Jar, my Maine Coon will willingly walk up to a running bath or shower, or sink what not, but you try and carry that blasted cat over there, and you better hope someone is around to call the Ambulance for ya...last time I tried to give it a bath, I have 16 marks in my chest with 16 matching holes in my shirt...

CT!!
Now you got me thinking about the mean and cruel things that happened in our neighborhood when I was young!
You and 13hondacr250!!!
Well, since I'm here, might as well vent.
My neighbor, an old grumpy man in his late 70's back then (latter part of the 60's), came walking up the road with a cat under his arm. The cat was howling in a low disagreeable manner, but had that deer-in-the-headlight look. My brother and I asked what he was going to do with the cat and he replied, "Gonna take the nasty little booger down to Frazier creek, pour some coal oil on his tail and light it up! Then I'm gonna sit back and watch him as he sets the woods on fire! What's it to you!"
Needless to say we ran home and told our parents, who said that,"...'Ol Grady ain't gonna do no such a thing, boys, he's just being Grady."
That night we had to go help the rest of the neighbors out a forest fire before it caught the church afire.
Never did like 'Ol Grady after that.

The problem was then, that no one really knew what caused the fire. Even Grady was out there fighting the fire with us. It was the impression we got that suggested he started it with the coal oil/cat's tail.
Until I was around 25 yrs old, I believed that he did. Unfortunately he died when I was still young and I never really knew for sure.
It was that impression that stuck with me, haunted me for almost twenty years. I finally had to give up on that belief - surely no one would be that cold-hearted!!

Never under estimate the depravity of the human mind.

My cat Vicky is retaded she will go and play in the rain. Our cats only live in the basement or outside. Maybe her problem was when she was a kitty the garage door shut on her. Also she cant manage to catch mice (yes she has all her claws) but she does looks both ways befor she crosses the street. She is and odd cat
