Hi, I kindof like stumbling into things tho. Striding purposefully takes a bit of effort. Im much too laid back.

Wish me luck, I am movin house, have the removal van booked and myself and a cat to move, but the estate agents are not giving me the key to the new house. Im off now to vivit their office and cry :)

Must do some packing........

What is it with people here and cats?

Good luck!

Cats appeal to us imaginative sorts, because cats have lots of imagination too. Live with one or more for a short time, and you'll see what I mean.
I once stumped Anne McCaffrey by asking her why intelligent feline species are common in fantasy/sci-fi, but not canine species.

For a minute there I thought, 'I never knew Anne McCaffrey played cricket'.

This *is* the strange thoughts thread

I'm fond of cats myself, but my immune system isn't. Since I'm also fond of breathing, I have parrots instead.

--Ross Smith

I used to have a cat - Harry Cat (Beans) - a rather bad pun, but rather in fitting with the Nextian oeuvre... He was the proto-Greebo, except with a different fur colour and without the smell. Anything that breathed was either shagged or clawed. He used to extrapolate cat-food off at least two old ladies along the street in the manner of a mafia don, and would carry buck rabbits over 6 foot fences to skin them in the back garden.

All in all a fine figure of a feline.

Magda - that's the problem with breathing - it's so addictive.

'Extrapolating cat food"? That don't sound right to me.
Expropriating or extorting, surely ?

(I've got a dictionary, and I'm not afraid to use it).

Mea culpa.

I knew it sounded wrong at the time, but it also sounded right at the same time.

We had a cat once. Well, we thought we did. Turned out that the people over the road already had it. Damn thing had kittens, and the mog would periodically transplant the whole litter, one at a time, from one house to another. Foolish beast it was; fat, black and white and very stupid. She would try to hide behind a daffodil while hunting birds, despite the fact that she bulged out about six inches either side of the stalk.

Sounds not unlike my Skiffle. For the first couple of years I owned her, she would sometimes turn around suddenly, forgetting that she was sitting in front of the door/table/chair. Cue sound of cat's head hitting furniture.

She seems to have finally knocked that lesson into her head though.

Think the clock is muddled.

The tears worked, but it was touch and go. Moving on Saturday, hurray. Gripper ( cat) is worried, but he usually is.

Whats the daft one from father ted called?? It is Dougal. Isnt it?

TED: OK, Dougal, we'll try one more time. These are small ... and those are far away.

DOUGAL: No, Ted, I still don't get it.

It was a toss up between that and the other quote, difficult decision that.......

Shortly after one of the Christmas Days during my early childhood the cat (named Pyewhacket) who was then in our family brought most of a turkey carcass home from some unknown location (across a square of allotments onto which our garden backed).

Shake, shake, shake those entroposcopes... my good friend Trisha also has a cat called Pyewhacket!

I had a cat that once brought the remains of a chicken carcass home. I was sitting by the cat flap when Shiraz entered, dragging this *thing* of bones and bits. For one moment, I honestly thought he'd got hold of an Alien.
Vila started by bringing home bits of foam rubber and a tiny strip of carpet. His first edible prey was a sausage.

H'mm, sounds as though he was well-named... he obviously liked to catch things which couldn't fight back! :-)
