If this doesn't break your heart, I'd have to wonder if you have one.
It's my understanding that the cat is now safe but I have no details. If/when I get any more, I'll post for sure.

not sure what bedraggled means.. but I´ve sure taken him home.. such a sweet widdle baby asking for love.. :(
OMG!! How could a kitty end up in that condition- very, very sad! :( :( If this kitty survived, I hope he/she will be the most spoiled cat in the world for the rest of his/her life!
Just learned that the kitty is in Russia. No more details other than that, though. I'd have adopted him/her in a heart beat, regardless of my policy of no more cats.
:love: Awee poor wittle one.. Oh I would have sure put this wittle one in my home forsure.. I do hope the baby is getting help now.. Huggss & Prayers Wittle One..
I don't understand the reason for posting this, other than shock value.:(
Posting a picture & not say where you found it, or any other explanations
is just spreading the misery around.:(:(
I could post 100 sad, pitiful animal pictures, but why if they serve no purpose? Please don't do this.
LIZ. It wasn't to spread misery; I leave that to you. I said that the kitty is safe and it's in Russia. Take your foul mood elsewhere, would ya? I don't understand a lot of what you and others post but I try to keep mean spirited comments to a minimum. Why don't you give it a try!Quote:

Oh poor sweet little angle, I just want to cry....
Please do keep us updated.
My husband said if I adopted one more cat he would leave me.
I would take the chance with this angel and if he left I would not want to be married to him anyway.
He would miss my cooking.
My baking.
My laughter
Clean underwear
And please send updated pictures weather the news is good or bad, I want to know.

To just post a pitiful ,sad picture & say, I'll get back to you on the details
sounds strange. IMO.
I do not have to ask your permission or for your opinion to post something. You certainly don't take the feelings of others into consideration when you post. If it bother you that much, put me on Ignore. You'd be doing us both a favor.Quote:

I as well as Mary very rare voice my options on here; But felt that your disgust to Mary was uncalled for.. Huggss for Mary..

Ok! guys! I think its enough, sheesh soooooo many fights here! I think Mary had a reason to make this thread, even if she didn't let her do it Lizbud, its not necessary to see and read every thread.
You really don't need to say anything. Its her choice and if you don't want to go with it its your choice nobody will force you. Just don't read Mary's threads if you don't like them.

There was no point in posting this thread. None. My post was nothing more than my opinion. There was nothing mean or harsh in it. Please- READ. You posted your opinion...as you do often enough. Not sure where you get your 'rare options' comment...
Yes there was.Quote:

So go take a hike and cause your trouble elsewhere.
Ok, guys, listen up! I have had it with fights! There are so many fights on pettalk. Listen, those who agree that Mary had no reason for posting this thread, leave this thread like I leave some when I don't agree, I have seen many threads, old ones and new ones, some which I don't agree with, I leave, no reason to post something.
Those who agree that Mary has a point, stay on this thread and continue your talk about the picture. Mourn, do whatever you want.. ok! now please stop the fight, I am feeling really sick about the fights, there were quite a few in my class today. Thank You! for reading and I hope you don't post anything those who disagree with Mary's thread. Thanks!
Well said Sana....you are perfectly right.Quote:

I've got better things to do than argue with idiots. Same thing as renting space in my head to my ex-husband and that just isn't going to happen.
Mary,
Thank you for posting that picture and updating us as information is made available. That poor kitty is in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep the members who are truly concerned about this kitty, posted on his progress.
I agree- well said.Quote:

I am sorry certain members tried to cause trouble. From the posts of yours I have seen in the past, I know you are a lovely caring person and post everything with the best intentions, so just ignore those who are saying otherwise on this thread. ((Hugs))
OHHHH...you mean like the page after page of fights between you and Blue? OHH.. I so totally get it now. Totally.Quote:

Face it- we ALL have different opinions on what is appropriate. And, until Karen tells me I can't post- I will continue to post.
There was NOTHING about my initial post that was rude, out of line, etc. Nothing. In fact, the OP was the one that had a quite vicious attack against a long standing member of PT.
And, don't forget- the OP posted this thread in the DH, not in general, not in Cat, the DH. That, to me, makes it fair game for comments.
If you don't like my comments, don't read them. Place me on ignore- as if I care. If you cannot see the lunacy behind telling someone that is critical of a post or thread, that you are critical of their post or thread, there is no hope for you at all.
Hey, play nice, people!
As for the original post, it is a heartwrenching photo, but then heartwarming to know it is already adopted.
And just because it is in Russia, doesn't mean it won't be a loved kitty, we have had Cats of the day from Russia that looked just as loved and spoiled as any cat anywhere.
All this arguing over a poor sweet innocent pathetic homeless kitten. Where are your :love:'s? I am glad he/she has found a good home & keep us updated. Now I'll get lost too. :D
Mary ~ Thank you for posting this. I'm so glad to hear that the kitty had a good outcome.
lizbud ~ I invite you to follow your own (so kind) suggestion to me when I expressed concern about some of the threads I viewed:

I agree totally with you on this one.Quote:

:) Thank You Bonny.. So Aggree.. Now Come Back Bonny & dont be lost..:D

I'd say moosmom, Asiel and me, I really hate all these fights, been in one and God! it was stupid! No reason to fight. Fights are a piece of junk and a waste of our precious and limited time! I say, no to fights, at least we have a trio.Quote:
