Sure, indoor cats could wear them and not have too much harm, I think, but they go in so many different places and the collars can get caught on just about anything. <BR/>I feel for the owner. The new owner only had the cat for a week. If she/he had to pay anything, the old owner can give her the money she paid out to adopt the cat. Good grief! There are lots of cats out there looking for a good home. 1 week is NOT long enough to get bonded for life with the cat, 4 years, is!<BR/>My sweet little Lady Fortuna was a lost cat. She was at a house for a couple days, and no one claimed her so she was taken to the pound. She was fostered for a month. No one asked for her. If anyone wanted to claim her, I would probably not let them have her, because she acts like she had been mistreated (but that could have been due to being lost) unless her previous owner and she had a bond like Saddie and I had. She is in poor shape, too. The foster only had her for a month and that really wasn't enough time for her to put on much weight. I've had her a couple weeks and we've started to bond.oldwhiteladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966442124843256715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10933380.post-1134697095669633202005-12-15T20:38:00.000-05:002005-12-15T20:38:00.000-05:00To be honest, I never thought about name-tagging m...To be honest, I never thought about name-tagging my cats. But they never ever go outside. I guess one slip out the door is all it takes, though. <BR/><BR/>(They have bells around their necks though: Feline Early-Warning System.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I weigh in on the side of "she doesn't deserve to lose her cat over it."Aloysiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646075765381788145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10933380.post-1134692302190775282005-12-15T19:18:00.000-05:002005-12-15T19:18:00.000-05:00This adds to the distress I've been feeling for th...This adds to the distress I've been feeling for the polar bears. I do feel for the original owner and can understand why the cat doesn't have a tag--if the cat was anything like mine, who would constantly tug and scratch to try to get the collar off. (Yes, I didn't start her young enough.)<BR/><BR/>Having recently lost my cats to cancer I feel the owner's pain--and the adopter is a lousy human being.<BR/><BR/>Chip is a good idea.<BR/><BR/>Now, the poor polar bears. Who we humans, mostly us Western industrialized sub-group are driving to their deaths and possible extinction. Within 50 years. <BR/><BR/>I'd read about the problems with their hunting--this is new, that so many are drowning.<BR/><BR/>Oh, our canaries, good people, are those white, lumbering Arctic polar bears.<BR/><BR/>jawboneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
