I think the best one I've ever heard is from a friend Pat who used to run a shelter. One day a snotty looking woman walks in and declares "I'm remodeling the house, and the cat doesn't match"! Then the piece of work spots a kitten and asks about adopting the kitten!!! She was shown the door quite abruptly! I don't give out my phone number for the reason that it's handed down the line, and I get calls from idiots wanting to get 'rid of the cat'! I almost always will take the cat/cats as I know all too well what the alternative will be if I don't. I'd rather get the cat prior to it being pregnant/injured/emaciated etc. And usually these are the ones who won't hesitate to dump Fluffy on the streets. Can we abolish the term "GET RID OF" please?? I correct people all the time...you get rid of trash, not living beings. *sigh*
