I just moved to an apartment and I don't have the liberty of allowing my cats the freedeom to go in and out. You should have thought of that BEFORE moving. Now they have to use a litterbox and the outside is a vague memory to them. In all honesty, they are flourishing! Sadly, animal abusers often delude themselves that way. My cats used to be feral; I rescued them when each one was about 10 weeks old. For never being cooped up before, I think they love it. They seek out more attention, they're more loving, they purr more loudly, they are eating better and their personalities are really coming out. I think they feel more secure. They're even learning to get along with the dog.......but that's another story. g kilikini -- Bob. Light travels faster than sound. This is why you appear bright until we hear you talk. I didn't have a choice in the move. I rent. The landlady wanted her house back. Having said that, it's EXTREMELY difficult to find housing on Maui. My old 3 bedroom house with a nice fenced in yard rented at $850 a month. I now am forced to live in cramped apartment housing for $1300 a month. What to do - get rid of my girls? I don't THINK so. Gosh, you made me mad with your statements. ABUSE my animals? There have been times when I've gone without food for a day or two just to make sure that my animals were fed. Before you go making foolish and accusatory statements about a person, consider possibilities. Jeez! kilikini |

you really should ignore the trolls.. You don't abuse your animals by
keeping them inside.. your doing them a huge favor. Indoor cats are happy well cared for cats. I didn't have a choice in the move. I rent. The landlady wanted her house back.

(Excuse my language) I have gone to such lengths to make sure that I can find a place to live that allows me to have my animals. I am NOT an abusive or irresponsible pet owner by any means. If I had the money, I'd buy acres and acres and set up a refuge. The reason why I'm so hostile is because I *just* went thru the move and it was hell to find a place. It really was!

Guess why I don't see his postings? He's joined the other dipsticks in my
killfile. I live in the High Mojave Desert, and an outdoor cat in this area becomes the low end of the food chain real fast. None of my cats go outside, not only the mix breeds I've saved, but also my Show cats ( Japanese Bobtails ) and they all live inside and enjoy it too. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

... The cats are the same - it is just the degree of compassion for animals that is different in the UK - here we love out animals. Oh yes, how to love animals is perfectly shown by Queen Elizabeth II. She is very fond of hunting foxes and other animals and birds living out in the free. The last thing I saw from Her Majesty was her beating a wounded bird to death with her walking stick, after which she turned to her company laughing and smiling. Not to mention the behaviour of the Royal d*gs... Bob, is there a deep pond near by where you live? Go out there, it needs your company... Hans |

He has even said and you can look it up on google that he has said he would rather kill all the cats in north america then let them live as indoor cats. He is also known to not fix his animals and allows his cats to have unwanted litters. Just check google and you will see he is not worth replying to. Just killfile him like most of us have and you will never even miss him. I have 2 cats both rescue. One a siamese cross and one a Maine Coon and both are totally indoors. Except the balcony and the Maine Coon has killed 2 squirrels that jumped on to the balcony. So I think the balcony should be off limits until the squirrels grab a clue. |
