Here's another report from a different newspaper:

I found my old LA Times article from 1992. I had set up an elaborate "sting" to expose the lady who had sold me what she claimed was a "pure bred" Burmese, only to be told my the vet the day after that I'd been duped! Read the article to see how I turned the tables on her. Click on the photo of...

I doubt they would do anything based only on conjecture and supposition. But I might see about contacting a local vet and forward the correspondence from the replies to the ad and let them make the call.

I'm not "pursuing" and will not/would not EVER consider adopting a pet under these or similar circumstances. It wasn't until the last email that they divulged their (supposed) location. I simply wanted to see if they would respond to a request for their home address, assuming that would be the...

Well this is surprising. I got an immediate reply after asking that they send me their home address so I could have a vet go there and check out the kittens. I wouldn't have expected this reply if it was a scam. My intent was to scare them off. I confirmed it as an actual address, but, of...

Thanks for letting me know and confirming my suspicion. But I've never heard of a "Reverse image search", but will want to use this method in the future. Thanks again.

Here is my reply to the owner: "I can hire a veterinariaPlease reply with your address so he can come by and see the kittens. Thanks." Thanks, I just sent a reply asking for their address so I could have a vet in their area come check them out in person. Will be interesting to see their...

I've been looking for a new baby since losing my beloved Morty of nearly 17 years. I came upon an ad for what looks like adorable, pure bred Bengal kittens. Owner said they can't keep them and need to adopt them out. I inquired and she replied with a questionnaire about me and my experience with...

“Lucky man” Where have you gone, old friend of mine? I look but you’re not there Alone I sit here, lost in time At the empty room I stare My darkened world once shined so bright With laughter, smiles and love In you I found my guiding light Like the Northern Star above You left too soon; it...

Poetry seems to be the only way I can express my pain. So with your kind indulgence: “Furry Friend” Farewell to you, my furry friend Soul mates were we to the very end My broken heart may never mend The pain’s too deep to comprehend You’re still here, I must pretend Most heartfelt words I’ve...

I hope this one is not too sad, but it's my way of getting my feeling out. This one just poured out of my heart, and it truly sums up how I'm feeling: "Final Good Night" By Terry Peterson Morty, dear baby, how I miss you so It was so very hard to let you go Time, they say, will heal the pain...

This is my memorial poem in loving memory of Morty:

Thank you all so much for your loving support and sharing your similar stories of the terrible pain of loss of your beloved babies. There is one thing that I can't get out of my mind and fear it will haunt me till the end; the vet had promised me that Morty would not feel pain, and that the...

Since making the hardest decision of my life, to euthanize my beloved cat Morty, I've been consumed with overwhelming guilt. I've never cried so much in my 61 years and it's been almost non stop since his passing. I don't know how to deal with the loss and keep feeling that there was much more I...

Thank you all for your kind words. I had to get out of the house, so I went to sit under a tree near the beach. As I sat there thinking about all the great times Morty and I had, I began writing down some words, of which every one just seemed to fit and they came right from the heart so I wrote...

I woke up at 3:30am to Morty having a seizure and trouble breathing. I was hysterical and took him to the 24 hour vet. He had urinated on the wall last night and was acting disoriented. After giving the vet Morty's history and all he's been going through, I made the most difficult decision in my...

To my utter shock and joy, Morty started eating today after almost 3 days without food! I had tried everything including tuna, fancy feast and other brands with no success, warmed, cold, etc. So today I got some all chicken baby food with a super smooth consistency, and tried to syringe feed...

So sorry for your baby girl kitty. But just curious, without an ultrasound how was your kittie's condition confirmed?

I should add that Morty also has had runny nose and sneezing, which looks like upper respiratory infection. So maybe he stopped eating because he can't smell his food? I talked with another vet who said that he had a cat with a similar problem and what he did was add 10 parts of water to one...

Suddenly, this morning, and for the first time in his life, Morty has stopped eating. He's been on a wet food only diet for more than 7 years now, and has always enjoyed his meals with gusto. About two wees ago I started noticing that he was not finishing his meals, and I've had to put it back...
