Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004Look what the cat dragged in...
Yes that old phrase, a frog? No A mouse? No A rat then? Nope, try again. A poor wee birdie? No. Do you give up? Yes, what is it. SOmething dark, mysterious, motionless then suddenly between my bare toes. A slug. I love my cat. ;o) Vj EW. > Yes that old phrase, a frog? > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Vj My goodness thats worse than what Wilson drags in. I've been going to post this story for the last couple of days, I was sitting quietly reading a magazine a few days ago when Wilson walks in right up to my feet where he often drops prezzies for me, and dropped a creature right at my feet, before I could make out what it was it started to scuttle I threw the mag at it, and it raced away,leaving its tail doing a hoola dance in the middle of the floor, Both Wilson and I were mesmerised by this, until it eventually lay still, then we both started to look for itWilson with evil intentions and me with the Idea of saving it I soon gave up I mean how many places can you search in a loo? but big W hung around that door for five hoursjust leaving occasionally for a few minutes then I walked in the doorand saw it in the middle of the tiles, picked it up, poor thing he got you, I wrapped it in some toilet paper and took it to the kitchen garbage just as my Daughter arrived with the kids, After I told the story Daniella [Grand-daughter] wanted to see it so I went to get it as it was only on the top, there was nothing in the wrapping, then I saw a small movement and realised it was still alive, so we put it in a cardboard box with some lettuce, and after a few hours I was able to put it outside on the thick stalk of one of my Geranium plants.My good deed for the day.

Oh well - so, I should go adopt a cat that has claws and let the one that doesn't have claws remain in the shelter? Its not like I had the cat declawed, I just adopted one that needed a good home, and I give them good homes. :-) I've had 3 cats that I adopted over the years and they were all declawed before I got them. <shrug> I guess that makes me a bad person. :-) No it doesn't, it makes you a good person purrs Jean P. > >Oh oh Sabrina...you've opened up a big can of worms......lol...... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > <shrug> I guess that makes me a bad person. :-) > || EW.... > || [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > V not impressed j I've gotton a pink stuffed elephant. A blue stuffed mouse. Ours go outside on our third floor balconey. So there's not much wild life for them to bring in. I get the occasional moth and big blue beetle. Where we used to live had a bi law that your cat needed to be on a leash so we didn't get much from them then either. Tina || I've gotton a pink stuffed elephant. A blue stuffed mouse.

But let me tell you - the cat I mentioned in post, Rascal, long haired siamese looking, mute, couldn't meow or purr, but your could feel her motor) suffered no ill will by not having her front claws. She still climbed trees, brought home mice, birds, squirrels and rabbits that were bigger than her! I tried keeping her as an indoor only cat and she just did horrid (depressed, moped around, etc). She was also a super lovey girl. Of the cats I've had, Rascal will always be my favorite. Sabrina, my current cat has always been an indoor baby. I adopted her 4 yrs ago and she was 4 yrs old then (making her 8 yrs now). She also, was declawed when I got her. Poor girl, her previous owner was an elderly lady who passed away and Sabrina was given back to the Vet to be put up for adoption to find a good home. She's always been a big, fat (literally 22lbs when I got her) indoor cat that HATES grass and will only go on the concrete lania outside. > >|| EW.... > >|| [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I adopted her that way! Us to .. ours came to us that way. Our other one isn't declawed although some days I wish he was.

She's gone 8 yrs without really having to have them trimmed as they never were too much trouble. But now that she is missing one of her front legs, she has even less balance and control and the back claws are almost always out as a way for extra balance. > Yes that old phrase, a frog? > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I love my cat. Well all I get are white surgical gloves bought thru the cat flap by little ZeeB. - Don't ask why & where from, as I haven't discovered that yet :o) || Well all I get are white surgical gloves bought thru the cat flap by || little ZeeB. - Don't ask why & where from, as I haven't discovered || that yet :o) Perhaps he/she is trying to get you hooked up with the vet! Vj > A poor wee birdie? Something with wings, and oh!, fur!? Must be a bat then, a long-eared bat to be precise. I remember as a child, our cat brought one of these in. My mother looked it up in the encyclopaedia to see what it was. In the end she wrapped it in cotton wool and posted it to Batman*. *A local wildlife expert specialising in bats, who requested that all specimens were sent to him for research, hence the nickname. =# Ben #= |
