"Well... if the cat was chasing Molly Ivins, it would be better."

No sane kitty would chase Molly. They might have to bite her if they caught her. Then what would they catch?

They hear you belittled their kind and will be watching you. You must learn to give cats the respect they require or we will all be shredded.

This definitely calls for Nermal's PO'd wet cat picture.

.

This is Nermal. In this picture he is plotting my slow and painful demise.

Kitty ping! Thanks for the ping, Aggy.

My favorite saying:

God created cats so that man may pet tigers.

I'm the happy slave of four of the little guys. I swear they can read my mind. They know when the cat carrier is making an appearance, and they run under the beds at medication time.

An eMail from a REAL friend, and mutual investor...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I know you are always interested in looking for opportunities for investment.

I don't know if you would be interested in this, but I thought I would mention it to you because it could be a real "sleeper" in making a lot of money with very little investment.

A group of entrepreneurs are considering investing in a large cat ranch near Hermosillo, Mexico. It is our intention to start rather small with about one million cats. Each cat averages about twelve kittens each year; skins can be sold for about twenty cents for the white ones and up to forty cents for the black. This will give us twelve million cat skins per year to sell at an average price of around thirty-two cents, making revenue about $3 million a year. This averages out to about $10 thousand a day excluding Sundays and holidays.

A good Mexican cat man can skin about fifty cats per day at a wage of $3.15 a day. It will take only 633 men to operate the ranch, so the net profit would be over $8,200 per day.

Now, the cats would be fed on rats exclusively. Rats multiply four times faster than cats. We would start a rat ranch adjacent to our cat ranch. If we started with a million rats, we will have four rats per cat per day. The rats will be fed on the carcasses of the cats we skin. This will give each rat a quarter of cat per day. You can see by this that the business is a clean operation, self-supporting, and really automatic throughout. The cats will eat the rats, and the rats will eat the cats, and we will get the skins.

Eventually, it is the group's hope to cross the cats with snakes because snakes skin themselves twice a year. This will save the labor costs of skinning the cats as well as giving us two skins per cat.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If you have any interest...ping me back and I will get you in touch with players in this 'interesting' opportunity.

I'm not sure if that's good business or just disturbing.

Mine run under the beds when it's my medication time, too!

I have four insane female felines. I'd introduce you but they told me not to bother them. They're watching Tivo and apparently it's important.
