My visit with Megan's Menagerie

Oh yes, John. I imagine this is because Phil (and everyone else) knows that
cats are not displaying submissive behavior when they lie on their backs, as
you claimed?

Pfft.

So the reluctant woman who adopted
Henry gave him back to Megan?

She didn't "adopt" Henry. She agreed to foster him until a home could be
found. That was very clear in Brian's post about the situation. We hoped
she would fall in love but the recent death of her cat really affected
her and she wasn't ready.

I had another home lined up with a really wonderful couple that have a
cat they wanted a playmate for, but Christina became gravely ill and was
hospitalized, then faced a long recovery and also had to learn to walk
again. It wasn't fair to the foster or Henry to have to wait for who
knows how long, so I decided to bring him home with me

I'm glad I did because, even though he is a great cat, he has some
issues that require someone with a lot of experience in introductions
and behavior to deal with.
He's 100% improved already and gets better all the time.

You can rail at Brian all you want about giving Henry up, but expecting
Henry to live in a house where he is attacked any time Louis laid eyes
on him and has to be isolated for the majority of the day is cruel on
your part and it's a life NO cat should have to live. Brian did the
right thing and Henry is happy.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray

She knows what she's talking about,

How would you know? You couldn't tell the difference between a hairball
and
turd without tasting it. You rank right up there will blabbering Barry-
you're another dim- witted babbling idiot.




Once again, I am awed by your command of logic and the reasoned
rebuttal.

Perhaps when you are sober, you could give me a response I could
discuss with you.

This from a man who keeps complaining that his cats keep him up
by knocking beer bottles off of the table all night.


Aw, you're not even gonna give me credit for a great come-back? That
was really funny.

Still convinced you're a bot.

Tell me - what was on the front page of the New York Times today?
That's a nice Turing..

Rebut what, your blather?



Looking forward to our future chats.


If I were you, I wouldn't be.



Aw crap. You're even more useless than Mary.

Well, at least I'm building a list of the nutjobs to ignore on this
newsgroup - till I need some entertainment.

Wow - do you keep a notebook or something? If your encyclopedic
knowledge of cats were closer to your encyclopedic knowledge of each
of your adversaries' posts, you might actually be able to contribute
something here other than comic relief.

But worse, poor Henry. The woman Megan assured Brian would
grow to love him and keep him did not, just as I expected due to
her cold reception of him. Poor Henry.


Eh - you just have a selective memory.

That's fine. You're harmless.

Poor Henry. It must be like being in a shelter.

Good god.. you're approaching "useless to respond to".

What about Herny's disposition warrants "Poor Henry"? He's happy.

How is a happy house, integrated with other cats in a wonderful home,
playing with them, watched over by a cat expert like "a shelter"?

Wait I know -- "Poor Henry - you're such a *******", which of course
is no answer.

However, this is all Google-able, and I want to set the record
straight that you're just a harridan.

PLEASE seek some help Mary - your disease is treatable. Do so before
you actually own a cat and can do damage to it.

Well, what a shame.

I'm sure he is. He lived with you for six months, then got shuffled off to
that woman's place and now is living in a one-bedroom apartment
with 23 other cats.

The only difference I can see is that a shelter is bigger.


Wait I know -- "Poor Henry - you're such a *******", which of course

I didn't--and never have--said a thing about you being a *******. I just
said "poor Henry." He thought he had a home, and he didn't. He thought
he had another home, and he did not. And now he's in a one-bedroom
apartment with 23 other cats. I think it is sad.


However, this is all Google-able, and I want to set the record
straight that you're just a harridan.

Sure.

Right.

Poor Henry.

Hello, my SO and me just wanted to say WOW!!
We read about Brian's recent visit to your home.
You are very dedicated; are you ever able to take a vacation? Ha ha
We've been looking at the pictures from your posted links.Mistopheles
is very cute.

We are curious if you are looking for homes for some of the cats, or
are most of them your pets.

Thanks for your contributions to the cat world at large, as well as the
picture albums.
