421.0. "A Halloween Warning" by AIMHI::PMURPHY () Tue Oct 20 1992 10:26

Of black kittens/cats this season........


Saw a "free" ad in last week's paper that read:

	"HALLOWEEN Kittens (2) 1 witch black and 1 pumpkin orange
	 Free". ( and tel. #)

I just had to call the # to at least warn the person who put ad in 
paper. I'm sure from talking to this woman she put it in like this to make 
them sound more attractive for someone to want but the "witch black" kitten 
is the one I worried about (as well as all the other black cats/kittens 
outside at this time of year).  I warned her of being careful who might want
that particular kitten because of the various cults who like to torture and 
kill black kittens/cats during Halloween season.  She thanked me very much 
for letting her know this and said she'd screen anyone carefully.

    good for you- that was smart thinking. Hopefully she will
    heed your warning.

421.2Halloween - the down side....WARNING!BUSY::MANDILEThat's L-y-n-n-e with an E!Thu Oct 22 1992 07:1811
    
    WARNING:  Please be careful if you have an all white or
    mostly white cat!  It's getting close to Halloween, and most
    people are aware that black cats may be taken for satanic rituals
    or to be abused out of ignorance.
    
    Well, white cats are now also in the same boat, as they are considered
    "pure".  I was informed of this last night by the shelter, as they
    have had calls requesting all white or black cats.

421.3Damn them (I'm sure they like that too)AIMHI::PMURPHYThu Oct 22 1992 11:146
    Oh great!  I suppose they'll eventually want to sacrifice cats of ALL
    colors for one of their stupid reasons.  And no, I don't respect their
    (cults) difference of opinion.

    Gee, I didn't think of this.  I have an all black cat.  I think I'll
    keep her in for a couple weeks.
    
    Thank you.
