Hi Marla,
I can quite understand how hurt you feel, especially since you are always so generous, but I'm sure Ela didn't mean her statement to read as cavalier as it must do to you. I bet she doesn't even realise that it is you who has donated the collars...and how smashing and safe they are...or that you spend money sponsoring Cat Chat so that they can continue with their good work.
As you know my cats don't go out of the garden, so they don't wear collars either, but sometimes I'd love an excuse to put one of those lovely sparkly little numbers on them.
I reckon if Ela reads your post, she will be so upset that she has unwittingly hurt you.
You know we all love ya, Marla.
Lots of love
Roz
