Title: Yahoo questions - look at stupid advice given
Post by: Mark on March 13, 2007, 22:12:36 PM: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkyVpe5Bw3JZ3G_paL7IoFFJBgx.?qid=20070313044206AAxO03j

Someone is asking if it's normal hat her cat has disappeared as it's spring and these people are telling her it's quite normal???

I searched for cat in yahoo questions to see what kind of thing comes up.

Did you notice the name of the first person to reply?

And I notice few of the other comments mentioned that the cat is unspayed (so will no doubt come back pregnant). I guess that as well as thinking it's normal for a cat to go missing most people seem to think it's normal for unspayed cats to be allowed out and have litter after litter :(

'...Ignore the idiots saying to never let a cat out it's cruel to keep cats indoors as they need freedom.It will soon be illegal in the UK too.'

perhaps a site where anyone can give advice might do more harm than good !

Well done Mark you spotted the deliberate mistake! :rofl: I have posted that up so many times and sent it to so many people and never spotted it before! LOL. Needless to say I have now amended my list as well.

Thanks xxx
