Wildlife, living next to nature

[Nirvana]

Cat fight!
Thread drift back to original ; There are coyotes here bobcats, foxes and almost every kind of water fowl. The latest are the sandhill cranes that stand almost 4 ft tall and make a hell of a lot of noise. My friend came to pick me up one day and could not believe the racket early in the morning. She was also treated to the sight of a bald eagle and I can't tell you how rare that is as well as some white swans and coots.
I came home from buying feed the other day and a pheasant was out near the road strutting around with his 3 ladies. These are all common sights for me. I am also pretty sure by the tracks he leaves there is a coy dog living near by we only see him once in awhile at night in the glare of the headlights. My cattle dog will soon be old enough to be out on his own and he will drive him off.

side note: I have had all kinds of cats the buzz saws and the couch ornaments, as far as my options go I like couch ornaments. [/ of opinion no one asked for]

I will bet both balls and all of my cock that those "special kittehs" will claw you to fucking ribbons and smile the whole time.

And, Ortho, if you still refuse to acknowledge that fact, well, you're just refusing to acknowledge facts.

That's where all this started. We said "cats scratch" you said 'no they don't. y'all got poor people's cats. rich people's cats are purebreds and don't scratch." Which is complete and utter bullshit. We've had purebreds, paid for them, too. They scratched every bit as much as the adopters, and adoptees. That's because they're cats.

And everyone who has ever owned a cat of any kind is asking themselves why you refuse to admit that cats scratch. And laughing like hell at you.

My cats have always been companions, playmates, not home decor.

Allow me to ask a control question:

Do dogs bite, bark, and/or shit?

I need to know your answer to this question to better react to your assertion about cats.

Sorry you took my comments as 'rich vs poor', grav. I never said 'y'all got poor people's cats'; I shared my experience. I regret so much that I shared a pic of me with my cat when I was sick with chemo; I haven't shared any pics from chemo before. Not sure how that translated into your interpretation, or why Bruce saw it as fodder for more hostility, but it is what it is.

Never share, that's the lesson.

Be well, guys.

Why, we all know you've been there, done that, pictures make no difference.

Bwahahahahaha, you wussie. You ain't seen hostility from me, ask anyone what that looks like... it ain't pretty. Matter of fact, I haven't seen you receive any hostility, other than a couple of snide potshots from northern climes.

I came here to learn, to engage in conversations with people I'd never otherwise have met. Didn't think that being a 'good sport' about taking shit in the eye was a prerequisite. Thought that was done with middle school. I was looking for adult conversation, not what you represent this place to be, stupid me.

I'm an Aspie. I don't always get the subtleties you and the others pride yourself on. You'll say you were just prodding/joshing/joking, or maybe you won't. I wouldn't know the difference, and it doesn't matter. Thanks for the experience, I think.

You know, you all know I'm no perfect person. I've whined, I've wept, I've cried and cringed and made a fool of myself over the past two years. I've been angsty, I've made myself vulnerable. People here have been kind and tolerant, for the most part. I appreciate that.

I'm moving forward, doing better, and I appreciate all the support that folks here have given. I'll be fine.

I have no idea what the fuck you're on about. Sounds like you posted the pictures to garner pity and are pissed because they didn't, at least from me. Like I said, we all know what you've been through and cheered you along. We've seen plenty of pictures of bald women wearing bandanas, why the fuck would yours be special to a bunch of people that have seen way too much of this shit?

Yes, stupid you, the world you describe doesn't really exist, they just pretend in polite company. Tea and sympathy? No, tea and treachery.

OMG, you acted like a normal human being, welcome to the club.

Of course you will, you're not going to fold because you got your ears pinned back for trying to be a cat know it all.

Oh, and another thing, I AM NOT the CELLAR. Nor do I play one on the internet.

Ortho, I hope you're feeling better this morning.

Was all this from a disagreement about cats? Cats?

As least get worked up about something important, like if vice grips are a hand tool.

And it's too bad you regret sharing something about yourself. I suppose it comes with age, but I don't regret anything I share about myself. If somebody doesn't like it, then screw them. That's their problem. My biggest concern, if you can even call it that, is sharing stuff that bores other people, but even then, I can't control what other people find interesting. I find it interesting and share it, and either others dig it, or they don't. It's up to them.

I don't know what I'm trying to say with this post other than it's all good. Keep on sharing.
