    Yes, the Classified Ads notes is in TECHNO::CLASSIFIED_ADS.

    By the way, it gets a lot of use, and has a limited number

	 My impression  of  what was asked in .0 is whether or not there
     is a Buy/Sell/Swap _note_ in _this conference_.  Correct me if I am
     wrong,  but I don't believe there is.  If we want to start one, how
     about using this note, since the title is already there ;^).

	Madam moderator(s)??

The moderators have no problem with this note being used to buy/sell/swap
items pertaining to cats and cat care.  Any other items will not be allowed.
This can only be used for one-time items - services (such as cat sitting,
etc) should not be posted here.  Also, we would appreciate it if you
would delete your reply once your request is satisfied.

We have added a keyword of BUY-SELL-SWAP to this note.

I am trying to find a scale to weigh my cats with, and hope someone can
offer suggestions.  

Basic Requirements:
	must weigh up to 20 lbs.
	should weigh in lbs. and oz., or at least 1/4-lbs.
	would prefer digital readout, not a spring or balance scale
	needs to be big/flat enough to hold a cat

My first thought was a baby scale, although I don't know if they are
available with digital feature -- but very few stores sell them, and the
two that I have seen looked like toys, unlikely to be at all accurate.

I then thought of the kind of scales that delicatessens use to weigh out
cold cuts and the like, and found a restaurant supply store and a scale
company that have them -- for $300 and up!!  Now, I love my cats and want 
to be able to keep accurate records of their weight, but $300 for a scale 
is out of the question. I don't have any current problems with their weight
but my eldest is getting up there in years and I don't want to just rely 
on my memory of what his normal weight looks like, if it starts going down 
I'd like to know based on real evidence.  Weight loss could indicate a 
problem and that why I want to have some accuracy in the measurement.

Anybody else have ideas?  I tried asking my vet but since they don't weigh
the cats they really couldn't help.  I have no problems with buying used
equipment, that would help lower the cost I'm sure.

General search area is southern NH/norther MA, but side trips anywhere in
the Northeast would be possible.  Please help!

    Does anyone use Edge or K-Zyme?  I have tried both and my cats won't
    touch thier food with either of the additives in it.  So I have almost
    a full container of each.  If anyone is interested in it let me know.
    
    MaryAnne

    I have a scratch board (carpeted) that my cat absolutely refuses
    to use - she prefers the corrugated box type, so I would like
    to get rid of it for a few bucks.  Anyone interested please contact
    me on dtn 297-7261 or MCIS1::michaelson.
    
    

    I know there is a note on Ozium somewhere but mine is intended to sell
    my automatic dispenser if anyone is interested.
    
    I purchased it back in April at the Boxboro show so it's still fairly
    new.  It has only used one can of ozium and I believe the batteries are
    still fresh (might need new ones soon).
    
    If someone is interested I can bring it to the Framingham show on 9/23. 
    
    Oh, and of course I'll undercut the original cost :^) !!

    Hi,
    
    Have any of you noticed the corduroy catnip mice that Hadleigh House
    sells?  Wellll, I have made a bunch of the same - they are about 
    6 - 8 inches long, fat, and have catnip and tails.  I have a few
    here in my office, and will have lots at the Framingham show.  If
    you are interested, send me mail.  I'd rather not get into shipping
    them if possible.  The mice are machine washable, VERY sturdy -
    almost indestructable (Field Tested by 16 cats) and lots of fun
    for years!  I've had some for about 3 years and not a hole in them.
    
    Price:  $2.50 each
    
    E.T. MK01-2/Pole D15

    I can't remember if there's a wanted note or not, so if this
    should be moved, let me know and I'll move it.
    
    Wanted:  Used Tokyo Cage, clean and in good condition
    I would also consider a cage about the same size as a tokyo cage.
    
    I'm going to need some more comfortable cage space for my kitties
    in the near future.
    
    So if you have a cage or know of anyone who does, let me know.

    Check CANINE Nancy, There is a for sale note with several 
    large crates and pens available there.....maybe something
    there would work?

    Cat bed NEVER used.  Green with roses on it.  Very Victorian looking.
    My cat thought I had lost it when I gave it to her.  I bought it
    for $40 but will sell it for $25. It is one of those foam filled
    soft sided types.  Moderator if this belongs elsewhere please move
    it.

	FREE - to whoever wants to pick up in ZKO3:  a nearly full bag of 
	Coski's Choice Tuna Crunch Cat Treats.  My sister bought this at
	Quincy Market for my cats for Christmas.  While they're quite
	intrigued by the smell of these treats, they absolutely won't eat
	them.  The treats themselves kinda look like kitty chips, and are
	made from all natural ingredients.

