tho her website doesn't even begin to show her commitment

I bet if you phoned her, and left a message, she would call u back, and help with your studies

I saw it - and I felt so bloody sorry for Celia - she is actually doing what we all wish we could - and she is getting nothing but heartache in return!

She is doing a fab job - as soon as I can afford it, I will be sending a small donation in her direction

I cried. And my boyfriend kindly informed me that I would "be like that old lady off the telly one day, with loads of cats"

I think that one statement hurt the most.

And seems even more true after today.

I came across the show by chance one night. Brilliant insight but also very sad.

I was horrified by the story of a couple who had recently redecorated their apartment brown and cream. They wanted to "swap" their two black and white cats for two ginger cats as they would go better with the new colour scheme despite owning the black and white cats for years! People like that should be put on a list and never allowed to have animals!

My mistake - think it was just a mascara brush, not actual mascara! Phew!

I'm quite amazed at how settled and comfortable the large colony of Bengals and friends looked together. I'd have expected to see much more in the way of stress within a group of cats who haven't lived together all their lives but they didn't look bad at all.

Poor Mr Darcy though - now that was one stressed kitty

Watchewd it. Very interesting (although do you not think mascara on a Persian is slightly dodgy??? )

It still helped with my course though as part of it is understanding different people's relationships and attitudes towards their pets which that demonstrated nicely at the slightly obsessive end of the scale! Thanks for the link

I saw it,

terribly sad, partly about a lady who "rescues" cats and takes them into her own home, she was an elderly lady with little financial backing and there were so many cats in her home who looked so stressed it was very hard to watch but her heart was in the right place.

and partly about the Celia Hammond trust in london who take in cats and provide neutering and emergency treatment. i was so shocked about the matter of fact way people were just dumping their cats on the chartiy and it left me nearly in tears and yelling at the telly . the resilliance of the staff there was amazing and it made me want to go to work there to try to help! however my commute from cornwall would be a little far i fear.

overall, intresting, but sad and depressing to see the scale of the preblem which i guess is repeated again and again in the large cities.

worth a watch.
