great post marcia!!! As I read each poem I got more and more filled up with positive feelings.
I love your ideas about trying to help the people in the apartment fire and trying to help pet owners understand little known hazards. Does anyone know how ones goes about training an outdoor cat to stay away from the garage or driveway? if I could have known how to train him I would have--I was too soft on him. My s.o. would toss a empty pop can in his direction (for the noise) when he skooted in the garage door to disuade him--but it didn't "stick". I would really like to know how I could have handled this. It may be a moot point because I don't think I will ever own another outdoor cat (I didn't want one in the first place but I took him in and he was used to being outdoors and I couldn't subject my other indoor cat to him). but I would like this on your hazard list--about cats who lounge in the driveway or bolt inside opening garage doors--but I don't know what the "remedy" would be. loved the poems, marcia--very uplifting! -------------------- Ginger was part Norwegian Forest Cat. When I first took him in he was a meanie, so his full name was "Gingersnap", and I did not change his name after I learned she was a he.

Thanks Patti for responding. This is, of course, a very good point. I don't know if there is a way or what can be done to protect an outdoor cat in this instance. Is this something you think you might be up to researching or woud it just be too much for you right now? Maybe someone else would volunteer to research this.
If enough of you are serious about wanting to help me with these ideas, should we just keep posting in this thread or should you email me or what? Any suggestions? I would like to put it all together like I said so we can all distribute copies of it. Marcia |
