This is a CAT group not a CHAT group
wrote in message ... | If you want to talk about your religion or your politics, take it to an | appropriate group. This group is for CATS not CHAT. Marking a post "OT" | or "Way OT", does not make it somehow OK. For those of you who know | better, handle it as you would a troll. Don't respond to these idiots! | | In case you missed it, the charter for this group is here! | | ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/rec...ealth+behav.gz | | "This unmoderated group houses discussion concerning the health | and behavior of domestic cats. Appropriate topics include the | prevention and treatment of health problems and diseases; the | care of pregnant, young, and geriatric cats; cat reproduction; | heredity; first aid for cats; internal and external parasites; | normal and abnormal behaviors in cats; techniques for changing | unwanted behaviors; and theories concerning cat health, behavior, | and physical characteristics." | | My cats worship Bast! They pray to their food dish every day. Sometimes | they offer it a mouse. I really don't give a damn what idol you pray to. | | Yes I know how to filter. | | PLONK! Pussy. |

If one wants to read about and discuss topics other than cats then one should subscribe to the appropriate newsgroups or use email.

Nah... besides, can you imagine how many posts/day, per hour, per minute... there would be, to wade & read though?!? If one wants to read about and discuss topics other than cats then one should subscribe to the appropriate newsgroups or use email. If there were *no* - or virtually no - current threads that were on topic, & everything appeared to be OT, I could see that there'd be more legitimacy to the complaint at hand. But as it is, the OP says s/he knows how to filter, and there are plenty of on topic threads, so (besides my previous viewpoint) I don't really see the problem. Just my opinion, not meant to be taken personally or to offend anyone. Each to their own opinion, n'est-ce pas? :-) Cathy PLONK! CL |

So topics such as "my cat died...poor me...blah.blah.blah" is not
acceptable according to the charter? How about flame wars when someone had their cat(s) declawed? |

wrote in message oups.com... So topics such as "my cat died...poor me...blah.blah.blah" is not acceptable according to the charter? How about flame wars when someone had their cat(s) declawed? Declawing is a definite health issue. And generally people who post here because their cat died were here first because their cat was sick. Have a heart. Have you ever had a cat that died? If so, you may recall that it was hard to find people who understood your loss, unless they were cat people. Besides, death is a definite health issue too. Kind of like the epitome of bad health, if you think about it. |

Sorry for her loss.. but that hardly calls for the group to pull out the bi-laws of usenet.. to see if I broke some kind of law.. net copping dip****s. Ki$$mYaZZ |

Appropriate topics include the prevention and treatment of health problems and diseases; the David writes.. I agree about off topic posts. By the way, Chat is french for cats... I have a cat who a few weeks ago sustained a slash behind the right ear. It scratches the spot often enough where the wound, although not life threatening, remains constant. It is a surface wound but I wonder if there is a way to keep Kitty from scratching the spot? Thanks. |
