WHEN IS A DONATION NOT A DONATION?
I just read an article about a poor little kitten having a surgical procedure done when he started to bleed uncontrollably. The call went out to the local shelter where they found a blood donor kitty and all ended well.
Hooray for the blood donor. Now answer me this. How is it a donation when you have no choice in the matter? Mr. Shelter Kitty didn't give his blood they took it.
Now don't get me wrong. I am thrilled they could help the bleeding kitten but I get annoyed with someone who wrote an article praising the heroic blood donor.
By all means tell the story of a fairly rare occurrence of hemophilia in cats. Tell about how cats can be blood donors.
Maybe this will help Boris the shelter cat get adopted, I don't know. They will have to wait to adopt him out though as he will probably do a media tour now and be on Regis & Kelly and the View before he is ready to settle down to regular pre-hero status again.
By the way I have a cold and am cranky today. Could you tell? No?

You know what's really sad...? When that Donor Kitty is asked for his liver, his heart and his kitty corneas, people will just assume he's a giver.
Vivienne that is so absolutely hysterical. You made my day.
So true and too funny girl..Hugs and smiles Gloria
