I'm disgusted !

how shocking

Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3659558121

When will people ever learn !! real cats should not be sold on Ebay ... This happened once before, a lady was selling a cat and there was a firestorm of negative responses. And the ad got taken down. I think it needs to happen again . She also needs to come here to TCS to learn how to care for a cat PROPERLY.

is there something we can do?

I was thinking of writing ebay a letter and telling them she has him on there...
im pretty sure its against their rules...

A letter could be written to the person selling the cat and telling her that it is against eBay's TOS to sell a live animal(cat)..... And suggesting (nicely might I add). That she come here to TCS to learn how to properly give away her cat or even to keep him.

You are not allound to sell live things on ebay, I do beleave you are alound ot sell fish though. How could someone sell there kitty on ebay!!!! I hate selling my handmade collars

I believe if you are a member of ebay you can log in and report the posting, they have a link just for that (or they used to) GRRRR! This ticks me off!

I reported it...
anyone one else that wants to do so can...it might help...I thought about writing to the lady...but i figured she would just get offensive...I would contact her and take the cat if i was closer..

It is not good when TONS of people report an item because that is just more mail for ebay to go through. I'm sure once they see the auction they will remove it.

That's sad... My parents sometimes buy/sell on ebay and I browse around at times for things I like and show them. Once my mom saw a cat and she was talking to me about how I should never do that to any of my animals. Even though I knew this already, I think it was a good discussion.

Hopefully this lady will realize what she's doing and will give this cat away properly or keep him.

Report to ebay here:

I did! What a horrible person!

what a beautiful cat..this is totally wrong!

I also emailed ebay and got this automated response:

"An email on this item has been sent though this item was already reported."

Here is their policy on live animals:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/wildlife.html

I also sent an email to the seller. I wrote: "Just to let you know, selling of live animals is against ebay policy
(http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/wildlife.html). They have been notified of this. I understand you intend to meet the potential adopters, but a place like Petfinder.org or a breed rescue is more appropriate than an auction. I'm sure you meant no harm. Take care."

Hopefully, they are decent people and just didn't realize this is not appropriate for a living, breathing creature.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox.

Grrrrr that leaves me feeling ticked. Plus they had described the cat wrongly, it's not a himalyan. They should get their username banned for violating Ebays T & S.

I sent in a report.

I also noticed that this has already been done. I believe the more complaints that this auction raises, the better and the sooner it gets removed.

The auction has been ended early by the person!!

I hope they use petfinder for the cat.

Bidding has ended for this item....we did it folks...I also posted it on another messageboard I frequent and they reported it too...YAY!

Too bad for the kitty though...he has to continue living with people who view him as disposable.

loveless -- the auction WASN'T ended by the seller...it was ended by ebay...at this moment the seller still hasn't logged in to see WHY it was ended.
