    That you would have made a comment either on the NG or when you came
    over next. But didn't.

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Dr Ivan D. Reid
    It's all gonna come out at some point, and frankly I'd rather it was in
    relatively small instalments.

    We now recognise the symptoms and are quite adept at rapid and accurate
    cat-hurling.

    I've had the poor little bastard for about twelve years, so he's getting
    on a bit. I'd be much more judgmental if I didn't think a similar fate
    may well await me...

    Don't they remove something from chocolate to make dog chocolates?
    I heard that normal chocolate was very bad for dogs.

    Chocolate is no more or less poisonous to dogs than it is to humans, it's
    just that humans won't eat lethal doses of chocolate whereas a dog will if
    it can get its paws on them.

    The other thing is that most humans have a tolerance for caffine that most
    dogs don't build up.

    [1] Somewhere between 0.5 and 1.5 stone of chocolate for a human, less for
    a dog because of their smaller size.

    I'll be fitting a new chain and sprockets on the FZR tomorrow, and
    getting some bones too if the weather is fine and dry.

    I've still got to be careful with the dosh, and have to do a fair bit of
    running around taking stuff to the dump and over to my new place bit by
    bit. This will go on until I move at the end of this month / next month.

    I've had (well, part-owned) several cats when I lived at home. They were
    fed mostly on leftovers, scraps etc, anything they could catch, and the odd
    soft-shelled egg from the henhouse. If you set down a raw egg for a cat,
    it'll lap the whole thing up and take the pattern off the plate while it's
    at it. When I first left home and was living in a bedsit in Bristol, force
    of habit saw several dinner plates set on the floor to be cleaned, and I
    kept seeing the old thing skulking around out of the corner of my eye.

    A variation on Beef Wellington - as normal but with Fila pastry.

    Do you know if it's a lingering death for the human? Sounds like a
    nice way to bow out on the face of it.

  14. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "platypus"
    Every cat I've had has gone mental for pork of any description. I'm wary
    of giving them too much just in case it'll kill them for some weird cat
    metabolism reason.

    After all, given that they're so keen on it, there must be some reason
    why you don't find tins of Kattikins Pig.

    Heh. I wondered who'd spot that.

    Anyway, no problemo - I'd just wave my smoke-bottling spoon at them...

    She, actually.
    Similar colour, yes. Used to have one very much like Cains (called her
    Nutmeg), but Minkey's actually got a lot more black than that. Your
    new kitten looks a cutie too.

    Yeah, as I said. It's free though, and will do until I get round to
    finding something better.
    Dunno. I just think of it as dark, non-tabby tortoiseshell.

    IANAD but I'm guessing that it would lead to massive kidney failure or
    similar, so not a nice way to go at all.

  20. Cheapskate. Why does your cat get cheapo economy food ? Do you eat
    economy, too ?
