In fact [<i>said in an overly defensive tone</i>] if I had to choose between getting "The Complete Works of Ayn Rand" for Christmas and a stray kitten, I'd choose the stray kitten! And I'd buy a nice pitbull puppy to keep it company, so that it has a <i>friend</i>.

It was a stray kitten I was given by a lady on my paper route as a kid. It has since passed away. He was a cool, non-sneaking sort of cat. I get this feeling, this hunch, this odd vibe, this vague sensation that tells me you hate cats; I don't know what it is, but I just seem to sense it. ;)<br /><br />Tim, I saw your cat at TLBC! I remember saying to myself, "Lord, that is one big cat!"<br /><br />But a cat that size, one could almost get away with calling it something other than a cat, like with the neighbours thinking it a racoon. Though a cat, it's like it fell out of the bounds of Catdom just by sheer size. Which makes the cat almost heroic. So the Man Card is retained.Paul Stilwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446241126728692642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725975489373372070.post-74028119536076347742010-07-31T11:32:34.596-07:002010-07-31T11:32:34.596-07:00That looks like a Maine Coon Cat.

He weighs 23 pounds.<br /><br />The Schnauzer loves me, the Dachshund and the Border Collie love my wife especially, but the cat hates all of us equally.<br /><br />I have to admit, he's my favorite. Does that mean my Man Card is revoked?Tim J.http://timothyjones.typepad.com/old_world_swine/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725975489373372070.post-22549196462861591372010-07-31T10:10:00.203-07:002010-07-31T10:10:00.203-07:00+JMJ+

In fact, I was just telling one of them about this post, and she looked as if she was going to melt with delight at the phrases "torturing a dragonfly" and "put it out of its misery." She <i>squealed</i> when I quoted the "mean bastards" line verbatim. It was as if I had stepped into the Twilight Zone.<br /><br />But thank you for clearing that up. And thank God the cats belong to someone else! =PEnbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725975489373372070.post-11015591627812038692010-07-30T23:43:40.537-07:002010-07-30T23:43:40.537-07:00The cats aren't mine!
