Two all black littermates. Male (George) and Female (Cordelia). All
shots, spay/neuter, King County licenses. Bolth animals have
"Hemmingway" toes (six toes on each front paw). Excellent hunting
instincts. Indoor sleepers, outdoors most days. Well tempered, kid
friendly critters.

Ideal home is suburban or rural area with safe outdoor areas. Small
farms in need of mousers ideal. Will deliver.

Baby is alergic, so thats why they need new homes.

If you're interested, please cc a response to my e-mail address, as I
don't follow this group.

Thanks!

It is usually best to charge money for a cat since it
will help find someone who is committed to taking care of
a cat. Any reasonable fee ($40 - $50 per cat) is nowhere near
the cost of the care of a cat for a year.

If someone responds to the ad that is trying to get a free cat,
it might be difficult to say that there is a fee for the kitties, but
anyone who really cares about their pet will be very understanding,
and anyone who is manipulative or objects is NOT someone
that should be trusted with a cat!

Also, insisting on delivering both cats to their new home and
having visiting rights are a great idea. This will not bother a
person who cares about a cat!

Best of luck, and there have been extensive posts about
treating allergies to pets on some of the cat newsgroups,
and there might be something useful in the postings.

Well here is another post from someone who has decided to dump cats because
of an easy to solve problem. Let me see, you value the human baby's life
over another life. People like you disgust me. Instead of solving the
problem you treat the cats like your human child's diaper and get rid of
them. Cats should also be indoors as they could fall prey to bad humans, get
hit by cars or get in fights with other cats. You should never have adopted
the cats if you weren't willing to care for them. All cats deserve good and
loving homes.

In the spirit of good communication, I'll tell you what I'm going to tell
you, then I'll tell you , then I'll tell you what I've just told you.

To start: Go fuck yourself.

Now the detail...

> Well here is another post from someone who has decided to dump cats
because
> of an easy to solve problem.

Realy? Tell me what you think you know about my son's sinuses. As you
can't, I'll sum up your knowledge on the matter:

-You don't know dick.-

> Let me see, you value the human baby's life over another life.

Absolutely. I'd put their furry little heads on spikes and make muffs from
their pelts if Jr was cold. The fact that you don't value human life over
animal life exposes you as a real lonely sicko.

Here's some more news that I'm quite sure will send you right over the edge:
The cats are my property. I own them. They aren't my "babies" (I have
babies) and they aren't "part of the family" (I have family.) They are
pets, and they live in my home for the sole purpose of amusing me, my
babies, and my family. Beyond that, they have no rights whatsover that I
do not grant them. They eat what I feed them, and they sleep where I tell
them. Their face isn't found carved into the family totem. I have decided
that the discomfort they cause my son means they don't get to live in my
home anymore. Because they have been good cats, I'd like to ensure that
they go somewhere where they can enjoy the bennefits of having an owner as
generous as I.

And that is exactly how it's going to be.

> People like you disgust me.

Yeah, I guess caring about the health of your children makes you a real
monster.

You're pathetic.

> Instead of solving the problem you treat the cats like your human child's
diaper and get rid of
> them.

You keep saying "human child" as if there were some other kind. Perhaps you
have misunderstood the problem. My child is alergic to cats. The problem
is solved by removing the cats. Simple enough for even a moron like you to
understand.

> Cats should also be indoors as they could fall prey to bad humans, get
> hit by cars or get in fights with other cats

Bullshit. Large cats are apex preditors. Domesticated cats don't rise to
that level, but they share the same predatory instincts, and need to be
outside where they can excercise them. Keeping a cat indoors all the time
is cruel and unnatural. Just because you're lonely, doesn't mean your cat
is.

You should have never adopted a cat if you are unable to provide for even
it's most basic level of care. Do the right thing, and find tabby a new
home, as you are obviously unable to care for him.

> You should never have adopted the cats if you weren't willing to care for
them. All cats deserve good and
> loving homes.

Tell me what you think you know about the care my cats recieve. As you
can't, I'll sum up your knowledge on the matter:

-You don't know dick. - Again.

So, in summary: Go fuck yourself.

