Merely the difference between being at work and being at home.

Perfectly normal.

Well, that cat did have some other odd behavioral quirks besides that.
But that was the one most likely to leave scars.

Cat quirks....cute even when they’re making you bleed. :)

Dragging the prey underneath with legs splayed is exactly what the big cats do, too.

Indeed. She definitely has her game face on in that picture.

I have to admit that it was a pretty good sized bunny.
She had to have done something pretty interesting to nab it.
I didn’t see her catch it, I only saw her bring it home.

Oh, and give me the growl of death when I went to investigate.

Gareth is a moron. There’s this whole circle of life thing and sometimes you’re the predator and sometimes you’re dinner.
So they ban kittehs.

1) Bird population increases by an astronomical rate IF the cats do keep their population numbers down which means we have to trust environmentalists that the cause/effect is correct and it’s a good thing that there aren’t any environmentalists with an agenda, whew.

2) Another predator is waiting in the wings.

3) Someone mentioned the black plague. Hey, I’ve got an idea, lets kill all the kittehs, they’re straight from the devil. Wait, now that 75 to 200 million are dead (source Wiki) from the plague, they discover that parasites that attach to infected rats then transfer the disease to humans. Too bad they killed so many of nature’s natural rat trap. There’s a reason that era is the Dark Ages or close to then end of them.

Those who don’t remember the past, are idiots.

I love cats and if some limp wristed ‘activist’ came after mine, I wouldn’t need to buy wet food for a while. Do I have to say it????

My baby passed away after being with me for 25 years.

If someone had come to take her before God did, he/she would know why we have a 2nd Amendment.

NZ people owned by cats must be feeling damn stupid for not having a 2A (do they?). B/C it may sound silly but this is EXACTLY the sort of thing TJ was thinking about when he and the rest of the founding fathers enshrined the 2A.


I'm the same way, I love my cats, both of them, Spunky, born around 2000, she had three kittens in 2001 when I found her and Rascal, born in 2007. We lost Whitey in October, the last of the three kittens, we just have Mom (Spunky) left now. I had as many as 9 cats at once. BTW, wasn't your 25 year old named Musica? I remember you. My oldest was Pansy, my diluted calico, she lived to be 19 years and 8 days when lymphoma took her. Had she did not get cancer, I think she might still be here now, she'd be pushing 26, she was a tough little girl, the only problem she had was thyroid.

New Zealand has tough gun control,m especially for handguns, some say they are banned, others say, you can buy them buy have to go through a lot of red tape. IIRC, I think the only countries I can think offhand with the right to keep and bear arms is the US, Mexico (although there is a clause for military weapons), Yemen, Armenia and Switzerland.

Guru, "Asian" restaurants have been serving Chat àla Chinoise (Note politically correct ethnic terminology, I was gonna say "Chinee") without any noticeable effect on the cat pop. Now if Thibodeaux & Boudereau start putting cat in the jambalaya, it could lead to a SHTF case of ethnic tension in the competition for scarce feline resources. T & B, they Cajun, they get no Affirmative Action, so right away they get to Pussy before the "Asian," it could be a hate crime.

I think we got go upstairs with this one and talk to the guy who thinks he might look like Trayvon's dad.

In re your consulting bill: as we Slovaks are wont to say, "Your Czech is in the mail."

Yes. They have also intercepted agility show premiums in the mail and wrote threats on them. Their view is that a dead animal is better than one that is being cared for by a human being.

Throughout various on-line forums, when the topic of animal mistreatment comes up I always cringe at those inevitable responses suggesting that PETA be contacted.

Sigh.
