Re: A Friend?

These favors sometimes are inconvenient but I do them cheerfully because - he is my friend.

What a perfect description of a `friend`

Over the years we make and yes lose friends but true friends,and they are few will put themselves out when times are such that it may be inconvenient

Re: A Friend?

Sounds like a proper user - and I definitely wouldn't help her be a 'backyard breeder' - I really don't like the unethical breeding of animals. Was just telling someone to have a good think about breeding her dog today too. 'Oh she's gotta have one litter'

Re: A Friend?

Why why WHY do people still believe that! My best friend insisted on letting her cat have one litter; no matter how much I explained, she did, SIGH!!!

Re: A Friend?

It`s total twaddle but something us `more mature` folk grew up with as the `lore` according to our olders and betters?

A cat needs one litter,even if we drown the kittens-bloody idiots

Re: A Friend?

I think when it comes to cats - they say it out of 'selfishness' - if it's a moggy. If it's a dog, or a pedigree cat - I think they just try to use that to justify the reall fact, some extra money!

I think we need more stringent rules, like Sweden - where the breeder is responsible for the life of the animal!

Re: A Friend?

I once had a `pedigree` cat. The late Conker,his mum was known as `allotment Lilly`fancy a good time amongst the beans sweetie?

His dad was known as rhubarb Tom.

His blood line could be traced to that moment just outside a greenhouse
