Here's a positive thread

I had the rat man round today cos we have a serious rat problem around where I live - Seamus arrives with a rat in his mouth and made great friends with the rat man. And for once he left it in the garden.

Got a 75 gallon salt water reef tank here with a blue tang and a big green brittle starfish that eats out of my hand.

A cat named sassy. sassy is a grey short-haired tiger. A killer. Did you ever notice how a cat will sit and stare at you with the pupils in its eyes changing shape? Well, it's not love. The cat is always sizing you up for the kill. It's instinct. You didn't really think that cat loved you did you?

Had two cockatiels. The first one I had out on the deck on a nice spring day. A strong wind blew the cage over...and it crashed and broke. The bird sat up in a tree...but wouldn't come to me when I called it. It lost its sense of direction. Moved further and further from branch to branch out into the woods. I could hear it calling for a day or two...but lost sight of it. It most likely fell prey to a passing hawk. Although, a friend told me recently that there are actually parakeets out in the wild around here now who have learned how to nest together in commune style to brave these cold winters.

The other cockatiel fell prey to something that was smart enough to open the cage door, slaughter the bird in a corner of the cage (feathers were the evidence), and get the cage door open again to leave with its kill (no body was found). A Kingfisher? A Racoon?

Never had much luck with dogs or rabbits. They always seem to get run over by cars.

Hey, Roadking. I do know what you mean about cats! They dont really love us, they just look at us like that cause they only think of us as food dispencers and kitty treat banks where they only have to be cute for a withdrawl. Gotta love 'em though!

Oh yeah...got to love all animals. They just do what they do.



I read somewhere that when cats rub against you, they're sort of marking you as territory. Not sure if I really believe that though. With the purring and all, it's nice to think there's some affection there.

You're deprived of information man, you know when your cat walks about (like mine do) the house rubbing the sides of it's mouth on the corners of things? That's rubbing the scent and marking the territory.. If you watch them first they'll sniff it to make sure no one else has it, and to make sure they haven't marked it recently, then rub against it.

Honestly i believe my cats love me just as much as i do them
