Cats like spam. If you really feel the need to berate someone for an obvious spam, at least cut out the link in their original post from your reply. The guy got twice the exposure because of you... > "Nicolaas Hawkins" wrote... >> On Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:33:06 -0600, Mike wrote in [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > cut out the link in their original post from your reply.

I just took it that if I clicked on that link then there would be a picture of a cat licking a screen. SignatureCount Baldoni >The relevance of your post to cats is..........? Nicolaas, There is no clear relevance to cats. While I might argue that dogs and cats are both pets and attempt to justify the inclusion of the link on that basis one could argue with equal force that dogs are not cats and therefore my so-called 'humorous' link was off-topic and an unnecessary waste of resources. In any case the unfortunate result is that we have wasted Usenet resources and our equally precious time discussing my error in judgment and posting. I am very sorry to have distracted all of us from the business at hand which is, of course, discussing cats and only cats. Further apologetic efforts or explanations on my part would only consume more Usenet resources and the irreplaceable and apparently limited resource, time. We are all approaching the hour of our deaths. Let us restrain and discipline ourselves. alt.pets.cats means cats. I'm sorry. Mike in Illinois >>The relevance of your post to cats is..........? > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Mike in Illinois I thought he was cute and had a much bigger tongue for screen cleaning. IMHO it was fun to see . The caustic comments were a waste of time. purrs for the screencleaning pup. MLB >>The relevance of your post to cats is..........? <SNIP> >I am very sorry to have distracted all of us from the business at >hand which is, of course, discussing cats and only cats. I would say that the relevance or lack of relevance to cats is no better or worse than people who may post requests for purrs or such for humans or even the occassional D-G purr request. They certainly are not cats!!! > > This is a great way to keep your monitor clean! > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > The relevance of your post to cats is..........? Nicolaas, Nicolaas, Nicolaas. It is a time-honoured tradition among Cat People to make the occasional fun at dogs' expense, such as the proffered link does in good taste (pun intended). That, plus the fact that one of my cats loved it! Loosen up. Be more cat-like. :) Hi, Diana. A buddy sent me that thing. <-: It was soooo grosssss to see that doggie tongue slobbering up the glass. I was in a silly mood last night having watched some B movies from the sixties at a friend's house. And then, here came the dog!!!! I keep wondering what they put on the glass. Sugar? Doggie Yum Juice? <-: Mike in Illinois >> > This is a great way to keep your monitor clean! >> > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >proffered link does in good taste (pun intended).

MLB While they can both do a fair job of cleaning a monitor screen, their tongues are really quite different. Cat's tongues are rough, and made for tearing the meat from bones, while dogs just eat the whole thing.....Bones and all. [snip] : : While they can both do a fair job of cleaning a monitor : : screen, their tongues are really quite different. Cat's : : tongues are rough, and made for tearing the meat from : : bones, while dogs just eat the whole thing.....Bones : : and all. One of my strongest memories is of Daisy, an old dear of a big fat cat we had some 20 years ago, sitting on the front doorstep munching away on a bird. Beak, feathers, bones, the lot. Now she was far too old and fat to have caught a bird by herself, but another cat we had at the time, Billy, a mere kitten by comparison of some 2 or 3 years (not sure exactly, it was a long time ago) was a voracious hunter, he caught mice, voles, birds, you name it, if it moved, he caught it. But he was never really interested once he'd got whatever it was, so he just left it wherever. So, right on cue, enter Daisy. It was the perfect partnership, really. He caught 'em, she ate 'em..!! Ivor > [snip] > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Ivor That's neat.....Mine just catch 'em, and bring 'em in the house, and let 'em go, so they can amuse themselves trying to recatch 'em......The fact that the room gets trashed by their little game don't make no never mind to them! I am always leaving the doors open so they can get away...... But one of the neatest things I ever heard about was an old geezer who waters the rattlesnakes in the desert. He goes out in the evening with a water pistol and a jug of water, and scares up the snakes under the rocks, and when they come out, he squirts water in their mouths with his water pistol.....After a while, they know that he's coming, and they all go out and wait for him to come by and squirt them.......

That too......I doubt if you could prove which was more important....... >>> ...Cat's tongues are rough, and made for tearing the meat from bones... >> >> Cats' incisors are for stripping bone- their rough tongues are for >> grooming fur. > > That too......I doubt if you could prove which was more important....... Well for pet cats, grooming - surely? How often do you give your cat bones to gnaw? >>>> ...Cat's tongues are rough, and made for tearing the meat from bones... >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > How often do you give your cat bones to gnaw? LOL! - You are right about that. - But, don't forget that cats have been around for millions of years. I know that tigers use their tongues not only to clean the meat off of bones, but to separate the skins of their kills from the meat. their tongues are like coarse sandpaper......Animals tongues are sometimes pretty specialized. Goats and Giraffes have tongues like leather to protect them from the thorns they eat on blackberries and arcadia trees. And look at some lizards. They may have tongues that are longer than they are! One could write a book just about animal tongues....:^)
