Geeze they don't plan on paying someone for boarding their cats. If they can
afford to go around the world they could spring for boarding at a kennel. John Moran wrote in message ... Hi there We are planning a 6 month trip around the world and have 2 very cute cats who, at the moment, we can't find a home for. We were wondering if there was some kindly soul - preferably in the south London area - who would be willing to look after them while we are away. We will of course meet all food, litter and vet costs and will also be happy to reciprocate if you need a holiday home for your cats. They are brother and sister - Oscar is all black and Edie is black with white bits. They are 4 years old. Hope to hear from somebody John -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

"DarkHills" wrote in message news Your comments strike me as having been sparked from jealousy. Jealously about what???? Well, I'm not rich enough to take a around the world trip, but neither will I begrudge anyone else their vacations. Me neither. I have travelled round the world, and lived in many different countries from Saudi Arabia, to Canada. In the future please learn that not everyone is like yourself, and it's pretty damned arrogant to expect them to be. In future you would be well advised not to take things for granted and assume things from people's posts. Learn some tolerance. Pot, kettle,black. If we lived in GB we would gladly watch his cats for the time they need. Unfortunately, we're half a world away... Easy enough to make promises you will never be called upon to keep then eh? Just because someone can afford to take an extended vacation does not mean they are heartless and cruel. Did I say they were??? I can't afford it, but I have relatives who are world travelers, and they aren't like that at all. And this is relevant to the OP in what way? So stuff your comment back where it came from. Oops, your low class is showing there lovie. Sorry, but that was a bull**** post, and you know it. Of course. I recognise it from your own post. I'll get off the Anger Horse now. Isn't often that ignorance sparks it, but it did this time. You are an expert in it seemingly. John, good luck in finding someone. I haven't posted re your post before this because I didn't know anyone who could help, and I didn't want to waste your time. So you wasted everyone elses, bu posting your attack on my post. But this post lit my fuse - didn't qualify as a troll, but someone needed some lecturing. I don't know who you are lovie. I know who you *think* you are. But just to drag you down a bit. To me, you are just a gob****e American who feels the need to put the rest of the world right. You have no idea about me, and who I am, or what I am, or anything else, yet you feel justified in poking your oar in and "lecturing" me. My god, when I need a lecture from trailer trash, I will give up keeping animals and go on a world cruise. Off the soapbox now... Put it over your head lovie, where it might do some good. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

If you had, you would know that first off..most of the country was settled by people from somewhere else so whatever we are..you were first; and secondly..it is a melting pot with ALL kinds of different types. I don't assume Bob Brenly is representative of everyone from the UK..and I don't call him a "Brit" as some form of put down. I am sure I know some knee jerk reactionist from whatever your home country is but I am not so ignorant as to assume that you are just like them. Maybe you should give up keeping animals and go on a world cruise. Perhaps then you can put away your misconceptions and learn that there are good and bad every where and generalizations like you are making are just plain stupid. AG |

Croydon area Selsdon, which is in the borough of London also had a large cattery, that's in the country side beside a bird sanctuary. There are loads of catteries in surrey, not sure that is what he wants tho London cover a very large area.... |
