You're a cat. How do you feel about the government spending millions of dollars rescuing animals from Katrina-ravaged New Orleans when it should be spending its money on saving caged babies? Should we save every stray dog and cat or just ones with collars? Where do you draw the line? They're acting like animals down there and making a bad situation worse. I think someone should do something.

Dear Cows,
The callousness of your letter indicates to me that you have no idea what you're talking about. First, let me address that rather racist comment you made--just because an animal doesn't have a collar does not make it a stray. I suppose you think the elephants of the Serengeti are strays, don't you? For your information, just because an animal doesn't wear a diamond-studded collar, sleep all day in a cozy armchair and eat the finest of liverwurst out of a crystal goblet doesn't mean it's a stray. And as for their behavior during this moment of crisis, what do you expect? These cats and dogs have been driven to their most basic animal instincts; the instinct to eat, find comfortable places to sleep, and play with stuff like string and sticks. I know of several New Orleans cats who have been without air conditioning for days. I'm sure our dog cousins find themselves in a similar situation.
When Katrina struck, millions rushed to the aid of their fellow man--but who will save man's best friend?
It just goes to show that the government is set up to help cats and dogs (and the increasingly popular pot-bellied pigs and sugar gliders) as slowly as possible.
The government hates animals.

Tragic. No cat should be this wet.
