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 |

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! MaryL |

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. Pam S. smiling fondly |