Sincerely,

-Jerome O'Neil

Wow? I can't believe that is the best color metaphore you can come up with.
You are a disgusting excuse for a human being for just dumping the cat.
Allergies can be easily dealt with. I know plenty of people who have cats
and allergies and they are willing to handle it. I think the thing you don't
like is someone who has enough guts to stand up to a cat dumper and call his
bluff. I know of too many people like you. The family has a baby and thus
they dump the cat. Because of people like you who use weak excuses, many
cats end up in shelters and thus are either euthanized or are now waiting
for adoption for quite a while at the no-kill shelters. I myself just
rescued another cat because the people moved away and thus dumped the cat.
If you were not willing to care for these cats for the rest of their lives
you should not have adopted them.

Your answer of how you see these cats shows me that either a. You are a
troll or B. an asshole who feels life has a price. You say I don't know what
I am talking about when it comes to cats. I'd put my education of cats and
the time I have taken to rescue them over yours any day of the week. Your
post which belittles cats and how you seem them as creatures which are there
for your amusement really shows your lack of compassion. You also feel cats
should eat where you tell them and do what you tell them. You think that
makes you superior? I got news for you, you aren't superior and your lack of
compassion proves it. As for the human child thing. There are other types of
children. I see my cats as my children and I would never dump them. Also you
have no idea how to care for cats if you believe they will be just fine
outdoors. I'd like to see you spout your viewpoint to a no-kill shelter the
next time a cat is hit by a car or dumped by some human like yourself.

You say you think they are good cats and thus must go to "an owner" who is
as generous as you? You really do have an ego don't you? I guess you feel by
bragging about how generous you have been makes you a real humanitarian
doesn't it? Face it, you are dumping two cats as if they were beer cans.
That doesn't make you a hero in my book. Also you are dead wrong about a
cat's need to be outside. Cats live a much fuller life indoors and a happier
one as well. You obviously don't know anything about cats. All I can say is
I feel very sorry for you as you are a poor excuse for a human being.

So, you know lots more pathetic losers that place their little kitties over
the welfare of their children? Big surprise there. Birds of a feather, and
all that.

Stand up and call my bluff? Partner, you got more e-muscle than anyone I
know. If you're ever in town, feel free to drop by and stand up. I'm in
the book.

So, my bluff is called. The cats are still going, though. They have as
much say in the matter as you do.

> I know of too many people like you. The family has a baby and thus

Hey stupid, you're talking out your ass again. I've got three kids. They
aren't anything new around here.

Y'know, I never even thought of just running them down to the vet and having
them put to sleep. I'm glad to know its an option, though.

> I myself just rescued another cat because the people moved away and thus
dumped the cat.

How noble. So you have multiple cats locked in the house (or let me guess,
two bedroom appartment)? If you think that's humane, you are seriously
fucked up. How many you got in there, a dozen?

I myself am donating time, resources, and money for a children's cancer
society.

> If you were not willing to care for these cats for the rest of their lives
> you should not have adopted them.

Bullshit. I made a lifetime commitment to my wife and my kids. The cats,
like all property, are here for as long as I wish them to be.

> Your answer of how you see these cats shows me that either a. You are a
> troll or B. an asshole who feels life has a price.

The cat's life does have a price. For these two, it's free. That's what
they cost me, and I'd like to pass that along to their new owners.

> You say I don't know what I am talking about when it comes to cats.

It's self evident.

> I'd put my education of cats and the time I have taken to rescue them over
yours any day of the week.

Today is a good day. Your contention that a high level predetor is better
off indoors all the time speaks volumes about what you know. Let me sum it
up:

-You don't know dick.- Again.

> Your post which belittles cats and how you seem them as creatures which

> for your amusement really shows your lack of compassion.

Your willingness to allow children to suffer exposes you as a subhuman
freak.

My compassion is placed with those that deserve it. Sick kids deserve it.
Fat, healthy cats headed for a good home don't need it.

> You also feel cats should eat where you tell them and do what you tell
them. You think that
> makes you superior?

Opposable thumbs, walking upright, and the ability to reason make me
superior. It doesn't surprise me that you don't understand that.

> As for the human child thing. There are other types of children.

No there aren't. There a pets, and there freaks that project human
characteristics onto pets to compensate for some deep emotional or
psychological shortcoming.

The rest of us know the difference between our children and our pets.

> I see my cats as my children and I would never dump them.

See? Case in point.

And its quite evident that you don't know dick about kids, either.

> Also you have no idea how to care for cats if you believe they will be
just fine
> outdoors.

