1. Oh, dear.

Got any of that popcorn with the fake "butter" per chance?

[XemaSab]

5. No, but I've got popcorn with

veal fat and foie gras topping.

Want some? :evilgrin:

[flvegan]

7. That depends...

It's not bob veal is it? I like the milk-fed, crated, unmoving, forever suffering kind. Hold the foie gras, though. I'm trying to watch the calories, k?

[XemaSab]

9. It's GMO veal

whatever kind that is. :shrug:

Or I can just bread some in cornflakes....

[Left Is Write]

2. Bored tonight, are you?

[XemaSab]

4. Shhhhh!

I'm testing the new mods....

[tatertop]

3. Pretty much

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. But then, what would we hunt?

:hide:

[XemaSab]

8. The death penalty is no deterrent

We'd still have plenty for hats and curry....

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Oh, okay - then it's really win-win situation -

we get to kill some people who need it, AND we'll still have cats aplenty for huntin' and hat makin' and curry.

10. Circumcised DLC smokers who wear fur should buy guns from PETA!

12. That's exactly what I'm talking about

13. How do they feel about Hillary?

[Gold Metal Flake]

15. Back away from the Hillary.

That just might do it for real.

[XemaSab]

19. What about Hillary?

Personally, I think she would be a great choice for president! She's the only person even worth nominating for 2008!

[Kiteflyer]

14. Cats should be kept inside and...

...in a cage just like a parakeet.

[Gold Metal Flake]

16. Cats should be modified to look like parakeets.

No anesthesia.

[Misunderestimator]

17. Only if they are cruel enough to declaw them first.

[XemaSab]

20. Declaw the owners?

I could go for that...

[Kiteflyer]

22. My cat had to choose between declawing or being fixed.

He chose declawing.
I saved the couch from being torn to shreds, but boy does it smell of urine.

[Misunderestimator]

23. And you let him outside?

because otherwise I don't get your point. I'm sure that the cat didn't CHOOSE to be declawed.

[Wcross]

31. Really! Declawed = Inside 24/7.

No way in hell I would allow a declawed cat to venture outside.
I see no problem with de-clawing a cat as long as the owner agrees to de-fingernailing without painkillers..........

[Misunderestimator]

32. Ha! Now That I agree with... defingernailing without painkillers!!

:thumbsup:

[DS1]

24. Good point

:thumbsup:

Declawers, imo, are worse than people who let their cats out in relatively quiet areas.

18. VIVA LA SONGBIRDS!!

29. Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoset.

Thats what these two little hunters always say.

30. Hey you stole my kitties!

I have a whole tribe of kitties that look just like that. The gray tabby must be a dominant gene around here, as the mothers very seldom give birth to anything but gray tabbies.

[Wcross]

33. Tabby's don't get too big do they?

These guys are about 1 1/2-2 years old and they are on the smaller side. I never owned cats before so I don't know much about them. Do they live as long as a regular cat?
I know tabby's are real suck ups- look what happened after two months living with the dog pack!



Buddy, the dog in the lower part of the photo ran around looking for the cats when a story about abused cats was running on the tv tonight. He was concerned his kitties were in trouble!

[William Bloode]

34. Most of mine are on the small side,

Now the occasional male will get big, but i don't get to see many of the males, as i tend to get rid of(give away)most of them to avoid inbreeding depression.

Looks like my cats and dogs. I have a female boxer that almost always has a cat in her mouth. She is never mean or hurtful to them, she just likes to carry them around, and lick them to death.

Looks like a happy family. :)

[William Bloode]

25. Actually i see it as the opposite.

Having had my freedom taken from me i can never lock anything up and keep it indoors or on a chain. I have heard stories of cats in high rise buildings getting so frustrated from never getting to go out they have been know to leap to their death. Even to the extreme of breaking the window.

People( a lot of them) around here always talk of how you should treat animals ethically, and pretty much give them the same consideration as people. Which in turn leads me too the question, would you keep a human locked indoors with no freedom?

Dogs can handle it much better than the poor kitties can. Oh and Btw all my kitties are free range. Even dogs suffer serious stress from total confinement, and can become very destructive without the proper attention and outside play.

With all that being said. I can see the concern of folks in congested urban areas. It's a rough call.

Good luck testing the mods ;)

[KamaAina]

26. I still don't believe in the death penalty.

It can never be applied equitably. People would be MUCH more likely to get the death penalty for letting a white cat outside than they would be for a black cat. And this doesn't even begin to address the complexities posed by tabbies and calicos... :eyes:

[Wcross]

27. People who drive should as well.

Have you ever tallied up the dead along the roadside. Sure they are rabbits and opposums but they have mothers too.
Me, I let both my cats outside when they have a whim. I also let my six dogs run free.

Here is Angel enjoying a well earned snack in the form of Peter the dead rabbit.

[KamaAina]

28. Not to mention the people!

Have you ever tallied up the dead along the roadside. Sure they are rabbits and opposums but they have mothers too.

Remember, folks, around half all all fatal accidents are caused by sober drivers! Friends don't let friends drive... period.
