Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004Lily bags a bird
That's right, I took an "l" out of her name. It's "Lily" now, like the flower, because she is as pretty as a flower. She left a beautiful young bird laying on the ground right in front of the door. I saw it - belly down, wings spread, head turned to one side - as I went out to run an errand. By the time I got back she had eaten most of it. She let Eli have some too. Lily & Eli have taken a real liking to one another. I managed a photo of them resting together on a pillow. It's posted on alt.binaries. pictures.animals, together with a few more of Billy in the upside-down pose. Oh! I almost forgot - Billy got another mousie yesterday.... Pics have been posted! ARRGGH. Stupid AOL won't let me see the pictures again. Can you send them to me please? Sherry > ARRGGH. Stupid AOL won't let me see the pictures again. > Can you send them to me please? Done. I'll never understand why anyone would want to continue using AOL.... Huntress update: A few hours after polishing off her catch, Lily lost it. Something about that bird didn't agree with her baby tummy, and, I swear to God I have *never* in all my born days heard a wailing sound like the one Lily emitted just prior to barfing up that bird. It was so horrendous that I was SURE she was about to die! >> ARRGGH. Stupid AOL won't let me see the pictures again. >> Can you send them to me please?

Man, she started wailing a little before every fur ball and it was scary. However, she was a drama queen. She also would sound as though she were being killed and I would rush into the room only to find our cat Sooty (RB), who was desparately in love with her and whom she disdained, looking at her from across the room. 10 feet away and yet Wink would carry on like he was jumping all over her. It was just her way. >Huntress update: A few hours after polishing off her catch, Lily lost it. >Something about that bird didn't agree with her baby tummy, and, I swear to >God I have *never* in all my born days heard a wailing sound like the one >Lily emitted just prior to barfing up that bird. It was so horrendous that I >was SURE she was about to die! Darla is the mighty huntress at our house, but she doesn't barf-up her catch. Sometimes it almost makes me barf though. You know.......barf is really a fun word to say. To bad it is what it is. -bonbon >Done. > >I'll never understand why anyone would want to continue using AOL.... Hey! It's the preferred ISP for technical mouth-breathers. Like me. :-) Cute pics. I loved the ones of Billy on his back too. They're such pretty cats now. >>I'll never understand why anyone would want to continue using AOL.... > Hey! It's the preferred ISP for technical mouth-breathers. Like me. :-) OK, *what* is a "mouth-breather"?? I've heard this expression a number of times in the past few years. Does it mean "stupid hick" or something like that? Like "Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel" from The Simpsons? ( http://www.funky.org/simpsons/soundbites/cletus.html ). I'm not sure whether to laugh or get offended by this expression. When I was a kid I had non-stop allergies, and my nose was always stuffed up. I'm sure you know where this is going. :) The little b*stard (may he rot in h*ll) who sat next to me in school was forever asking me if I was catching flies. It wasn't my fault it took my parents two years of my constant sneezing before they took me to an allergist! Joyce (not really offended) jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt@sonic.net had some very interesting things to say about AOL and mouth-breathing: >OK, *what* is a "mouth-breather"??

I've heard this expression a number >of times in the past few years. Does it mean "stupid hick" or something [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Joyce (not really offended) Yeah, something like Cletus. Now that I examine it, it's pretty offensive slang. I was a mouth-breather too, and snored really bad; for which I took a lot of ribbing at summer camp, due to allergies and enlarged adenoids. I think the slang term just means somebody not real bright. Your classmate sounds just like the kid who sat behind me in 3rd grade. When he wasn't teasing me unmercifully, he was killing flies with his ruler and wiping them on my shirt, and sticking my braids in his paste. . Why do we remember this stuff??? Sherry > Your classmate sounds just like the kid who sat behind me in 3rd grade. > When he wasn't teasing me unmercifully, he was killing flies with his > ruler and wiping them on my shirt, and sticking my braids in his paste. . Wow, sticking your braids in paste - he was a walking stereotype of bratty boy. (And some dork probably said, "That means he likes you!" Yeah, right.) Sheesh. At least I only caught flies in my mouth. I didn't wipe the dead ones on anyone's shirt! > Why do we remember this stuff??? The people on the receiving end of childhood nastiness never forget it, unfortunately! Joyce >>Done. >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Cute pics. I loved the ones of Billy on his back too.

This morning, just after I posted the previous message and shut down the computer, she brought in another bird. This time it was a tiny sparrow. She batted it around for the requisite 20 minutes or so, then proceeded to eat the whole thing - feet, feathers, beak, the works. I had to leave for a few hours after that so if she hurled again I suppose I will find it later - probably in the middle of the night, in bare feet. |