Cats have survived outdoors for millions of years, and will continue to
survive outdoors for quite some time. Or did you think they were invented
along with your scrubby little apartment?

> I'd like to see you spout your viewpoint to a no-kill shelter the
> next time a cat is hit by a car or dumped by some human like yourself.

Us humans have a saying: Shit happens.

If you aren't set up to allow the cat to be outside in a safe environment,
you aren't set up for the cat. Do the right thing, and give it up to a good
home.

> You say you think they are good cats and thus must go to "an owner" who is
> as generous as you?

Thats the first thing you've said that's even remotely accurate.

> You really do have an ego don't you?

Of course. And I can see how someone as pathetic as you are might find that
a little intimidating.

> I guess you feel by bragging about how generous you have been makes you a
real humanitarian
> doesn't it?

The fact that I work very hard to improve the world for the humans that live
in it makes me a humanitarian. You do understand what the "human" in
"humanitarian" means, don't you? The fact that I am trying to find a new
place for my cats to live makes me a decent pet owner. Only an idiot would
confuse the two.

> Face it, you are dumping two cats as if they were beer cans.

Beer cans are property, too.

> That doesn't make you a hero in my book.

You would be best served by disabusing yourself of any notion that I give a
shit about your opinion of me. There is a list, and you aren't on it.

> Also you are dead wrong about a cat's need to be outside. Cats live a much
fuller life indoors and a happier
> one as well.

Bullshit. Do you suppose God gave them those claws, fangs, and sharp
eyesight so they could sit indoors all day long? Do you suppose that in the
million or so years that they've been evolving those characteristics,
they've been pooping in plastic boxes and eating kibble?

Your treatment of your animals is cruel. You should be ashamed.

> You obviously don't know anything about cats.

I know that far too many of them are owned by lonely shut-ins that think
their cats should be shut-ins, too. Then they can pretend the cat is
happier, because they are happier now that they have a fuzzy little "baby."

Pathetic.

So, to sum up:

Go fuck yourself.

Sincerely,

Jerome O'Neil

I don't post to amuse myself. You are an insensitive disgusting jackass.
Cats are not property. They are lives. You are an ass clown. I know a hell
of a lot more about cats then you and I'd put my education on the subject of
cats against yours any day of the week. You have no education on the
subject. Anyway, I rescue cats because I care very much about them. They are
beautiful, intelligent and wonderful creatures. They deserve loving homes
which obviously you prefer not to provide. It is sad to think you are going
to teach your values of cats being property to your kids. It is absolutely
disgusting. Yes, my rescuing cats and educating people about them is a
humane thing to do. Perhaps you should look up the word since you obviously
are not humane and care very little about life.

You absolutely sicken me as a human being. You have no compassion, no brains
and obviously no feelings. You also have no education if you believe cats
can do just fine outdoors. Try telling that to the rescue shelters who have
rescued cats after they were hit by cars or came across a person who decided
it would be a kick to abuse them. It's hard to believe there are people like
you in the world who think it is great to do evil and then justify it as no
big deal. It makes me appreciate those who rescue felines and generally do
care about their well being and are willing to work hard to give them a
better life. I pitty you though. Just remember that what goes around comes
around. Those who do malicious acts will be living a long time with that
karma. I feel very sorry for you.

An older child may be able to communicate more about their allergic
condition. It sounds to me (I may be reading it wrong) that the child is an
infant. An infant can't communicate anything about its condition, which
means that if the child has a more serious reaction than usual, they can't
communicate it to the parents. I would rather the cats find a good home
elsewhere than the child suffer allergic reactions, minor or severe, and
then have the cats actually be "dumped" with no prior planning. The parents
are just being proactive and taking precautions that will benefit the child
and the cats. He isn't dumping the cats off on the side of the road, or
giving them to the first person he sees outside Walmart, he's trying to find
a good home for them. Give him a break :)

I make no excuses for what I said. I have seen too many times where people
dump cats or rehome them due to weak excuses. This person should not be seen
as some kind of hero. He is dumping them on someone else so that he can feel
more righteous. He should not have adopted them if he was not willing to
take care them for the rest of their lives. I suggest you take a look at all
the cats who end up in shelters due to lack of compassion.

