Thanks!

Gotta go now, see you later

Ok.

As admin it is my duty to calm volatile situations down, and that is all I'm trying to do. I do understand where you are coming from with regards to animal cruelty.

[Electronic God-Man]

I never bragged about anything.

I never committed any sort of "animal torture" nor "animal abuse".

@ Absinthe (if she's still able to see what I post): No, I still don't know what you are really angry with me about before this. The silly Africa/Greece thing was in a thread where you yourself put the option "Africa" in the poll...it was a joke! Is that it?

As I said before, the animal services did not care in the least about the problem. They were pests and a health risk. I'll put it bluntly, I would have rather killed off all the cats than to let them end up biting more kids in the neighborhood and spreading disease. I see nothing wrong with that. We saw the problem and had to deal with it everyday. And yes, it was fun. After all, we were 11 and below.

We used to do all sorts of silly things. We especially liked pretending we were hunting or living in our own little society in the distant past. We made spears, little huts, "fished" for crayfish and salamanders in the creek, collected berries, etc. Making traps for the cats was just another thing we did. You make it sound like we were stealing people's kittens and then torturing them. If you think the "bragging" was the "Those were the days" comment, I just said that because I was remembering how much fun my brother and I (and our cousins and kids from the neighborhood) had doing these things I just said above.

You are getting entirely too bent out of shape about someone you don't know doing something 11 years ago which supposedly happened (you don't know what happened at all for sure) somewhere you don't know about nor have ever been, to some cats which you never knew.

I hold firmly to my previous statement that some cat-lovers can become irrational with the slightest provocation.

EDIT: He seems to have removed the post, but LOL! at Ulex trying to compare anything I have ever done to paedophilia or child abuse or anything of the sort.

EDIT EDIT: This thread has gotten much more interesting atleast.

No I deleted it, because it was uncalled for. There is no need to further inflame the situation.

My little Sathan, sleeping in her favourite spot, and keeping my book warm for me. At this size she couldn't jump on the bed, so I could have stopped her, but who can resist those eyes.





My Stepfather has a plate of cheese, and these three know it, the one in the middle is Sathan all grown up

I just LOVE cats. One of my feline is called "Rainette".

I want to purchase a few more.

[lei.talk]

for the many persons baffled
by this pattern of behavior

(judging from the frequency
with which this thread-topic appears
across the inter-net - the mystified are legion ),

is this quote clarifying?

A dog will always love you,
but you have to deserve the love from a cat.

a doggish devotion is accepted and dismissed as a given

while aloof dis-interest is rewarded
with active pursuit and attentive devotion to pleasing the love-object.

Wild asian leopard cat, from which the domesticated Bengal is derived.

Miaow.

The kitten here has has started caterwauling.

It happened overnight. He has become a mancat, but mataiji thinks it is a girl.

[Absinthe]

I was about to post the Savannah cat!!

[Absinthe]

Yes, it is a big cat! It is a cross breed between the african wildcat Serval, and domestic breed.




The Savannah hybrid, which is smaller, is said to have an exquisite personality that resembles that of dogs: loyal, disciplined, playful and loves children.



Loves splashing in the water, likes to be walked on a leash and adjusts very easily to new environments.

Here's the whole troop--three cats & a dog.

Super time at the AllensonDalton household!
