Aloha,
Well, it seems we have a situation here. Yankee Lori mentioned a few days ago on her blog that she is a big softie, who has a tendency to take in un-homed animals. I offered her my cat. She said no. Her very funny hubby made the observation that the cat is Australian. Therefore, they would not understand a word it says. I can see how that would cause problems.
I did try to break this news gently to Dim Sum, cat of the Purple House. He was not impressed. His problem, you see, is that while he is fed, watered, has a soft bed, is de-fleaed and vaccinated, he is just not happy. He feels tormented, both by the dog, and the Chop. He lives in constant anxiety at the thought of the Bump learning to crawl.
To address your primary concern- it is clearly not a valid one, and Dim Sum did confess his dismay at your sweeping generalisations. Obviously, with a name like Dim Sum, he speaks Chinese, so the fact that he is 'Straylan really shouldn't be a problem.
I am offering again to pay for his air ticket. He is looking forward to seeing chipmunks, squirrels and Disneyland. Please reconsider.
