How do you know it's the same cat? Did your roommate get the cat on purpose because celebrity-ness? Is this a thing? This secret creates so many questions within me.

[(Anonymous)]

That's my question. Unless it's a really distinct looking cat or comes with a certificate of authenticity or something, I'm not sure how OP can tell it's the same cat.

[forgottenjester]

They can tell because they have mystical cat powers, I'm assuming.

[(Anonymous)]

I am now picturing a cat with a numbered Franklin Mint seal under one foot.

[littlestbirds]

I too am tortured by the mysteries of this secret. Was it someone else's cat? Like a record store cat and the roommate works for the store?

[forgottenjester]

Yes, what is the real story of this cat's life? Will we ever know?

[littlestbirds]

Maybe it was a professional cat actor and the roommate adopts retired show business cats.
Also, I'm not obsessed but...

[forgottenjester]

But why would you sell an actor cat?

Huh... cool. I'm more interested in the cats than the boys but that's a nice website.

[(Anonymous)]

For the same reason people can, and do, adopt retired racing greyhounds [or horses, for that matter]? Namely, they no longer work [for whatever reason] so they're adopted out to people to live the rest of their lives in a good home.

[forgottenjester]

Oh. I would just think... the trainer would keep them.

[(Anonymous)]

They'd probably have way too many animals in that case.

[forgottenjester]

Oooh. Huh. Okay then.

[diet_poison]

Nope. Unfortunately, many of these animals aren't really pets and their owners can't afford to keep them when they're no longer making said owners any money. =(

This is not to say the industries are horrible. For greyhounds, I don't know much about it, but the racing leagues work closely with rescuers to make sure the dogs are able to get adopted, and they are well-treated and socialized as they are raised.

We adopted a retired greyhound in May. She is wonderful. <3

[forgottenjester]

I... see. Hmmm, I need time to think about this.

Wow, congrats on the dog. :)

[diet_poison]

Thanks! She is lovely!



She knows she is beautiful.

(Do you know how to use html to make an image smaller? I'm pretty sure you can do it, but I've never done it.)

Re: [large image!!]

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, the only way I do it is by pasting the picture into a new journal entry, clicking on the picture, than clicking on the picture icon (the one that looks like mountains), and letting the journal do the work for me.

[(Anonymous)]

One of the things I miss about working at PetSmart was the weekly visits from the greyhound rescue. It was just an accepted fact of life that all the employees were going to have occasional bursts of uselessness on Saturdays because IF I DO NOT PET THIS DOG RIGHT NOW I MAY DIE.

[diet_poison]

!!

What area are you from? Many of the pet stores around where I live host meet and greets for greyhounds (which we now participate in because we have one and she is super friendly!)

I know what you mean! They are by and large a very sweet breed. They're very docile and some are shy, but rarely if ever are they aggressive to humans, and many love attention and meeting people.

[(Anonymous)]

I love this :)

I work a drive-through right now, and if barking has been heard over the order intercom, the other employees have learned to stay out of my way, lest I bowl them over in my haste to be the one to take care of the customer. (And if the dog isn't hanging out the window, begging for attention, I feel a little cheated.)

[tree_and_leaf]

Sadly there are still a lot of rogues involved in breeding greyhounds, at least in the UK, and dogs do still get dumped (generally not the ones who have had successful careers, though, it's the ones who are never going to make it).

[diet_poison]

That's really too bad to hear. :(

OP

[(Anonymous)]

(figures, this gets posted the day I'm too busy to read fs.)

Roommate had to go to celeb's house to pick up the cat, so yes, we know it's the same cat.

Re: OP

[forgottenjester]

Oh. Huh. Why would you buy a celeb's cat? Is that a thing? Did you have to pay extra? Or was it a by chance thing?

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Roommate didn't pay, no - celeb just needed a safe new home for cat. I don't want to get into deets, but celeb heard that roommate was looking for a cat via normal friends-of-friends chitchat, so yeah, 'by chance' pretty much describes it.

Re: OP

[forgottenjester]

Oooooh. Okay. This is completely different than what I thought. Thanks for explaining it.

Welp, uh, congrats on the cat I guess.
