Title: Simon, the cat
Post by: mullet on April 11, 2010, 05:50:00 pm
   It's funny how cats will pay you back for snatching them from the Jaws of Death. My daughter and her boyfriend were here with his "POC" Red nose Pitbull. Well it was only a matter of time till she found my old buddy curled up in the bush's. Since the dog didn't have a collar on I grabbed the cat and tried to throw it in the house, I guess he thought I was too slow and he could handle it? :-[ ;D But, he's still my buddy. ;D

     Dang, boy, I learned a long time ago, with the same incentive on your arm, and hand, they think you are going to give em to the dog!  Got a collar for the dog yet?  Yeah, I don't grab a cat unless, I can assure I can get to it long before any dog, or other danger  is close enough to scare it, other wise I go after whatever is causing the threat.  Collar or no collar.  Man, I hope you got it sterilized good after that.  Need to get some of Jamie's Chaga now.  Hey, when are you going to be home?  I want to bring some bamboo over for you to take up to the classic for the head Yooper in Charge of da Troll crossing.  I told Dana I would get him some bamboo.  That would save me some shipping.  Give me a call when it would be a good time to come over.  I don't want to come over after you just got home from work, and had a bad day there though. ::)  I don't want any red nose clamped down on my leg. :o  Especially if he smells my cat! ;)

 I had other thoughts running through my mind, but My neighbors are too close and the Grandson was there, too.

 Wayne, I've been home from Brazil since March.   And, look how sweet this bugger is. >:D

  Eddie, at the first sign of any infection at all I would head for the doc. Cat scrathes are nothing to play with. Steve

 Thanks, Steve. The first thing I did was dump dish detergent on them and scrub it to raw meat. The nice ones are teeth bites. And, they look a lot worse now. :)

Durn, Eddie-you better keep some peroxide on that. And I think I'd trade ol' fluffy there to Pat.  :)

Youch! I have a tom that hangs aroung the back porch begging and hisses at me every time i come out. Had mom swing by to check on things whilst I was gone and be damned if he wasn't in the house marking his territory for the last week - got some cat thinning to do when I get home >:D.

 I've got mine and this one just moved in with us. I've always had hunting dogs and cats at the same time. Cat's have a different attitude and I like to have at least one around. This one keeps the squirrels from making nest in my shop.

     Yeah, but I thought you were going up to hunt turkeys at Pappy's place, and then had to get a certificate to drill in N.C., so I didn't know your schedule.  So when would be a good time to bring the boo over, and maybe sit down and do a little Knapp lesson?  I am going to the gun show this coming Sat.  But Sunday is open, or the next week end.

Looks like you should have picked up the dog to save it from Simon...

That happened to me once...Never have and never will ever try to save another cat. They have nine lives you know?

Sorry to sound rude,I know that cats are great pets and companions for some, but cats don't live long around here. ;)

 Pappy, I promise I'd have solved the problem if it hadn't been my grandson's dog. I'll shoot a dog in a heart beat that won't respond to commands or you can't control. That's why I always had Labs. The cat was cool till he thought I didn't have a handle on what was happening. ;)

glad that it was the cat that was being chased, and not you or your grandson.  I have to admit that as much as I dislike cats, I dislike aggressive dogs more.

I've been on the receiving end of aggressive dogs a few times, and after my last "adventure" have sworn that the next one goes to the big pound in the sky....particularly if the bad behavior happens when my kids are around.  I have adopted a "zero tolerance rule" and I joke that I carry two cans of pepper spray.  One for the dog, and one for the owner.....now, if I could carry a side arm....

As for your arm Eddie, remember that "the solution to pollution is dilution"....get that thing completely rinsed with a saline solution (punctures especially), then do it again and again....followed by a good rinse with Betadine solution (any drug store has it) and a good triple antibiotic.  Hate for you to end up with a nasty infection.

theres a big fluffy cat that strolls through the yard behind my house.  drives my dachshunds crazy!  stupid cat will sit there and just look around about a foot from the fence, lick, lick, look around, lick lick look around, and never once will look at the dogs.  that cat will get it one day.  either copper ball or home grown arrows landing in close..
