    I'm feeling really blond at the moment but I don't understand what this means. Free but not free? 'Splain, Lucy.

    I hope that the kitties get good permanent homes. Take it from someone who moved w/a bunch of cats, it ain't easy. It's pretty stressful on them and, if you take in a newbie, you could open up a whole new can of worms. I'll bet these kittens will be placed quickly.

    SukiWingy,

    I have a cat that is a product of cross breeding. He's a cross of Sphynx/Cornish Rex. I couldn't figure out where his patches of wavy fur were coming from He's very UNIQUE looking to say the least. But, the sweetest cat and a real talker.

    Usually, in written English, when something is in quotes, it means it is not really "whatever" but is claiming to be.

    Haha well at least I would assume they imply that no animal is truly free?

    Still sucks that there are irresponsible owners out there, and I will admit it makes me SICK to see people in Walmart's parkinglot giving away "free puppies" or, worse yet, people trying to SELL "purebred" dogs at Walmart (yup, seen it happen...) but we can't let it get to us and just bottom line -- think of the animals. Whether it be to educate the ignorant human or do whatever it takes to help the animal, we always have to think of them first, hard as it is sometimes cause you just wanna grab the human and beat some sense into them...

    Huh! Never heard of such a thing! That's just crazy! Honestly, the lengths that people will go to.

    They're not free - because there is a cost to bringing unwanted kittens into the world, and for spaying/neutering (for kittens and parents) and shots, etc.
