| Well, I really *should* list Karma. I mean, anyone [oops, anycat]
who gets a pre-approved credit card in the mail surely deserves
special people-treatment.

Publishers Clearing House $10,000,000 sweepstakes entry form a few
months back.

| Funny you should bring that up - I was really put out that they
only ask for DOGS! Nothing mentioned about CATS. BUT, then I
thought that if they know how many I have, it could present a
different problem, so I figured I'd let will enough alone.
re: 1040 - YEAH, sigh

| 3485.6 | Boy would it help! | PFSVAX::PETH | My kids are horses | Wed Apr 04 1990 10:08 | 4 |
| The hard part is getting the required social security number! If
only we could, I have eight "kids",2 horses,2 dogs,4 kittys.

| I have seven "kids", 1 horse, 4 cats & 2 rabbits. The only
prblem listing them on the census is that I would use more
than the seven spaces alotted, and the census would call to
get the rest of the "family" names.
I don't think I could convince them they are my "Kids". :&>!

I should think anyone(cat) that gets as much junk mail as my two should
be listed on the census. Panther got an application for Platinmum(SP?)
Amex, I refused to mail it in for her. Sure would be a hoot to fill
out the application though:
Occupation: Madam in a cat house
Annual income: All of it
marital status: If your rich, I'm single
Charecter references: HRH Pookie, Argus J. Pussycat Esq, (Her
lawyer), Guido the doberman, Her loan shark.
Name: P. Jane Spingler
They really should let us list them on the census, then we might be
able to get them on the 1040!!!
Felines, Stand up (or lie down) and BE COUNTED!!!

| 3485.10 | me too,, | AIMHI::MCCURDY | | Wed Apr 04 1990 13:49 | 21 |
| O.K I confess.. I did include a "little note in my response
about including "kitties.."but I did not copmose the verbage
HRH did.." I also informed them that shoudl they have
any questions or concerns they may call me..
I will also confess to some thing else.. Ya know that "awful
Phillips Light bulb commercial.. well I wrote to them tooo..
they sent me a "very nice Letter of empathy.. note not an
apology.. along with a CASE of Phillips lightbulbs. We do not
use Philips lightbulbs in my house.. we sent them to
"charity"... Pookie and I wanted to do other "things"
with them.. but that would be very unlady like.. so we decided
that charity might be answer.. that allowed us to feel better
kinda.. and "someone from Phillips called me to ask if I had
recieved" thier "token. I replied.. Yes, and I donated to
a worthy cause.. as I will not use products like that in my home..
I told that person.. they should remove that commericial form
the circulation asap.. they did admit, they had recieved other
letters and the like and they were "reviewing the situation,,
you will note that comemercial does "air " too frequently"...
Kate.. who still does not use Philips lightbulbs..

Did I miss something?
Kate, can I ask what you're talking about? We went from
claiming our kitties on our taxes to a Philips lightbulb
commercial! =)
Oh, and what commercial is this? I dont' know that I've seen
it?

| I'd glad someone wrote in about that Phillips light bulb commercial.
They have someone vacumming near a cat, the light bulb burns out, and in
the darkness we hear that the vacumn has run into the cat.

Not really pertaining to cats but to injury done to animals..
Did anyone watch "Unsolved Mysteries" last night? There was
a story on there about a woman who bought a 110 acre farm
in Missouri (I think) and built a kennel to house stray dogs.
Well someone didn't like her or the animals as they began
terrorizing. One night this "person" shot 3 of the dogs, killing
two and injuring one. (he turned out ok) Then a time after that
the whole kennel was set on fire. Her hired hand was only able
to rescue one of the dogs....59 OTHERS PERISHED IN THE FIRE!!
She has since rebuilt her kennel and this time it is attached
to her house. She had an 8' masonry wall built and has two big
dogs who don't like people to stand guard. She is still receiving
threats but she refuses to move. Fortunately nothing as disastrous
as the fire has happened again. The police have no leads on it.
But I hope if/when they do find this "creature" they prosecute him
to the full extent of the law. Burning to death poor defenseless
creatures is totally heartless.
BTW - the kennel is now home to over 150 dogs.....

| 3485.17 | I saw it too!! | AIMHI::MCCURDY | | Thu Apr 05 1990 13:02 | 11 |
| Yes, I also saw "Unsolved mysteries".. I did see most of the
story you are referring to.. except for the fire part, I changed
the channel, I then switched it back afterward,, that was sooooo
sad, a friend of mine called me last nite, she had also
watched it, and she tried calling their 800 number,
(no she does not have any clues), but she was wondering
if although the lady had rebuilt her kennel, if their was
away to amke donations to the kennel and in memory of
those poor puppies.. She was unable to get thru. I also
hope they get those people who did that..

Kate,
Yes it was depressing. I found myself almost in tears.
Especially when she started talking about it and started
crying. I don't even want to think of the mental anguish
that wonderful woman went through. I think she's very brave
not to give up and keep on doing what she's doing.
The donation thing is a wonderful idea. I didn't even think
of it.
