Mark Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 All, I've asked David O to serve as a Moderator, and he has agreed. So David now has the power to cast spammers into the abyss along with our other vigilant crew. Thanks to David for helping to shoulder this responsibility.

David O Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 This is, of course, how mutinies and revolts start... 1st it's turning our badges (for those of us who have them) backwards, refusing to wear uniforms, changing the formula, etc. Have a great time Allan!!!

danni Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 David...That's FUNNY!! I giggled right out loud!! Now even the cat thinks I'm crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David O Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) The cat not only thinks your crazy, but even believes it is a captive or slave:CAT THOUGHTSDAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from shredding the occasional piece of furniture.Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant and cough it up on the carpeting.DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded -must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed (again).DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan ...DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason, I was chosen for the water torture. This time, however, it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth and the tiny bit of flesh under my claws.DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

paula Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 This Old CatI'm getting on in years,My coat is turning gray.My eyes have lost their luster,My hearing's just okay.I spend my day dreamingOf conquests in my past,Lying near a sunny windowWaiting for its warm repast.I remember our first visit,I was coming to you free,Hoping you would take me inAnd keep me company.I wasn't young or handsome,Two years I'd roamed the street.There were scars upon my face,I hobbled on my feet.I could sense your disappointmentAs I left my prison cage.Oh, I hoped you would accept meAnd look beyond my age.You took me out of pity,I accepted without shame.Then you grew to love me,And I admit the same.I have shared with you your laughter,You have wet my fur with tears.We've come to know each otherThroughout these many years.Just one more hug this morningBefore you drive away,And know I'll think about youThroughout your busy day.The time we've left togetherIs a treasured time at that.My heart is yours forever.I Promise - This old cat.

danni Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Actually, my cat probably does think she's a captive. I brought her back when I moved home from Russia on a 14 hour adventure. She's pretty much able to meow in English now but purring in English can be such a challenge!! And she's really mad about the nerve I had to bring that blasted kitten into HER house!!

malign Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Perhaps she's really a spy, sending coded purr messages home to Mother Russia using whisker antennas. That's why she still purrs in Russian. The kitten is an agent of our government trying to catch her at it, and that's the true source of the animosity.Yes, I'm sober; why do you ask? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danni Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yes....that could be..... But....... (ponder this for a moment) The "domestic shorthair" is the cat I brought home from Russia. The "Russian Blue" is the kitten I got here in America. So.....who's the spy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 So I was wrong --They're in cahoots! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David O Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Boy this thread has gone tangential. It started as a simple announcement, went to mutiny and revolt since Allan was leaving and now we're on cats and espionage! What's next, redneck and Yo Momma jokes, a car forum or maybe cooking Celtic-African-Peruvian cuisine????? Ay, Ay, AY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