Also, he is not dumping the cats off at a shelter. He is trying to find them

You saw his posts. He treats cats as if they were items and not lives. You
say he is acting responsibly when in fact he is only sugar coating the
issue. Plain and simple he is dumping those cats. From his posts I can say
they deserve a loving home since obviously he has no love in his heart for
them. If you ask me this man is cruel and doesn't deserve the right to have
any animal in his home. What is worse is this guy is more than likely to
teach his kids that it is ok to dump an animal.

Actually there is no difference to this scenario. I think you want to share
in this guy's sugar coating of the deal. Both dump the problem on someone
else so that they don't have to deal with it. Rescuing a cat for their
safety and well being is another matter. Amazing how you are trying make
this guy some kind of hero by saying it is ok to dump these cats and that
human baby's life is worth more than the cats.

As for your comment about my being a doctor in another post, the medical
community has clearly stated in recent articles that children exposed to
cats at an early age can overcome the allergin. I have been seeing it
reported on both the TV news and the newspapers here. Also I know plenty of
people who have allergies but also have cats. My brother is allergic but he
and his wife have 6 cats. They would never dream of dumping or getting rid
of the cats.

It disgusts and angers me to know that some humans treat their cats like
property and not a living breathing creature. These type of people make me
appreciate all the work that a lot of the no-kill shelters do in rescuing
cats.

this may be news to you but this newsgroup is called rec.pets.cats.rescue (even
though it's being cross posted to rec.pets.cats). it's basically set up to
talk about the rescue of cats. obviously getting rid of cats is a last resort.

and everyone knows that cats are lives and not items. while it may sound harsh
and unfortunate, most people will agree that human life is more precious than
the life of a cat.

so if this guy needs to choose b/w the health of his child and the joy that
comes with taking care of a cat, he picks the health of his child.

as far as cats not being meant to live outdoors? that's just plain stupid.
cats, dogs, and all animals are meant to live outdoors. it's man that
domesticated some of them and the animals seem to enjoy it indoors as well, but
their natural instinct is to live outside. go to any zoo and you'll see that
those animals would be much happier running around free in the wild.

I have read that as well. The problem is that he has alergies, so it's too
late to develop resistance to them.

Also, they aren't kittens, they are four years old.

It's also pretty amusing.

Cats are property. So are cows, chickens, horses, and any other livestock
that I care to go buy and sell on a free market. That's what you do with
property. I can give them away, I can keep them, I can grind them up for
chowder. They belong to me. That makes them property. Q.E.D.

Yeah yeah. You keep saying this, but it never seems to happen. Yesterday

Gather 'round, kids, Dad has a lesson or two...

Lesson one: In a choice between the cat and the person, the person always
wins. No exceptions.

Lesson two: If some subhuman freak ever tries to equate your children with
animals, you are free to tell said freak to go fuck himself, and refer him
to lesson one.

There will be a test.

Dude, you are the *last* person that should be "educating" people about
cats. Your cruel abuse of your animals is well documented.

Try telling that to Darwin, who tells us that certain charateristics are
selected for in all animals. Predetory animals, like, say, cats, will need
to be outside where they can excercise bolth their bodies and their
predatory insticts. To deny them this is against their nature, and is
therefore cruel. And unhealthy, despite what legions of pasty shut-ins
claim.

If ther rescue shelters are staffed with people as smart as you are, I feel
sorry for the cats.

I am amazed that there are people in the world who are perfectly happy to

I'd wager that Krishna cares more for my kids than he does your cats.

chosen to drag him down low with the animals

Karma indeed.

So, as always; Go fuck yourself.

Sweet. I think I'll go buy me some property in South Africa. A nice
little human child. See, there it is common to buy humans as property.
Once I buy me a nice child, I can do whatever I want. I can make them
eat what I want, do what I want them to do, or kill them, beat them, and
hurt them as I see fit. They are, after all, my property. So I guess that
makes it right, doesn't it? Cool! Nice to know I can purchase a life as

I've followed this thread with an open mind and at least an attempt to
understand your viewpoint here. But I must say your obvious deep running
emotions for cats are clearly countering your ability for logic.

There was no reason to attack this guy whatsoever. I agree with everyone
else that your viewpoints are quite extreme and I too question whether you
value cat life over human life. You seem to avoid answering that.

Why would you lash out at everyone who disagrees with you? His children are
more important than the cats and I thought it was a good thing for him to
want to find them a home. Your opinions, however, disturb me quite a bit as
you seemed to see his very innocuous annouuncement as some sort of assault
on you personally and your ideology about cats.

