Am I guessing right that you know in your heart you did the morally right thing, but it bothers you that this lady and the SCHOOL do not see it that way? The woman is obviously not all there (white trash or not, there are some white trashy folks who actually DO take animal care very seriously) and the "school" or whoever represents it doesd not understand cat care. I think Catsknowme put it BEAUTIFULLY and someone at the school needs to hear it in those words. (just my opinion).
