By this post I have to wonder if you are going to track the person down,
beat the crap out of them and then take the cats to a shelter that may be no-kill only to have them put down. I think you really need to get a grip here because you obviously have an issue with anger and control. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com wrote in message t... Next time I want advice, I will find people with a few more smarts and socialization skills then I see here -- because, well you know -- I don't know how be tactful about this, but everyone who is aware of the situation in the neighborhood thinks something is wrong, -- as in there is more going on here then is apparent. e.g., the motivations of the persons who took them might not be as noble as you people are assuming. (I just didn't go into that part in the initial post). |

It seems you have a problem with control and doing what is in the best interest of the cats. Why not just be happy and hope the person who took the cats has given them a better life. You also might want to consider the fact the person who took them is involved with animal rescue and discovered the cats when you weren't around or they also were picked up by someone who though they were strays (which they were by your description of the situation) and brought them to a shelter. Get over your control issue and let it go. Well I think your an idiot making one assumption after another. -- They had a fairly warm place at night, a dry atrium during the day, food and someone who was working with them so they became accustomed to human touch. This was not animal rescue at work. I was in contact with them and working with them. This was someone who knew they were pretty cats and decided to take them rather then ask about keeping them. |

You might also consider that maybe it was the cat's original human who found them and took them home. It wasn't the original owner. That's who I wanted to find. It was someone who decided she liked the look of orange tabby an kitten. People who didn't ask for them, and who have themselves and two other cats in a cold bedroom sized place in a cold Newengland winter, a rusted out car that can't pass inspection (e.g., not money there for proper care), and who may not keep them together -- probably pointed to the cats by a sister who somehow decided that she -- who hadn't done one thing for them,. and who was probably annoyed that they ran from her, but came to me when I showed up and followed me around -- had the right to take them. -- When in fact she ought to be working on the four kittens she has to get rid of. Now, start asking for facts instead of assuming. -- We had a momcat who once she was strong enough and not dehydrated and falling down, as she was the first time I saw her -- who was seen on at least three occasions a few blocks away and going further away. She never wandered anywhere else and there was a network of neighbors and kids who were watching them and for them. I had cats all my life, and I think the momcat was looking for someplace she once was -- because she had become strong enough to move around, and she was sure the kitten was protected. And she did take care of her kitten more then most momcats do. |

Anyone that snatches cats, won't say exactly where they are and refuses to allow an interested party to see the cats is behaving _very_ suspiciously. I'm beginning to think the cats are dead. Why are you criticizing the OP for caring about the welfare of these two cats? |

If they were, in fact, in a "good and loving home", why would she stonewall his request for information? My guess is the cats are dead and you're insane. It seems you have a problem with control and doing what is in the best interest of the cats. Why not just be happy and hope I hope you don't do a lot of feral adoptions because "be happy and hope" doesn't cut it. (snip) |

Anyone that snatches cats, won't say exactly where they are and refuses to allow an interested party to see the cats is behaving _very_ suspiciously. I'm beginning to think the cats are dead. Or, thinks that the cats and/or the person who actually has them are at risk from the person to whom he/she is refusing to give information. Huh? If the OP is as hostile in person as here, I would refuse to give out any information at all, not even the time of day. He's more calm than I would be in the same situation. Why are you criticizing the OP for caring about the welfare of these two cats? There is more evidence that the OP is a control freak than that he has any real feelings for the cats. I don't see it. Note that most of the people objecting to the OP mostly have years of experience rescuing cats ... and dealing with people on the fringes of the rescue efforts. I've been involved in feral cat rescue for over 17 years. This includes daily management of 100+ cats in outdoor colonies in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, trapping and altering more cats over the years than I can count, socializing and rehoming feral kittens, rehabilitating and rehoming strays, nursing sick kittens rejected by local shelters. Today, I'll be shlepping 8 socialized, former feral kittens to an adoption fair and I would not dream of letting a kitten go to any person who refused to tell me where (s)he lived or would refuse a request to visit the cat. It sounds like the orange tabby's outdoor life (provided she is spayed), as described, is preferrable to an indoor life crowded into a small trailer with two humans and four cats. I'm not the type of feral cat rescuer who believes all feral cats have "short, miserable lives filled with suffering and pain". I don't believe it because it's not true. Oh, my user name of "frlpwr" stands for Feralpower! |
