    Kitty-con Artist Caught At Her Own Game!

    I found my old LA Times article from 1992. I had set up an elaborate "sting" to expose the lady who had sold me what she claimed was a "pure bred" Burmese, only to be told my the vet the day after that I'd been duped! Read the article to see how I turned the tables on her. Click on the photo of...

    Cat Scam?

    I doubt they would do anything based only on conjecture and supposition. But I might see about contacting a local vet and forward the correspondence from the replies to the ad and let them make the call.

    Cat Scam?

    I'm not "pursuing" and will not/would not EVER consider adopting a pet under these or similar circumstances. It wasn't until the last email that they divulged their (supposed) location. I simply wanted to see if they would respond to a request for their home address, assuming that would be the...

    Cat Scam?

    Well this is surprising. I got an immediate reply after asking that they send me their home address so I could have a vet go there and check out the kittens. I wouldn't have expected this reply if it was a scam. My intent was to scare them off. I confirmed it as an actual address, but, of...

    Cat Scam?

    Thanks for letting me know and confirming my suspicion. But I've never heard of a "Reverse image search", but will want to use this method in the future. Thanks again.

    Cat Scam?

    I've been looking for a new baby since losing my beloved Morty of nearly 17 years. I came upon an ad for what looks like adorable, pure bred Bengal kittens. Owner said they can't keep them and need to adopt them out. I inquired and she replied with a questionnaire about me and my experience with...

    Overwhelmed With Guilt

    “Lucky man” Where have you gone, old friend of mine? I look but you’re not there Alone I sit here, lost in time At the empty room I stare My darkened world once shined so bright With laughter, smiles and love In you I found my guiding light Like the Northern Star above You left too soon; it...

    Overwhelmed With Guilt

    Poetry seems to be the only way I can express my pain. So with your kind indulgence: “Furry Friend” Farewell to you, my furry friend Soul mates were we to the very end My broken heart may never mend The pain’s too deep to comprehend You’re still here, I must pretend Most heartfelt words I’ve...

    Overwhelmed With Guilt

    Thank you all so much for your loving support and sharing your similar stories of the terrible pain of loss of your beloved babies. There is one thing that I can't get out of my mind and fear it will haunt me till the end; the vet had promised me that Morty would not feel pain, and that the...

    Overwhelmed With Guilt

    Since making the hardest decision of my life, to euthanize my beloved cat Morty, I've been consumed with overwhelming guilt. I've never cried so much in my 61 years and it's been almost non stop since his passing. I don't know how to deal with the loss and keep feeling that there was much more I...

    Shocking News From Vet

    Thank you all for your kind words. I had to get out of the house, so I went to sit under a tree near the beach. As I sat there thinking about all the great times Morty and I had, I began writing down some words, of which every one just seemed to fit and they came right from the heart so I wrote...
