I had the privilege of working many years in a building that also housed a warehouse. Two cats, a couple as it were, produced litter after litter. Those kitties were fed and cared for until such time as they could be adopted out. They weren't removed from their family until they were at least 8 weeks old. I've spent many an hour in my office with kittens running around meowing, and the parents were always within earshot. Kittens meow. Doesn't mean they are in distress or abandoned. Did you even look around or ask if there were adult cats around? I didn't think so.
(More from Neptune's Mom)
And what does stealing a kitten have to do with homelessness? We don't grab people off the street and take them home and claim they were 'lost.' Get. A. Grip.
(even more)
So, I have now committed some sort of offense by rescuing this kitten. Apparently, I interfered with its right to die alone, in the park.
You are beyond vicious and stupid, Neptune's Mom. You are evil.
You are absolutely right, Kez, and I have been an idiot to let her make me angry enough to go over there and actually post.
ReplyDeleteBut to attack my son and call me a thief in the same day is outside of enough.
Having been in the play with your son at the time that the picture was taken, I can attest to the fact that he did not look anything at all like a woman. He was excellent in the play and a wonderful young man as well. Shows her cruelty to say something so offensive about a boy of only 15.
ReplyDeleteAnd the kitten would probably have perished, if not the night you took it home, probably one of the following nights when it actually froze. You did a good thing.
I've read several of your entries and have enjoyed them. They are so uniquely you that its like sitting talking to you backstage.
We feel very thankful that we have you for a director as well. xoxo
Awww, what a precious little kitty, Vero. We did the same thing about 10 years ago with a meowing kitty wandering in the cold. She even followed us around the block until we took her in. Not knowing anything about kitties, we gave her a bowl of milk. Oops! She stayed with us in our home for many years.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Vero.
Ronni, my son and I are also guilty of "cat burglary".
ReplyDeleteThere was a tiny little Black kitten wandering the parking lot of a local bar that son's friend owns. Said kitty was starving and cold.
Black kitty is now living happily with us, being fed and kept warm. I tell you, people like us should be shot!
Bonjour Ronni! Et bonne nuite a moi. I think about you daily with the 180 costumes rolling here. Off with their penile puerile infertile brainz in the slough, and never despond! xxoomoire
ReplyDeleteRonni, thank you for saving the kitten. Just let the rest roll off your back, ok?
ReplyDeleteRonni, FWIW I agree with you about the kitten. I once rescued a kitten just a couple of days old. It was found in our garage cabinet, full of fleas and crying with no mama or litter mates in sight. I ran to the store, got a doll bottle and fed it every couple of hours round the clock - cleaned the fleas off too. She slept by my bed in a shoebox with a small stuffed animal. She grew up to be my mother's pet, and she lived a long happy life.
ReplyDeleteWhat you did was wonderful! I love kitties and the pics of the kitties on your blog!
I think your kitten is adorable. My husband and I "adopted" one that wandered to our door a few weeks ago. He looks a lot like yours. We often argue whether he is black with gray stripes or gray with black stripes. His name is Festus, he joined our older cat named Miss Kitty. We love our cats.
ReplyDeleteVero-
ReplyDeleteI think your son is very handsome in that classic movie era way - when men were men and not the likes of the cinema jokes of today. Like Tom Cruise, and those other dolts. He is wonderfully talented and has a brilliant mother.
Just look at who they are, dear and realize they have no merit.
Hi Vero. They used to burn women like her at the stake. Heartless and cruel B*tch.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I are also guilty of *stealing* a cat. The poor thing was nothing but skin and bone. She now treats the house like her own and meows us to where she wants to eat her food. She is blind in one eye and I think, has been mistreated. My grandson has claimed her as his own.
I apologise for not being an animal lover, but I would never be cruel or see one go hungry.
That woman is a waste of space.
Dear Vero:
ReplyDeleteYou do not know me, but I have been watching your blog for some time. I often link-surf from one blog to another, and found yours in such a way.
I admire you greatly for being such a friend to cats. We have 14 rescues, and I'm following in the tradition established by my father, who at one time had 18.
Your kitties are adorable, and this newest little one is heartbreakingly beautiful. Kudos to you for what you are doing. You are my kind of person!
As for your son, he is an admirable and handsome young man. It's wonderful to see young people involved in the theatre.
Best of luck to both of you. :)
~Nobody in Particular~
Thank you all for the very supportive comments.
ReplyDeleteI will have new kitty pics later.
I've been offline for a couple of days, due to technical difficultis!
Ronni let me add my support to this long list. It's one of the downsides of sharing parts of your life on the internet. The upside is you make contact with a lot of good people - but there's always some toerags out there.
ReplyDeleteWhen they appear delete 'em. Only takes a mo.
