Any friends of Megan: Can you ask about Henry?
I ****ed off Megan a while ago and she won't talk to me anymore. I
really can't tell anymore whether it's cause I'm a moron or she's a harridan. Doesn't really matter now, I guess. We found a stray, nursed him back to health and then were unable to manage integrating him into our two cat household. He was an incredible sweetheart - very loving to people. Megan agreed to adopt him, and when I last saw him he was doing wonderfully in her amazing, huge Minneapolis menagerie. I sent her an email a couple days ago asking about Henry, and predictably, she hasn't responded. If there are friends of hers out there that can ask, and are less vindictive, please ask her how my little furball is fairing. Henry was a strong, Maine-Coonish type cat that had never been properly socialized with other cats. It took an expert like Megan to integrate him into the household, we weren't up to the task. She can properly take credit for making him a successful, sociable indoor cat, but we took him in, paid the vet bills and otherwise rescued him from the short life of an outdoor castaway. I miss him, and having just lost a cat in our family, am concerned about his welfare. Thanks for any info you can pass along.

BLink -------------------------- "The worst thing about censorship is [redacted]" Brian, I would think that it is obvious to you why Megan won't respond to your messages. She did adopt Henry when you could not properly care for him, and she had you over to her home -- so you already know the information you have now requested. At the same time, you have insulted her (publicly on the newsgroups and not just privately) on every occasion when you posted messages about her. Just take a look at your current message -- there are lots of positive statements, but you started the whole thing by referring to her as a "harridan," and this message is actually one of your calmer ones. I wouldn't respond, either, if someone wrote about me in that way. In fact, I would be *livid.* What you have been doing is classic passive-aggressive behavior, and you are directing it to someone who gave you help over a very long period of time. MaryL |

Brian asking how Henry's doing is reasonable, despite any personal conflicts the two of them had. If anyone's being passive-aggressive, it's Megan for refusing to give a follow-up info on a cat she adopted. (Brian's being directly aggressive.) In the past I've taken some cats from some ****ing jackwad idiots, whom I was *completely* disgusted with. I still followed up with a wellness report on the cats. Honestly, how's it gonna hurt her to tell him how Henry is doing? It's not. It's just sort of assholy of her to withold the information. And two "assholies" don't make a "right". -L. |

What a sobering post. You just proved yourself to be much more mature than I am. I was going to say, sounds like a clear case of Asshole v. Asshole to me. Of course Brian has a right to know how Henry is doing, though I still think he is a scumbag for giving him up. Mary L,. as usual, is a sanctimonious pill. |

IIRC he didn't follow Megan's advice, and couldn't get it through his thick head why he wasn't having any success. (I could be confusing cases, though...) I don't have any problem rehoming a cat when the person invoved is either stubborn or stupid. Mary L,. as usual, is a sanctimonious pill. shrug Everybody's entitled to their opinions. There are times when being a "harridan" is totally appropriate. This was probably one of those times... -L. |

I don't wanna relive that whole episode, because as far as I'm concerned Megan and I both acted badly, and I don't wanna argue about "degrees of acting badly". It's all out there to be googled for those into soap operas. I removed a section of cardboard from the screen door early, and she got upset. I wasn't flinging him around the house by his tail. Anyway, it's clear that I'm not gonna hear back, and with that I'll just accept that's the way it is. We have three cats right now, Louis and Tiger, adopted brothers, and Chloe from California. They've reached equilibrium, and I'm happy. Just seeing those little girls who had first tried to adopt Henry the other day got me curious.

And I do believe that is why Henry got tossed. That is what really kills me. |
