Guess who has a car now?

[minxnim]

um no. it's rectangular and decidedly not gunny at all.

Alex:By "come over" I meant "PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE FOR IMPLYING BUNNY ILLTREATMENT!"

Prepz: We just got plastic because our well clawed friends will shred anything else.

ahh yea i mean if the animal tends to dig/chew then the fabric is a bad idea. but fred is a good boy. he mostly just sits there and stares at me. when i zip open the little hole on the top he sticks his head out and looks around and goes back in. like a bunny submarine.

Yeah well one of my cats would literally eat a cardboard carrier and the other two would work together to disable anything they actually could.

Anyhow... last night, Martha was curled up in this basket with a blanket in it. My mom's cat, Oliver comes along and is all set to jump in and pounce her. Next thing you know, Martha's brother Clint jumps down off the windowsill and chases Oliver across the house.

ah, then they're not as good as mr fred:

this thread has turned to alex's least liked topic: PETS AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT THEM IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

My cats are good, but have an aversion to cars. Always have.

I like pets, as long as they're cute and cuddly instead of savage and filthy.

 

[xfer]

And how many times do I have to remind you? Concentration ranch.

 

[minxnim]

my dad used to tell me never to trust people that dislike dogs. seriously!

 

[xfer]

Because we're not easily fooled, and dealing with people who are easily fooled is better.

 

[minxnim]

um no. but you can think that.

I am not known as a dog person. This is mostly b/c my neighbors trains theirs shitty. For instance, the one I nearly ran over last night is known to bite children but the family finds him "SO CUTE!" that they don't punish the animal in any way. The Welsh Corgey though... she's my bud. Poor dear's always had stubby legs but has arthritis setting in due to lld age now and can barely move.

 

[avi]

indeed.

 

[avi]

fwiw, unless you catch a dog in the act, "punishment" is more detrimental than anything else.

 

[minxnim]

well, i'm not particularly a 'cat' person, meaning, we've never had cats of our own. but i still like them and think they're great & cute and would help a cat out (and be nice to it)

Malden! my grandparents used to live there.

 

[xfer]

Lizard is from Malden white-trash stock?

 

[lizard]

nah my family lived for 300 years in Hingham; then for whatever reason they decamped for the Malden/Wakefield/Melrose area. I was born in Melrose hospital, where my great aunt just died last week.
