| If it isn't too far away...Please call Priscilla from Pat
Brody Memorial Shelter which is in Lunenburg. You would be
in your glory...there are long/short hair cats of all ages,
there is also about 23 kittens just recently born.
There are some gorgeous looking cats...I'm sure you could find
the Omlette of your choice!! Priscilla's #508-582-4539.
Good luck....Sandy

| 4590.2 | Where have all the kittens gone ... | XNOGOV::LISA | Give quiche a chance | Thu Apr 25 1991 11:55 | 11 |
| I have just called Christine (she is in the UK by the way ....)
As usual, there are no kittens in the UK! All the shelters are empty!
It is sooooo frustrating to see all the ads from the US. I think the
last ad for a UK kitty up for adoption was over a year ago.
I am about to contact some people to see what I can do ....
Lisa.

| Oh well...I guess it's too far away!!! I thought it was
Reading, Mass.
It's sad that there are so many kitties over here.....but none
over there. Wish I could be of more help!!

| How is it that the UK seems to not have a cat overpopulation problem?
Is it that people are really responsible about neutering?
|
| 4590.5 | No kittens (again!) | XNOGOV::LISA | Give quiche a chance | Fri Apr 26 1991 05:00 | 11 |
| There are plenty of adult cats that need adopting, but there always
seems to be a shortage of kittens. Before we got Rolf (our Aby), we
searched for a shelter kitten. There just weren't any! Out of
desparation we decided to go for a pedigree - glad we did ;-) Last
night I called several people that I know take in strays - no kittens!
Most people I know that have cats make sure that they get
spayed/neutered. I think this is the "normal" thing to do in the UK,
but there are exceptions!

| I feel rather silly looking for a kitten when it was only a week ago I
had Mushroom done !!! But according to everyone it was the best thing
to do since there were so many homeless kitties, but we also had the
problem that she was so mad.....I have never known such a batty cat !!
Oh well, here's hoping !! Thanks everyone !!

The RSPCA no in Reading is 0734 352066
The cat protection league is 0734 429841
Try some vets, they might be able to help - Valley Vets in Pangbourne
0734 - 843221, or Castle Hill vets in Tilehurst 0734 - 574488.
I'll keep my eyes open, but there are always queues for kitties, the
best thing to do is spread the word around friends, I'll ask around.
- have you thought about putting a "wanted" notice up in DECpark?
Good luck,
Heather

| 4590.8 | Just a thought.... | BOOVX1::MANDILE | I could never kill a skeet! | Fri Apr 26 1991 08:20 | 1 |
| Are there any local farms that might have kittens out there?
|
| 4590.9 | Farm Ferals | SUBURB::MARSHC | | Fri Apr 26 1991 09:22 | 7 |
| Yes, Many local farms have kittens due in about a week, the majority
of them turn out feral cats and are very wild in nature. However my
boyfriends sister has four ferals out of her nine cats and they seem
to get on very well with the others, although tend to be very timid
when it comes to us humans !!!

| 4590.10 | I've found Omlette | EARLEY::MARSHC | | Tue May 07 1991 05:22 | 10 |
| At last I have found Omlette in the form of a six week old black &
ginger kitten. I got her from Heath Farm Kennels near Newbury (UK) on
Saturday, she is georgous (although Mushroom has yet to be convinced)
Thanks for everones help - especially Lisa & Thelma - my family is now
complete.
Thanks

Well done, getting a kitty is not an easy challenge, I'm very pleased
you've been able to find such a cute little moggie.

|
| 4590.13 | Ill Omlette | EARLEY::MARSHC | | Tue May 07 1991 08:37 | 11 |
| My Godness, I wrote to tell you of Omlette only 4 hours ago and already
she has been to the vet...I have just taken her for a check up in my
lunch break to find she has a bunged up rear !!! She has had 1
injection, a bottle of vitamins, liquid medicine to take and no food
but for boiled rice and water until he sees her again tommorow night !!
Poor Kitty !! I hope I will have lots of stories, it doesn't look to
good at the moment !!

