Arrgh! This is the headline for the teaser on the news page.
Unfortunately, it isn't text, it is a film cliip and this $#@@ dial-up
is too slow, it won't play. I searched the web for news, but nothing came up.
Has anybody heard about this one?
Lori, did you check to see if Bandit was in her bed last night? LOL.

CatNipped...
I couldn't find it when I searched the web for. I have broadband and can play the film
clip - can you post the URL?

My ex-wife has got two Devon Rex cats, Loomis, a neutered male, and his
daughter, Isis. Devon Rex is a quite small breed, but they are strong and
brave.

One day last summer, my ex's neighbor came along with his dog, an English
Setter, about 30 kg (hmmm, 60 pounds?). The dog walked around unleashed
while my ex and the neighbor stood talking for a while. Loomis was out on
the lawn, minding his own business, but also keeping an eye on the dog...
This dog is a very nice dog, without any thoughts of making trouble for
anybody, but after a while he found out he would like to say hello to the
cat on the lawn. Let's just call it a mistake...

According to Loomis' rules, there are only a few, hand-picked individuals
(in fact, only his daughter) from the animal world who are allowed to use
*his* lawn. This dog was not one of them! Loomis ran up to the dog with all
signs of aggression, and the dog tried to keep the furious cat away with his
paw, but Loomis went straight to the dog's faces with all his claws out.
Poor dog just turned around and ran off the lawn and down the road with
Loomis after him. Loomis chased the dog down to the next block before he was
satisfied and went back home.

The dog's owner called for the dog, but the dog refused to come back as long
as Loomis was out there... The owner had to go down and fetch the dog...

Cats can be dangerous to dogs, because they've got another way to fight that
dogs can't defend themselves from that good.

So now the Setter knows his place in the neighborhood, and Loomis accepts
that it is there, as long as it keeps out from the lawn...

Yes we do need to remember we only handle our masters with their consent.
I'm quite convinced that a determined cat could peel a human like a grape if
so inclined.

This is one reason Molly has not yet had a bath. I prefer to believe I
could give her a bath if I needed to.
