My post was polite and to the point, I did not yell at anyone.
Please do not imply I said more than I did, that is unfair and untrue :(
Okay, you just implied that she was a bad cat owner and shouldn't have pets. That's all. That's sooooooo much better!:rolleyes: :mad:
She came in looking for help in a tough decision. For you to imply that she was being irresponsible was WRONG! Save the moral judgments for OUTSIDE of an otherwise fun and educational pastime!
Please read what I ACTUALLY wrote.Quote:

You are determined to read more into my words then I meant, that is your problem not mine.

Surely you knew you would be going home one day, did you not think about this before you adopted your cat ?
Julie (Ally Cat's Mommy) only adopted her first/second cat after considering how to transport them 'Home' when they decide to move back.
If Boomer is your pet, he should be your pet for life. he should be taken with you wherever you go.
I really hope I am wrong but judging on the amount of 'I can't' in your posts suggests that you don't want to take him with you. :(
How could you even suggest not taking him with you? You knew you would leave, it was irresponsible to not consider this before letting him into your home. You're bound to this cat, and making him suffer under a plane for sixteen hours is your only viable option! Julie was responsible, she already figured out how to get them back to the states. You just don't want the responsibility...
Did I read correctly? I think I know how to do that...
Yes, that's is the right gist with one major correction. Your last line of your translation should read....Quote:

'I hope I have misread your post which implies you don't want the responsibility'
See, you can read and understand my posts :D
Although your translation is on the harsh side. My post was entirely lighter in tone and attitude than your translation.
Your translation accuses, where as my post is an genuine enquiry.
yes i know what you mean, plus (i don't know how it was for you guys) but we never knew exactly how long we were staying, they said it could be anywhere from 1-10 years (in hungary)i had to leave my guinea pigs there, bu twe took our rabbit back(cadbury) adn he HATEd his cage at first, but we did what jenluckenbach said and got him used to it. and even though he was alittle scared after the flight he was fine. we put food and water in his cage though. i think you have to send food with your animals. :)Quote:

First off, we got a total of about 48 hours to decide if we were going to adopt Boomer from his previous family. That's not much time to think through all the details- our main concern was finding Boomer a loving home so that he would not be given back to the shelter here. Secondly, if you're not involved in the US military, it's hard to understand how things work. It's a completely different lifestyle than anyone outside of it can ever know. I happen to love it, they take excellent care of their airmen and the families of the airmen. But with all the good comes the understanding that we have to abide by all of the regulations.
She wasn't yelling at you. like she said her post was polite and to the point. please stop arguing:)Quote:

if you love him put him on a plane for 16 hours, its better than him NEVER seeing you again.
