*Sigh*


Don't know why i keep loking at the web-ads for kittens. It either depresses or angers me (or both)
Here's a couple running at the moment. What do you think?


"i have a male poodle. toy size great dog has kc reg papers. wanting to possibly swap for cat on active most breed maybe considered. he is nice boy with a loving personality. good with children older than 3. and other dogs he is very docile but full of energy."

"One-eyed Birman
special home wanted for my cream point male kitten, 4 months old, ready now to indoor pet home, he is micro chippd, wormed. Exceptionally loving little boy always looking for a lap to sit on. First to see him will love him.£150"

Re: *Sigh*


Sorry!
I didn't copy the heading for the second ad. (Done it now!) The poor little kitten has had an eye removed! Surely, if you breed, something like this is an occupational hazard and if you can't keep the casualty yourself you should either pts or find it a happy forever home FREE!
Grrrrr

There are all sorts of people out there - and these adverts are examples of the lowest.

Re: *Sigh*


Fran I can imagine your house with a little contingent of 3 legged dogs and one eyed kittens running round!

But I'm right aren't I? - she must be just seeking to get her vet fees back wanting that amount of money for such 'damaged goods' ...But I'm sure it's a gorgeous happy kittie - that's not the point!
