral home (and to ask if some workers
could get in our yard to cut down a dead tree that was just on their side

of
the property line), told us that just *three days* before he died, our
neighbor mad arrangements for someone to care for the cat if something
happened to him. Our neighbor was only in his 50's and had heart

problems.
Maybe this was his cat???


Continuing purrs for the little guy.

We had a tragic story here a few weeks back. Someone living out in the
county had a LOT of cats, early estimates ran 50-60. The property
owner didn't have any relatives in the state, so the cats were
abandoned when the owner died. No one said anything until the cats had
gone feral and started killing the neighbors' chickens.

That was when a lot of us here learned that there was no agency that
was responsible for strays out in the county. One of the local groups
(the same group which does the low cost neutering where I took Rocky)
went out and set traps, but the cats were in very bad shape. They
didn't think they'd be able to save many of them. I suppose the only
good thing that came out of it is that the sheriff department and city
shelter actually cooperated (for some reason they're usually feuding
over jurisdiction - maybe the fact that the sheriff is up for
reelection has something to do with the cooperation). I haven't heard
anything about the cats for awhile, but the sheriff now has a pickup
outfitted to deal with strays.

Irrelevant, at best.

There is no excuse for not neutering cats as soon as possible.

HTH.

Whilst no-one is saying you can't talk about such controversial things,
perhaps its best to consider them to be with the sign "DANGER - the
nature of this subject is unpredicable, it may bite or get vicious
all of a sudden without seeming provocation. Approach with extreme
caution".


I've decided to put "PW - politics warning" in posts where the views
or topics might be controversial. That way folks can choose whether or
not to read it and/or add to it.

LOL! Good point! For Christmas I'm roasting a small pork tenderloin
seasoned with rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt & pepper, and small red
potatoes. The veggie will be steamed brussels sprouts with a little grated
Vermont cheddar cheese sprinkled over the top.