| 4590.14 | Congratulations! | CSSE::MANDERSON | | Tue May 07 1991 10:06 | 12 |
| I do hope Omlette is feeling much better. Our Tiffany got the 'runs'
(severely) and was dehydrated about a week after adopting her. She had
a rough time of it for a couple of days but managed to pull through with
flying colors.
I keep reading how difficult it is in your Country to adopt kittens so
I am very happy to read that you found your new baby.
Good luck to you and give her a (gentle) hug for me!
Marilyn, Otis and Tiffany

| 4590.15 | Get well soon Omlette! | XNOGOV::LISA | Give quiche a chance | Tue May 07 1991 11:00 | 5 |

| 4590.16 | Welcome Omlette | SANFAN::FOSSATJU | | Tue May 07 1991 12:00 | 5 |
| Congratulations on Omlette - I think you've chosen the cutest names for
your babies. I sure Omlette will be fine - keep us posted as to her
progress.

| 4590.17 | | TENAYA::KOLLING | Karen/Sweetie/Holly/Little Bit Ca. | Tue May 07 1991 13:06 | 5 |
| Please let us know how Omlette is doing. My Sweetie had a
"bunged up rear" from a car accident before I got him, and
although it was very worrisome and required a delicate operation,
he is now fine.
|
| 4590.18 | Omlette sounds like a sweetheart! | MCIS2::HUSSIAN | But my cats *ARE* my kids!! | Tue May 07 1991 16:57 | 9 |
| Yes, Holly, I'd say so!! You didn't mention that Sweetie is more than
just FINE! He's a PRIZE WINNER!! (see the "something to brag about"
note for details!!)
I'm happy to hear you've found a kitty in the UK!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
I sure hope the little guy is OK!! Please keep us posted!!

| 4590.19 | Little Nutter !! | SUBURB::MARSHC | | Wed May 08 1991 05:15 | 11 |
| Well, Last night, Omlette was in top form and driving me nuts. Her
diet of rice and white meat doesn't seem to suit and she keeps darting
into the kitchen to see if she can't get away with eating Mushroom's
'normal' dinner !!! I can't believe how lively she is for such a small
creature, at the size of a postcard (in 3 di') she is now
climbing the sofa, the beds, the stairs......Help !!!!
Anyway she's due back at the vet tonight so I'll let you know if she's
well and truely fit tommorow morning....I have a feeling she is
somehow.

| Ah ... sounds like home. All seven of mine are remarkably agile
these days. Tiffany climbed the screen yesterday. Now mind you,
the screen doesn't start until about 2.5 ft or so off the ground
so she had to jump up that high first! She's going to be a little
hellion, I can tell.
Sounds like Omlette is going to keep you and Mushroom vveerrrrryyyyy
busy. :^)

| 4590.21 | CHIPS ????????? | SUBURB::MARSHC | | Mon May 13 1991 08:50 | 10 |
| What can I say, This weekend was mad......every five seconds we had to
chase Omlette out of the kitchen to stop her from eating Mushrooms cat
food !! The worst part is now my boyfriend wants to get a dog too.
And guess what he want to call it.....yes Chips. There will be men in
whate coats waiting to grab when I'm calling them all in....
Mushroom !!!....Omlette !!...& Chips....people will be lining up for
dinner outside me front door !!

| > Mushroom !!!....Omlette !!...& Chips....people will be lining up for

I understand how you feel, my ginger tom's called Cider, and the
tortoiseshell I had a few years ago was called Scrumpy!
I didn't feel as daft as a friend of mine tho', who called his two
Benson and Hedges!
Hic!

| 4590.24 | names | POWDML::SIMARD | Just Practicing for Life | Mon May 13 1991 15:47 | 14 |
| I used to stand at the front door and call the cat (mimicking my
mothers sing-song soprano cat call voice) to come in, summer times she
just doesn't want to leave her tree so I would have to call quite a
bit. One night a neighbor was walking up to her front door and turned
around and said, "if you gave her a decent name she'd come home".
Well, 10 years later I'm still doing it and the cats name is the
same...
TWIT
I just love the word.

| 4590.25 | Holy Field Spitz | SUBURB::MARSHC | | Tue May 14 1991 03:35 | 8 |
| On the same day I got Omlette my friends, Phil & Paula got 2 kittens.
Phil happens to be a boxing fan so when his kitty decided it would hiss
and swear and through a couple of punches at the other kittie he called
it HOLY FIELD SPITZ, the other was such a little scruffy thing Paula
called it GIZMO.
Mushroom & Omlette are preetttty tame don't you think ??
