I'm not a huge cat fan (mostly because I'm allergic - I like the animal, but they make my eyes puff up and get all teary), but these were funny.

Thanks for sharing, Maso!

San Chonino,

Like you, I'm allergic to them. Same symptoms too. But I love 'em so much I put up with the allergy. The funny thing is, now that I've had my cat for over 10 years, she doesn't really affect me that way any more.

Doc,

in a nutshell]


Aint that the truth. Incidentally, how is Sally going?

Whip,

Glad you liked these.

Jennifer,

Aint they just. I'd have ten if I could. Okay, ten is an exaggeration, but I'm sure you get my drift.

I have both a cat and a dog...and they get along famously...unfortunately I can't pick favorites. As an aspiring zoologist, I love all creatures great and small. (well, except for certain people and their ability to be less than civil )

Shovel,

I loved Tweety when I was a kid. But I always wanted Sylvester to catch him, even if it were just once. Same with the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. Just once...

Zoo,

I love dogs as well but felt I needed to represent cats. At the moment, being as we live in a flat, a dog is just out of the question.

A friend of my had a poster in his room when we were kids that showed Wile coyote with a steel grip around the roadrunners neck and the caption below it read:

BEEP BEEP, YOUR ASS!

Gotten a lot more cautious since the operation. I think she saw it as punishment for getting out. If it was so easy!

Shovel and Doc,

I had a friend who had a tshirt with Wile E. Coyote erm... sodomising the Roadrunner. The caption underneath read "Beep, beep now, you bastard." Still makes me smile when I think about it.

hahaha! I remember a similar one of a mouse caught in a trap and getting that done to him with a long line of other mice behind him waiting there turn. the caption beneath said, sure enough:

Serenity,

Thanks very much. I actually got a book for Christmas from my father-in-law entitled 'Cat Philosphies', but this actually comes from somewhere else. The book is wonderful, though, and has some very funny moments.

As one owned by a cat who had about 2 hrs left before the big sleep... She thanked me for about 1 hour. Then, she loved me. purring... rubbing... & I became hers. She will always have a place in my heart, my bed.. everywhere. Now if I could just get all the cat hair off of at least one item of my clothing.. that is all I ask.. just 1 item!

My cat is smart enough to burrow into the basket of clothes that are still warm from the dryer. Cat hair indeed.

Snowbear,

I know what you mean about cat hair. We have to defur a number of spots regularly just to stop the fur from taking over our home. But it is so worth it. Funny thing is, we will find little patches in spots we don't expect to find, such as the kitchen table. She is not supposed to be on the table but obviously takes advantage of the fact when my wife and I are both at work. But she wouldn't be a cat if she didn't take advantage.

SSG Geezer,

Yes, ours has a similar knack for seeking out clean clothes left on the bed and leaving a big ginger patch on them. I guess it is her way of saying 'put your clothes away'.
