Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006You know you spend too much time on rpca when.....
Hi Obviously the above statement is a complete lie as you can NEVER spend too much time on rpca but having been gulity of everyone of the things below I guess it's worth sharing 1. When you ask your partner what he wants for dinner and he says "I would love a KFC" it takes you a minute to realise he means "Kentucky Fried Chicken" rather than "Kitty Farm Cat" 2. You've ruined more than 1 keyboard by spluttering beverage's all over it 3. You've learnt to put your drink down when you see the initials "BW" after ruining the keyboard 4. There is a huge box of mansize tissues (OT: Why "mansize"? Do women have smaller noses?) by your computer for TW's and RB's 5. You use rpca slang in emails to people who aren't members 6. You came name forty plus felines from the list (50+ if you include those who have crossed the bridge) straight off but you have to think who their slaves are 7. You log into rpca first (because you can't wait) or last (because you want to get mundane work related stuff out of the way before you sit back and enjoy!) Any more suggestions? Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > you want to get mundane work related stuff out of the way before you > sit back and enjoy!) You feel closer to members of RPCA than you do some members of your own family. You've never actually met many of the people you consider your best friends. For the first time in years, you find yourself looking forward to the holidays rather than dreading them because of the RPCA mailing list and how much fun it is.

Heh, If I ever win lotto, I'm going to give the lot of you & your SOs an all expenses paid round trip ticket a special pass to the exclusive inaugral RPCA convention. Of course, there is a slight problem as to where in the world to hold the thing, but I'll start worrying about the exact details once the check from the lotteries agency actually clears. LOL.

LOL!!!! I'm sorry, I'm sure that was embarrassing, but embarrassing episodes always make the best stories, don't they? I'm curious - what kind of work do you do, and what kind of place do you work at? Your co-workers seem just a tad uptight to me. I mean, it might seem a little odd to someone who's not a cat fanatic like we are, but their reaction seems a bit extreme, even for non-cat people. Even if they don't understand it, it's not like anything you said was about something harmful or evil or anything. Sheesh. Joyce > LOL!!!! I'm sorry, I'm sure that was embarrassing, but embarrassing episodes > always make the best stories, don't they? I have purred for people not on RPCA. Having never seen "Little Britain," it seemed natural to me to shorted "itty bitty kitties" to "bitties" since after all, they weren't kittens yet, they were just bits! --Fil > > When I accidentally mentioned at work that my cat Boyfriend had a > > girlfriend [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > I'm curious - what kind of work do you do, and what kind of place do you > work at?

They are trained to notice any kind of mental instability - I guess their automatic reaction just kicked in ;-) >Even if they don't > understand it, it's not like anything you said was about something harmful > or evil or anything. Sheesh. It was never mentioned again by any of us. I have to admit if it was not an rpca-er I would find it very hard to understand, myself.

LOL! When Frank and Waffles were 'going out' I carefully avoided mentioning the fact to anyone outside rpca. Miranda and Barnabus haven't come up in conversation. Yet.
