Phil P. wrote: "Philip" wrote in message ink.net... This is also unconfirmed. Bull****. Conan's recovery was confirmed by *three* different people at the shelter. "Scare?" No. I would use the word "warn". The presenting symptoms indicated a condition more complex than a simple Upper Respiratory Infection. Everyone is not as emphatic as others about animals or cats. There are laws that compel a man to treat an animal with a certain level of care,(This excluded COCK FIGHTING in South Carolina...they do what they want with them) beyond this; you are moving in the direction of an enthusiast, and on up to PURE ASS FREAK. Lemme just ask you, what are shelters for?, why would a shelter have a return policy?, and Am I missing something, The man traded one cat for another. He bought another cat, he was not trying to save a dollar. To the enthusiast...this could be viewed as an outrage.. To the average man...hell, the vet tells you the cat is sick... you go past the return date, and you potentially have a sick cat on your hands long term. What a disapointment, as Philip is not a vet, or equipped no more than the average man is, to handle or take care of a sick cat. He wanted a healthy cat. Give it up dude. Everyone does not share your level of enthusiasm or experience. We obviously all share some level of it, we're all posting on the same forum under cat.things Dang, all I see is a man who tried to nurse a cat back to health. Couldn't just one person say, Oh, man, too bad about the cat Philip, you sure tried! Good luck on the kitten. And leave it at that? So lambast the man for not being pure ass freak material something is wrong. |

"Phil P." wrote in message ... "Philip" wrote in message ink.net... This is also unconfirmed. Bull****. Conan's recovery was confirmed by *three* different people at the shelter. All anyone has to do is call 714-935-6570 and ask. Hector is the manager on duty today. The shelter will be open in a few minutes. Conan's ID is A0700875 since Asshole returned him. When Asshole took him home it was P0710740. To verify that this is Conan, the record states that a Philip _____ adopted him and returned him. I think everyone should call just to express interest in whether he has been adopted and draw attention to him. |

"Rhonda" wrote in message ... Mary, thanks for the history and psychology lessons! I could use both. Hehe. Hehe indeed! But honestly, it makes no sense to divide a human being into "rational" and "emotional" halves. In a healthy person both halves are entwined, and neither is more important, but each is essential to being human. Even a highly functional mind devoid of the interplay of emotion and the things like conscience that go along with our emotions is very scary. It's all part of that old rigid hierarchy that has been blown to bits in the last 50 years. Thank God. Rhonda Mary wrote: "Rhonda" wrote I know you think emotion is a bad thing, and I'm not sure why. It is a really stupid hangover from the Enlightenment, when men still thought women had nothing BUT emotions and Reason was King. The "mind over emotion" dichotomy is a false dichotomy that allows emotionally bankrupt people to feel superior. Emotions like compassion and generousity and love and how deeply we feel them are the measure of our humanity. Someone great once wrote that the measure of any society is how they treat their poor, old, indigent, and other helpless members. I would put pets in there too. Phillip's thinking is not only dangerous, it is passe. His kind are dying out. Thank God. |

Phil P. wrote: "Philip" wrote in message ink.net... "Scare?" No. I would use the word "warn". The presenting symptoms indicated a condition more complex than a simple Upper Respiratory Infection. So what was this mysterious 'complex' disease-- that resolved 2 days later? You never did answer that question. Lets hear it. You don't know enough about cats to know or even suspect a misdiagnosis. My guess is the vet sized you up as a cheap inconsiderate and insensitive creep- as many here have- and suggested you return the cat to the shelter because he thought you would dispose of the cat cruelly if he required additional treatment after his 'warrantee' expired. Yep, I think this sums it up well. Lauren |

Conan is STILL in quarantine. He never was put back up on the adoption line. You don't know enough about cats to know or even suspect a misdiagnosis. I am not going to second guess a vet's recommedation. My guess is... I really don't care about your guesses. Put them in your warmest orifice. |

You call the shelter and talk to the treating DVM yourself. Yeah- he was recovering from a cold. Conan is STILL in quarantine. He never was put back up on the adoption line. That's not what I was told. He was up for adoption as of Friday. Your credibilty is less than zero, so: I tend to believe the people at the shelter. You don't know enough about cats to know or even suspect a misdiagnosis. I am not going to second guess a vet's recommedation. Then you're a fool as well as an asshole and too inept to be entrusted with a cat's life. If your vet couldn't make a diagnosis, you should have sought a second opinion. My guess is... I really don't care about your guesses. Put them in your warmest orifice. We already know you don't care about much- other than your own, half-dead, cheap, decrepit, old self. You probably gave the vet the same impression you've given this group. So: the only reason a vet would advise you to return the cat to the shelter is because he thought you would dispose of the cat, probably cruelly if he required additional treatment after his 'warrantee' expired. Another question: Why did a decrepit old cretin like you adopt a kitten when you'll probably be dead before he reaches puberty? |
