Four -eared cat and a sad piece of news
href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1046684/Meet-Yoda-cat-FOUR-ears.html"
Bev PS. A sad piece of news from New Zealand. In one of our cities a 52-year-old woman from a cat rescue service was rung by a man saying he would kill this stray if someone didn't calland pick it up. She went out and the next day the police found her body. They are still searching for the killer. Hard to believe! -- -- The e-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail. |

(I realize there wasn't a cat in this case, but will rescuers now have to bring an armed guard with them to retrieve ferals and strays?) What a terrible story. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

People intent on finding victims often tactics of this sort to find them. Something for sale they are interested in looking at, perhaps. Or in this case luring someone with a soft heart to a spot where she was vulnerable. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I wouldn't go to a strange place to meet a strange guy who threatened to kill a cat.

That really sucks. I can usually sense an overall feeling of violence from somebody and I probably wouldn't have made such a trip alone. When a drunk buddy talks all night about fights he's been in and who beat up who, it means that he is going to pick a new fight that evening and if you're the one in the room, then you'll be the victim. |

That's why I am so cautious about things like "My Space", "Craig's List", etc. (Not to mention the various "personals" and "dating" sites.) Even people you'd think were old enough to be cautious about them take people there at face value, with no guarantee they are who and what they SAY they are! I'm certainly glad I'm not trying to raise a teen-ager THESE days! |

I'm certainly glad I'm not trying to raise a teen-ager THESE days! There are parental controls (blocks) that can be put on computers. And parents should monitor (and set time limits on) online access. I'm probably being far too simplistic. Kids find ways around things. I can't comment on My Space (or online dating!). But I have a friend who sold her car in a single day after putting an ad on Craig's List. (Her husband is the one who actually showed the guy the car.) I'll be selling some furniture using Craig's List. You can bet I won't be alone if anyone contacts me and says they want to look at it. Better safe than sorry. It's a sad commentary on society when a useful tool such as this could be a catalyst for predators. Having said that, there are nuts everywhere. In 1984 I put an ad in the newspaper to sell my wedding gown. The only respondents were men and they turned out to be obscene phone calls! I can laugh now; at the time it was alarming. I immediately called the paper and had them pull the ad. Never did get rid of that damn dress. Jill |
