The same would occur, I believe, with my two old lady cats (15 and 18), and I wouldn't blame them at all.

You are probably already aware of another "How to" involving cats -- "How to Pill a Cat". If you all haven't heard that one, I'll be glad to post it.

Hint: the cat wins.

I was sitting at a traffic light, watching the cars go by when all of a sudden a dog, the boxer type, rushed through the traffic, dodging the cars to make it to the medium. He suddenly turned around and headed back through the traffic. Whereupon he was struck and was thrown through the air 50 or 60 feet landing in the middle of the right-hand lane. The light changed and I traveled through the intersection and was forced to stop because of the dog lying in the roadway. No one would stop, and I might not have either if it were not for the fact that he was laying so that I couldn't get past him. I was sure nothing could be done for him; the injuries were obviously fatal. As I got out of the car and began removing him from the road, I saw in his mouth, much to my surprise, a black ball of fur no bigger than my fist. I moved the dog to the side of the road where I discovered that that ball of black fur was a kitten. The dog had apparently rushed out to the medium to save him, since, during the whole ordeal, he never bit down or harmed the kitten in any way. It's been 2 years and she fits in rather well with our other 3 children...er...cats. We had always heard a farthing was a lucky coin, so it seemed appropriate to name her Farthing (Far Far for short). Below is a recent snap shot, I thought you might enjoy it.

Hi
To keep things honest....

I just did a search on google to see what a "line cut" would be like on a cat and the link I followed led to the above " lion cut" picture. Since it turned out to be a humor site I am not certain that the photo has been subjected to manipulation. That one really fooled me!

Steve, that's an incredible story, and an incredible beginning to a new chapter in that cat's life! Sure wish the dog had survived,

but glad you were the one to find Farthing.

Far Far certainly is lucky, and hopefully will share some of her luck with you throughout her lifetime.

cj,
rofl! anyone that's ever owned a cat can appreciate that technique

trimoon,
i've heard similar stories before, but never one quite so amazing. thank you.

i owned a cat once. i loved that cat. he was a big orange male that was pretty much 'cock of the roost' in the neighborhood. i tried to bathe him once....once. after returning home from the emergency room we made a pact to never do that again.

Craig, if you haven't already read it, you might "enjoy" the so-called directions on "How to Pill a Cat" -- it involves a visit to the emergency room

cj,

yup. just read it. i believe i've seen that one before on the .net, but it still makes me roll on the floor

thank you

i shld also mention in my little anecdote that my cat wouldnt speak to me for a week after that

cats are the most amazing of animals. the biggest single difference between a cat and a dog is, a dog gives you his trust unconditionally while a cat makes you earn it. but once you do earn it from a cat, they are the most incredibly loving and loyal animals in the world.

Obviously, no one has earned this cat's trust...

Kraellin · #28 06-04-2006, 11:54 AM

hehehe, i've seen both the lion cut and sniper kitty ones before. there is also one of a cat being bathed in a kitchen sink that's pretty funny

Don't know why one of us hadn't gotten around to posting this wet cat before, but here it is...

Rofl CJ, our cat loves water, even hangs around outside shower waiting for you to let him in and then if you are doing the dishes he likes to play in the dishwater as well
