What was she after - a live birth performance for her children? cute kittens? Yes, she should rent a video for the first reason. As for the second, cats are kittens for about 6 months. Will she dump them off on a shelter when they lose their kittenish ways and need to be neutered/spayed? Someone like that, if there is any hope of re-education at all, needs to work in a high-kill shelter.

I smiled when I saw you mention a PetsMart adoption center since I adopted NewCat from one last year only because I couldn't bear to see her go to a woman I considered inappropiate. I was chatting to the volunteer for Purrfect Pals at the adoption center and not in any way considering adoption since I had nine cats with two in home intensive care. I did, however, ask her to let NewCat out since I have a real fondness for Siamese cats. A woman about my age came in, grabbed NewCat (I think her shelter name was Sunny) and talked about how she used to breed Siamese. She was sure her daugher in law would love to adopt this cat. All the time she talked, she held this poor cat to her shoulder against her will - I could see her eyes bulging with the effort to get away. Without thinking first, I simply turned to the volunteer and said "We'd better get on with those adoption papers now." She gave me the biggest smile. I'm so glad I adopted NewCat, even though I did have to cope with Ted's spraying for several months after.
