You know, chickens do a great job of Killing bugs.....just a
thought......but, I am not sure how they behave relative to
cats......perhaps there is a genetics experiment in all this
somewheres......killer cats with beaks maybe? Or, killer chickens with fur?
Whatcha think?

Well, there was this bronze-colored beetle about the size of your thumbnail
with hairy black legs a few nights ago. The cats found it quite intriguing.
I let them play with it for several hours, until I came back into the room
and noticed that the whole thing was getting a little too cruel.
The beetle was obviously exhausted. It'd walk a few steps, then stop. One
of the cats would then tentatively tap it with a paw, and it'd walk a few
more steps, then stop. I felt kind of bad for the poor thing, so I hit it
with the Raid. Mercy killing.
I really must teach my cats to KILL. Not just TORTURE.

Aw, man, you GOTTA have the coffee! It's one of the few untrammeled joys
in
my life. I'm SO glad they have Starbuckses out here, so I can buy the

pleasant 72 degrees, sip my coffee, and it's like I never left Seattle!
Until I go outside and am forcibly reminded....

Oh well, stayed up until 2 am with the Portland gang last night, still a
little tired. Need caffeine, perhaps I should start drinking that again.

Yes, Dave sounded really good when I talked with him.
Like I said, I wasn't saying anything, but when it gets posted to a
group
and I have outside people asking, I thought I should let the board know
before someone else told them.
