A different point of view
There is an old expression that there are two sides to every story.
A couple weeks ago, I drove about an hour and a half to interview a cat. The interview (and my dinner conversation with Liz and Louie) were not as ideal as I'd wished. I've since emailed Liz a couple of times, but not heard back. I used postal mail to write two identical letters (Liz and Louie) to ask where they wanted to go with this matter. I've not heard back from either of them. Just for curiosity, I signed onto the RPCA message board, and see if Liz has been posting. Yes, and only slightly to my surprise she's mentioned me several times. What did come as a surprise is that much of what she's written has been remarkably different than what I remember of the cat interview, and of my friendship with her and Louie. Seeing as how she's written extensively and publically, I'm going to take a couple moments (over a period of a couple days) and share with the group what I remember of the matters. -- Christopher A.

It really doesn't matter. It is your posts that made it clear that a cat is not the pet for you. Some people aren't cat people. That's really all that matters. There are other pets that fit what you want in a pet. |

Thats fine, and I'll be happy to read it. All I ask of you (and Liz and Louie if he posts here) is not to use RPCA as your personal debating arena. RPCA is big enough to hold different viewpoints, and indeed, maintain friendships wtih people who have different opinions on things. Please let it stay that way. Yowie |

This isn't the place to be debating against each other. I'm happy to see all of them post. What they did or did not discuss over dinner really doesn't involve us (nor should it). Jill |

I'm OK with that. My goal at present is twofold:
1) present the other side of the story 2) Work out the misunderstandings I've offered to phone, mail, email, etc. So if they are agreeable, we should go to private email promptly. -- Christopher A.

It has been noted; and earlier, I did post something to the effect of how
much of a jackass I've been. A separate message of greater detail has been sent to Chris, and again an apology to him and everyone else. i didn't do right.

OK, I want to know who they swapped you with, how they did it, and if there was any improvement in the service department.
