Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 wanna hear something wild? Speaking of cats! Sorry if this is off topic. I made this decision to become a vegetarian. My husband says, " bla bla and blab bla. " I say, " but animals are living things, why don't we just eat our cats instead of a cow? " I said this to him a few times. I said, " if we were stuck on an island with a bunch of animals, you too would become a vegetarian because there is no way you would be chasing after any cow with a machete. (he eats meat but would never do the killing) After defending my position time after time with him and using the cat/cow analogy, I was coming home from shopping, and there on my street, shivering from the cold was this kitten, about 10 months old I would guestimate, adorable freezing kitty, and this kitty was black and white spotted and looked just like A COW. SO weird, and I know it is a sign from above telling me I am doing the right thing. She was bumping my leg and rubbing me and purring, and she is so sweet. I call her Moo, and she is in my house, my other cats hate her, LOL, and she has to go. I am going to put up signs tonight for a lost kitty, and I will wait a few days, then start the arduous process of finding a home. Don't worry, I would NEVER take her to the SPCA.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I think it sounds like some sort of weird sign. MOOOO Maria/Chanda <puterwitch wrote: wanna hear something wild?
