A couple years ago, I got a big rubber vulture for my 50th birthday. It
sits atop the tall bookcase in our bedroom, so it can eat us if we die.
Tonight I had to move a few things around on top the bookcase. This
involved moving the vulture to the bed, where Bucky and Dulce Mae rested.
Bucky touched a curious paw to it, then left it alone.
Dulce Mae started slapping it and tried to bite its beak off. She pounced
it and meowed at me when I rescued it.
Birdy is now back on top of the bookcase. Dulce Mae has her back to me and
is slashing her tail around. Now and then, she glares at Birdy and slaps
her tail on the bed.
None of our cats have been big on high climbing, but Dulce Mae seems
intent on being the first - she says it's her bird; she caught, she killed
it and she has a right to eat it.
I fear for my big rubber vulture.
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

That is funny Mark. I'm sure she is plotting a way to get it. Keep us
posted.

LOL I find it hilarious what friends will do to point out a person's age.
A guy I worked with came to the office to find signs all over the doors, in
the elevators, etc. pointing out the fact that he was turning 40 and with
arrows leading to his cubicle, which had been draped in black crepe. He got
the usual gag gifts but the best one was a bottle of Geritol. It's a
"tonic" for senior citizens. He read the ingredients - lots of alchohol!
Woo hoo!
Reminded me of the old 'I Love Lucy' Vitameatavegemin bit:

glad to be there. Naw, was the Geritol!
