|  |     It's a good thing you didn't mention your friend's name - he would have
    gotten a nasty letter from me!   Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Maybe you can pass this on?!?!

    It must be hard for you to have to watch someone behave in this
    way.  Do what you can to help the kittens and the mom.  I hope that
    this person has learned something from the experience, but it doesn't
    sound like it if he is giving the mom to the shelter too.

|  |     Yes, I hate people like this too, and this is really the only
    difference this 'friend' and I have.  Too bad too.  I told him when he
    got the kitten (by default... his mother thought she wanted a kitten
    and couldn't handle it's energy level) that he was doing the wrong
    thing and told him about being a responsible owner, etc. but it really
    fell on deaf ears.
    
    Anyone planning on being at the Framingham cat show next Sunday
    interested in a mom cat and 4 kittens?  Think I should bring them?
    (This will be only my second time attending a cat show.)
    
    Oh - get this one!  This guy said to me recently that he didn't like
    the idea of giving away cats at grocery stores, fairs, etc because he
    felt that the people adopting them would decide afterwards that they
    didn't really want the cat and not treat them right.  I basically asked
    him he had looked in a mirror lately.

Mary,
Unless you've made arrangements in advance with the show manager, you won't 
be allowed to bring those kittens into the show hall.

|  |     Mary contact Kitty angels and Framingham Humane and see if they
    plan to have cats at the show for adoption.  One of them might let
    you bring your kitties along and keep them at their table.

|  |     You know something??  I'm glad he is giving mom and kittens away.  He
    doesn't sound like a responsible owner to me.  If he were, he would
    have the cat spayed and keep her.  He sounds like a person who *likes
    kittens because they're so cute but dislikes cats* .  I hope mom and
    children all find good loving caring homes

| 2865.8 | Alvin and her "Chipmunks" Update | MICLUS::MTAG |  | Thu Sep 21 1989 09:56 | 21 | 
|  |     Well Alvin (and her "chipmunks") are at the vet today... at the
    courtesy of Dr. Carlson in Westford.  Because it's Feline Awareness
    Month, he's spaying Alvin and giving the kittens their first shots for
    FREE!  This is the first I've seen any of the cats and they are real
    cute.  
    
    Alvin is a Tortise Shell, 9 months old, and weighs in at 9lbs.  The
    kittens are:  2 black (one fuzzy), one Tortise Shell, and one white
    with black patches (also fuzzy).  They are all up for adoption.  I'm
    not sure if FeLV tests will be done or not.. I'll try and find out once
    the cats are home.
    
    Nancy - I called the number for the woman at the Framingham Humane
    Society but could not get through to find out if I could bring the
    kittens to Sunday's show.  However, after talking with my friend's
    wife, I feel much better - she has no plans on just "dropping" the cats
    off at a shelter and was surprised her husband told us this at lunch
    last week (he didn't tell her!).
