Smarty Jones to rendered into glue

No, they are prey for our Borzoi !!!

Neighbor had/has 31+ cats, and they just have to come into our yard and hunt the birds. (we ground feed) They in turn become prey to the wolfhounds in return. How fitting !! (at 40+ mph, they can catch the cats fairly easilly, tho it is messy...)

At least they dont take it personally, they just shrug and say that the dogs are only doing what they were bred for................. (the've racked up a hell of a vet bill, not my fault !!! yard is fenced)

Not nearly as bad as my wife with the ashes of two schnauzers and one siamese in containers on the bookcase! I think she has a spot reserved there for me. Oh well, she doesn't dust very well anymore :-

I always wondered...wouldn't the ultimate way to not use other life forms as food be hari-kari? :-O

That's like having my parents ashes under the bed.

My father didn't like swimming, so that rules out ocean dispersal. There are reasons for almost every location, but I figured out one that will work.

One of his favorite things was antique cars. There are several concours around here every year. Remember how the tunnelers got rid of the dirt in The Great Escape? All I need is bagge pants and a cord controlling the spread.

My mother, on the other hand, was specific. Volcano, preferably active. We're preparing that for her birthday this summer. Using a friend's AT-11 with a dispersal attachment already installed it's off to Mt. Lassen, a place that she loved. It helps that she learned to love flying when I took her up a couple of ties.

Freeze dried pets? Gross.

Sounds like your neighbors still need to learn that sometimes cats need to be indoor companions.

Maybe they're just too lazy to clean the cat box.

Tom

But Tom.........that's chinese astronaut food, freeze dried Pekinese.......

Think that falls under "companion..." I don't care, I call 'em pets...

And my two cats and mother in law's dog do the same thing for my wife - they notice when she's about to go into seizure, and get someone's attention. Nothing my wife can do about it - sometimes she comes out on her own, sometimes she just goes into a series of 'em and has to go to the hospital... but the critters have managed to wake someone up to do whatever needed to be done several times.

In at least one instance, if they hadn't gotten someone up to get her to the hospital... well, let's just say I'd be single again, the hard way.

31? Unless they've got a large ranch / farm / etc, I'd say that's more than slightly excessive....

I would like to think that too, but evidently not them because....

I figured out (via 31+ cat neighbors) that when you have that many cats, the whole inside of your house IS a cat box !!!!!!!!!

I went over to help them out once (OK several times) and the smell was amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that the cats had managed to deficate in EVERY single space in the house !!!

I've never seen a cat yet who understands a fence is a boundary, not an obstacle to be overcome.

Just as long as she doesn't contemplate a pre-emptive act... :p

I remember an interview with Roy in which he said that he'd told Dale that when he dies she was supposed to do just that - and put him up on Trigger's back.

Bill Banaszak, MFE

I don't know where he ended up but he died around 1971 or '72.

That they can. One morning a couple years ago my favorite cat woke me up by jumping on my chest, meowing loudly and insistently. I smelled smoke and discovered a trash can fire that was very close to breaching the ceiling. The damage to one corner of the bathroom was pretty severe but things would have been much worse if the fire had burned just a couple more minutes. Patches is a real feline heroine.

Favorite before or after the incident?

OK, who was smoking?

KL

Both.

Carol had flicked cigarette ashes into the trash can just before leaving for work. I had warned her against that *many* times.... :(
