I just punted our cat down the stairs

[Xipe Totec]

Sorry, It was not done on purpose. Black cat, at the top of the stairs, on an unlit hallway, first time he has ever come upstairs.

I hate it when that happens. :blush:

1. Awwww!

What's his name?

[Xipe Totec]

3. It's a he, and we haven't quite settled on a name

Our neighbor is the real owner. His real name is remington (the neighbor is a cop :eyes: )

We called him stinky for a while, now the preferred name is rat boy. He is mostly black, with a white patch on his chest, and white front paws.

He is a skinny runt, and just getting used to our house.

2. Pooch kick or field goal attempt?

Did you pin him inside the 10 yrd line?

[Xipe Totec]

4. No, just three steps, then the stairwell turns to the right

Not enough to hurt him, but enough to scare him.

He's back downstairs now, sitting on top of the hot air vent (his favorite comfort spot).

7. Ahem...you might find this handy...

5. You will burn in Hades for that.

And I'll see you there, because I walk everywhere looking straight ahead. My poor cats are lucky to be alive I've stepped on them so often.

10. I have reservations

I'm ahead of you in line, and I'm on first name terms with the Maître d' :P

[crim son]

14. Well when you get there can you order up a vodka and

grapefruit while you wait for me?

[Xipe Totec]

16. Salt on the rim?

I'll take mine with orange juice, tho. I'm on lipitor, and grapefruit is the one forbidden fruit when taking the stuff.

I sure miss drinking Salty Dogs.

[crim son]

17. No; a greyhoud... no salt.

I know about the Lipitor thing. Just to be safe, I'll have a glass of wine, a sauvignon blanc. In case you accidently drink my wine which is a possibility in Hell.

19. Vodka and grapefruit is my absolute favorite drink.

I am trying to beat a cold right now and hoping that the Vitamin C in the grapefruit juice will help me ... and that the alcohol will disinfect on the way down :evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

6. WTF?! You're not practicing for football, are you?!

:scared:

Still, it's a black cat. Some say those things bring bad luck. Of course, so does the IRS and any given hooker, but nobody's perfect...

[Xipe Totec]

9. So far, it's the cat that had the bad luck

Still, he's better off inside our house. It was either take him in, or let the neighbor take him to the animal shelter.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Jesus - you had room to use the pole down the stairs?

You must have a hell of a staircase. Let alone have the room to swing the damned thing.

And did you stand on, or ride on, the cat?

:wow:

[Xipe Totec]

11. No, he just flew off my foot, and landed on the landing

Quite apropos, no?

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Oh, you mean punt as in "kick".

Gotcha!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. You must give him catnip and beg his forgiveness

and feeding him leftovers can't hurt.

Poor kitty!

[Xipe Totec]

13. He's been gorging on the leftover Tur-Duc-Hen

I don't know about the 'drugs' tho. That catnip is pretty powerful stuff...

18. I have a little old dog who's nearly blind and deaf

She gets kicked in the head at least once a day. Then I give her a treat out of guilt.

I'm starting to wonder if she's doing it on purpose.