No offense, but rescuing cats is the focal point of your life and perhaps
you should find other, people related, interests as this one is clearly
having a negative effect on you as a person. This is not healthy. As a
therapist, I might suggest you talk to someone.

Not really. I am just sick and tired of people treating cats as if they were
beer cans. You can question all you want about my valuing cats over humans.
I love cats and I think my answers speak for themselves. You are damned
right that I find this person distasteful for wanting to dump these cats
whether it be it another home or at a shelter. Instead of finding me
disturbing why don't you find the original poster disturbing for treating
these cats as if they were mere items rather than a living breathing
creature? Funny how you think I should seek therapy and go in for human
causes when I show my love of cats. Perhaps you need to talk to a therapist
as you seem to support this person by saying that is ok to dump a cat and
not take the responsibility in caring for them throughout their lifetime.
Obviously by your answer you have never been involved in rescue. Look how
many volunteers end up taking in cats that people didn't want. I myself just
recently rescued a cat that someone decided they didn't want. The human
moved away and dumped the cat to fend for himself. Worse yet, the cat was
declawed and was outside. Or how about a recent case in Arizona where
someone adopted a cat from a no-kill shelter for their wife, the wife
claimed health problems and thus instead of taking the cat back to the
shelter she was adopted from, the person took the cat to the Humane Society
and it was euthanized when the cat could have been saved. Want me to go on
or do you get my point now?

Plain and simple from the disturbing responses from the original poster, I
hope that these cats get good and loving homes because this guy plain and
simple is not responsible enoigh to be caring for any animal. Worse yet he
is going to teach his kids his values by saying it is ok to dump an animal
no matter the reason. If you aren't willing to care for the animal for the
rest of their life then you shouldn't adopt them. I don't know how clear and
simple you want me to state this.

You are not listening to people who clearly care about you. This defensive
response is your mantra "Obviously by your answer you have never been

cats. Please try to listen to my advice. I really am interested in helping
you and you are not listening to anybody. You only hear what you want to
hear and you have not answered the conjecture that you value cats more than
humans.

I ran across you by mistake, but it could be a good thing for you that I

He Isn't just "dumping" the cats. He's trying to find good homes for
them. I don't happen to agree with him that cats are not part of the
family or that they're property; but he's being alot more responsible
than most by a long shot. What would you do? Put the child in an

Cat Protector is someone who values cats. I have been monitoring this thread
for some time and I believe I know Cat Protector. This other person is
obviously not a cat lover judging by his posts. If you don't think cats are
of value then you should not be in this newsgroup. If faced with saving a
baby from certain death and saving a kitten or cat from certain death I
would choose the human baby but that doesn't mean I would not regret being
able to save the cat. I would be sorrowful about not being able to save the
cat.
You are not a cat lover if you believe that cats can be discarded with ease.
Judging by your response you believe they are inconsequential.

Yes he is just dumping the cats. He is using the child as an excuse to do
so. I am well aware of what asthma is all about but it has nothing do with
cats or even caused by them. I have seen the new baby excuse, allergy, etc
as an excuse to dump the cats way too many times. I am frankly tired of
people's irresponsibility. He should not have adopted those cats if he was
not willing to take care of them full time. Having an animal is a lifetime
responsibility not a part time one.

I myself rescued at least two cats that someone didn't want. One was left
behind in an abandoned apartment because the person got evicted and they
never came back for her. I ended up adopting the cat. The other one was
abandoned because the people moved and left the cat behind. Worse yet the
cat was declawed and outdoors. I got him to Sun Valley who is now caring for
him and hopefully can find him a good home. Sun Valley is no-kill.

A reasonable disenting opinion, prooving once again that not all cat people
are raving lunatics.

> What would you do? Put the child in an orphanage?? Sheesh!

She'd let him wheeze and cough and let his nose run and his eyes itch and
let his sleep be constantly inturupted because he is unable to breath. In
her delusion, she'd ensure us that she's some big humanitarian because her
kitties are comfy. But the kitties are just as miserable because they're
locked in an appartment, with no chance of ever climbing a tree, stalking a
mouse, or any other thing that cats like to do.

She is a cruel, sick person.

Anyway, I appreciate your opinion on the status of cats, even if we don't
agree.

Listen,

I'm not the one complaining about having too many cats. I most certainly do
not have a dozen cats.

