| 3312.1 | If you hit the bottom line.......... | IOSG::PRICE_BUDGEN |  | Wed Feb 07 1990 09:26 | 14 | 
|  | If you really hit the bottom line and can't find a home for this cat, I'll take 
care of him. I have got two cats already - one a rather boisterous overgrown 
kitten and one a 5-year-old female - both cats are spayed. I have a sister who 
is in various cat rescue and protection groups so even if the cat did not settle 
well with us there are always alternative caring people who can be reached 
through my sister. I think he would be better off on his own in perhaps a 
relatively quiet household (I have a four-year-old daughter!) - but I believe in 
venerable cats having a place in the sun .......... so if you can't get anyone 
else to take him.......

ps I'm in DEC Park on 6914, account iosg::price_budgen, and live in Woodcote

    It COULDN'T be worse!!!
    
    Thank you, Avril. I shall tell Dave that, if all else fails, you'll
    be prepared to take him. 
    I'd do it myself, but we've found that our Oliver can be very jealous,
    and the LAST thing poor Zoe wants is to be constantly attacked by
    a neurotic kitten!
    
    It will certainly be a weight off Dave's mind, and I shall keep
    you posted.

| 3312.5 | even stray kitties shun DECpark! | IOSG::PRICE_BUDGEN |  | Thu Feb 08 1990 07:44 | 8 | 
|  | Re .4  have you noticed that *we* don't get strays around the building here at 
DEC Park- is it the canteen food that puts them off or what? Pity, 'cos they 
might find one or two good friends here.....Mind you, I saw a fox in the grounds 
the other evening .....
All that apart, my offer still stands........let us know the outcome anyway.

| 3312.6 | I saw one - I saw one!!!! | SUBURB::ODONNELLJ |  | Fri Feb 09 1990 11:43 | 17 | 
|  |     I am at Acre Road this week, on Evening shift. Of all the God-forsaken
    places that Digital owns, this has to be one of the worst, although
    it has improved a little since the Creche was started here.
    
    Last night, as I was going home, I saw a dark sillouette slinking
    past the Loading area. I went over (brave me!!) and called, and
    up came a lovely black cat with beautiful gold eyes. She (I think!)
    let me stroke her for a few moments and purred, then wandered off.
    She looked and felt so much like my little Kayleigh - I suppose
    Kayleigh would have eventually grown up like that.
    I don't know where this one lived, she came from the direction of
    the dump, and I didn't notice a collar. I shall keep a look out.
    
    By the way, Avril, I will keep you in touch about Zoe. I shall be
    seeing Dave at the weekend (he's in temporary housing while his
    flat is done up) and I'll explain to him.

| 3312.7 | Zoe has disappeared | SUBURB::ODONNELLJ |  | Wed Mar 14 1990 12:25 | 18 | 
|  |     This is not the happiest of endings, I'm afraid, but both Zoe and
    the other, already placed cat, Tigger, have disappeared. They ran
    away at the beginning of last week when Dave tried to take them back
    to his flat (he'd been living in temporary accomodation while the
    council did work to the block where he lives) and, in spite of Dave's
    efforts to find them, they have not been seen since. 
    We are hoping that they have found other homes - they may have sensed
    that they would be leaving Dave - two other cats of Dave's adopted
    a couple of old ladies in a nearby block of flats, so maybe these
    two will be lucky as well.
    
    We will be keeping a watch out for them, but I suppose we have to
    face the fact that they have gone for good.
                                 
    Thankyou Avril, for agreeing to take Zoe - I just wish I had better
    news to give you.
