I work part-time at a pet store (single owner not a chain) and have worked
there nearly 4 years.  All the MF babies we've sold over this period have
come with the guarantee mentioned by Melissa.

No, MF guarantees have been the same for years.  The paperwork mentioned in
the original post was more than likely not from MF.