You really should look at how you are handling this, your manner is very
aggressive and not very productive if you are truly sincere about finding a
home for your cats. Take your hostility and try to take that energy and use
it for something positive instead of ranting false accusations.

What sort of things have you tried to find new homes for these cats, aside
from starting a flame war on the newsgroup and posting a message that they
need a new home.

Apparently illiteracy runs with the same gene that causes cat lunacy.

Bullshit. I posted a perfectly reasonable request for interested parties
that might be interested in the cats. The raving lunatics, of which you are
one, promptly jumped out from their padded cells and started a rukus. I've
been posting to usenet for a lot of years, and find the odd flame fest
fairly entertaining. But it's not my manner thats aggressive, it's your

I am sorry you are offended. It may not be totally legal, but it sure is
common if it is illegal.

No. Do you?
Do you think it's okay for someone to abuse an animal because it's
property?

Which is the logical conclusion some people come to when presented with
compassion for life. I suppose all vegans are freaks and shut-ins, then?
If you believe that, you really don't get out much.
Animals aren't people. But they don't deserve to be abused because they
are "property" either.

I'd hate to be your child if you believe killing them and beating them is

You know, that's what really gets me. It's not that I value cats more

Do you often go around telling other people what's healthy when you don't
really know anything about them? How would you possibly know what anyone
on this NG is like in person - if they are happy or not, well-adjusted or
not, or have relationships with people or not? Just because someone is
passionate about a cause that isn't people-focused doesn't make them in
need of therapy. Dian Fossey needed therapy, eh? I'm sure she'd be happy
to know your opinion of her. (If you don't recall the name, she did a lot
of work saving the gorillas)

Of course, as a therapist, that is what you would suggest. Personally I find
getting out making the world a better place by helping animals is a better
use of my time than sitting around getting 'therapy'.

I am very familiar with Dian. In fact, I know that she would have protected
a human child over a gorilla if the choice was forced upon her. Your own
species is and should be first and foremost. If any of the cats that you
rescued had kittens who were threatened (even in a seemingly innocuous
"allergic"way) by a human they would certainly do whatever was necessary to
protect those offspring. It is the nature of all animals, including humans.
I'm surprised and disheartened that others here actually support the

I'm afraid our society allows too many people to become delusional about the

You mean to tell me you are disheartened because there are actually cat
lovers on this group who would support the non dumping of animals. BTW, from
what I know about Dian Foossey she definitely would have saved a gorilla
over a human. The gorillas in fact were heavily killed by humans and she
protected them against poachers. Are you trying to say human life is more
important than any other life. You keep signing your name as being a doctor
but you have obviously no clue about compassion. Cats are lives and not beer
cans or disposable items. It is really disgusting that you would promote the
dimping of animals and see those trying to rescue or save them as being ill.
I guess if compassion is wrong I don't want to be right.

Thank you for the education. I didn't realize South Africa was so
different from the rest of the country. I didn't find nearly as many
articles on South Africa as West Africa. I guess I should have used that
in my example. I am always desiring to learn, so I do honestly thank you
for the incentive to research this topic.

However, I did find these references to modern day slavery in South
Africa, if you are interested.

Number one - that's not what I said.
Please re-read the post. I said people don't need therapy because they
have a focus that is not people-oriented. I also said that human life
does come above animals, however, that was in another post, so you
probably missed it.

Number two - who are you to decide who "needs help"? Arrogant much?

Smells like bullshit. Yep. It's bullshit.

Let me quote the website you present:

"Although there is no longer any state which recognizes any claim by a
person to a right of property over another, there are an estimated 2.7
million people throughout the world - mainly children - in conditions of
slavery. "

Next time, you might try reading the website, instead of the headlines that
come up on Google.

So get back in your hole, and shut up.

For all practical purposes, yes. As parents, we weild an unusual amount of
influence over the behavior and actions of our children. This is recognized
in law, as it should be.

Nope. Prejudiced against people that drag humanity down to the level of

Certainly. I took concious effort to not respond to the poster that said if

I've heard this from several people (I'm assuming it's a canned response :).
My primary interest is in ensuring the cats land in a good home. If I can
do that at no charge, so much the better.

A director from a rescue shelter sent me a copy of the questionair they use
to place animals. It's pretty good, and I'll certainly use that as a guide
when interviewing prospective owners.

