Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006How is every ones' day going today
or tonight depending where you are in the world. > or tonight depending where you are in the world. Just peachy here, except I wonder what it takes for someone to realize that they need to keep their &%$#ing cat inside, if it is not finding him covered in blood. Jesus. *shaking my head* >> or tonight depending where you are in the world. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Jesus. *shaking my head* Sometimes it is not possible to place an animal specaily a feral into a home environment. I have had ferals that have refused to ever be housebroken just like people you can only impose your will so far. Some spirits are meant to be free it may not be the right thing in ours eyes but we are not he ones in charge of life. Nothing against nobody but sometimes it takes a real kick in the rear or a good scare for people to change their tune but unfortunately usually it ends up bad. A lot people go thru life thinking it will not happen to them and they are right most of the time till it sneaks up and takes a bite. Prayers and Purrs for all the outside kitties >>> or tonight depending where you are in the world. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >> Jesus. *shaking my head* I assume you are referring to me. I wouldn't have seen your post normally if Matthew hadn't quoted it, but since I have you are now going to get the rough edge of my tongue. Do NOT presume EVER to tell me how to keep my cats, Nancy. This is Britain, not America, these are my cats and not yours and you know nothing about it. I'll stop now before I get even more annoyed with your presumptiousness and interfering. How dare you? Tweed > or tonight depending where you are in the world. Oh, dear... I have just taken a look at the replies from cybercat and Christina, so I'll try to calm things down a bit. Here in Oslo it's the middle of the night, 2:30 AM to be exact. Temperature about 0C (or 32F), cloudy and no snow to be seen anywhere around. Quite unusual at this time of year... Tinùviel and Teti, my two Devon Rex cats, are sleeping, and the whole place is quiet. I am waiting for somebody to come and ask me to go to bed, I'm getting up early, but since I live alone, there's not much hope for me that anyone comes around to ask me to turn off the computer and go to sleep. I must try to do it myself, then... ;-) On Sunday I was fixing a PC for a friend. She had been messing around with cable connections, internet settings in the browser and other bad things, so I had to use some time there. After that, I had a beer at my local pub while solving a crossword puzzle, and then I went home. So, no sensations around here. Have a nice day, all of you Hans Sound like a peaceful day Hans you lucky person > Tinùviel and Teti, my two Devon Rex cats, are sleeping, and the whole place > is quiet.

I > must try to do it myself, then... ;-) If I wasn't in bed by eleven, Frank would always come and fetch me. Now that he's gone, I tend to stay up too late and then I'm tired for work. Sunday was election day here in Finland. Our presidential election consists of two rounds, unless one candidate gets more than 50% of the votes in the first round. The two candidates that get the most votes in the first round go on to the second round. Our current president got 46.3 and her closest runner-up got 24.1, the third got 18.6. Then there were some five or six candidates who got a few percent each. It remains to be seen which of the remaining two will inherit the votes from the others (I'm hoping our current president stays on, because I see the runner-up as a slimy snake spouting lies right and left).

I'm all for Mrs. Halonen too. Haven't followed the campaigns in any detail but I just don't like the other candidates that much.

So is it true that US talk show host/comedian Conan O'Brien really had an impact in helping your current president pull ahead? It's been reported in the local media about Conan comparing his appearance to your incumbent being a running gag, even that fish commit suicide at the mention of the opponent's name. Seemed like a funny bit, even talk that Conan will go to Finland for a visit this year.

It did attract a lot of media attention, but she was very popular even before that, so I don't think Conan had such a big impact on the results. In fact, it had been predicted that she would get more than 50% of the votes in the first round, so she'd have been elected directly, but she didn't. Conan's show is on cable, so not that many Finns can even see it. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Not much going on here. Been cold out today (mid-30s F) so I opted to stay in the WARM. Worked on a cross stitch pattern while watching a couple of movies...Black Hawk Down (for the umpteenth time - I remember seeing it at the theater, and it's been the *only* movie where *everyone* shut up when the houselights went down), and it's accompanying History Chanel and PBS documentaries, and am now watching the Season Premier of "24". Let the kittens out of the bedroom to explore, and Max the d-pet was asleep on the sofa, and they had a heyday playing with *everything* they found, much to the consternation of the adult cats ('cepting Ping, who just *loves* his kids). > > or tonight depending where you are in the world. > > Not much going on here.

Apparently the WEather Channel has merged with Comedy Central, because they say it's going to rain tomorrow. Ha. I forgot what rain looks like. Sherry What happened with the fires Sherry > What happened with the fires Sherry Still cropping up all over, but none near us in since the big one. Today there was a major fire in the NE part of the state. I am of course grateful that no one died, and very saddened for the people who lost thier homes. But aside from that, I just can't help thinking about all the bunnies, terrapins, other assorted critters. The fire Thursday burned up 35 cattle.

I think fire would be the worst way to go. <shudder> -L. > What happened with the fires Sherry I finally spoke with my friend today. All her animals did die in the fire. She had gone only a few miles to take her son to piano lessons, got a call on her cell phone that a grass fire had broken out. Within 15 minutes she was home, and house was engulfed. So sad.

Oh shoot, how horrible. I can't imagine living with that, even though there was nothing anyone could have done. At least they are all safe at the bridge now.

At least we as humans can try to get ourselves out of a burning house, but the animals depend on us to open a door. If we're not home, they're up sh!ts creek. My condolences to your friend for her losses. SignatureCheryl |
