Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2007The breakfast of champions
It amazes me at times what a cat will chomp down on. This morning Sabrina was getting a lesson in being a cat: learning the virtue of curiosity, she accepted the offer of Stosh's behind for her approval. Stosh always carries his tail straight up, as if inviting all the world to take a sniff. Sabrina, however, looked to get a little better acquainted, and took a good sound bite into Stosh's tuchas. He was gentlemanly about it, except in dipping his tail, so that Sabrina got a little bap on the nose, which sent her into a cussfest ending with her swatting her brother in the snout. The behind seems to have been the chomp of choice this morning as Stosh followed me into the kitchen and, as i made my breakfast, got up on a stool and proceeded to bite my hindquarters lightly but repeatedly. Human ham seems to have been in order; and while the kids got pouches of chicken and giblets, this seemed an acceptible substitute for the raw flesh of my dupcia.

It's probably more appealing than my toes, which are what Ollie presently wants to start the day with. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 >It's probably more appealing than my toes, which are what Ollie >presently wants to start the day with. Chicken or my dupcia? Because if my kiester is appetizing, then set out the buffet table and the china service for 12, because that's what it'll take! Blessed be, Baha I emerged from reading and responding to the gay politician thread, only to discover this comment from Baha via CatKB.com: > It amazes me at times what a cat will chomp down on. Before reading on, I just had to stop and enjoy a moment of chuckling, as well as the reminder as to why I read this newsgroup to begin with. :) [snip account of Sabrina biting Stosh in the butt] > The behind seems to have been the chomp of choice this morning as > Stosh followed me into the kitchen and, as i made my breakfast, got > up on a stool and proceeded to bite my hindquarters lightly but > repeatedly. Maybe he's simply paying it forward. :) Joyce >I emerged from reading and responding to the gay politician thread, >only to discover this comment from Baha via CatKB.com: > > > It amazes me at times what a cat will chomp down on. From gay politicians to butt-biting? Do you have any concept of how hard I'm trying not to lose it as I sit at my desk, barely 5 feet away from my boss? >Before reading on, I just had to stop and enjoy a moment of chuckling, >as well as the reminder as to why I read this newsgroup to begin with. :) If I have made a person laugh, then I have been a good Boy Scout for the day. If i tie your pupik up in knots, even better. >Maybe he's simply paying it forward. :) That one I don't get--what does it mean to pay it forward? Revenge? Or doing his own good deed for the day? if that's it, my tuchas will disagree. Blessed be, Baha >> Maybe he's simply paying it forward. :) > That one I don't get--what does it mean to pay it forward? Revenge? Or doing > his own good deed for the day? if that's it, my tuchas will disagree. Someone did it to him, so he passes on the favor to someone else. Usually meant in a positive way, like someone does something nice for you, and instead of doing something nice back for the same person, you do something nice for a different person (or 3 people, depending on your philosophy). So instead of paying someone *back* for the favor, you pay it *forward*, get it? This keeps a chain of good deeds going, from person to person. In the negative sense, it's more like taking out your frustrations on someone else. Someone's mean to you, so you go home and kick the dog, etc. Not that I'm advocating this!! Just describing the meaning. I don't think anyone really means this kind of thing by the phrase "pay it forward", but I was being ironic. Maybe my humor was a little too obscure to make much sense... Joyce > >> Maybe he's simply paying it forward. :) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Joyce It was a Movie. Paying it Forward. Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment. The idea is you do three good things to help three people and they help three people and exponentially it grows from there. Cute concept. The idea is right but you just can't always count on other people. And (in the movie) don't count on a touchy feel good ending. Jill So this will mean that I have to bite 3 people on the derriere? I am fond of saying the immortal phrase "Bite me," usually at work after hanging up on a difficult yutz who refuses to take a simple message. This may be my own karma at work here, too.

Some people have all the fun! > I am fond of saying the immortal phrase "Bite me," usually at work after > hanging up on a difficult yutz who refuses to take a simple message. This may > be my own karma at work here, too. You can do that at work? That definitely wouldn't fly where I work. I'm sorry you have to deal with jerks, but at least you can blow off steam when someone deserves it. Joyce > It amazes me at times what a cat will chomp down on.
