'Still Don't Like the Idea of a Cat Being in a Cage'

A look at the comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Readers:

Angel in the Doorway

“I still don't like the idea of a cat being in a cage. My cat and dog run around and play and they don't belong in a shelter. Anyway, it says that all the cages are full so where do the cats go that need a place? And why are people getting rid of there cats any way? That’s all I'm going to say. They are animals and should be free.” —

"As a DAWS volunteer, I can assure everyone that the cats get plenty of time out of their cages to play indoors or out (in a safe enclosure) or just lounge around, as they please. They have numerous volunteers and staff members to interact with. While a forever home would be ideal for all the cats, DAWS does provide them with a loving, comfy and enriched environment until their adopters come in and find them. As for Martina, she has several special people in whose laps she loves to nestle, enjoying the companionship. She is living a quality life with lots of affection as she awaits her forever home." —

From Neighboring Patch Towns:

“There are good and bad employees everywhere. I usually feel bad for teachers, they have a tough job and they get no love. However administrators and a slew of town employees give the rest a bad name.” -

“It's nice to see us come together as a Town and do something positive, beautiful and lasting.” –

Political Sign Regulations: How Strict Should They Be? 

“This is one of the few times when the average citizen in town has a voice in the political process. Let them raise their voices, and let them be loud!” -

Poll Shows Murphy Leading McMahon

“I guess after the primary the general election is more or less a coronation for any Democrat in Connecticut.” -

Macho Man says Linda McMahon will be dropping the elbow on Chris Murphy. Ooooh, yeah!”-

Two Weeks Later, A Tired Wrinkles Is Home

“Poor Wrinx is now on house arrest, though.” -

Oh dont you worry, were gonna vote, but not going to vote to increase taxes thats for sure. Do withRead More what you have.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.

The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

I will lend a hand by voting yes for the school budget this Tuesday, May 21st. Teachers should notRead More have to pay out of pocket for school supplies.
