My Cat Is Still Alive

PETA => People Eating Tasty Animals ?

A cat has nine lives. At most yours is down by one.

I love it. I once quoted that same phrase to a PETA person, nearly got into a fight, and I'm such a peaceful carnivore.


My kitty does have a habit of disappearing in the closet which I use to load my film holders. More than once I have discovered, in the dark, after opening my box of film that the kitty wants to help. I don't have too many negs with cat fur shadows on them, but the fur is always in the best part of the photograph

Or hydrogen hydroxide, aka dihydrogen monoxide, sometimes called hydroxylic acid. Normally tolerable, deadly if inhaled in sufficient quantity.

you left out oxidane.
 
My grandfather's evil old cat used to kill Rattlesnakes. She'd bring their heads back to him. I don't think she lost any of her lives, because she's 18 years old and still healthy!

Well, the thing about oxidane is, it's not as dangerous, due to its minimization of morphemes, and non-use of irritants such as monoxide or acid, which as is known, cause inflammation in certain segments of the populace.

Did you notice any bleaching of the fur? If so, don't fix but redevelop! If the cat has disappeared already, it's too late.

I love animals and have had two cats. Both lived to 20 but this kind of humour appeals to me.

It is in the great Music Hall tradition or whatever the German equivalent is.

The best known is probably the danger chocolate can present to dogs in sufficient quantity.

One not well known is the toxic nature of grapes/raisins to dogs as it can cause acute renal failure.
 
One of my classmates has a hearing dog, a Border Collie named Gandalf. She sits in the front row in lectures, and Gandalf would sit at her feet or, if he got bored, kinda wander off and see if anyone would pet him. One lecture we had a guest speaker who, for some reason, decided she'd give out chocolates to anyone who answered her questions correctly. At this stage she wasn't well liked already, as some artists seem to make a point to be rather condescending to students, but then she tried to feed chocolates to the friendly little border collie, insisting it was fine.
Since then she's been known as "That lady who tried to kill Gandalf."

The grapes and raisins thing is new to me though, I'll remember that one.

If it WAS cyanide, a proper first-aid antidote would have been sodium thiosulfate --- fixer.

True but via intravenous injection (not by mouth) ~200 mg/kg body weight. Oral sodium thiosulfate is absorbed poorly and takes too long to get into the blood stream. Na or K Cyanide works very fast.
 
Our cats loved watermelon, canteloupe and peas. One of them would sit up and beg for peas at the table. She could smell them.

My Technika (the cat, not the camera—I have one of each) will try anything. She loves licking cardboard and scotch tape, for that matter. But I've never tried to bleach her.
 
Yes, when they are fixed it can prevent surplus kittens. Very important !
 
My parents' Birman cats love to lick the emulsion off photographic prints. You can leave any out or they find them and lick spots off them.

Our cat also loves peas as well as cream corn - she appears from out of the blue as soon as you open the tin of corn. As for the dog we had fence the garden to keep her out of the peas and tomatoes. She loves the cherry tomatoes

Did you appease her?

I had to or she would have been on the dinner table!

Oh no!

Picture persistently pushy pet pussycat pouncing past perplexed people, producing protests, powerfully pawing plates, passionately pursuing peas!

It gives paws-er, pause.
 
My cat once ate a whole watermelon.
 
Ours used to come meowing around when he smelt dried chillies... Finally gave in and let him have a taste of one.

Our 3 children and two cousins ate a whole watermelon one summer evening against the parents strong protests! We told them that they would learn. Ages were from about 6 - 12. They were up all night fighting for use of the bathroom for one reason or another!

I still remember our delighted chuckles as they learned to take their parent's advice and the next morning they told us they were very sorry.

I'm sure they were deterred.
