1248.0. "Want/Need Short-Haired Kitten" by WORTH2::SROBBINS () Thu Apr 07 1988 10:10

    My family is recovering from the death of our dear Schwartz, who
    was the world's greatest black cat (at least to us).  And less than
    a year ago we lost James, who was the world's greatest tiger cat.
    So ... our home really needs a kitten or two.
    
    We'd prefer short-hair kittens, and we'd really like an all-grey
    male and/or an orange male.
    
    We live about an hour northwest of Boston, but we'd travel for a
    really good kitten.

1248.2anna/zildjian/paradiddleRATTLE::LANDRYM-E-O-WWWThu Apr 07 1988 11:445
    I second the motion for adopting note 1246!
    
    I would *love* another, but two is enough!

    I'm sorry about the loss of your cats.  Little Khalife, who lives
    next door to me, is "my" first black cat, and he send his condolences
    too.

1248.7plenty out there to love, they just need a chanceBOEHM::C_SANDSTROMThu Apr 14 1988 16:239
    
    
    Please check out notes 1246, 1265, 1272....and right now there are
    177 replies to the adoption note (#415) - they all sound so sweet,
    and gentle, just right for snuggling after your loss.  Afterall, my 
    mom taught me that it was what's inside that counts, not what color 
    you are on the outside.

1248.8Older cats want/need homes too!GRECO::MORGANDoris Morgan DTN 223-9594Thu Apr 14 1988 23:4311
    I would just like to encourage you to think about giving a home to an
    adult cat or two, ones who otherwise would not have an opportunity for
    love and affection from a family such as yourselves.  The satisfaction
    of giving these less adoptable cats a chance really may help ease the
    pain of losing your dear friends, Schwartz and James.  I know that we
    all want the fun of cute little kittens, but you might be surprised how
    much enjoyment you can get from an older, affectionate, well-adjusted
    cat.  And there have been many offered through this conference! 
    
    Anyway, I'm sure that whether you adopt kittens or older cats, you'll
    give them an excellent home and will get years of pleasure in return!!
1248.9YES YES YES DO DO DOLEDS::COHENFri Apr 15 1988 11:235
    Since I have one of those "older, affectionate, well-adjusted" cats
    up for adoption in this file (1246), I heartily endorse Doris Morgans'
    statement.  My cat Meep is smallish for an adult, and very kittenish
    in her behavior.  Think about checkin' her out, OK ?  She and I
    would really appreciate it.
1248.10I agree!VAXWRK::SKALTSISDebFri Apr 15 1988 11:446
    RE: .8
    
    I agree!!  4 of my six were adopted as adults, and I love them just
    as much the twins (who I adopted as kittens).

1248.13Huh?STAR::BARTHWed May 04 1988 19:314
    OK, I'll bite... what is a "money" kitten?  I thought I was pretty
    knowledgeable about cats, but that's a new one on me.
