we heard my 8 year old crying... you know, that cry that triggers EVERY primordial response to kill whatever is hurting her (any dad/mom knows this sound)
Thank God, I don't know that sound yet, but I am getting married in December so I imagine that it is in the post. I hate kids, what I mean is that I am ill at ease around them and would run a mile when they cry, so I suppose that is my current primordial response when I hear kids cry ... run. ;P So I can't relate. On a funny related story we once cooked our Goldfish (small orange fish). Our central heating system was being converted from a back boiler (coal fired) to a gas fired central heating system. So we had to move out of the living room to the sitting room while this was being done, all the furniture also had the come out of the living room while this was being done. I put the Goldfish fish bowl on the Mantelpiece over the fire in the sitting room and later mum lit a fire because the room was cold, no central heating remember, after an hour or so we noticed steam rising from the Goldfish Bowl and the Goldfish fish floating at the top of the bowl... poor Scooby Doo.
That's not a funny story, man. :doh: I'm not saying it's in bad taste, just that a story about a pet being boiled alive doesn't inspire me to laugh.
Cheers, Vikram.

Ray, you boiled your pet fish? Wait on the kids for a little bit!:laugh: Seriously, about kids, be careful. My wife kids growing up. Babysitting was not her favorite job. She has 11 children now, plus all the neighbors' kids :mad: when the neighbors go shopping (I kid you not, they KNOW someone is always home). Still, cooking for fish? Well, I suppose locking our cat under the house for a week almost qualifies - 2 am and you hear this *weird* whining sound from the downstairs furnace... :) Addendum - my wife loves kids... as long as they are hers... :)

Wait .... Wait .... you have 11 kids ... your kidding right ? Well we haven't made any firm plans yet regarding kids, just something that will probably happen in the next few years. I amn't in any hurry to have kids, but you know women ... tick-tock ... :-O

Fair enough ... BTW we didn't set out to cook our Goldfish it was accident.

Vikram - no offense meant, but I have seen so much carnage in my neighborhood regarding pets, wild animals, vultures, hawks - that the fish inadvertently meeting its demise... well... you're right, not funny in the end....

There are days (moment of honesty) when I wish I were :) But, no, the family is that big, and I haven't had any that I'd be willing to return yet.... :)

reminds me of a Police academy movie where the captain visits a japanese restaurant. (the captain always takes his fish with him.) When he's conversating a while with the cook you see the fish, which he put on the boiling plate, starting to cook... :laugh:

they grew up and became truculant
I had to look up the meaning of that - aggressive . Were they Boys or Girls? The breeder I got mine from had about 5 adult cats (2 of which were of course my kitten's mum's) and they were all very affectionate. They're like kids - its the way you raise them, and although Im a first time pet owner I think im doing pretty well so far. My kittens certainly seem content. On a related note, and im sure its been said before, in my next life I ho[pe to be resurected as a Cat. Their life consists of; Sleeping, Cleaning,Playing, Eating. Pretty much in that order.

For the moment, workload is a bit low, so here's a ridiculous question for you all: What pets do you have? What do they do that's funny? What's his/hers name, color, # of legs/paws, ...? We have a black hamster at home named Franklin, he tries to stick objects into his jaws that are bigger then he is... the funniest thing he does is hang upside down in his cage. I'm still wondering how he does it, because it's all full plastic except the top part (to open it), so he actually has to jump. Once we forgot to lock the cage and he managed to escape !! Occasionally he stands on top of his wheel, falling of when the starts to turn. The wonderous world of fauna :-)

Cats: Zinnie, male, sleeps on the pillows while we are trying to sleep Otis, female, short tail that is fused in a complete bend; picked her up as a kitten by sticking my finger in the bend. Garfield, male, Otis first litter; tail fused in a Z shape Bob, female, Otis second litter Larry, female, Ots second litter; absolute fuzz ball Darryl, male, Otis second litter; all black; short tail Shelby, male, Otis second litter; black and white; long tail

I have big black and white long-haired cat. She hates being brushed so her hair gets matted, which of course makes her hate getting brushed even more. I've considered letting her get dreads. She doesn't really like too many people other than me and lately she's been testing my patience by crapping on the floor. About 12 inches to the right of the litterbox. Now that I think about, anyone want a cat? :~

Am I missing something here, or do these cats have some sort of gender identification issues?

No, not missing anything.. they were named when the were only days old and as yet, gender undetermined. The original names were: Larry, Darryl, Darryl and Bob And, if you are a fan of 'The Bob Newhart Show', the names make perfect sense; otherwise, chock it up to eccentricity. Now, we say Bob is short for Bobbie and Larry for Lawrencia.

- What pets do you have: Other than my computer? None - What do they do that's funny: There's nothing funny about my PC, it crashes... - What's his/hers name, color # of legs/paws: My computer doesn't have a name, it's black and last time I checked there were no legs. No seriously, I don't have a pet. However, I would like one, something like a fish. But I don't have the room for an aquarium right now, so that has to wait until I move out of this place.

Ooh, I finally think I have something interesting to reply about. We have five ferrets, two bearded dragon lizards, and one sugar glider. I grew up having dogs and cats, but my older son is allergic to cats and my younger son is allergic to dogs - go figure. They seem ok with the ferrets though. Ferrets are interesting enough, but two weeks ago when my whole family was sick, we found out ferrets can catch the flu. Try four sick family members and five sneezing and coughing ferrets for fun. One also got an ear infection, his balance was screwed up, and he kept falling over. Scott
