Byron, you've got a big heart. You did a very good thing there, and if karma has any bearing, you're probably in for some serious pussy. (And not the 4 legged variety).

Well, the week (more like 2 weeks) that I have is the stuff country songs are written about, a friend told me today that my luck is sre to change, I just hope not from bad to worse.

Really, I have had the week from hell and since all my cats are inside cats, and spoiled rotten (yes, I had a girlfriend tell me the cats or her, I said Good-bye ) turned up missing, I'm very puzzled, that is how I came across these little gems. My father always said nice guys finish last, and the mean never die, I was surprised that he passed at only 68. Guys, thanks for the kind word and keep your pix coming. The guy who built the engine for my 914-6GT clone and is building the tranny too (as well as building the Klub Sport & Brumos race engines) is a cat saver too, his latest, to replace ne that passed of old age just a week ago is a Seal Point that hippies (I'm not kiddy) abused. Getting "P" has never been, nor is a problem, most of my exes still call me back, finding new is easy, but finding one to have a complete relationship, now that has been my biggest challenge, as a few of my friends have asked

Byron, hoping you find scrappy....and yeah, this is a bump as well.
Those kits need homes.

Sorry to hear about scrappy... hope you find him.

I have two indoor cats and worry about them getting out. I had a party at my house to memorialize a friend that passed away and didn't know what to do with the cats. I am a bachelor and they are used to having free run of the house so they freak out if I lock them up in a bedroom. I decided to just let roam during the party... they pretty much hid under the bed the whole time scared of the loud drunken strangers.

I got both cats at the shelter.

Scupper, the arrogant independent boy cat who when he gets out runs down the stairs, makes the rounds sniffing the bushes in his yard, has a good roll in the dirt, then runs back up the stairs asking to be let back in.



And Rhoda, the affectionate little princess who is on me like a wet blanket from the moment I enter the house. However if she gets out it is like trying to catch a greased pig!

Byron,

Good luck finding your missing family member. I have heard of cats that stayed away for as much as 9 months before showing up at the back door again.
On your rescue, a "well done" from:Fudge, Flossie, Tuxedo, Topaz, Joba, Jacob, Jasper and Gem. The dogs, Casey, Colby, Jasmine and Colleen put up with their cats but are nevertheless unimpressed. I guess you can't please everyone. (Yes, they are all shelter critters and other people's rejects.
People piss me off sometimes.

I got a call this morning from someone a few streets over who saw one of my posters, a black cat fitting Scrappy's description has been hanging out around their house. Well, they got him in a pet carrier, and I picked him up, but it wasn't Scrap So anyone want a a nice (a bit skittish right now) Black kitty ??
He is a very sweet cat, maybe a year old.


When I took me recyclables (yes, I recycle) I heard a familiar meow, so I checked and what looks & sounded like Scrappy was under one of my 914s in the back yard, but he was very scared and ran off, but at least I now know he is OK but he still hasn't come in (he has been out for almost a week now) So I am leaving a door open & food on his window sill, so hopefully he will come back in soon. BTW, the momma & kittens are doing well, but will still need homes

Thanks for saving these guys.

Good job.

Wow, I'm glad you guys are so culturally different over there! Here in Australia most blokes won't admit to liking cats - it's 'unmanly'. I'm big enough that no one says that to my face though

I've even come across blokes who brag about killing local cats

My wife and I lost one of our cats 3 years ago. She just went missing and never came back. Unfortunately we live in a high paralysis tick density location, and in all likelihood she picked up one and never made it home. I hadn't cried since my father died 24 years earlier.

Good on you Byron. I'm sorry we're so far away, or I'd ask Milly (our other cat) permission to bring one of your kittens home

FWIW There is a direct correlation between animal cruelty and psychopaths. Nearly all of the world's worst humans started out being cruel to animals - and progressed from there.

Congrats Byron. Glad to hear Scrappy's safe and sound. We have 4 "rescue" cats, and after seeing the pics, I know why I keep my Wife from viewing Pelican BBS, because then we'd have 3 more..

Glad to hear that Scrappy is back. I also wish that I lived closer, I would take one or 2 off your hands. I had a stray that I had for 2 years pass away not too long ago from feline leukemia....I never cried so hard in I don't know how long.....she was the most loving and friendly animal I ever had.

I hope that you find good homes for momma and her little ones. Good Luck

We found these yesterday in an underground cable tray at the shop. The momma cat left them. There were 5, but one was dead so now there's 4. The picture's not that good since I didn't want to wake them. A girl in the shop is bottle feeding them. They're cute as can be and their eyes are just starting to open.

Anyone in Houston want a cat? Please!

Trek, he didn't say, and boy was he upset, he has calmed down now, but has a few battle scars The kittens gave me a scare, I couldn't find them, then, there they were hiding in the base of a chair a buddy built a while back
