To me, and I suspect a lot of other people who have worked in rescue for a while, there's NOTHING special about this story or this cat. There's a lot of angst and energy being poured into this cat, while thousands with the exact same story sit on death row. Long distance rescues are almost always about the people and rarely about the animal. If it was about the animal, there are ones just as deserving locally. b |

Every moment that the squabbling goes on, every moment wasted posting nonsense and speculation, a cat is being killed somewhere because insufficient resources are channeled into reducing pet overpopulation and into keep them alive until adopted. Every moment, there is an opportunity to choose to make a difference. Mmm hmm. We were poised to make a difference in Conan's life-- had the great new home, the means of transport, and Dan's promise to pick him up and take him there--when you intervened and made sure this little cat would remain homeless and caged now for going on two weeks. You do it one cat at a time, Monica. Your behavior in turning down several good homes for this cat after you convinced Dan to break his promise to us is all people need to know in order to know exactly what you are. You cannot lie your way out of that, or spin it, or finesse it. It is a simple fact. Mary: As much of an emotional roller coaster as you are, having sex with you has *got* to be wild. |

Thanks so much for your contribution. |

So your point here seems to be that a critical discussion of your M.O. is to be construed as callous indifference to suffering animals. Is that about right? Your entire, lengthy post is a self-serving deflection. You have provided no meaningful information while invoking a lot of empty rhetoric and voicing a number of complaints. Who cares if someone lifted a couple pix from your web album? That is not relevant. People are wondering, who picked up this cat and who is in charge of him now, and where is he exactly? What are the standards someone must meet to adopt him, and what selection process do you intend to follow? If you want to put a damper on this controversy, try answering those questions. Charlie |

Charlie Monica owes ya'll .... nuthin' . Zip. Go pound sand. Her "group" is not beholden on ANY level to reveal what they are doing. They got the gold ... they make the rules. The "controversy" will never ever be quelled by anything Monica announces. Monica recognizes this as true. |

This is fine when it comes to mercenaries, cut throats, thugs, assholes, etc.. but when It comes to a team, it ain't worth a damn. |

It also holds true for couples who find themselves battling nosey, medlesome, gossipy, quarrelsome "friends" and in-laws. It also holds true for those entrusted with protecting privacy and security. Outsiders are owed nothing. So, what team would that be? Were the situation reversed, I guarantee you Team B would not be clamoring, demanding, threatening to be "informed." |

I agree with you 100%. They would not be, because Conan would already be in a wonderful, loving home you ugly, foul-smelling old monkey. (Apologies to Nietzsche and Lou Salome ...) |