	My office is ZKO3-3/T01, right outside the Runge-Kutta Conference
	Room - take your first right after coming out of the cafeteria, 
	and the R-K is the second conf. room on your right as you walk
	down the hall.

    I have a two story cylander cat condo for sale.  It is carpeted in a
    nice light beige color inside and out and is perfect for the petite cat
    or kittens.  My boys are just too darn large to enjoy it, except for
    Murdock, who is small but shows little to no interest.
    
    Like new condition; will sell for $25.  Paid $40 w/tax.
    
    I live in Grafton, work in SHR1.
    
    --Roberta
    

    I find myself with a couple of extra Tokyo cages.  One is brand
    new, still in the box (um, I better check that -- maybe I've got
    an empty box in the storage room!?).  The other is used, but in
    good condition (no rust on bars, etc.).
    
    Make me an offer, for either, or for both.  YOU pick up.
    
    I live in Arlington, MA, minutes from Route 2.
    
    	Pennie

    Sorry for delay...
    
    I will reply to those who inquired about the Tokyo cages
    in a day or two.
    
    There are 2-4 cages available...I have to take a total
    inventory, including shelves, condition of used cages, etc.
    
    	Pennie

    I also have several sets of show cage curtains that I no longer
    need.
    
    These are all cotton/poly, "wash 'n wear", from Village
    Stitchery (or some name like that).
    
    Colors:
    
    	sky blue reversible to pink
    
    	pink reversible to burgundy
    
     	pale green reversible to pale green w/soft flower pattern
    
    	??? gotta check
    
    All are double cage size, include tops, bottoms, maybe a divider,
    	and are double (so you get covering inside and outside the
    	wire cage.
    
    All are used, but clean (no stains) and in very good condition.
    
    As with Tokyo cages, I will do an inventory and get back.
    
    (I just splurged on new curtains...just what I needed, huh?  :-)

         Since Loki can no longer have any other food except W/d (and I
    can't give Bigfoot or Midnight anything different - I feel too
    guilty!), I have the following food for sale:
    
         23 cans of 9-lives 6� oz. size:
               3 Beef and Liver
               2 Chicken
               3 Liver and Chicken
              11 Sliced Beef
               4 Sliced Veal 
    
    I got them for 3/$1.00 about 1� months ago - will sell them at 5/$1.00
    or all 23 for $4.50.
    
         I also have one can of Hill's Prescription K/d.  I got this a
    couple of years ago, so if it's no longer any good please let me know
    and I'll throw it away.  Otherwise, I'd like to get $1.00 for it.
    
         Thanks!

    Canned goods are really only good for about a year I believe.  Then
    they should be trashed.  Perhaps you could put it out for the 
    raccoons.

    I've got an almost brand-new kitty box with locking top, filter, etc
    for a medium-size cat.  It's really in perfect shape... clean.  My
    cats outgrew this thing after about a month (both over 20 lbs). It's
    jut sitting in the garage.  Bought at a pet store, so it's quality.
    
    	Interested ?  

    I need a used cat cage (a comfortable one, please) for my precious
    Kiki.  Please contact me via VMS on SOLVIT::KAUFMAN, no phone calls
    please.
    
    Thanks,

    Is there anyone out there that has any use for Premiership rosettes and 
    ribbons?  I am in a cleaning frenzy and as long as I have the Bales' first
    and last rosette the rest can go (can you beleive it, roe? ;') ).
    
    

    You could send them to me but .... I'm in the UK :-(
    
    Lisa.
    

    
    No big deal, how expensive could it be?  I would rather send them
    than throw them away. Some of them are very pretty especially the
    ones from Jo's show last January and the show that we granded at.  
    Send me your mailing address (SANFAN::BALZERMA) and I'll get them 
    out as soon as I can.
    

    Marlene, you sure are practical!!  I remember the showing days and how
    thrilled I was each time Murdock was awarded a rosette.  Maybe someday
    I will be able to part with them.  For now, they continue to hang on
    the tribute board we made in his memory.
    
    Karen kept Bailey's Best Alter rosette and ditched the rest (I think!).
    

    I've been wondering what to do with my boxes of rosettes from Bailey
    and Amelia's show days.  I want to keep the BEST and 2nd BEST ones
    but I think I'd be able to part with the rest.
    
    Jo, do you know if any of the clubs around here accept old rosettes
    as donations?  I seem to remember a TICA show in Monterey where we 
    got recycled ribbons.
    
    Jan

    You might check with the Fresno club.  Seems they had a show on April
    Fool's day and gave us all recycled rosettes.  Also, they did a
    Holiday's show and gave us all rosettes recycled from holiday theme
    shows.  This was last May I think.  It was kind of neat.
    
    Also, maybe some of the rosette companies could recycle parts of them.
