ROFLMAO He is the type that hear voices he don't even know who he is talking to? ;-) remember Barry is the type that is in the basement thinking the government is out to get him or at least Phil is :-))))) Just kidding Barry I am finding our conversation quite interesting, and fun. I am glad to have them what the hell kind of news reader are you using lol that was a reply to NMR, under his post, it had a little link, that says REPLY don't tell me! all YOU see, is the reply and you have no sense of where the reply belongs sequentially? I don't mean no harm but damn! I believe I'd can that reader and get one that properly displays replies.

If you want to engage in the discussion, make yourself clear. the ones that don't? They want people to spoon feed them the last line? now reeeaaally, who's being lazy > the ones that don't? They want people to spoon feed them the last line? > > now reeeaaally, who's being lazy The one that only makes their replies clear to those who view via thread. It's very simple and, honestly--I don't have a dog in this particular fight. You clearly do not mind looking like--or being--an idiot. Good for you. Freedom! You go, baby. :0) > > the ones that don't? They want people to spoon feed them the last line? > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > like--or being--an idiot. Good for you. Freedom! You go, > baby. :0) sorry my little super sugar reader why didn't you just say so i mean you don't have to be a prickly pear <snip> Bar, Hon, to quote the Queen Hypocrite who can't tell her a.s from a hole in the ground: "Post exactly as you wish to post. Please. That is what Usenet is for.

No, notchet, but, I rigged up my web cam to record any movement, it works good, (it only records when there is motion) I need to get a longer usb patch chord, then I can record these little furballs; and get an accurate count.

When you do it just to get a rise out of someone, you have joined a long Usenet tradition. Whatever floats your leaky boat, my boy. :) > > > > the ones that don't?

Whatever floats your leaky boat, my boy. :) Im sorry, would you rather talk about vaccum cleaners? vaccum cleaners suck! course there's always rec.pets.cats.prosac > Of course not. It isn't hard to act like an a.shole, Barry. You would know. -L. > Wild. > Gail Wow, that's hot :) Seriously, I read that truly wild cats cannot be domesticated and even their kits cannot be domesticated. Well, this was for the African wild cat. Not sure about the others since obvious we domesticate some wild cats and sell their kits as expensive hybrids. I don't. Don't feel comfortable about hydridizing boutique cats when so many ferals or strays are about. But they are pretty, er, wild. I guess "domesticated can be a subjective word I see people have large cats as pets. granted, there is a strength in them, and a beauty about thier wildness! (puts chills on me) I'd love to be eye to eye with a large cat Long as he's not hungry. > > Wild. > > Gail [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > their kits cannot be domesticated. Well, this was for the African wild > cat. That's not entirely accurate. The African Wildcat (Felis Silvestris Libyca) has the most docile temperament of all the wildcats-- they're the most sociable with other cats and the easiest to tame and domesticate . Our domestic cats (Felis Catus) are descendants of the African Wildcat. I think you were referring to the European Wildcat- Felis silvestris silvestris. European wildcats are infamous for their extreme fierceness and timidity around humans-- even if they've been hand-raised as kittens. Hybrids between European wildcats and domestic cats are extremely difficult to domesticate. you must be at least 70 yrs old, to say "entirely" wooo haha just kidding, I read your junk! ever heard of an ocelot? <sp> they have one where I am at right now >wild? >homeless? >is it a brand? >what what what does dictionary mean? > what does dictionary mean? dictionary means no human interaction no human interaction means -- ? Anyone? anyone? a.s licker >a.s licker what a sad world you live in. how does it feel to be in it >wild? A feral cat is one which has been born "in the wild" and has not been socialized by humans. Here is a picture of one of mine taken shortly after he was trapped a few years ago: http://pic10.picturetrail.com/VOL320/476350/610342/7767854.jpg He's in a much better mood these days :-) http://pic10.picturetrail.com/VOL320/476350/610342/10895116.jpg Megan  Signature"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke Learn The TRUTH About Declawing http://www.stopdeclaw.com Zuzu's Cats Photo Album: http://www.PictureTrail.com/zuzu22 "Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H. Murray what a mess! That's awesome. If you get time, I'd be interested to know what would you say leveled him out the most. Just time, and being around you? At some point you had to let him out of the cage >If you get time, I'd be interested to know >what would you say leveled him out the >most. Time, patience and consistency. Murphy isn't a typical housecat that comes to you for affection, but he can be very sweet and if I want to pet him or pick him up I can usually do it without a problem. I wrote a post a few years ago that gives a basic overview of how to socialize a feral: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.pets.cats.health+behav/msg/0d0486868356bc98?hl=en& Megan Signature"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke Learn The TRUTH About Declawing http://www.stopdeclaw.com Zuzu's Cats Photo Album: http://www.PictureTrail.com/zuzu22 "Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

Murray Wow, what a difference! Looks like he was possessed in the first one. Good for you for "taming" him, I think I would have been a little afraid of that guy!
