    Oh oh oh, and also, last time I promise - I heard that the SPCA in Auckland is giving away kittens for free at the moment, obviously due to an abundance thereof. Not sure how long the offer is open for, but if you're in the market, get in there.

    It was last Friday and they sold out apparently!

    Mr M physically restrained me to avoid a "oh this cat? You mean this cat? I'm sure we've always had this cat. No? Oh, I must have found it... under the car. We'll just keep it, shall we?" episode.

    except in dire emergency

    Well, exactly, we're talking apocalypse, zombies, end of the world here, not just start eyeing up the kitty every time it starts raining heavily.

  • Hard News: Blog About Cat,

    I told our late, lamented pussy cat, Paget, regularly during the later months of 1999 that he was our Y2K emergency food supply - 9kg or so of mostly-muscular cat would have fed the family for the requisite 3 or 4 days...

    Thank god, I thought we were the only people who did this. I made the mistake of telling someone the other day that kitty has always been part of our apocalypse plan, and they were horrified. Like we were totally weird or something.

    Why are you all looking at me like that?

    You're not helping, just so you know |-)

    Sorry. :) They're fluffy though, so that helps.

    Frankly, it what appears to be deliberate bastardliness that I like about cats.

    Agreed. I loved Blimpy more than anything but what that cat could do to a harmless cricket would make a grown Nazi weep quiet tears, I tell you.

    and yet they sometimes seem to be thinking "if only I were bigger, you'd be dinner"

    Nah, just eating you would be too easy and not painful enough.

    It's more like "If only I was bigger, I'd be slowly pulling your limbs off one by one and watching you crawl around the floor, screaming in agony, all the while poking you to move more, then I'd bite you a couple of times just to see what would happen, then you'd probably fall unconscious from the excrutiating pain and I'd get bored so just wander off, leaving you to die slowly, in total agony, all alone".

    What's wrong with blogging about cats?
    :D

    Previous kitty (Blimpy) was very dog-like, followed me around, begged for food, would roll over so you could tickle her tummy, etc. We wondered if she was brought up with a dog (she was a stray and we had no idea where she came from).

    New kitty (Kittie) isn't very doggy, but still mad.

    When I think about it, all my animals have been mad which leads me to one conclusion -
    there are a lot of mad animals in the world.

    I'm so internetly-challenged I never know how people download episodes of TV that haven't played in NZ. The shame!
