    The cats aren't the problem its the people taking advantage of your good heart, I think maybe not adding to your population would be better advice.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    I, too, think just not adding would be appropriate

    Donna, you need to practice the words "I really cannot take in any more cats for the time being"..... "as I am at my limit"..... I know that there are millions of cats out there needing homes. Everyone knows their limit. You can see how different folks here, have numbers all over the place, from zero to ????? many, many. I know my limit. And I'm sticking to it.

    I would like to ring the necks of all those folks who do not responsibly take care to spay and neuter their pets. Really. If these idiots would just wise up.....we wouldn't have this problem.

    Take care of Donna first, then the fur kids.

    Love,
    SAS

    I've decided that no one is going anywhere (Thanks Taz Zoe). I've had every single one of my furbabies since they were kittens. They're bonded to each other. It broke my heart when I rehomed Carly the Curly Girl while in Michigan.

    The problem IS baby. I didn't have this kind of stress or peeing problem till this opportunistic 6itch took advantage of me. She KNEW damn well she wasn't going to him back. I have no idea where she is. She will NOT return my calls.

    I got in touch with the Westport Humane Society and they will probably have a spot for him by the end of this week or next.

    I feel like I've aged 10 years in the last 2 months. *sigh*

    Sallyanne,

    I have a new sign on my fridge. It's a cat with a circle and line through it. It says it all!!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    Whew! I didn't think you'd let any of them go. You scared me for a second.

    Well, I hope you can get the Baby/Buddy thing worked out and things can settle down and be back to normal for you.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Donna, I know when I'm stressed out and worried (more often than not), I take people's opinions more sensitively. I agree though, how could you possibly chose who stays, who goes. Obviously, Dr Bob doesn't have pets.

    Just stick to your decision not to open your home right now.
    Believe me, I want another dog so badly. But with my finances and health, it wouldn't be fair to anyone. I'm lucky Mz Logan is relatively healthy. It is what it is. It's all good.

    Chin up girlfriend. I think I see a rainbow shaping up.




    I've been Boooo'd!

    There is the great slogan from the Harley Davidson t-shirts - it's about why people ride a HD......If I have to explain it to you, you would not understand.

    There are people, as well meaning as they are, that will tell you to so something that they see has an easy solution to a problem.

    You put aside your own comfort for your pets.

    He might not understand..

    My jerkwad ex-friend was the same way when I told him I took a cat in.
    He didn't understand so I didn't bother.

    Next time stock up on mac and cheese, Ramen and some crackers.

    The most nourishment come from animals- pets feed the soul.
