You should tell her to tell her friend that she needs to come out of the dark 
ages and stop believing that old wives tale about cats smothering babies.  I 
can just see a cat put one paw over a baby's nose and then a paw over it's 
mouth with the intention of smothering it.  And about the whole licking the 
babies mouth to get the milk, that's crap but even it was true the baby can 
still breath out of it's nose.  I just can't see how it's possible for a cat to 
smother a baby.  And cat's can't suck so they can't suck the breath from the 
baby.  And even if they could suck the baby's lungs are stronger and bigger 
than a cat's so it wouldn't be able to suck enough breath out of it to smother 
it.  Tell your friend she shouldn't hang around such stupid people.


“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are 
profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon 
unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me 
sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain

Hi all,
Sorry if this is long.
I've been on this group/list for a very long time.
Seen many members come and go over the course of time by expressing their opinions that others didn't approve. I continue to stay on for support and to help others if I can off the group/list.
However, I do agree with Kelley. There are some nasty rescues out there. They are all over.
I've been in rescue for over 30 years.
So this pretty much explains what I've seen, heard, and been involved with over time.
My first real personal kitty had FELV as he died in 1975 to secondary complications.
This goes back into time 1972. Even though growing up we had other animals and my parents were reputable breeders of cats/dogs/horses/cattle.
I wanted to help a kitten that was doom to die. I remember, calling my Dad and crying they couldn't do this to the baby. He came by and got the kitten for me.
Anyway, the kitty was a 5 week old Siamese mix kitten that was dumped at the "Dog Pound" this is what they were called back then. They had revolving doors anyone was able to walk in.
Attitudes were bad back then by the staff.
What I saw was a status ego or it was just a job either they were burned out, or didn't care it was a paycheck.
After what I saw growing up I decided to try and save as many as I could.
It is unfortunate many shelters are still like this!
Then another special Siamese kitten came along and stoled my heart.
He too was FELV.
He is the reason how my rescue finally got a name. "Tazzy" so he did not die in vain. His memory is kept alive by rescuing, TNR, and helping others most importantly the kitties go to good homes.
I still rescue both negative and positive FELV Siamese kitties. Even though I am getting older...lol
Also, been doing hoarding situations a bit in the last few years. Because reality is if I or my connections don't do something most will be euthanized by the city/county shelters.
They want to make money not to lose it.
It's okay to voice your opinions and air your beef when needed.
Most of us understand and it shouldn't be taken seriously.
If we didn't care we wouldn't react like this!
I hope what I'm saying makes sense.

There'salways someone ready to kick you when you're down, say you are not doingsomething right because you aren't doing what they would do, etc etc etc.I've seen rescue groups purposely try to run other rescue groups out ofrescue. (This is not directed towards anyone here, just what I thinkwhenever I see an "I hate people" thread.) In contrast, MOST of my adoptershave been lovely people. We did have a couple who moved to NYC and had ababy who was allergic to the cats (and you can ask all the questions on aform you want, when it comes down to it you don't know what people will do)and they bothered to contact us instead of sending the cats off to thepound. We made arrangements for them to be picked up (they paid half) anddelivered back to us safely.Felvtalk mailing listFelvtalk@felineleukemia.orghttp://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