Country? Try continent. Africa is a HUGE continent on which can be
found many many different cultures, languages, and peoples. There is
very little that can be said universally of all countries in Africa.

You're welcome.

South Africa has come a very long way since they were able to shake off
apartheid and the dominance of whites, but there is still a ways to
come, apparently. In my office we've had people from South Africa of
every hue and many different languages. Universally they are
intelligent, lovely people who have a deep love of the great beauty and
potential of their home country.

I think we've gone w-a-a-a-a-a-y off topic now.

You are a sad example of my fellow humans. I'm done with you.
There is no point in trying to get you to see compassion, as you have
none to give. There is no point in trying to have a discussion with
someone who can only respond with jabs, invectives, and cursing (do you
kiss your kids with that mouth?) rather than facts. Someday you may grow
up into a man who can have a discussion about a particular topic, rather
than try to turn it around into something else because you have no
recourse in logic. You'll note, if you bother to re-read the thread, my
original problem was with animals treated as property and slaves. I never
once said animals were *better* than people.

Bye-bye. I hope your children get a better education in logic and
rationality (and manners) than you did.

They won't answer your question here because the reality isn't pc.
They would much rather rescue a cat than a human. I have been to
forums where the discussion is quite frank about his where people say
they would step over a human in a disaster to save an animal.

He already stated that his cats spend the day outside. How hard could
it be to let the cats sleep in an area of the house away from the child,
install multiple air purifiers, bathe the cats regularly? If his first
impluse was not to throw the cats out on their asses, he could even
build a separate structure in the yard to house the cats. I know many
people who have children with allergies (I have them myself) that have
worked out a way to keep animals and protect their children. Mr. O'Neil
is simply not interested in making the effort.

Clearly, the man has never bonded to his cats. If he had, he would not
consider removing the cats anymore than he would consider removing an
older sibling who displayed jealousy and disregard for the younger
child.

There are many allergy triggers. Chances are that the child will suffer
from allergies whether the cats are in the home or not. I must assume
that the original poster has already removed all carpets, rugs,
mattresses, synthetic materials of any kinds, varnished furniture and
flooring, wool garments and upholstery, books, newsprint, chemical
cleansers and disinfectants, enamel painted objects, plants and trees in
and around his home. I must assume that he plans to keep his child away
from cars and buses, from heated, cooled and forced air, rain, dew,
grass, soil, dust, school, playgrounds and other children. I must
assume he plans to relocate to a dry, warm climate and surround himself
with concrete. I'm certain that he has already moved away from cities
and towns to avoid particulate air pollution.

It's not the cats' fault that his kid has a weak immune system. He
would be doing the child a favor by helping him build up his tolerance
to allergens by gradually increasing his exposure to various triggers,
including the cats. Most children outgrow their allergies, but not if
they are kept in a sterile environment.

This was my first reaction, too. People without empathy foster
uncompassionate children. People who look for the easy way out foster
selfish, unimaginative children. Is this something our society needs
more of? IMO, the man shouldn't have cats OR children, but
unfortunately, it's too late.

I tend to suspect you are right. There are several identity disorders that
may result in this particular anomalous emotional imbalance. I plan to spend
some time here observing and diagnosing. In fact this newsgroup I think may
make for an interesting case study. I hope to write an article.

That is completely inaccurate. She has written and mentioned on several
occasions that she felt gorillas had a lot to teach humans about loyalty and
caring for others. She followed this philosophy very piously. Why would she
not follow her own example? YOU just want everyone to think like you. It's
projection.

The gorillas in fact were heavily killed by humans and she

Yes that's right but it doesn't mean she would let a human die over a
gorilla. You're just projecting.

Human life should be more important to a human. It is that way with EVERY
other species in nature. Your cats would kill you in a heartbeat if it meant
protecting their own kittens. Jerome was completely right to want to get rid
of his cats.

Here again you don't listen to a word that has been said and you repeat the
same mantra-esque lines over and over. Do you know that is exactly how
members of cults behave when they are confronted about their religion?

No one in this entire thread has stated that rescuing cats is wrong. Yet all
you do is act like EVERYONE is saying that to you. All any of the other
respondents have said is that valuing cats over people is wrong and you
attacking Jerome was inappropriate.

But I suppose my saying that makes me ignorant and incompassionate towards
cats, since that's all you seem to hear. Cat Protector, you are either the
most brilliant troll in history or in serious need of psychological
assistance. But I am no longer interested in helping you as you clearly will
not be helped.

