TBird wrote in message k.net... Well, ya' see, I like living healthy cats. I'm kinda partial to that version over the half eaten by foxes variety that comes home as a bloodied collar. SNIPPAGE Just now, I went to bring the horses in and was pleasantly surprised to find... *a barn cat*!!! WAHOOOO! A gorgeous calico medium hair feral. S/he was terrified of me, did not respond to trills at all, and ran at the earliest opportunity. I put out a bowl of water - it's going to be 98F here today. I'm so excited! Another cat, and a mouse catcher! I'm so excited! I'm gonna work on stealing this cat, wherever s/he came from. Gonna lure the cat with fresh water and maybe a cozy nest. I should be ashamed of myself, but I'm not. Because I know that A) cats pick their own humans, and B) I take really good care of the cats in my life. So there. I confess. And you can't stop me. TBird --- cat thief Actually, I'd say you're more of a cat BURGLAR. =o) If people are careless with their cats when they know there are dangers awaiting them outside, I don't think they have a lot of grounds for complaint if the cats end up choosing new humans.

TBird --- cat thief The way I see it, you're saving LIVES here, plain and simple. If people can't or won't take proper care of their cats, you are commended for stepping in and saving them from a terrible fate. There is no question that you hold the high moral ground here!!! Good for you!

There is no question that you hold the high moral ground here!!! Good for you! I agree. In order for you to be seen as a thief in that situation, you'd have to subscribe to the notion that a cat is a person's property. And while that might be true legally, I don't believe it is morally. I agree you did the right thing! Joyce |

"CATherine" wrote in message ... Where in Colorado? I live halfway between Colo. Sprgs and Limon. -- CATherine Why do you ask? Missing a cat? ;-) Actually, I live way north, north of Fort Collins off I-25. I used to live in Louisville (where the cat got eaten), outside of Boulder. By the way - I haven't seen the barn cat again. :-( TBird ---- trying to figure out how to feed the cat without feeding the mice... |
