    I have read that there are Coffee Shops in Japan where they show off Pure Bred Exotiic Cats like Savannahs and Toygers in glass pens. The Cats can come and go as they please and people can marvel at thier beauty.
    That sounds a lot better than a zoo, as the customers can spoil the Cats with shrimps and other treats!
    Wouldnt I love to bring over AWA Mice!!!

    I don't want to imagine the type of home she came from, and I also feel sorry for her but at the same time horrified. In your place I'd hope to remember to tell her about the old "Twilight" television series episode where a human ends up in a zoo cage on an alien world. That episode still gives me the shivers.

    I do get that question quite often when I stock up at Petsmart. My response is always "I bulk buy because I hate shopping" - which is very true, but I'm also buying for 15 cats (includes 7 fosters), something I'm not going to mention. When I shop at Mud Bay Granary for the good cat supplies, they are happy to talk to me about all my cats and gather around for an update on sick fosters.

    Young and stupid, obviously. I can just picture her chomping on a wad of gum while she's spewing these idiotic statements. I'll say no more.......

    There's a saying in spanish that goes something like: "the noisiest people are the emptiest" (la gente más ruidosa es la más vacía)
    Clearly that woman doesn't know what ANY love is; someone who loves and respects his/herself, loves and respect others and she was direspectful to you.. God bless her

    A big hug to you Mary, forgive that poor woman.
    Lots kisses to your cats

    Not sure whether to shake my head or laugh. DEAR GOOD LORD, where do you find these poor souls to put in our lives? Sometimes they are so far out it is too much to even BEGIN on educating them.

    I never know what to say when folks ask me why I have so many (because I don't like cats? Because I can't stand fluffy white small dogs?).

    Don't worry, Mary, you are among fellow pet nuts here on PT.

    It doesn't sound like that cashier had all of her brain cells. I wonder what she'd say if the Octomom came through her line?

    Its a sad lack of manners all right!
    I was told by my Dear Mother to be polite at all times, to never say something that might upset someone!

    I can't blieve she said that. How sad! 6 cats isn't a lot. We have 5 cats right now. 2 of them are kittens and the other 3 are adults.
