A lot of unwanted cats and dogs get dumped in the country, get hit by cars, killed by a coyote or a pack of dogs or shot by hunters who consider them "good target practice". Sometimes they are poisoned as vermin. My 7 were headed for that fate, but someone found them and I ended up with them. They are not fancy breeds, just cats, but the love and companonship they give makes the most valuable cats in the world. Somehow, I don't get the feeling Charles has that same love for his Buddy and the poor unloved FELV female that he is so "pissed off" because he was ripped off. Yes, I wold be upset at loosing the $300, but I would be even more angry and conserned about the little female and making up to her for the treatment she received before. Guess that is why I will never be rich, I care moe about the life than the $$$$$$$. ---- GRAS <[email protected]> wrote: > To everyone, including Charles, who still seems to be reading the mail: > > This is my final comment on this topic, and if it offends some, ask me to > leave the group. > > I'm sorry, whether the first note from Charles was someone's idea of a joke, > as suggested, or not, his second note certainly sounds like one too - it's a > complete turnaround, a little hard to believe.
