European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 20, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                994 thursday october 20, 1994 tall Reader at dear Ann Landers. May i say something to your pint sized Reader who  i am 6 feet 6 inches tall and have tried All my life to be just a face in the crowd. But there is always someone who makes a Point of How Tail i am and asks endless questions. Yes i am As tall As Michael Jordan. No Idon t play basketball. No my Girlfriend is Only 5 feet 2 inches tall but that is not problem. When i buy clothes i have to Trust a Catalon go to a tall men s store and pay a lot More or be Content with a poor fit. I have to sleep diagonally in Queen sized bed let my feet hang Over the end or sleep curled up in a Ball. At any rate i m used to my height and have Learned to Deal All Day Long with people who Are Shorter. I have Pat answers to All their questions because i reheard them dozens of times it certainly would be Nice to be accepted As i am minus the third degree. Printing my letter might help. D.z., Ventura Calif. .  0 Don t bet the rent. Most people say the first thing that comes into their head. Take Comfort in knowing that Given a Choice almost everyone would prefer to be too tall rather than too Short. Dear Annanders a ,. Your notion that cats make Good pets because Theydon t annoy the neighbors missed the Point completely. Ann Landers undoubtedly you have lived your entire life in a apartment building otherwise you would see cats in a totally different Light. I live in one of the nicest subdivisions in the East. I am sick and tired of my neighbors cats being turned Loose after dark. Every night i a awakened by a cat fight under my window. I must get out of bed go outside and Chase the cats away so i can get a decent night s sleep. The Patio furniture gets damaged and the storm doors get sprayed so far i Haven t found anything that will get rid of the odor. The Flower Beds and shrubs have been destroyed after being used As a litter Box replacing them is useless and expensive. A most disturbing experience is to have someone ring your Doorbell on easter sunday before you have had time to Check the front porch. The first thing you see is a bloody stain and a dead Bird or Squirrel left there by a neighbor s cat. My sentiment is this if you want to have a cat keep it on your own premises at All times. There should be a Leash Law enforced for cats Aswell As dogs. Thank you for listening. -nocatlqverdearn.c.l. / -. I can understand Why you Are fed up with cats and Idon t blame you. Too Many cat owners fail to grasp the importance of having their pets spayed or neutered which is the Only humane Way to control the cat population. This procedure also makes a cat More Welcome since it reduces the howling and spraying. If cat owners would keep their pots indoors and adequately fed the Hunting instinct would also be sharply curtailed. Please folks no More cat letters.
