861.1THIS IS A FLAME ...VAXWRK::DUDLEYWed Oct 28 1987 17:4113
    FLAME ON:
    
    Well, accuse me of having no sense of humor, but ... I would
    not help anyone who would choose or dismiss a pet based upon
    whether or not it matched the furniture!  Is he for real or
    what?  This is a joke right?   If not, I hope someone worth-
    while adopts the cat, because your roommate doesn't deserve
    that, or any, cat.
    
    FLAME OFF

861.2It should be against the law..TOPDOC::TRACHMANThu Oct 29 1987 09:414
    People should be screened before they are ALLOWED to spend
    time with a cat.  There are some folk that shouldn't be
    given the privilege of cat ownership.
    
861.3I second that emotion!BAGELS::ALLENThu Oct 29 1987 11:178
    
    Cats especially, since there is more to appreciating them than meets
    the eye, but that should be true for ANY pet!  In my opinion, some
    people don't deserve to have their lives enhanced by pets!
    
    hmmmmph!!!!
    
    I stand indignant.                                       
861.4Where is the kitty now?PBA::DALEYThu Oct 29 1987 13:066
    I agree with the noters, HOWEVER, I would hope that we
    could help find this cat a home -- sounds as if it needs
    a place where it can be loved and appreciated. 
    Has the cat been placed yet?

    Whoa, flame off.  It was a partially a joke.  One of the reasons
    he doesn't like the cat is because it doesn't have the traditional
    Siamese colouring.  I think the main reason he wants to get rid
    of it though is the temperment. She's much more independent than the 
    other cat.  Sorry if anyone was offended.
    
    Since people other than those looking for a new cat are reading
    this note, I could use some info on what to do with the cat if
    I can't place it.  I don't want to let my roomate put it to sleep,
    but I've been trying to place her for a couple weeks without 
    results.  Is there an animal center in New Hampshire that will try
    to place a pet????

861.6WHAT???????????EDWIN::BURLEWPurr is my favorite sound!Thu Oct 29 1987 13:1411
    
    FLAME ON
    
    This has got to be a joke!  I find it hard to believe that anyone
    would get rid of a pet because it didn't match the furniture.  Would
    he get rid of his girlfriend because her eyes or hair don't match
    the furniture!???!!!    This guy doesn't deserve a cat!
    
    FLAME OFF
    
    
861.7I DON'T LIKE IT MUCH EITHER, BUT...FIDDLE::GERRYGo ahead, make me PURRR...Thu Oct 29 1987 14:3210
    What is the problem with the cats temprement???   Seems like it
    would be nice if the cat has a particular problem should someone
    want to adopt it.

    PS  I'm as outraged as the rest of you, but it seems as though we
    may have been given only a portion of the story.  Let's work on
    finding a home for the kitty where it is loved, that's wha
    
861.8It's not the cat.....WORDS::SWANBERYWhere I step a weed diesThu Oct 29 1987 15:1215
    
    I don't necessarily see a problem per se with the cat's temperment.
    I don't know a lot about cats, but this one seems to have dual
    personality - � the time it will hide from everyone and the other
    � it's overfriendly.  It also gets nervous when it has to go to
    the vet, but I don't have any scratch marks.  I prefer this cat to my 
    roomate's other one, so I don't see it as a problem.  Just doesn't
    suit my roomate's taste, that's all.  
    
    One additional note, my roomate got the cat he wants to keep from
    his MOTHER and didn't want to get rid of this one until his MOTHER
    offered him another due to arrive next month.  See what I'm 
    getting at?     The color and temperment is probably just an excuse.
    
    Thanks,  Adam.

    Does his mother know he's planning to dump this cat?  Maybe she'll
    take it back?  (and not give him another, I hope.)  What's his name,
    by the way?  I have a feeling the Siamese breeeders in this conference
    would like to know.....
    
861.10Worried but too lateCHEFS::TUDORKIsis & Tarot - the moggie mafiaThu Apr 21 1988 16:278
    The base note to this appears to have been deleted.
    
    What happened to the moggy.  Please, if people find their cat a
    home could they put a note in for anyone that reads the notes later
    and wonders what happened to yet another unwanted cat.
