1970.0. "A cat" by SACMAN::FRANCINE () Tue Nov 15 1988 11:41

    
    This is a sad thing..
    
    I have a full grown cat I can't keep.  This cat must go to genuine
    cat lover who understands nuerotic cats.  Found her as a stray,
    and have had her for approx 6 months - my new apt. lets me keep
    her - but she can't go outside and the place is so small I feel
    like its cruelty to animals..(landlord won't let me put her outside).
    
    She's and orange tiger with bulls eyes on each side of her stomach.
    Short hair, but her fur is soft as silk.  Orange eyes.
    
    I don't want to bore everyone and drone on and on so if your interested
    send me mail and I'll drone on and on privately...

1970.1	Why?	ASABET::HUDSON		`Wed Nov 16 1988 08:22`	7
	I guess I really don't understand your note. Why give her away when you can keep her? Even though the place is small she should have no trouble adapting. Where she is only six months old and use to being in the house where is the problem. I have six cats and the last three I got are inside cats, this way I don't have to worry about them (just the others). Cindy
1970.2	The cat will adjust...go for it.	HILLST::MASON	Explaining is not understanding	`Wed Nov 16 1988 09:57`	11
	Along similar lines... I am beginning to believe that the addition of a pal for an inside cat eliminates every reason for them to go out. Like kids who are denied toys, they sulk, but get used to it (inside) after a while. It is so much safer for them, the choice seems a non-choice to me. A few paper/aluminum balls, a shoelace, and a window are all they need for a seemingly happy existance (besides three squares and a warm place to snuggle, of course). Gary
1970.3	I wouldn't like it..	SACMAN::FRANCINE		`Thu Nov 17 1988 09:46`	16
	No, I've had her for six months - she's a year and a half (my guess she's a stray). I feel bad cause the place is weenie and I'm gone all day and she's alone and I think its mean. I mean, I come home and she's like "thank God your here!" and then sometimes I'm only home for an hour and go out again. Re. 2 so you say I should get another cat? She has kittens I could keep one. But then is that okay? My place is like 2 feet by 2 feet. Well maybe I'll keep her. F.
1970.4	She probably likes a small cozy place!	CUPMK::TRACHMAN	ZhivagoCats, Ltd..The Inn is Full..264-8298	`Thu Nov 17 1988 09:57`	4
	Another kitten would help - maybe leaving a radio on so she can hear human voices - E.T.
1970.5	I VOTE TO KEEP HER	AIMHI::OFFEN		`Tue Dec 06 1988 11:13`	13
	Just checking in. Have you kept the cat. I know that my three babies act like I left them for at least a month each time I come home. Of course I * love * all the hugs and kisses that I get each time I walk through the door. It sounds like you have a very loving kitty. Enjoy it. Sandi (Lightning, DejaVu & Thunder's mom)
