Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2007A conversation on a winter's morning
This just occurred. Mir was sitting at the door into the enclosure (though it's -2 C outside, I've had the door open all morning) and a Great Tit landed in the apple tree right outside the enclosure. Tit: chirp-chirp-chirp Mir: ack-ack-ack Tit: chirp-chirp-chirp Mir: ack-ack-ack Tit: chirp-chirp-chirp Mir: ack-ack-ack Translated: Tit: I'm out here and you're in there, nyah-nyah-nyah Mir: Come here you little so-and-so Tit: What are you gonna do about it? You're in a cage! Mir: Why, I oughta... Tit: <sing-song> You can't get me, you can't get me! Mir: #&¤**@!!! Miranda is now sitting in the middle of my kitchen table all hunched up and very put out.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > Tit: chirp-chirp-chirp > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Mir: ack-ack-ack My Aries (RB) was great at what my mother calls "schnattering" where a cat is trying to snarl at outside prey while its teeth are chattering hungrily. The difference in the outcome in his case was that he'd let himself out through the catflap (or have his slave open a door or window) and go after said prey, which would have to fly off hurriedly. Purrs for Mir's offended dignity since she can't get her revenge. Gordon & the FF > This just occurred.

Door open. :) Miranda insists on having the door open, so what > can a mere catslave do? ;) That's almost exactly how we started the day here. 31F (about 0C) but brilliant sunshine and no wind at all. Dog and cats wanting in and out access to the back yard more often than I'm feeling like walking over to the door. Besides I'm in my jammies and slippers, drinking coffee and knitting enjoying my morning. So the sliding glass door got left open wide enough for Kayla, Jake and Molly for about an hour. There is just no convincing them that those patches of sunshine they can see outside aren't as warm as they look. I don't know, maybe if you have thick fur and find the perfect spot and lie perfectly still, they are that warm. Jo > Excuse me? I know you northern buropeans are very cold-hardy, but > -2C is *very* cold! > Yikes! I don't think it's all *that* cold. It's just below the freezing temp for water. Of course, you Texans don't see water freeze except in the refrigerator. :) Neither do we San Franciscans, but I did spend my formative years, as well as many adult years, in Boston, where it often goes far below freezing. So a day when the temperature is close to the freezing point (or, from that perspective, the *melting* point) feels pretty tolerable. At least your cheeks aren't getting chapped just from standing outside! Joyce On Nov 29, 2:19�pm, bastXXXe...@sonic.net wrote: > �> Excuse me?

Dot also likes to say "Ack". Monty Python had the Knights who say "Ni", but we have something even better - the girls who say "Ack". > This just occurred.

It is cold, cold, cold here after a welcome snow storm. This morning, TuTu went to the patio door and asked to go out. I warned her that it was 20 degrees, but she insisted. I opened the sliding door and she went out and looked around. She saw some snow at the end of the fence and went to investigate. She took a good sniff then turned around and ran back to be let inside. This all lasted less than two minutes. MLB |