Completely inaccurate in your eyes but certainly not mine and few other eyes
here apparently. BTW, I do believe that according to the movie done about
Fossey's life it was humans who killed her. So where is your hypothesis of
how wonderful humans are now? You claim to be a doctor and yet not only are
your facts wrong but you also lack a doctor's compassion. As for my being a
troll, how wrong you are. I have been a fixture on these cats groups for a
long time and am also involved involved in rescue. Am I passionate about
cats, you bet. I love cats so much I started a radio station for cats. On
the air and off the air I educate people about cats. So I practice what I
preach. You on the other hand come on here and not only give support to
people who dump cats but also seem to give them some kind of hero status.
Then you tell those who rescue felines that they need some kind of
psychiatric help. You have a lot of damned nerve. If rescuing cats and
loving them is wrong then I definately don't want to be right. As for you
helping me, that is a laugh. Your kind of help is something people don't
need. I'll stick with getting help from the cat loving community which is
something you definately are not a part of.

More refusal to listen. Jesus was killed by humans, so was Martin Luther
King. What doeas that have to do with anything? Point out what "facts" I
stated that were wrong. The only facts I stated were that you seem to value
the life of a cat more than a human. You attacked soemone who was trying to
find cats a good home (Not, "Dumping" them, as you insist on calling it.)

When did I give them a hero status? I just labeled them as having a normal,
"Human" reaction. And I've labelled you as in need of therapy for failing to
see that as normal. Do you have children?

Not "those". Just you.

Again, you are being bull headed and not listening to anything. Nobody, me
or anyone else, has said rescuing cats is wrong. In fact I just got done
saying it wasn't wrong. Are you reading my posts or just exercising a knee
jerk reaction? You're fabricating things that I have not said. How blind do
you have to be to realize this?

No "it" doesn't. You are absolutely right, Dr. Gould. I've been monitoring

day. "It" loves to avoid this question. I demand to hear an answer.

Cat Protector, you love to use the slogan on others that they are less noble

You would assume that, K00k. Especially considering that no one in this
thread was talking about dumping cats. The guy was talking about finding his
cats a new home because his baby was allergic to them. He was asking someone
who would care for them to give them a home.You somehow seem to find that to
be an inhumane crime. explain how that is again...

It's obvious that in this newsgroup we have cat lovers and people who think
cats are just like cattle. As cat lovers we will never get the "others" to
see our point of view so let's not waste threads trying. Cat Protector, you
have spoken eloquently in favor of us cat lovers but I will just "iggy"
those like Extra Crispy and Antique who are obviously of the "other"
variety. If you enjoy a good argument go ahead but I don't want to waste my

Unless of course, they act like my cats who watch whatever thing is
crawling around and bop it on head once and watch as it crawls away from
the huge flesh-thing that's bopping it on the head. Eat, crap, wedge
themselves in my bed. That's all the little fuckers are good for (the
cats, not the bugs).

I don't know any Bob Brenchly, but I do know that wild cats control
the rat population, and keeping cats locked up in your house is
animal abuse. Anyone that disagrees is a dog lover or a moron.

Thanks suzyq. I have to speak out here. I think the people dumping these
animals are disgusting. I think they should visit the shelters and see the
end results of their behavior. People who dump animals after adopting them,
no matter how much they sugar coat it should see exactly the kind of meaness
and evil they are causing. I feel bad for but applaud those no-kill shelters
who are rescuing cats in order to save them and hopefully give them a chance
at a long healthy life full of love and happiness. It's sad to know there
are people who toss cats away as if they were objects but it makes me
appreciate the other side that sees them as lives and gives something of
themselves to save them. For those that dump cats remember what goes around
comes around and one day it will be twice fold. You may find yourself in
need and then wonder why no help was given. Then you can look back and
finally realize that dumping that cat or treating them badly was the wrong
thing to do. Of course by that time you cat dumpers will be going through
pure hell. Who knows, someone may dump you. Dumping a cat is wrong and I
will keep working to help save felines when I can simply because I care.

You know I found this actually rather amusing that the title you came up
with is "Cat Protector is a human hating cook!" and then spill it across all
these newsgroups. I guess it is a real crime to be a cat lover amongst those
humans who care very little about their life. Call me a lover and protector
of cats as that is what I am.
