	When I worked at PetCo many many years ago, I had someone come in 
asking for a "Vegetarian Dog Food".    The reason being is that they 
felt it would be more natural and healthy for their dog to be on a 
vegetarian diet.    I was hard pressed not to tell her it would be more 
natural and healthy for their dog to hunt down and kill a rabbit....

	After this person "rehabilitates" these stray cats, does she then 
re-release them back into the wild?   If so, someone needs to arrest 
her and charge her with cruelty to animals - because those poor stray 
cats are doomed.   If you're going to rescue stray cats, spay and 
neuter them instead.

A Cat shall lead them, but it will be a trip of sudden starts, stops,
reversals and darting from side to side.
