mrspunkysmom - we had a heat wave(+30C, over 80F), and although there is an air exchange system in the building, with an a/e vent in each cat room, there is no air conditioning.

I was going to be working upstairs, and it would be warm...so I opened the window to several inches. to get a better breeze coming in (nice and cool and fragrant over the lilac bushes outside).

We'd had the window open the day before...but it is not to be opened more than an inch. I ought to have been more careful...after all, a new cat had just bounded up to the window before, and I closed it! And with no screens - you think I would have twigged to not open it more than the required inch.

But anyway...if the kitten had not come back, it would have been a huge blow to the business...the customers are NEW, from overseas, as are the two kittens. Regular customers might have forgiven us - these people might have sued, and the kennel is up for sale. The kennel has been operating for some 6 years, and this has not happened before.

They just can't take a chance - and if I went back, none of us would be at ease like we were before. A second chance would be hard on me...because it would be exactly that!

Anyway, I understand it, and am okay with it, though I have been upset.

Thanks...

hugs
