you do realize that all "those" people consider us to be the "kooks" don't you. people aound here have a new name for me, "crazy cat lady" since i told a hunter (who joked about coming up to my house to do some target shooting) that i would meet him at my property line with a load of buckshot. my mouth does get me into trouble someties, but i consider my cats or any cat to deserve a chance at a happy, healthy life and not to hve to worry about being shot at or deliberatly run over bcause they were in the way. dorlis ---- LauraM <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to vent, too!
