Topic: Stay In There, You Damn dvd Tray

Cats are conservatives? I've always thought of them as pussies.

 

One of my cats mauled me this summer. She was in the yard staring down a 8-10 foot snake, coiled and ready to strike - it would his, then the cat would his. .  I think it was a bull snake , but it may have been a rattler.  I wasn't able to get a positive ID  either way, but I knew that the cat would probably loose the fight, and there would be a trip to the vet, so I decided to remove her from it. She knew  I was there, knew I was coming, but  she was watching the snake. I talked to her as I picked her up and waked away briskly -- She was pissed. She scratched me pretty good and then bit me. Dropping to the ground, where does she go?  Right back to the snake.  So I go back again. She gets the other arm. So now, covered in blood, I go to find bandages (and then later a Doctor, because the wound got infected)  I come back out. She is still there, making sure that snake doesn't come any further into the yard. In the end she won- and the snake left, without a fight ( I guess the demonstration on me was enough)  Cats are a lot of things, but they are only Pussies in name.  Most can tear your face off if they decided to, and can really be excellent hunters- even when well fed. 

They crap in an area the size of a toilet, they are clean enough that given them an actual bath is a rare thing, and they are independent enough to always make sure you respect them. And cats understand time well enough to not get overly excited when you leave the house and come back after 5 minutes. Yes, cats are certainly a more conservative pet than a dog.  Liberals tend not to own them for that reason, and the liberals do tend to treat their dogs like surrogate children, and not as pets.  ( In the people's public of Boulder, you don't own a dog. You adopt them and they are your wards. No kidding)

I've heard of many dogs being sprayed by skunks, nailed by porcupines, etc but I never heard of a cat doing the same, I think they have a better threat assessment ability.  It appears kitty doesn't like snakes (who does?) and was content being a sentinel against any further encroachment upon her territory, painful lesson for the human though!

My cats are food bank cats.
Well, 2 of the 3 are. All are outside cats.

The mom, Bootsie is the only one worth a hill of beans.
She hunts and will be gone for a few days at a time

Her daughter, Kiwi, aka Fat Cat, never goes far from the door and she is right there always waiting for the hand out.
Both girls are fixed.

The youngest, Chester, is a sweet guy but I think he's gay.
He's got the limp paw look.
He doesn't go far from the house either

You guys are funny today.

Maybe it's the less gay, more sympathy ploy.

I know his mother, but swear that his father was a possum.

If you walk up to him. he just lays down and plays submissive likehe's dead

LOL.

Ours will do that too when he knows I'm after him for something or another.  I guess he figures running from our house's Official Cat Terrorizer is futile because I *will* catch him and whack his azz.

If his father was a 'possum, and his mother a cat, does that make them guilty of bestiality?

On a similar note, I recently saw a rooster(chicken) do something profane to a duck. She did protest loudly the whole time...not that long, roosters are quick....and I must say at least it was a female duck but I was rather stunned at the sight.  I have never raised ducks, so have never seen that particular event before.  Apparently it is a regular event, for this rooster and his ducks.

Reminds me of that classic Richard Pryor bit where he talks about his dogs being perplexed at the sight of a pony. "I don't know what it is....but I'm gonna **** it."
