Re: CULT: Discouraging Cats

Hi Doris,

People do not consider other people...when they let there animals run
rampant and I have had some expensive Iris dug up and destroyed or lost by
dogs...and the people even when they knew refused to reimburse for the
loss...considerate, loving people take care of there pets and do it because
they love other people , as well as, there pets...Sandra
