some people are so ignorant! one of our little pre-k students brought a kitten to school today as a gift for her teacher. sentiments were excellent - action was otherwise! this kitten was only about 4 weeks old, nevermind the fact that you should never give an animal as a gift! the teacher brought her to me to hold until the little girl was picked up, then she sent the kitten back home. beautiful little dilute calico semi-long hair! slightly flattened face - looked like maybe some persian type distant ancestor.
