    Still a Bad Influence

    I posted this under another thread, but am sharing it here in the "Cat General" section:

    One kind Pet Talker member recently accused me of giving animal rights people a bad name. Well, it looks like I've continued my very bad ways. I am constantly preaching the virtues of animal adoption to people I meet and with whom I work. "Adopt from the shelter," I say. "Phooey on designer dogs and cats!"

    On yesterday, one of the developers with whom I work informed me that he and his wife decided to follow my advice and adopt an animal from the Memphis animal shelter. They got a cat. It just so happens that while they were filling out the papers, the shelter manager found out that the cat had been scheduled for euthanization several weeks ago. The paperwork had evidently been misplaced and was only found when my coworker and his wife went to collect the cat.

    Hm...

    They named her Zanne:

    Aaawww what a beauty. I suppose some higher powers mixed the papers up because they knew that the new purrents were waiting for Zanne.

    What a gorgeous girl she is, and look at those paws! She seems to fit right in there. It must be wonderful for her to have some space now. How lucky she was to be saved. I like the name Zanne. Do you know her age?

    Great story, thanks

    There are just sooooo many unwanted pets here in the USA. I am so amazed when I hang out on PetFinder to see the thousands of pets/animals. What is wrong with this society? People here can't even manage to "return the shopping cart" to the place of origin, let alone take care of a pet properly. I think I am going to move to some other continent. And if the Republicans win in November, I am moving. (I sound a tad wigged out, eh?)

    I love the stories you share with us, Mr. Willow Oak, so please do continue doing so. I know we give you grief from time to time, but ignore it. Your stories usually make us all feel warm and fuzzy. Isn't that what life is all about? Feeling good?!! Y E S !!!

    She is stunning! I love the lion cut on her tail! She looks like she is the Queen of the household already! Please, Mr. Willow Oak, keep up the good work and ignore the nasty comments of some uninformed folks!
